Op-Ed: Defend Israeli and Palestinian human rights workers (via latimesopinion)

for war crimes. These investigations may include the most recent war in Israel and Gaza.

In 2010, just a few months after I started my job as chief executive of the New Israel Fund, a group of ultra-right-wing Israelis aligned with Netanyahu’s administration launched a vicious public attack on human rights supporters and organizations. My organization, which supports human rights work, was made a central target of the attack. The United Nations had just published, which investigated alleged Israeli and Hamas human rights violations during the 2008-2009 war in and around Gaza.

Then, sometimes quietly, sometimes less so, the American administration stepped in. In 2011, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton toldat the Saban Forum in Washington that Israel should not pass laws aimed at drying up the funds of peace and human rights organizations, because that is something democracies don’t do. Officials in the Obama administration made it clear that the U.S. would disapprove of attempts to pass such legislation.
