A revealing glimpse into how human rights NGOs’ commitments to “accountability” “transparency” and “feedback” pan out in reality. After The Atlantic exposed ideological rot and broken practices in its March 2025 “The Double Standard in the Human-Rights World,” Amnesty USA’s Paul O’Brien ignored the article’s substance, expressed pride in work drawn into question, urged staff to bury the piece, outlined media spin, and comforted—not victims—but colleagues upset by the criticism. Case closed. @amnestyusa @amnesty @AgnesCallamard @TheAtlantic @dpaulobrien

The Irish band Kneecap makes its stance clear—“F*** Israel” on screen, Hezbollah flags onstage. MSF makes its stance clear too: its UK Exec Director Natalie Roberts responds with a heart and solidarity fist emoji, and the org takes Kneecap dollars—while preaching “neutrality” and “impartiality.” A "humanitarian" disgrace to add to the growing list of human rights and humanitarian orgs that have abandoned all pretense of sticking to principles. @MSF @MSF_uk @amnesty @hrw

Shame on all who failed the protesters in Gaza and ignored their pleas and cries for freedom, dignity, and a future free of Hamas, terrorism, violence, and conflict. Shame on all the "journalists," "human rights" fraudsters, "pro-Palestine" and "solidarity" activists, college campus advocates, academics, clueless leftists, conspiracy theorists, Intifadists, Jihadists, professors, and other imbeciles who didn't utter a word in support of tens of thousands of Gazans demanding an end to Hamas and the war that it started. Your beloved "resistance" group just tortured 22-year-old Oday to death and left his body out in the street. Say his name and remember it like you remembered your other "hero": Oday Nasser Al Rabee @i24NEWS_EN

The World's great Human Rights Organizations wear ideological blinders when it comes to Israel and their Jewish employees, and it can get ugly. A 🧵 on my article examining this in The Atlantic: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

The world's most influential Human Rights Groups and anti-Israel, and sometimes anti-Jewish politics. "They think if they scream ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ we will go back to Europe” an Israeli activist said. “I feel like I’ve been just a useful idiot”: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
