Israel/Palestine

(30,109 posts)They have very little to say about thousands of rockets terrorizing innocent civilians.
Nothing about Hamas human shielding.
Nothing about Palestinian media inciting the population to hatred and more 'martyrdom' (translation: suicide attacks, etc).
Nothing about Hamas treatment of gays, women, christians.
They didn't condemn Hamas for the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange that released hundreds of known terrorists. Think about that one. A Human Rights organization has nothing to say about released, unrepentant terrorists who will most likely return to their terrorist ways. Even if some don't, that exchange sets a terrible precedent and only emboldens Hamas to keep up with their terror attacks with impunity. Who cares if some get caught when they can be released within a short time period?
Nor did they condemn a PFLP member named Hani Rosmi Jaber who was convicted for murder in a terror attack.

If you're as concerned for human rights as you say you are, then you'd agree the above is pretty damned bad, right?
