JERUSALEM — Peter Tatchell believes that the world should have a human-rights index similar to the ones that measure economic performance and quality of life. I have one question: What is to stop so-called human-rights organizations from instilling their biases against Israel — as the founder of Human Rights Watch admits they have — in any future index?
The myths of “Israeli colonialism” and “Israeli apartheid” have become so pervasive even though their arguments are patently absurd.
