Editorial: The Deceit of Amnesty International
['Wjw Editorial Board', 'Please Enter Your Name Here']
Washington Jewish Week
Amnesty International likes to cast itself as the gold standard of human rights, the sober voice of conscience above politics.
In short, Amnesty International decided that telling the truth about murdered Israelis was optional.
Amnesty International must be treated for what it has become: a political actor, not a neutral arbiter.
And the broader human rights community must make room for new institutions that still believe in the universality Amnesty International has abandoned.
Amnesty International was once a beacon, founded on the radical belief that truth itself was a weapon against tyranny.
