HRW has the principles to not accept blood money. Pity Aziz & Co can’t say the same.
>“Human Rights Watch didn’t call for comedians to boycott the Riyadh Comedy Festival, but simply asked them to express their support for free speech by urging the release of Saudi activists unjustly imprisoned.”
„simply“ Remember Larry David’s fatwa
What if Aziz gives MBS the ole claw while he’s over there? Bet people would feel mighty silly about all that talk on how immoral it was to go over there if he used his powers of deviancy for good like that
That smile is ripe for the clown meme
Sorry, the dry cleaners are closed so they can’t help launder your rep, Aziz.
Not to be a dumbass, but why not take their money and raise awareness with it?
I feel like this is a bit performative on their part. Isn’t the absolute best use of that money to put it towards human rights? What’s going to help human rights more, rejecting a bunch of money so people can see this headline or taking the money and spending it to actually help people?
What kind of “dialog” can you hope to have with a regime that silences critics with a bone saw?
