The International NGO, Human Rights Watch (HRW) is once again proving once again why its top banana Ken Roth is a perennial nominee for the Self Hating Jew Awards. They have a simple strategy, Advocacy not Accuracy.

For example, a year before the Gaza War they objected to Israel's limited response to the rocket attacks on Sedrot. In Jan 2008, Joe Stork of HRW wrote a 34 paragraph long letter bashing Israel (the length of one of my wife's weekend honey-do lists).

Unless they’re talking about the ‘Allah given right’ to behead or stone those they disagree with.

The 57 state Organization of the Islamic Conference is talking about making their own worldwide “human rights” board. Because their rights under Islam do not mix with the West. It will end up being a massive worldwide Sharia law push.

Do you remember when he slipped and said that the United States consisted of 57 states? I think it is obvious where his mind was.

He also said in his Cairo speech that the West should not impede on how Muslims want to practice their religion.

“Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit,.....

And we all know what his favorite sound at sunrise is. Just wait until they mount speakers on top of the Black House.

Remember the "my Muslim faith" slip on ThisWeek.

Ol' Georgie S. was there to correct him ... "you mean, your Christian faith..."
