Amnesty is a human rights organisation which cherry picks the countries it chooses to criticise.

First and foremost on their list is Israel, with countries like Iran, Burma, Sudan, China, etc., coming in for very little flack.

Israel’s Defence Ministry’s arrogant retort to charges of war crimes reported today by AMNESTY International:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?
WHO DID THEY SPEAK TO?
WHERE IS THEIR EVIDENCE?

Perhaps someone could inform the Israeli Defence Ministry that Amnesty is an international human rights organization that works to bring to the attention of the world the abuse of human and civil rights. That includes such atrocities as the slaughter of 300 children and 150 women in Gaza earlier this year by the IDF.

Israleis…blah …blah …blah… killers… murderers… Geesh! For every one palestinian that dies because their terrorists hide in neighborhood schools and houses some innocent Israeli is murdered in cold blood. Blood thirsty killers and murderers are the palestinian killers who don’t even care about their own. Then there are the useful idiots that parrot the Hamas propaganda. The Israeli government has shown incredible restraint when faced with this dark onslaught by very bad people against their citizens. No one ever states the Israelis men, women and children that are killed by palestinian terrorists. After all they are only Israelis. No worth at all. The price for terrorist acts must be land that is forever lost. Eventually they won’t have a square inch to stand on. In the mean time the Israelis try and broker a peace deal only to have the forces of darkness break it. What they really want is to destroy the State. It’ll never happen. The Israelis can slag them all if they wanted it and they have not. That could not be said of them. And that is the difference here. So it seems that this Amnesty group is now working for Hamas/Iran…
