1. Email Amnesty
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (11.05.14)
I sent them an email sharply criticizing them. I encourage all of you to do the same. It is easy to find their email from their webpage. Instead of just letting off steam here, also do something---make them read an email from you. In the email, I told them that I will tell everyone I know how biased and inaccurate they are.
2. He sounds like a dumb Dane ..Btw ,todays Danish TV commented
ab   (11.05.14)
Hamas goon driving pickup into a group of people in Jlem as "reaction to Jews attempting to group and stage march on Al Aksa "
3. Strange, only beheadings I know of are by ISIS.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (11.05.14)
Even stranger is that Israel has no death penalty and pals, muslims, arabs, ISIS have the exclusive rights according to their supporters who are just common every day thugs and criminals. BUILDING IS BEAUTIFUL!!
4. I don't see the problem with saying JSIL.
Jacob ,   USA   (11.05.14)
That means they are recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. Israel is a Jewish state. Israel is in the Levant. Therefore, a Jewish state is in the Levant.
5. Moral Responsibility for Murder
Ed ,   USA   (11.05.14)
Tweets like Benedict's encourage terrorist attacks like the one that occurred today. Thus, he bears some measure or responsibility for this murder. He is not an innocent bystander.
6. The UK manager Kristyan Benedict in Amnesty...
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.05.14)
... He really shows his inner twisted soul, and his empty head... According to pictures of this creature, he seems to be an Islamic-cult-follower, and renewing his name after some popes, an insult !! Then, no surprise, his statements are according to the law of the evil cult of islam. Everything, whom or which, that do not obey the Islamic cult, must be demonized and brought to death.
7. IS, Nazis & zionists same pot
American Taxpayer   (11.05.14)
8. EU blames Israel for world problems
Leib ,   No country   (11.05.14)
We are back to the old times like eighty years ago comparing the Jews to ISIS just like the Germans did everything is the fult of the Jews
9. It is a very positive tweet for Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.05.14)
It sounds like he is praising Israel. Since Amnesty Int'l does have anything bad to say about ISIS it means that Israel does everything well.
10. 10-20 years ago I'd say that Europe doesn't deserve punish-
(11.05.14)
ment for the Jews persecuted & murdered on it's soil over the ages. -"They've changed" , I'd venture to say. Today I do hope we get the bloody revenge we DESERVE, in form of Islamic takeover of their ugly "culture"!
11. UK branch v. International secretariat
UR   (11.05.14)
perhaps it should be noted that there are two separate Amnesty entities based in London: one is the UK branch (for whom this anti-Semite works) and the other is the international secretariat, the main headquarters which feeds into the work of all the different AI branches across the world. I'm not too sure how significant the difference in practice: for one thing, I'm sure there are horrors like this guy at the int'l secretariat although they are probably somewhat more adept at papering over their antisemitism, as is so common these days in 'polite' society. Secondly, if Ynet doesn't note the distinction between the two AI entities then it's likely this is a common fudge, which makes the symbolic factor here as bad as if it did in fact emanate from the more authoritative int'l secretariat.
12. Amnesty
Drai ,   Tel Aviv   (11.05.14)
Bullshit !!!
13. #3 incorrect
(11.05.14)
Fatah and Hamas regularly torture and behead each other.
14. Even though Israel's enemies' stated goal is genocide
ayatollah ghilmeini ,   usa   (11.05.14)
this chump blames Israel for defending herself with far less force than any other country would use. Case in point, Egypt declared a state of emergency and destroyed everything within 500M of Gaza to control the infiltration of terrorists into Sinai from Gaza. |Not so much a bleat from Amnesty and others- a more perfect proof of their bias, and it is antisemitic when the Jewish state is selected for different treatment.
15. Keep yelping ;) ,...
split   (11.05.14)
Because Israel rejected the report's findings it doesn't mean they're invalid or Benedict should shut up ,...
16. #10 ,...
split ,   US   (11.05.14)
Mind to mention Jewish 'contribution' to terror and murder enterprise during their reign as leaders and advisors at communism steering wheel? ,...
17. Shameful
Caroline ,   Austria   (11.05.14)
Shame in Amnesty to let their work be tainted by such propaganda . Hard to take anything they say seriously. Amnesty should be embarrassed and ashamed.
18. Amnesty International is a bunch of CRIMINALS !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.05.14)
19. #7, ISIS taxpayer
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.06.14)
