Okay..this must be one of the signs of the apocalypse! This is probably in response to several of their members and supporters pointing out what hypocrites they would be if they didn't come out and say something about this.

I'm very pleasantly surprised to see this report. Innocent civillians - including elderly, women, and children - arbitrarily and indiscriminately killed and maimed by terrorists, should not go without solid international condemnation.
My respect for AI went up a couple of notches after reading this report.

They therefore constitute crimes against humanity under international law. They may also constitute war crimes, depending on the legal characterisation of the hostilities and interpretation of the status of Palestinian armed groups and fighters under international humanitarian law. The most horrible aspect of these murders is that any Israeli civilian victim over the age of 70 is probably a Holocaust survivor. Shame on the world for allowing these people to be subject to yet another genocidal attempt to wipe out the Jews.
Eagerly awaiting the trial of Yasser Arafat and Hanan Ashrawi for crimes against humanity!!!!!

Amnesty International condemns unreservedly direct attacks on civilians as well as indiscriminate attacks, whatever the cause for which the perpetrators are fighting, whatever justification they give for their actions.This is the first time I've heard of this far left outfit condemning any non-western faction. Maybe they do have a few honest folks over there after all!

I suppose this means Amnesty International has finished up at Gitmo.
