Amnesty Iternational Condemns Israel For Palestinian Rocket That Falls Short And Hit Civilian Building In Gaza
What next? Will they be blaming rape victims for going out with provocative clothing, too?
For anyone actually thinking that Amnesty International is an impartial or non-partisan group, stories like this one that will disabuse the public of such a belief.
Yesterday, as ClashDaily reported, Israel initiated a strike killing Baha Abu Al Ata, the head of Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza.
Islamic Jihad has affiliations to the Muslim Brotherhood. So these are not exactly the kind of guys you call on to feed your fish when you go away on vacation.
In response to Israel cutting the head off the snake, so to speak, Israel found itself on the receiving end of 200+ rocket attacks raining down on its population centers.
What was Amnesty International’s response to that exchange of one targeted strike against a terrorist leader planning an attack in Israel compared to 200 rockets raining down on Israel’s cities?
Amnesty International looked to blame Israel for the deaths of people in Gaza.
Reports that five Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israeli airstrikes today are deeply worrying. The ensuing escalation in violence between Israel and Palestinian armed groups raises fears of a rise in civilian bloodshed. We are closely monitoring the situation.

‘Civilian’ deaths, you say?

Oof. Doesn’t look very ‘civilian-y’.

Actually none of these three look very ‘civilian-y. What are the odds?
One side fires hundreds of inaccurate missiles at civilian concentrations. And the other side, in response, hits only rocket launchers with accurate missiles and had to eliminate 7 terrorists just before they launched another missile.
And guess which side Amnesty condemn?

Well, they at least got Israel’s culpability of this right, didn’t they?
Actually, no. These dopes made the mistake of not only accidentally self-detonating but doing so in front of witnesses.
Israel did not strike this building. A rocket misfired from Gaza.

In effect, this rocket that blew at least THREE jihadis to bits was intended to do exactly that same thing to Jewish civilians.
The GOAL of firing this particular rocket was the possible death or maiming of Jewish civilians.
Where is Amnesty International’s concern for civilians endangered by this very same rocket when they are on the other side of the border? There isn’t any.
They have taken sides in this conflict. One side can do no wrong. And the other will invariably be the villain in the story.
