there were much more civilian casualities in the much shorter georgian war than in lebanon where israel did everything not to harm civilians even though terrorists used them as human shields

And what does IA want? That the Israelis let the terrorists kill them? Why don't they protests the qassams and the many Israelis the terrorists have murdered?

The Jews were terrorized for hundreds of years by christians, muslims etc and you. I believe that the terrorists are the occupiers. Insolence.

If you repeat a lie enough times somebody will believe the lie. Amnesty get the expences and living from the UN and EU who require these lies,falsehoods,untruths and twisted facts to balance the books.

As a human rights organisation Amnesty concentrates on the most evil and brutal abusers and without a doubt israel comes close to the top of any list. given its wilful addiction to oppression, occupation and human rights violations. Given israels disdain for countless U.N. resolutions,is it any wonder that organisations like amnesty watch you closely ? You have to bear witness to evil. If you look away you are complicit.

Amnesty and other leftist just do not consider Georgians, Russians or other non-western countries as "responsible" people. In their eyes they are just "children" who don't know what they are doing. This arrogant position leaves Israel as the only target for their hatred.

with your very strong yet very ignorant opinion it very obvious you wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on your arse. don't worry thought cause one day it will bite you!

Israel or the Jews won't retaliate against AI members or countrymen, unlike our opponents. Ironically, the folks at AI act very much like children - never really taking genuine responsibility for anything, and justifying their inertia by barking at parked cars.

Jerome, i suspect Sean has been bitten in the arse by the truth this past 30 years at least,we were occupied. however, i also suspect he has just come from the Dungloe bar or somesuch. there is a need for orginisations like amniesty. but nations like Israel are a buffer for the civilised world against what would overwhelm a semblance of free speech should the mullahs have their way. if Derry ever becomes an islamist theoracy you'll think the brits were a bunch of pussycats.iv been there. Israel isnt perfect, no more than Ireland is, but id rather have the right to talk about it here.

Tomek, the point of this article is the selected "attention" paid to Israel by AA. Drawing on your analogy, it's more like constantly accusing you of stealing an apple (whether you did it or not) while repeatedly ignoring the fact that Johnny always helps himself to someone else's basketfuls.

Sean, you are as always right on one thing: If I look away, I am complicit. So I won't ignore you this time. If AI concentrates on the most evil and brutal abusers (which it certainly should!), then where is the cannonade of alarming reports about the tragedy of Darfur, female genital mutilation, honor killings of Moslem women (including in Europe and US), turning children into suicide bombers, etc? Why is it that all these issues combined receive significantly less attention than Israel? And another somewhat unrelated question... I though it was work that would set me free... I must have been reading over the wrong gates. In your expectedly vitriolic response to me, would you please tell me what you think of these guys (www.saveachildsheart.org) and provide me with an organization in the Moslem world that reciprocates the same way toward israel.

The collaborations between the IRA and PLO are not quickly forgotten.

good article- and while i agree 100% it is unjust to compare Israel with all the terrorist occupied countries, in all fairness... I checked Amnesties site- there are roughly 3 amnesty newsflashes about Israel and at least 40 or 50 about other countries- so this article in Ynet is not really unbiased, is it? there is hardly one country on earth that is not singled out for something or other by AI- you are in good company- .

Thank you for the insight. This article is a real eye opening.

really good article.. all i can say is, its about time they were called out on this.. unfortunately they aren't the only organisation with said vendetta.. the same microsope applied to Israel (and other sovereign nations) should also apply for organisations with political/public sway
