Amnesty International has become the kind of organization that would defend a group like CA. I mention this because some on this forum quote AI reports about the Arab-Israeli conflict as if AI has not become politicized over the years and all of its reports are the truth from on high. Here is a URL that points to a collection of about two dozen artiles relating to AI support of radical Islamist groups.


www.human-rights-for-all.org/#pagination... 


The articles relate to AI suspending a senior official who headed its unit on gender discrimination for expressing an opinion detrimental to AI's support for radical Islamists. One article, which deals with this issue in the context of what AI was, before being politicized, can be found at:


www.slate.com/id/2244802/ 


I think that the next time someone assumes that because AI reports something that it must remain unquestionable, I will be thinking about these articles.

Hi, all —


Several posts to this thread have been removed as off-topic.  Let's remain on the topic of the causes of and responsibility for life conditions in Gaza ... or just let the thread wind down on its own if there is nothing more to say on topic.


Thanks!
