Way to wilfully misunderstand the point.
My problem is with Amnesty, not the question of what crimes have occurred in Israel/Gaza over the past year and a bit.
Framing and context is everything here, and Amnesty’s context and framing is evident from page one, line one of its report.
Would anyone like to take a wild guess at what actually happened on 7 October?
To paraphrase Pierre, Amnesty are a Gnat’s pube away from claiming about 6,000 Gazans and 4,000 unguided missiles didn’t cross the border into Israel that day. They may never say the words, but in their pronouncements they sure as heck are aiming to bury the truth.
