How can anyone have a problem with Amnesty International….what do they do that’s wrong?

Have you ever read any of their reports?
Out of interest, why the boycott of German products?
Read your recent history – you only need to go back 70 years!!!

How anyone can have a problem with Amnesty is beyond me, Paul.

Some of the work they do is highly commendable, I am not denying that.
No organisation is perfect or beyond reproach and I find some of their reports objectionable.
When organisations or people take the moral high ground it rings alarm bells in my book.
Sixty four years ago. Man with moustache found dead in bunker. I admire your determination but whichever part of Hades the little monster is currently residing in, I’m not sure that a boycott of frankfurters is particularly going to hurt him.
On the Amnesty thing – which reports of theirs have you found objectionable? And surely taking the moral high ground is precisely what is called for when campaigning against torture/illegal detention and so on?

That is not the point – I don’t particularly care if my boycott hurts anyone or not, that is irrelevant – it is a matter of taking a position.
Fair enough. I was just curious about the reasoning as I didn’t realise there were still people doing that.
I refused to buy French Golden Delicious apples when they were doing their nuclear testing in the South Pacific and wrote to Asda explaining why I was doing so…..
I, for example, will not have any German products in my house.
That’s me barred, then…

I would boycott Islamist technology, Islamist fruit and veg, Islamist services, Islamist manufacturing
…but where the fck is it?
Second biggest export from saudi arabia is
—– Second hand goods…(a fact)
Israel produces stuff that can be boycotted. The arabian world drills holes in the ground and little else.
Thats a big part of the probelm IMO
40 years of leadership by a corrupt billionaire warlord who was kicked out of almost every Arab country he lived in, that leadership passed on to a gang of neo Nazi thugs is the real big picture tragedy for the Palestinian people imo.
Until they collectively as a people get their act together (all 11 million of them) they haven’t a hope.
Precisely
i wonder if any of the anti…..lets just say Israel for now…. obsessives on here ever considered boycotting Chinese goods after the …"poll tax riot" in Tiannamenn sq?
And given that Israel is a world medicine and bio technology, i trust that they remember to question any life saving drugs that they might require sometime in the future

.. I’m not anti Isreali/Jew but I do have a problem with war criminals or armed thugs that target civilians like, Isrealis, Serbs, Croats, Arabs, Russians or whatever.
There needs to be justice for all people regardless of where they sit in the world food chain.
The Russians make the world’s best prostitutes, that doesn’t give them the right to murder everybody in the back of beyond and be without criticism. Does it?
Quite rightly so Jeremy, or should I say JERMENY.
Once is enough.
