Why Amnesty International singles out Israel for its crackdown on critics | DW News

Amnesty International has said the world is seeing a near breakdown of international law. It cites multiple conflicts and the rise of artificial intelligence as the main threats. The annual report on human rights singles out Israel and its allies. In the weeks following Hamas's terror attack on October 7 last year, Israeli authorities cracked down on protests criticizing the Israeli military response. Palestinian citizens were arrested for participating in protests or posting on social media. DW Special Correspondent Amien Essif met up with human rights lawyer Ahmad Khalefa who was himself arrested at a protest and charged with "incitement to terrorism."

The rules based order after 1948? The Soviet Union, nor the US haven't been punished for their violations either. The nations who created the rules don't have to uphold them since they are the winners of WW2 and it's aftermath.

Israel has _not_ been "singled out" at all, singled out implies that they are being unfairly targeted, which is not the case. Amnesty International is only holding them (and their allies) to the same standard that everyone else is.

Finally, something very comprehensive relating to this topic.

[satyagun]

Wonder what this Amnesty International is doing to get the innocent hostages released?

[PerceivedREALITY]

Everyone must condemn Israeli war crimes.

I thought you needed to know the definition of words before going on the news, guess this lady didn't get the memo.

[robertcampomizzi]

2:05 so now we're punishing people/countries for "allegations" that haven't been proven? What consequences should have been handed down? For ? On which basis?

Israel doesn't violate those rights out of disrespect for them, but out of lack of alternative ways to fight an enemy who isn't concerned with human rights, including of it's own citizens. Israel could clearly do better protecting civilians while fighting Hamas, but I doubt it's much better..
