Ken Roth, the former Human Rights Watch head, who turned that NGO into an unextinguishable fount of anti-Israeli animus, has just tweeted from his new post at Princeton, to which he moved after his one-year, extravagantly-paid year at Harvard’s Kennedy School, the following: “International humanitarian law prohibits collective punishment of…protected persons for acts committed by […]
Harvard Caves to Woke Mob, Reinstates Fellowship for Antisemitic Activist
New in PJ Media: If you needed any more proof that our nation’s universities are not any longer institutions of higher learning but radioactive wastelands of far-Left indoctrination, the recent Kenneth Roth/Harvard imbroglio provides it in abundance.

Harvard reverses course, reinstates fellowship for antisemitic activist after pressure from anti-Israel lobby
On Kenneth Roth, see Hugh Fitzgerald’s piece here. Elmendorf says that the reinstatement of this sinister ideologue’s fellowship is about academic freedom, but that’s a lot of hooey.

IDF Rebuts Human Rights Watch Report on Israeli ‘War Crimes’
Human Rights Watch has become, under the malign leadership of Kenneth Roth, almost comically one-sided in its endless, and almost always baseless, charges against the state of Israel. For HRW, Israel is a “colonial settler” state, a state that practices “apartheid,” a state that routinely commits “war crimes.” Recently – on July 27 — […]
Just a Few Questions for Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch (Part 2)
In October 2009, the man who founded Human Rights Watch, Robert Bernstein, published in the New York Times his own criticism of HRW for the anti-Israel bias that had become so palpable under Kenneth Roth: I must do something that I never anticipated: I must publicly join the group’s critics. Human Rights Watch had as […]
Just a Few Questions for Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch (Part 1)
Kenneth Roth has been the head of Human Rights Watch since 1993, and in that position has for decades displayed an anti-Israel bias which, in its sheer relentlessness, is a wonder to behold. Not everyone is willing to let him get away with it. Chief among his opponents is Gerald M. Steinberg, the head of NGO […]
