3. I think you got it wrong...
The usual line is that AI is soooo anti-Israel. Yet those same voices go silent when it's shown that AI is unbiased and criticises both sides in the conflict, or even worse maybe will start bitching that AI used the word 'condemn' only 14 times when talking about suicide-bombings, but dared to use it 15 times when talking about the killing of children by the IDF...

Personally I find anyone who claims AI is a right or left-wing biased source to be getting a tad desperate in their attempts to smear the organisation. Wouldn't you agree?

Violet...

5. Three things:
1) You have no concept of sarcasm.
2) To answer your question, no.
3) What does your above post have anything to do with my post on AI's report on the gross human rights violations of the PA?

4. Eh?

Funny op-ed or news article. :shrug:

Even stranger: it seems that some in this thread are presuming that most people in here who comment on AI pieces haven't already read this. :shrug:
