Ellen, just because you say it doesn't mean that it is true. In fact, the Amnesty International organization is reputable to people with your point of view but is not a reputable organization to those of us who value the truth and not slanted research. Oh, how extensive is AI's research when they constantly blame Israel while refusing to call the deliberate shooting of a six week Jewish baby an act of terrorism. How much research did they do while investigating the slaughter of more than two dozen Jews having a seder at Passover? Didn't these elderly Jews deserve amnesty from being murdered? How much research have they done in regards to the horrendous nazi-like propaganda that the PA teaches in its schools? Have they ever denounced the fanatical cult of child sacrifice practiced by the Palestinians? Do they feel that any act of depravity against Jews is justified? Of course they do because they always place the ultimate blame on Israel, no matter who is at fault. You see Ellen, those issues are not considered to be worthy of "extensive research" by this "reputable" organization because they have made up their minds before doing any research.

Did she take her diploma in human rights in Bangaladesh ? I guess it's THE place to do it.

I don't think israel is a good Place to learn or talk about human rights either....

Is that because your compatriots from Nazareth live a life of totally unfettered freedom, with a robust and vibrant economy, with judges, councillors, police chiefs and religious leaders, all free to do as they please within the framework of the law. Try something different from stupid rhetoric. Ellen laps it up, I know the truth.

My compatriots from nazareth are your compatriots as well! But My compatriots in the West Bank and gaza are getting terrorized night and day by the israeli army! And this article prooves it! I am not living in Nazareth, I AM LIVING IN BETHLEHEM, so stop talking nonsense...u should know very well that nazareth and bethlehem are two different worlds!

In my # 64 I was responding to your # 63 that Israel is not a good place to study human rights. I pointed out the situation, as we both know it in Nazareth, israel. But as usual, you being a Palestinian twisted and turned it around. Bethlehem could be exactly the same as Nazareth, if you wanted it so. But you want Bethlehem to be Palestine, good luck to you Ramzi. A man, a Nation, can only reap as they sow, no more , no less. Please be a man of honor Ramzi and admit that what I said in my # 64 is correct and not false, you know it is correct. First admit this and then we can talk about Bethlehem. Admit it Ramzi and give me a reason to show you respect and honor you. Are you man enough to admit this Ramzi ? All the others here want to see your answer, especially Ellen. Tell Ellen that all the Arabs in Nazareth live in harmony and freedom and are not subjugated in any way, not restricted in any way, not discriminated against in any way, not treated disrespectfully in any way. Please Ramzi, stand and be counted and do not avoid or change the subject.

Arab israelis Don't have all the RIGHTS a Jewish israeli have! On this NEWS PAPER, there are always articles talking about how Arab israelis are not cared about by the government, are treated badly at airports and For your information : ARABS are not allowed to work as security officers in israels! what do you call this? Equality ? IT IS FORMALLY AGREED UPON IN THE AIRPOrT AUTHORITY, ARABS CANT WORK THERE! Now this is just a symptom, if it happens at the airport authority, it can happen everywhere! Not mentioning the disgusting situation at some arab villages in the north of israel! Yes...this is called Discrimination....Sharon talked about it, olmert talked about it too! And arab israelis never stopped talking about it! ....anyways....The situation is much more complicated! we are not a bunch of outlawed people who want to create chaos whatsoever! ALL THAT WE WANT IS TO LIVE NORMALLY! we are cought between israel and its war on terror! I dont want any Cm of 1948 israel! I want negotiations on equal grounds where we all agree on things , and where nobody dictates ANYTHING! I dont want to be under israeli jurisdiction! I WANT PALESTINE TO BE PALESTINIAN! Thats all, its a Dream that you will never be able to FIGHT! stop seeing the devil everywhere, JUST LIKE YOU, i want freedom, liberty, prosperity and security and a FUTURE! Without harming anybody if possible! Is that TOO MUCH to ask for ?

Bhayat Ramzi, anta akbar. This time I agree with almost everything you said. The airport is the only exception. It has to be this way. no choice, it's your fault. I ask you again to be a man and state here that Nazareth is an Arab town in Israel where they live in complete freedom and enjoy all that democracy embraces. Please do that for me and we can proceed. Please be a man Ramzi and admit it. I know Nazareth like the back of my hand and so many free people I know there, they have a good life. I doubt if even one would go to Bethlehem in Palestine.

I will admit that they live well if you admit that they dont totally have equal rights! I personally dont identify with Arab israelis! To me they are israelis! I dont make a difference between arab, or jewish israeli! Thats why i prefer not to talk about something that is not on my agenda! But believe me yakov, When i say that we want peace, its the same peace that you want! We dont want anything else and thats a majority, a silent tired exhausted majority, but its there! Hamas won the elections because these elections were not significant! people didnt vote to Hamas thinking about israel, people voted thinking about other things! They voted having in mind corruptiong, salaries....and now everyone is seeing that Hamas is not a solution, because not only we are not advancing ( and even Regressing) on Social grounds...but we will not advance on political grounds either!! I never saw any solution in Hamas! I am totally in the opposition! and we are a majority now, if Palestinian elections are held anytime soon, The result is clear in the Streets! As for nazareth, i know Nazareth very well too! I know all of this land VERY WELL! From The North to the South! And believe me, The Palestinian territories are already another COUNTRY....its not the same and it cant be compared, because if you see Ramallah for example, Its almost like nazareth! People are hungry for peace and prosperity and i believe that the only solution is negotiation on SOCIAL GROUNDS without olmert saying " We will decide what your country will look like" No! Nobody decides, WE DECIDE ALL TOGETHER because its something that is harming all of us! What we all need is Moderation and respect instead on Envy hate and dispair! I personally am ready to hold any type of constructive dialog with my fellow israelis ! We have to work together so that we stop being enemies.....Meanwhile, till further serious negotiations , we are enemies! WE ALMOST had a solution ten years ago but remember who closed the road? Netanyahoo, Remember who made hamas what it is now ? Netanyahoo! He liberated Yassin, he made everyone talk about meshal and he politically forced Arafat to free all the outlawed hamas members! admit this At least! LIKUD has a great deal of guilt in this story! but Alas the past is far away behind us, NOW its the future that we have to see, Together if possible ! We can continue the discussion by Email if you want...

any population is akin to living alongside people with criminal or murderous intents. It is always easy for AI to sit around with their hands folded and criticize. I was wondering how many non-muslim members of AI actually have this experience, of living amongst muslims.

A really great letter, Phil. It says it all. Please email me a copy. It's difficult for me to print it out on my computer.

Read #'s 4&5 and all concerning Amnesty intr,You seem to be lacking a "BIT" of info regarding the true image of Amnesty int.As the above has said,do not the Muslim woman,have their rights,NOT to be stoned to death,murdered,at will by their brothers and husbands ???Because they wish to live freely??I think you should look at your own history first,before you critisize,others,Unless you are your self a muslim,extremist??

Has Amnesty,EVER critisized the Pals for the murder of innocent Israeli citizens??Have they ever critisized the Pal extremists,for putting the Pals in the position they are in now?Did they condem the Hamas for this outrages,act of defience,all along the Pals knew the consequinces of this act,and did Amnesty condem the murder of the young boy ,murdered in cold blood,this week..???,Micha you are quick to love this groupe,who are condeming your people,on a 20-80% ratio

Amnesty International condemns Israel but mentions nothing about the thousand rockets targeted into southern Israel. Why? Reading about this human rights group's bias, I think the name should be changed to Islamnesty International.

It must a problem of all settlers.

if israel is a terroist shouldnt amnesty members start dissapearing and another thing un peacekeepers amnesty intl what have they solved in the middle east nothing there both a feel good about youself organization blind to truth and reality

WorldNetDaily.com Crackdown on Christians could go nationwide Fears raised that Islamic law will expand under new president May 5, 2007 Christians in Nigeria, who make up about half the population, are expressing fears Islamic law already being enforced in northern states will expand nationwide with the inauguration this month of a new "devout Muslim" president, according to a report from the Voice of the Martyrs... As a result, Christians have lost basic rights such as having a location to meet and meeting there, officials have confirmed. As WND has reported, Muslim rioters in Nigeria in 2006 were incensed over cartoons of Muhammad published in Denmark, and more than 130 Christians in the Nigerian cities of Maiduguri and Onitsha were slaughtered. The reports documented six children burned to ashes in front of their father, VOM said. WND also has reported nearly 1,000 homes of Christians and many churches have been destroyed in those regions, and documentation of Islamic law is everywhere. "If you go around villages, you will see people missing one hand or one foot," explained Rev. Obiora Ike. "Do you think that's the result of an illness? That is the result of sharia law." More than 10,000 Christians have been martyred in the region since the Islamic law was imposed in the region in 1999... "There is persecution of converts from Islam to Christianity, destruction of churches, discrimination against Christians and denial of admission of Christian students in public schools, to name a few," he said. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55544
