Amnesty International has produced another biased report slamming Israel for defending itself against terror. On the other hand, seems that Amnesty feels that shooting thousands of rockets against civilians is not a major violation of human rights, at least not if the victims are Jews.
Amnesty's solution? An
arms embargo against the victims (Israel):
According to Malcolm Smart, Amnesty's Middle East director: "As the major supplier of weapons to Israel, the USA has a particular obligation to stop any supply that contributes to gross violations of the laws of war and of human rights. The Obama administration should immediately suspend US military aid to Israel."
Orwell would have been proud.
Let's rewrite that to adhere a bit better to reality:
"As a major supplier of funding to the Palestinians, the USA has a particular obligation to stop any supply that contributes to gross violations of the laws of war and of human rights [such as launching rockets at civilians, hiding behind human shields, and violating the non-combatant status of hospitals, ambulances, and places of worship by hiding combatants and weapons there, all of which are war crimes]. The Obama administration should immediately suspend US aid to the Palestinians."
And how about:
"As the major supplier of donations to Amnesty International, the USA has a particular obligation to stop any supply that contributes to gross violations of the truth and to bias against human rights victims in favor of their victimizers. The Obama administration and all Americans should immediately suspend all donations and other support to Amnesty International and other similarly biased organizations."
