HRW raises funds in Saudi Arabia by demonizing Israel
Leaders of Human Rights Watch visited Saudi Arabia one of the major violators of the norms that HRW claims to promote to raise funds for the organization. HRWs anti-Israel obsession was stated as the major reason for holding this Saudi fundraiser. Sarah Leah Whitsons appeal for Saudi support and money acknowledged HRWs anti-Israel focus extensively, claiming that Human Rights Watch provided the international community with evidence of Israel using white phosphorus and launching systematic destructive attacks on civilian targets. Whitson also invoked the canard of pro-Israel pressure groups.
