MSM has been quoting the bigot Omar Shakir that backs jihado-fascist Hamas' "numbers."

Example: Reuters, Oct 27, 2023 (See attachment).
That, after:

Since when is this racist Arab reliable on Israel?

He has been campaigning against that state at least since 2010, yearning for its destruction.
Shakir is a longtime BdS-er and has been using HRW for his campaign even before his publication to promote the 'apartheid slur' via falsehood, factual errors and changing its definition to suit his propaganda -- after he became a 'bigot with a vengeance' for being deported by Israel in 2019 over his activities.

Overview
Omar Shakir [Omar S. Shakir] was deported from Israel in November 2019 for promoting anti-Israel boycotts while serving as the Israel and Palestine Country Director for Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Shakir has defended terrorists, whitewashed violent protests and demonized Israel.

Shakir was the 2011-2012 co-president of Students for Palestinian Equal Rights (SPER), a forerunner to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at Stanford University (Stanford). As an alumnus, Shakir has defended SJP and has been a featured speaker at SJP events.

In 2015, Shakir represented anti-Israel activist Steven Salaita in his lawsuit against the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). In 2014, Salaita was fired by UIUC for posting a series of anti-Israel tweets.

Shakir is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. Shakir promoted and advocated [00:06:21] for divestment bills while a student at Stanford. In 2013, he introduced a BDS resolution to the undergraduate senate at Stanford which failed to get the required two-thirds approval.

As of April 2021, Shakir’s LinkedIn page said he was the Israel and Palestine Country Director for Human Rights Watch (HRW) in New York, NY, since October 2016, and a Fellow for HRW from September 2013 to September 2014. As of April 2021, Shakir’s Twitter account said he was located in Amman, Jordan.

In October 2020, U.S. State Department officials reportedly weighed declaring HRW an anti-Semitic organization due to the group’s “alleged or perceived support for” BDS. On November 19, 2020, while visiting Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. State Department would label BDS as “anti-Semitic” and prohibit any organization that engages in BDS from receiving government funding.

Also as of April 2021, Shakir’s LinkedIn page said he was a Legal Fellow for the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) from September 2014 to September 2016.

As of April 2021, Shakir’s LinkedIn page said he received a J.D. from Stanford University Law School (Stanford) in 2013, a master’s degree in Arab Studies from Georgetown University (Georgetown) in 2010 and a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Affairs from Stanford in 2007.

Media Fail to Ask Tough Questions After Preposterous HRW Claim About Israeli (so-called) “Apartheid”
Emanuel Miller, April 27, 2021
Unfortunately, Human Rights Watch has an ill-deserved gravitas that serves to disguise its biased methodology. ... the term “apartheid” is an apt description.

But that’s not what apartheid means at all. Put simply, apartheid is a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on the grounds of race. Or as the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it...
Shakir’s Personal Anti-Israel Vendetta
It is not the first time that the NGO takes a jab at Israel. The particular researcher who compiled the report, Omar Shakir, was forced to leave Israel in November 2019 after his work visa was not renewed due to his support of the controversial Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Nevertheless, the vast majority of news reports have failed to document either of these important facts.

For over a decade, Shakir has fought a campaign denying Israel’s right to exist and smearing the Jewish state with the kind of barbs more typically heard in the cesspit of online discussion. On various occasions, he has stated that Israel has “effectively turned Gaza into an open-air prison.” Moreover, Shakir was involved in compiling a discriminatory UN database of businesses operating across the 1949 Armistice line, aimed at bolstering BDS campaigns against Israel.

Consequently, the report largely recycled existing materials from known anti-Israel organizations, without engaging in independent investigative work..

The "apartheid" slur
dates back to Oct 1961 (some 6 years before the Six-Day war which led to the "occupation") more here, and here,

Ahmad Shukeiri (who justified the Holocaust - months after WW2 and had testified in his 1969 book that they all cheered and prayed for Hitler) came up with the apartheid comparison and objected to the Eichmann trial.

Shukeiri is more infamous for expressing their genocidal plans when he stated days before the Six-Day war that "none of them will survive."
