Human Rights Expert: HRW report on Hamas crimes a 'despicable anti-Jewish report'

"Professor Anne Bayefsky, the Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and President of Human Rights Voices, spoke to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News about the release of a report by Human Rights Watch today detailing the war crimes committed by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 massacre.

Professor Bayefsky is highly critical of the Human Rights Watch report and its significant omissions. ‘In one of the most despicable anti-Jewish and anti-Israel reports ever produced by Human Rights Watch, the NGO refuses to admit that Palestinians engaged in systematic sexualized torture and rape of Jewish women and girls on October 7th.’

She notes, ‘At no point in its 252-page publication does the organization refer to Hamas's own grotesque video evidence of these sexual atrocities. Somehow, this enormously well-financed human rights investigatory group 'did not document any cases of rape' and claimed that it 'was not able to gather verifiable information' of rapes. On the contrary, Human Rights Watch chose to publicize subsequent Hamas propaganda that 'Hamas officials have denied that their fighters committed acts of sexual violence.' To this fraudulent human rights NGO, #MeTooUnlessUrAJew.’...

Human Rights Watch refused to admit the videotaped confessions of terrorists captured by Israel as evidence, claiming that such videos have ‘inherent unreliability.’..."
