HRW and Amnesty International

It was not an easy matter what those two organizations have done in the case of Zaynab Al-Husni.  It only confirms what we have known all along.  That they treat Israel much more carefully than they treat the enemies of Israel.  In the case of Israel, each accuser and each grieving mother is interrogated for a year at least, before they use any information from victims' families.  In fact, I don't recall they ever give credence to any claims by victims' families.  I just told a HRW local director: I wish HRW raised a stink about the dead bodies of Syrian workers that were appearing all over Lebanon over the last several years.  Hundreds of Syrian workers have been killed and others have since disappeared.  Did HRW issue a statement in which they attacked the Fu'ad Sanyurah government which led the chorus of racist agitation against all Syrians in Lebanon?
