How The Media Helped Mandelson, Epstein & Mossad
This Palestine Report was BLOCKED by Human Rights Watch
In this episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi interviews Omar Shakir, the author of a Human Rights Watch report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees — a report the organization declined to publish. Shakir recently resigned from his role as HRW’s Israel and Palestine Director after nearly a decade leading the team.
Watch Shakir and Mehdi discuss changes under Human Rights Watch’s leadership, why the report was shelved leaving Shakir with no choice but to resign, the findings of the report, the reluctance of progressive institutions to endorse Palestinians’ right to return, and ultimately why he believes Israel’s denying of Palestinians’ right of return is, “simply locking in the prior ethnic cleansing of 1948.”
