Bassem Eid
Bassem Eid is a Palestinian human rights activist who now works closely with the Israeli right. He also appeared in The Road to Jenin, Pierre Rehov's propaganda film whitewashing the Israeli siege of and destruction of Jenin.
In August 2008, he co-authored a Wall Street Journal article with Natan Sharansky:
- When one of us [Bassem Eid] worked for Israel's Betselem cataloging Israel's human-rights violations, the international community embraced every report. But when intellectual honesty demanded that he monitor Palestinian human-rights violations according to the same standards, no one was interested. Those reports were dismissed as undermining the Palestinian leaders -- first Arafat and now Mr. Abbas -- who would make peace with Israel.[1]
