HRW's Ken Roth accuses US and Israel of "war crimes" more often than anyone else, by far

This morning Ken Roth, head of Human Rights Watch, tweeted this:

Israel's latest challenge, Netanyahu to Biden: Here are 800 new war-crime settler homes. What are you going to do about them. https://t.co/gEIcrTDrMK pic.twitter.com/lFQ6DkWFgg

I have noticed that he really likes to accuse Israel of "war crimes," often for the heinous crime of building houses. 

So I looked at how often he used that term in 2020 and which countries he was referring to.

Judging from his result, the US and Israel are by far the worst violators of war crime on the planet.

This is just another data point on how Human Rights Watch and its leader are obsessed with Western nations and downplay the horrific, actual war crimes done by other countries.

In the case of Israel, three of the references were to "settlements" and the rest were to nothing in particular, just saying that Israel does "war crimes" in Palestinian areas without specifying them, because it is so obvious to him that Israel is one of the biggest violators on the planet that it doesn't even need specifying. . For Russia and Syria, they were very specific tweets about bombing civilians in Syria.
