AMNESTY INT'L BLASTS P.A., HAMAS

Amnesty Blasts Fatah, Hamas Over Civilian Deaths in Gaza Clashes (Amnesty International)

A NICE STEP. TOO BAD THE ONLY CIVILIAN DEATHS THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT ARE PALESTINIANS KILLED BY OTHER PALESTINIANS AND NOT ISRAELIS KILLED OR INJURED BY PALESTINIAN ROCKET FIRE FROM GAZA.

Amnesty International: Terrorists Fail to Respect Human Rights (LGF)
No flying pig for this one, but Amnesty International can apparently no longer ignore what’s going on in the areas controlled by the twin terrorist governments of Fatah and Hamas: Amnesty criticises Hamas, Fatah over rights abuses.

In a 57-page report, Amnesty International noted that the June civil war in Gaza in which some 160 people were killed had led to the creation, effectively, of separate Palestinian administrations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank where political opponents have routinely been subject to abuse.

“Arbitrary detentions and torture or other ill treatment of detainees by Hamas forces are now widespread and the initial improvements in the security situation which followed Hamas’ takeover are fast being eroded,” the London-based group said.

Amnesty further criticised Hamas for entrusting its gunmen, who were trained to fight Israel and led the bloody rout of Fatah forces from Gaza, with law-enforcement duties.

“It appears clear that perpetrators of human rights abuses continue to enjoy impunity,” the group said.

Imagine that. Terrorists don’t respect human rights. What a world.

Meanwhile, we may have our line of the day, from a Fatah terrorist, about his cousins in Gaza:

“There is a huge difference between an outlawed force committing human rights violations and legitimate security forces empowered by law,” said Mahmoud al-Habbash, Palestinian minister for social affairs.

“Mistakes may happen but we are doing our best.”
