Recognize legitimate belligerency, and then try to mitigate it.

This will also require Hamas and more importantly Islamic Jihad leaders be tried by an international tribune, rather than simply kept in the memory hole by Israel.

or so I/P regulars keep assuring me.

This declaration is nothing new for HRW, who have held this position since... uh... well, forever, really.

Please point to a single post from an I/P regular that says HRW is a "nazi Jew-hating" organization.

There's this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/11343456

Now, I would say that the use of "nazi" was hyperbole - and I would point out that you don't care when other hasbara peddlers use it that way - but when the constant message is that Human Rights Watch is a racist next of vipers who hate Israel and want nothing less than the total destruction of Israel and link arms with other anti-Jewish monsters to do so in a grand global conspiracy against the Jewish people? The allusion to naziism is pretty explicit

Also, have you ever heard of Marc Garlasco? See, his grandfather happened to serve in the wehrmacht during WW2, and Mr. Garlasco has a collection of Nazi-era souvenirs. Apparently, That makes him a nazi. His position in HRW of course makes HRW a Nazi hotbed.

This whole shindig is of course aided and abetted by the lobby group, NGO Monitor, who you just got done peddling defenses of. it at least avoids the wild-eyed Khaki-shirt rhetoric, but it still portrays HRW as a diabolical untrustworthy group in league with Israel's enemies due to a witches brew of leftism and irrational hate for Jews.

and go off on a different tangent .

Think if you throw so much information out there in a post that it will be forgot that you were meant to prove an absurd hyperbolic post ,that you were called out on, but couldn't .

Next time some dribbling cretin of a hasbara pimp starts with the "HRW HATES JEWS AND WANTS TO DESTROY ISRAEL," I'll be like "hey - shut the fuck up, hasbara pimp! Dave and Oberliner says they're A-Okay!"

You have these imaginary "cretin(s) of a hasbara pimp" in your mind that don't actually exist here.

It's really odd.

Which they already are, according to the 'lip service, too little too late' brigade, or will be next week, according to the (timewarping forward a week here) 'HRW never criticises Hamas!' bunch.

Yes, that wrist slap really made a point.

I can give you links to a whole bunch of stuff going back years if I thought you were genuinelly interested in it...

It's a no-brainier. They should never happen.

Meanwhile, that doesn't mean Israel's attacks are any less condemnable and wrong.
