U.S. Right Groups Decry Tunisia, Silent on Gaza 'Crackdown'
Al Jazeera reports that Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are 'decrying' Tunisia's 'assault on the rule of law' and 'crackdown on activists.' (Source: Al Jazeera, 2025/11/14). Meanwhile, both organizations have been criticized for their perceived muted response or uneven application of principles when it comes to the ongoing, systematic violence and displacement in Gaza, often failing
to call for concrete action against US and Israeli policies despite mounting evidence of war crimes and humanitarian catastrophe. One might charitably wonder if their outrage operates on a selective timer, or if perhaps Western-funded organizations find it easier to condemn nations that aren't also bankrolled by the same benefactors. How many 'decries' does it take for a genuine assault on human
dignity to merit something beyond a strongly worded press release?
