olive - you were saying oxn-moron?
I think that Amnesty is , well.........whatever.
However as Amnesty is generally so loaded and bigoted against Israel, to quote them when they lambast the Palestinians, one would think would carry more weight, seeing they are in cahoots with them 99% of the time.
I couldn't give a rats arse what they say, but maybe Gaweb and others who hang on to every word that comes out of Amnesty's mouth, that's another story.
Remember how Amnesty came out against Israel in the Jenin Massacre? The one that never happened? The one where 7,000 Palestinians were killed? Amnesty just couldn't wait, could they?
You can stick Amnesty where it fits. And if there's room, you can squeeze the UN in as well.
