YNet: Amnesty's obsession with Israel - 'Even in a month when war raged in Georgia, Amnesty International continued to focus on the Gaza Strip, persistently blaming Israel for ongoing Palestinian hardship. Amnesty, in fact, issued harsher condemnations of Israel than of any party to the Georgian conflict. With a ceasefire holding between Israel and Hamas, resulting in a period of calm, Amnesty stubbornly continued to spew hollow publications repeating outdated allegations. Moreover, Amnesty took pride in its relentless criticism of Israel, while the rest of the world rightly concerned itself with the unfolding crisis in Georgia. In a press release, the organization boasted: "With the ceasefire holding, the suffering in Gaza has fallen off the international news agenda. However, Amnesty International members continue to campaign." This "explanation" merely highlights Amnesty's obsession with Israel, regardless of the reality on the ground...'
The global PR campaign, wich began in 1948, has been so successful, that many think it's true.
The Arab rulers caused, and continue to perpetrate, the refugee crisis. It is their international trump card against Israel.
Amnesty is one of the worst groups, promoting the myth.
I'd like to mandate "big Lies" by David Meir-Levi, to all of them.
