HRW should be "tough" on any nation that violates people's human rights. That's their mission.

And it seems like they are. They're tough on Saudi Arabia too.

Sure. But it’s hard to ignore that they are far harsher on Israel than any other country.

But don’t take it from me. Take that from a senior editor who left HRW after 13 years: https://www.timesofisrael.com/outgoing-human-rights-watch-se...

Her objections include: "HRW’s initial reactions to the Hamas attacks...included the ‘context’ of ‘apartheid’ and ‘occupation’"

And "political framing that could always contextualize and “explain” why Jewish Israeli lives were lost in Palestinian violence."

It sounds like she wanted their coverage to be more one-sided. Explaining "the ‘context’ of ‘apartheid’ and ‘occupation’" is perfectly valid.
