"I once ran Human Rights Watch. Harvard blocked my fellowship over Israel"

My general observation on this is that every government thinks Human Rights Watch is biased against them because HRW's mission is to criticize governments. I'm sure say, Azerbaijan, also thinks Ken Roth is biased against them. https://t.co/WY3rytW5Ka

China has issued sanctions against Ken Roth, presumably a lot of hollywood and tech firms trying to do business in China wouldn't hire Roth for that reason. What's Harvard's interest in the whole affair? https://t.co/ia6YQA0rJ4

Yeah, i posted the original the other day, lost in the noise.

"My job is to make enemies".

With Israel doubling down on a new hard right-wing policies, and the Chinese gov being shittier and shittier, not a good time to let an equal opportunity human rights voice be maligned and shut down. Hey, maybe the House will hold hearings on Ken now. [3rd decade of intransigent Netanjahu leadership headiing the Jewish flagship, yum. Not exactly great marketing there for the rest of the team, but the beat(Ing) goes on...]
