Biased NGOs, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have worked to exploit the UNHRC to single out Israel. NGOs keep Israel on the agenda, while abusive regimes are generally ignored.
Prof. Gerald Steinberg reminds us of the abject failure of organizations that claim to promote human rights principles. Ignoring the pleas of victims around the world, they routinely exploit the rhetoric of international law as a weapon in the political war targeting Israel.
Prof. Steinberg analyzes the Israeli government's preparedness for "standard claims made by ideological groups like Amnesty and Oxfam," which "made a huge difference in the second Gaza war."
Amnesty International is continuing to lose credibility as a human rights organization, engaging in highly unprofessional anti-Israel advocacy related to the violence from Gaza, falsely blaming Israel alone for re-igniting the conflict and calling for an arms embargo against Israel.
