Dear Ken Roth,
Today you revealed you love peace like the harlot revealed her love for the baby whom she asked King Solomon to cut into two.
You chose to use a Yiddish word—something you never do—purely to mock Jews celebrating the Israel-UAE peace accord.
Otherwise, you never use Jewish words or ideas, or make any positive Jewish references at all.
Your contemptuous actions, comments and attitude toward Jews, Judaism and the Jewish state over decades make one thing clear: you are ashamed of your Jewish identity.
That is why, every single day, you devote your foul, fervid fury to depicting the Jewish state in Nazi-like terms.
This year alone, you accused Israel of “war crimes” 10 times more than you did against Iran, Syria, Hamas, Russia, China and Venezuela — put together. Likewise, over an 18-month period in 2017-2018, you devoted more than 70% of your tweets alleging “illegal” acts to the criticism of only one single country: Israel. By contrast, only 1% of your tweets accused Syria, Russia, Iraq, Libya or Yemen of the same.
Even the founder of your organization, my late friend Robert Bernstein, saw how your pathological self-hatred led you down the dark path of defending terrorist groups that seek Israel’s destruction — and Bob denounced you for it in the New York Times.
Human rights is not your real motive, but invoking its precepts grants you the cover of virtue even as you act out your bigotry, aggression and hostility toward a people that, throughout history, has always been the easiest and most career-enhancing to target.
It’s time for you to go — and if not, I call on Human Rights Watch to fire you.
Sincerely,
Hillel C. Neuer
Executive Director
United Nations Watch
Geneva, Switzerland
Ken Roth’s every comment on the UAE-Israel peace accord has been negative or condemnatory:
Two concerns with the Israeli-Emirati deal just announced:
1. Netanyahu makes clear that annexation is "still on the table," just temporarily delayed.
2. The deal doesn't address the oppressive, discriminatory "one-state reality" that remains in place.https://t.co/PCRFlKsp64 pic.twitter.com/LjaP1IPgLD— Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) August 13, 2020
Of course we all want a just peace to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but we've been saying that for 50+ years and getting nowhere. Isn't it time to press for equal rights within the "one-state reality." An endless "peace process" is no longer an excuse to delay. https://t.co/rq8Mnu6Bwb

The UAE-Israeli deal did nothing to advance the moribund Palestinian "peace process." "A new generation of Palestinians" is giving up on the elusive idea of two states and is focusing more on the "reality based on one state." Will it have equal rights? https://t.co/hTOJXJOOFT

Even before the latest deal, Emirati use of Israeli hardware and software "has contributed to a constraint of the freedom of speech over the past decade that is unprecedented in its rigidity, even in the Gulf." Now authorities threaten critics of the deal. https://t.co/zPtKKD8kJt

1. Ken reveals he loves peace like the harlot revealed her love for the baby she asked King Solomon to cut in 2.
2. He uses a Yiddish word to mock Jews celebrating the Israel-UAE peace accord.
3. Ken never makes positive Jewish references. He's uncomfortable with his identity. https://t.co/4z9GAmrp6b
