The criticism of Israel is grossly unfair, though.

Looks like self-defense to me.

Although the Saudi government has taken some measures to participate in human rights activities, such as allowing a visit by the U.N. Human Rights envoy, it continued to view its interpretation of Islamic law as its "sole source of guidance on human rights," and does not follow international standards on the issue, the report said.

Accordingly, the government punished criminals according to its interpretation of Sharia law with methods considered torture by international standards.

Hmmm, I thought Islam was a peaceful religion and only fanatics use torture and violence to enforce its law.

There may be higher death rates in Israel for obvious reasons, but club them with China and Saudi Arabia?
