If Amnesty, HRW and B'TSELEM represent the state of human rights groups we have a problem, because they all seem to have a strange obsession with Israel, to the detriment of other human rights situations around the world. They have even admitted that they focus on Israel more than other countries, partly becuase they think that "western" countries should be held to different standards than Arab and other countries, but also because Israel is "low hanging fruit", these human rights folks spend their days chilling in Tel Aviv, eating Sabich and falafel completely ignoring kidnappings of girls in the Triangle of Death, just miles away, because fuck, who wants to go there? This is why there are more reporters, NGOs in Israel per capita than ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH.
