Oh ive seen this before. This is one of those “manufacturing consent” type articles right? Seems like very weird timing for human rights watch to bring this up now, right after Iran and Israel have started facing off…

If HRW and AI are “propaganda tools” then they are doing a shitty job. Since they are a few orgs that actually bothers to call out western world human right violations and war crimes.
And the timing kind of makes sense if you take into consideration that it’s based on 2023 December report by AI. People just look for any reasons to justify their own preconceived beliefs.
