too late, too little. go sit in gaza and await our response.

Than a bag of hot air that rises, spews and leaves the bloody arena when the tempers have ceased flaring. What are they good for? Absolutely NOTHING.

What a shocker!

Now get lost.

"Human rights group denounces 'deliberate attack on Israeli civilians as a gross abuse of international law,' but urges Israel to refrain from targeting civilians in Gaza as a response" ....Isreal does not target civilians they target the terrorist thats next to the human shield AKA Civilians get it !!!

Typical, full of words that mean nothing, action is totally lacking when there is any likelyhood of undermining their funding. Perhaps they should reveal their sources of funding?

Amnesty International is saying that the Gazan share no responsibility for the murders of these Jews at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva. Why are the green Hamas flags flying over their mourning tent then?

Amnesty International needs to recognize their own role as enablers of Hamas rather than just issuing meaningless statements condemning the action. It also violates their own rules, which supposedly bar the organization from defednant people who advocate violence.

The only reason they finally said anything, is to tell Israel not to retaliate.. My suggestion to them is save your hypocritical statements . Israel will defend their citizens

amnesty, like all the other leftist ngos, cannot possibly lay the blame where it belongs, on the arabs. it is the arab terrorists who deliberately murder israeli civilians, but amnesty finds it necessary to stress that israel is no better, even though that is a boldfaced lie, which deliberately delegitimizes israel's right of self-defence. as for the red herring of "collective punishment", nobody seems to have noticed the wild celebrations in the streets of gaza over their "great success" in murdering 8 jewish teenagers. or tried to understand that if the arabs stop the terrorism, there will be no israeli retaliations. for amnesty and the rest of the left-wingers, it is vital not to miss an opportunity to blame israel. for everything.

How come the civilized world bears the existence of this self-appointed authroity on human rights, who never dare really look into the places where poeple live cattle - N. Korea, Cuba, etc.? Israel is a comfy place for them to do their work, and also they find a bunch iditotic sympathizers in Israel, whoc are ready to throw mud at their own country.

I never expected AI to speak AGAINST the terrorstinians. I am not surprised, however, over their call for restraint by Israel.

They "condemn" but demand that Israel not respond

Amnesty has no moral standing and should refrain from speaking. Equating "innocents" who get harmed because they stand around watching their elected government lob rockets at an adjacent sovereign nation with students sitting in their school or library is absurd. Israel doesn't target "civilians". Amnesty has again shown its simpleton's surrenduring view of the world.

They tried, but they just could not manage to criticize Palestinian action without reference to Israeli reaction or alleged reasons. Shame on Amnesty again. The statement should have ended after they concluded that the act was one of gross violation of human rights. End of story. The continuation into the need for Israel not to retaliate makes clear the intent of the statement. The intent was clearly to set the stage for a critique of Israel for its actions as a result. Must have been hard for Amnesty to criticize Palestinians. I assume its cold in Hell right now.

The real mesaage that AI is sending to Israel is that we love you when you are the victim. However, Israel does not have the right to defend itself. Just keep on dying and we will continue to love you. According to Amnesty International, every possible Israeli defensive response is a violation of international law because civilians from Gaza may be hurt. So they say to Israel, "just take it."

Jewish law comes first! Revenge is forthcoming and the whole arab population will suffer!

AI condemns but justifies.

both are top rights violators on earth!

" . . Palestinian civilians, who bear no responsibility for yesterday's attack . . ." So who put these thugs in power? THE PEOLPLE.

The hypocrisy of the left is astounding. They shout, "End the occupation now!" but when Israel did end the occupation of Gaza, they accused Israel of unilateralism. They cry out against racism, but they treat the Palestinians with a paternalistic racism that considers them so primitive they cannot be held responsible for what they do. After all, I have been told, you can't expect the Palestinians to change, they grew up with an anti-Israel narrative. Israelis are expected to change. Israelis who have lived for years under the threat of Arab aggression and Palestinian terrorism are expected to change and to forgive and to apologize. But Palestinians are not expected to change. They are not expected to stop broadcasting children's TV programs that fill their children's minds with racist hatred. No wonder the Palestinians keep calling themselves victims.

this organization is incredible: two lines to condemn the brutal and criminal homicidal attack by Palestinians terrorists (not to mention the people in Gaza dancing in the streets for the JOY...) and twenty lines to urge Israel NOT TO RETALIATE. They have NO CREDIBILITY NOT MORAL AUTHORITY anymore.

There's an old saying "what's seldom is wonderful" and that's exactly how I feel about the Amnesty condamnation of the attacks. Maybe if groups like them hadn't been so biased against Israel in the past then the terrorists wouldn't be under the impression that they had support from all over the world. All of these groups and organizations, Amnesty and UN included, should be examining their consciences.
