In no way can self-defense vs. terror attacks be equated to actual terror attacks, but you wouldn't know it from this latest dreck from HRW. In this latest article, HRW pretends Palestinians killed (even proven terrorists) are casualties that are just as inexcusable as those on the Israeli side.

Pitiful.

In fact, this disgusting anti-Israel advocacy by HRW & friends just incites more Palestinian hate & violence.

I really think that's the point.

To prove it, never once did HRW condemn any of the knife or car ramming attacks that were happening last year, which prompted Israeli self-defense that HRW is now condemning. That's not an oversight, condemning Israel while saying nothing about Palestinian incitement & terror, it's downright evil.
