Israel accuses Amnesty International of anti-Semitism – Politico

An official claimed the organization “lacks moral authority” to call itself a human rights group

Israel has accused Amnesty International of “bias” and “anti-Semitism,” after the organization said all parties in the current Gaza conflict have violated humanitarian law, including by committing war crimes, Politico reported on Thursday.

Earlier the same day, Amnesty International had called for an immediate ceasefire and an independent investigation into “longstanding impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity.” A statement from the organization also described one of the “root causes” of the conflict as “Israel’s system of apartheid imposed on all Palestinians.”

The group’s secretary-general, Agnes Callamard, claimed that “serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes,” had been committed by all parties to the conflict.

In response, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat told Politico that “Amnesty International is an anti-Semitic organization that is biased against Israel.” He further argued that it “lacks moral authority to portray itself as a human rights organization.”

Haiat also reportedly condemned the organization for its alleged silence in the wake of the October 7 attack on Israel by militant group Hamas, in which hundreds were killed and more than 200 kidnapped. According to the spokesman, Amnesty International is “a propaganda organization working for Hamas terrorists.”

Israeli officials have reported 1,405 casualties since the conflict escalated. The Health Ministry in Gaza has estimated the Palestinian death toll to be 7,434, including more than 3,000 children.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Tuesday that the Hamas attack “did not happen in a vacuum,” and that the Palestinian people “have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation” while their hopes for a political solution to their plight “have been vanishing.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen responded by accusing Guterres of showing “compassion” for terrorists and murderers, and called on him to resign.

Jamaal Bowman Says He Struck a Deal with Democrat DC Attorney General to Have Fire Alarm Charges Expunged From His Record

He reported to the police station on Thursday to be booked, fingerprinted, and have his mugshot taken.

Later Thursday Jamaal Bowman said he struck a deal with Democrat DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb to have the fire alarm charges expunged from his record once he pays a measly fine. He will not be held in the DC Gulag like dozens of Trump supporters for their actions at the January 6, 2021 protests, many who did much less than this.

Oversight Chair Comer Plays Hardball, Demands Joe Biden Provide Evidence to Back Up Claim $200,000 Check From Jim Biden Was ‘Loan Repayment’

The House Oversight Committee has no IRS records or loan documents confirming the $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 was a ‘loan repayment.’

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is now demanding IRS records and applicable loan documents proving Joe Biden loaned his brother James money.

The Bidens often structure their income as ‘loans’ to avoid paying taxes. We saw this with a $5 million wire described as an ‘interest-free loan’ (a way for Hunter to avoid paying taxes) from a Chinese firm. The Bidens then shuffle the dirty money around to each other as ‘loan repayments.’ This is classic tax evasion, money laundering, and influence-peddling.

Last Friday, Comer uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden.

“Whether it was a loan or not, James Biden’s March 1, 2018, check to Joe Biden demonstrates one way he personally benefited from his family’s shady influence peddling of his name and their access to him. Even if the transaction in question was part of a loan agreement, we are troubled that Joe Biden’s ability to recoup funds depended on his brother’s cashing-in on the Biden brand,” Comer said.

Kamala Harris Calls for Mass Gun Confiscation

Kamala Harris is calling for the United States to undergo the same type of mass disarming that Australia did in the 1990s, leaving that nation defenseless against an ever-growing federal government linked to Communist China.

“Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in this country,” Harris said. “And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way. As our friends in Australia have demonstrated,” she went on, endorsing the banning and confiscation of American firearms.

“In Australia, you had one mass shooting fifty years ago and they said ‘Nope, we’re not doing that anymore,’” Obama said, grossly overestimating how long ago the events in Australia actually took place.
