The man's comments are measured, reasonable, informed, and in short, reflect exactly the state of mind people have a right to expect from a court official.

And so at the close of the article we get this:

'Palestinian human rights groups refused to meet the International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan on Saturday, accusing him of favoring Israeli accusations of rights abuses over longstanding Palestinian charges.

However Palestinian activists said they would refuse to see him because they objected to what they saw as unequal treatment of Israeli and Palestinian cases.

"As Palestinian human rights organizations, we decided not to meet him," said Ammar Al-Dwaik, director general of the Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR).'


Translated into plain English, this reads: He won't play along with our propaganda bullshit, so fuck him.

It is useful though, I suppose, for the 'director-general' of the ICHR to announce his organization is a mere propaganda shop, and that its claims, statements, and charges, should be regarded accordingly.
