Israel: Human Rights Watch is ‘propaganda’ group, can’t have workers permit
The Interior Ministry denied a workers permit to a Human Rights Watch staff member on the grounds that the international NGO engaged in pro-Palestinian propaganda.
“The opinion received from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that, for some time now, this organization’s public activities and reports have engaged in politics in the service of Palestinian propaganda, while falsely raising the banner of “human rights”, and therefore recommended denying the application,” the Interior Ministry said in a letter it sent to the group that was publicized on Friday.
