"In the course of doing this story, I felt a bit of déjà vu. I myself come from a small ethnic and religious minority group, and one of the most annoying things that I face is when people assume that everyone from my ethnicity or religious group shares the exact same point of view. We’re not the Borg!

The political press in particular has a habit of stereotyping members of minorities. That’s part of why President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral performance with a range of minorities — from Latinos in the Rio Grande Valley to Arab Americans in Dearborn, Michigan, to South Asians in Edison, New Jersey to African Americans in the Bronx — was so surprising.

For years, we’ve been fed an image of these groups that erases the reality that all human beings are individuals first and foremost."

Ms Tirana Hassan, HRW’s executive director, said that countries like the United States, Germany and Britain could influence Israel’s actions and should do so by ending arms sales.“
