[Excerpt:]

"But Cobb-Smith’s background reveals that he is far from a neutral observer. He runs a business, Chiron Resources, guiding NGOs and the media through conflict zones and performing ‘investigations.’ One such investigation dismissed the 94-page IDF inquiry into the 2003 death of a British citizen in Rafah, blaming Israel for a ‘calculated and cold-blooded murder,’ while another helped Amnesty promote the myth of a ‘massacre’ in Jenin in 2002. A serious discussion of human rights issues in the Gaza conflict requires an unbiased analysis of reliable evidence. Amnesty and Cobb-Smith are incapable of providing this."
