Canadian Paper Kicks Amnesty International Rightfully so. This is an organization that I used to give money to, until they got so caught up in the political cause du jour they forgot their mandate. The article rightfully mentions last year's UN Durban conference supposedly aimed at stopping 'racism' but aimed squarely at Israel. The mid-east is almost without exception populated by misogynist, racist, intolerant, repressive dictatorships ... the lone exception being Israel, which may not be perfect but is certainly well above the rest when it comes to human rights. Yet AI singled out Israel ... not Saudi Arabia, where a starving man can have his hand cut off, not Pakistan, where raping his sister is a just punishment for a young man being seen with an older women ... not China, Syria, Zimbabwe, or any of the large list of tyrannical regimes aimed squarely at disabling any dissension or free thought among its citizenry. Just Israel. Well, the Canuck is also complaining that AI is going after government efforts to stop natives from illegally snatching lobsters instead of going after the real criminal states out there. Rightfully so ... AI has expended virtually all of its moral capital and has instead become one of those shrill fringe groups no one listens to any more. Article Here
