A new Middle East alliance: Human Rights Watch and the Israeli army

"As human rights organizations continue to be vilified by an Israeli government still smarting from the effects of the Goldstone Report, the Forward has learned that the Israeli military has been in conversation and even actively working with Human Rights Watch, the international organization that has been often — and loudly — denounced by the Jewish world." Can you imagine the uproar if Human Rights Watch was cooperating with the Syrian or Iranian armies? (thanks Laleh)
