<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn the face of it, you couldn’t ask for more. However, it’s a sham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cast your mind back to 2015. At the Amnesty International UK’s Annual General Meeting that year, there were 17 resolutions up for adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 16 that were passed covered a range of international human rights issues and internal organizational matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The single resolution that was rejected was the one to “Campaign against anti-Semitism in the UK” and lobby the UK Government on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As reported by NGO Monitor here<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the motion, neither AIUK nor the [Amnesty] International Secretariat have undertaken research or campaigning work specifically on anti-Semitism in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n And<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, an Amnesty-UK official offered a misleading technical justification, claiming that \u201cour membership decided not to pass this resolution calling for a campaign with a single focus.\u201d In fact, AIUK has initiated \u201csingle focus\u201d campaigns frequently in the past, for instance, approving \u201coverwhelmingly\u201d a 2010 resolution on Sinti and Roma Communities, and stating: \u201cWithin the last year widespread discrimination and violence against Sinti and Roma communities has intensified in a number of European countries, which Amnesty International has published within respective country reports.\u201d AIUK\u2019s silence on antisemitism stands in sharp contrast.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n There was an attempt on X to explain their stance<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We condemn all forms of hate crime and discrimination. Unfortunately we can’t campaign on everything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n They do campaign about lots of issues, but not about antisemitism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even Wikipedia, no friend to the Jews, has material about Amnesty’s bigotry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agnes Callamard has been the Secretary General of Amnesty International since 2021. Wikipedia – perhaps unsurprisingly – doesn’t find space for mention of her blind spot towards the Jews. For example, when British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah\u00a0was released<\/a>, this was her post on X and a sample of the unanswered criticism it triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, she celebrated the release of a man who called for Jews to be killed. For the complete extent of Alaa’s bigotry, he also called for the death of homosexuals and “whites”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty more examples of Callamard’s bigotry and bias. Grokipedia has some material here<\/a>. But these are truly the tip of the iceberg. Given her position, there’s little likelihood of Amnesty’s stance changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, for Amnesty, Jews don’t count. That new post about the incident in Golders Green is a sham. Don’t trust Amnesty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once upon a time, Amnesty was a real human-rights organization. Not any more. For many years, perhaps decades, it has been a front for bigotry directed at Israel, Israelis, and Jews. For those outside the battlefield, Amnesty still retains its … Continue reading \n
