Did Human Rights Watch Censor Its Top Researcher on Palestine?

from Mehdi Unfiltered · host Zeteo

Human Rights Watch has become known for their scathing reports on Israel's treatment of Palestinians, accusing the country of committing  apartheid and carrying out acts of genocide in Gaza. So why did the organization suddenly decide to block a report on Palestinians refugees' right to return? In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi speaks with the author of that report, Omar Shakir – who resigned from HRW this week, after nearly a decade of leading the organization's Israel and Palestine team.
