The FPA joins Palestine DeepDive to talk to Kenneth Roth ‘the Godfather of Human Rights’ about Harvard’s reported decision to block him from taking up a fellowship over Human Rights Watch's criticism of Israel’s human rights record.

The Harvard Kennedy School has bowed to pressure, after large donors and some prominent pro-Israeli organizations attacked HRW which Roth directed from 1993-2022, after the organization's April 2021 report documenting Israel’s systematic oppression of the Palestinians both across the oPt and within Israel itself and how it amounts to apartheid. At the same time, Associated Press fired their new recruit journalist Emily Wilder when lobby groups pointed out previous posts they considered as anti-Israel.

Join us as we learn why Roth feels his senior fellowship position at Harvard has been blocked, and the challenges human rights advocates and reporters face for reporting on Israel.
