"Responding to an NGO Monitor Report accusing Human Rights Watch of anti-Israel bias (a topic that has been covered here before), HRW’s Middle East Director Sarah Leah Whitson replies, ‘It’s hard to comprehend how NGO Monitor thinks that merely devoting an alleged 9% of Human Rights Watch’s energies in the Middle East to Israel constitutes a disproportionate focus.’" "Instead, Whitson claims that the disproportionate focus isn’t disproportionate to begin with, and indeed it’s incomprehensible that anyone might think otherwise, which is another nail in HRW’s credibility coffin." "Whitson adds: ‘Israel today is the only country committing collective punishment by blockade because it is the only country that, directly and through its pressure on Egypt, is blocking all borders of a territory in order to squeeze its civilian population.’"
