Amnesty Interbullah

All during the so-called Intifada, we sat back and read in
disbelief the pronouncements of scandolously named "human rights
advocates" as they ignored blatant crimes against humanity in
the form of homocide bombers that murdered hundreds of
Israeli civilians, choosing instead to focus on fictional human rights
"abuses" of Israeli soldiers trying to protect its country's
civilians.

These organizations haven't gotten better -- only
more blatant.

Left-wing gangs masquerade as "objective observers."
These organizations are, in truth, apologists for jihadist terrorism.

Further, they are enablers of world-wide Jew hatred and the genocidal plans
that Islamic/Arab groups such as Hamas, Hizbullah and the State of Iran
have gleefuly proclaimed.

The liberal media gives these radical, Anti Israel groups a great deal of
column inches, none of it critical, and as Seraphic Friend David Paulin,
a fine journalist who knows the MSM inside out pointed out to me,
this journalistic coverage gives groups such as Amnesty International
a "bully pulpit from which to set forth their radical left wing views."

The war in Lebanon has allowed Amnesty Intl. to lose whatever
credibility still clings to it. Professor Alan Dershowitz
takes them on -- and demolishes them.

God protect us from human rights advocates.

**********

"The idea that a country at war can't attack the enemy's
resupply routes (at least until it has direct evidence that
there is a particular military shipment arriving) has
nothing to do with human rights or war crimes, and a lot to
do with a pacifist attitude that seeks to make war,
regardless of the justification for it or the restraint in
prosecuting it [at least if it's a Western country doing
it], an international "crime."

"In other words, if attacking the civilian infrastructure is
a war crime, then modern warfare is entirely impermissible,
and terrorists have a free hand in attacking democracies and
hiding from retaliation among civilians. Terrorists become
de facto immune from any consequences for their atrocities.

"The more troubling aspect of Amnesty's report is their
inattention to Hizbullah. If Israel is guilty of war crimes
for targeting civilian infrastructure, imagine how much
greater is Hizbullah's moral responsibility for targeting
civilians!

"But Amnesty shows little interest in condemning
the terrorist organization that started the conflict,
indiscriminately killed both Israeli civilians (directly)
and Lebanese civilians (by using them as human shields), and
has announced its intention to kill Jews worldwide (already
having started by blowing up the Jewish Community Center in
Argentina.)

"Apparently Amnesty has no qualms about Hizbullah
six-year war of attrition against Israel following Israel's
complete withdrawal from Southern Lebanon.

"As has been widely reported, even al-Jazeera expressed
surprise at the imbalance in the Amnesty report:"

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
