О том, как цепные правозащитные псы заблудились на Ближнем Востоке.

Газета для думающих жителей Нового Йоркского местечка разразилась неожиданной (на фоне привычных публикаций иранолюбивого кролика Роджера Коэна) статьей легендарного основателя и почетного председателя Human Rights Watch Роберта Бернстайна.

Human Rights Watch had as its original mission to pry open closed societies, advocate basic freedoms and support dissenters. But recently it has been issuing reports on the Israeli-Arab conflict that are helping those who wish to turn Israel into a pariah state.

Можно предположить, что абсурд ситуации становится ясен и невыносим даже тем, кто годами пытался эту ситуацию не замечать. Но у некотрых людей еще остались четкие представления о таком (довольно абстрактном для некотрых групп так наз. "интеллектуалов") понятии, как совесть.
 
Leaders of Human Rights Watch know that Hamas and Hezbollah chose to wage war from densely populated areas, deliberately transforming neighborhoods into battlefields. They know that more and better arms are flowing into both Gaza and Lebanon and are poised to strike again. And they know that this militancy continues to deprive Palestinians of any chance for the peaceful and productive life they deserve. Yet Israel, the repeated victim of aggression, faces the brunt of Human Rights Watch’s criticism. The organization is expressly concerned mainly with how wars are fought, not with motivations. To be sure, even victims of aggression are bound by the laws of war and must do their utmost to minimize civilian casualties. Nevertheless, there is a difference between wrongs committed in self-defense and those perpetrated intentionally.

Тут ни убавить, ни прибавить. Так держать, товарищ  Беренштейн! А вот товарища Голдстона я попрошу остаться. Не стану, впрочем, уточнять - где. :-)
