This article comes across as rather biased, and the tag category for 'Human rights' completely misplaced. Representatives for this same think tank actively campaign for denying human rights to people based on their ethnicity and religion (Palestinians) and also campaigns for violating international law (annexation of land). If an organization is only concerned with the human rights of one single ethnicity, and even actively wants to suppress the human rights of others, then it seems rather far-fetched to call it a human rights organization.

Can you please provide concrete evidence for your claim that "[r]epresentatives for this same think tank actively campaign for denying human rights to people based on their ethnicity and religion and...violating international law..."? meadowfreak (talk) 03:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's rather disingenuous to describe what essentially is an activist body for supporting transnational repression as a "human rights organisation." The Lawfare Projects spends more time dedicated to fighting human rights bodies' criticisms of the actions of the Israeli governnent than advancing any widely accepted conception of civil rights (a fact it seems rather proud of). It would be no different if a pro-Putin organisation run by Russians started suing institutions for "Russophobia on campuses" specifically targeting critics of the invasion of Ukraine. The glowing Huffington Post citation in the article literally features a quote from a speaker at their flagship event defending the use of torture.

Aside from those simple facts, this article is clearly an advertisement for a political operation. It has no place on Wikipedia. 69.157.1.37 (talk) 15:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
