In 2020, the online news organization The Intercept revealed that HRW’s then-Executive Director, Ken Roth, accepted a $470,000 donation from a Saudi billionaire based on the condition that HRW would not use the money to protect the rights of the persecuted LGBTQ-plus community in the Middle East.
Roth was compelled to return the donation after The Intercept report.
The “genocide” debate here is activists trying to seize the high ground after Hamas’s hideous acts. Their hope, after an assault of such barbarity, is to label the response “genocidal” and hope that people chase that shiny lure instead of remembering why this war happened at all.
So all the children they killed were part of Hamas?
Quite the strawman. People deploying the word “genocide” are either ignorant of what the word means or are intentionally misusing it for political purposes because they would otherwise be faced with having to discuss why this war began at all. Word play debates do little to alleviate people’s suffering. Denial of the other side’s humanity & dueling victimhood, eliminate empathy. We’ve had FEW cases of legal genocide since 1948, the question is how do these debates help long term?
You were the one who said they were doing it to stop Hamas. So were the 5000+ children part of Hamas or not?
Also, ‘legal genocide’ is weaseling out of this. Trump didn’t ‘legally’ commit rape against E. Jean Carroll. He still raped her.
Again, you are forcing a strawman. This war began with the barbarity of October 7th. As with all wars, there are civilian causality.
I also wouldn’t put too much faith in the numbers as they come from Hamas. Not only do they not differentiate between their own members and civilians, but have been known to fabricate for propaganda purposes as I explained.
The term genocide is a criminal charge and has a legal definition. Making up a definition is weaseleing out, not using a proper legal definition
Actually, the judge said he did commit rape.
How many wars kill 5000 children in less than 2 months? Amazing you find that acceptable.

He was not legally found to have raped her. It was not legally rape. The judge said it was still rape because it was still rape despite what the law says.
Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, etc etc
Millions dead. Almost 40 million forcibly displaced.
When the judge says you’re guilty, you’re guilty.
The judge did not say he was legally guilty of rape. Read the article.
I’m really not interested in Trump’s rape today. See ya
