In 2020, the online news organization The Intercept revealed that HRW’s then-Executive Director, Ken Roth, accepted a $470,000 donation from a Saudi billionaire based on the condition that HRW would not use the money to protect the rights of the persecuted LGBTQ-plus community in the Middle East.
Roth was compelled to return the donation after The Intercept report.
It not being a literal active war zone is probably a good first step, I’d say. That, and “back into Gaza” implies they’ve been forced out of Gaza, which isn’t true.
If Israel were truly attempting to eliminate the Palestinians as a people, it would take a few hours. It’s not like they lack the firepower. I’ll readily concede that they’ve been much less careful about preventing civilian casualties, and they absolutely should be criticized for that, but that’s a significant and meaningfully different thing from deliberately targeting and killing civilians.
They absolutely have been forced out of Gaza.

My apologies, I was referring to the Gaza Strip as a whole, not specifically the city.
If you see Jewish settlers being sent to Gaza after this mess, I’ll eagerly join you in being outraged, just as I find the West Bank settlements a disgrace. But I don’t think it’s useful to get angry over things that haven’t happened yet, especially when there are plenty of events that have already happened that are more worthy of anger.
