Chairman of the Finnish Amnesty International Calls Israel a “scum state”
Dershowitz, NGO Monitor: Probe Amnesty’s Israel biases
By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL
BERLIN – A group of prominent political, academic and Middle East commentators from the international board of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor called on Monday for an “independent evaluation of biases in Amnesty’s activities and publications, particularly related to Israel.”
The head of Amnesty International’s Finnish branch, Frank Johansson, sparked outrage last week when he termed Israel a “scum state” on his blog, a statement he has since removed following The Jerusalem Post’s disclosure of his anti-Israel remarks. Read More
The story the Tundra Tabloids broke to the English speaking world (h/t: Vasarahammer) is still continuing to boil on the surface, with the latest mention coming from the J’lem Post concerning the joint statement by Alan Dershowitz and NGO Monitor demanding a probe of Amnesty International’s anti-Israel bias. It’s high time that it happened. KGS

What would the scumbag chairman of Finnish amnesty do if he ever had an illness in which only Israeli medicine can treat or cure?
He’d take the medicine and then stab Israel in the back.
Laura, don’t look now, this jerk is already sick. Any person making a statement like that is sick in the head.
I am sure Israel has the right medicine for this SOB and a spoon full of sugar won’t make the medicine go down.
What are they trying to do? Drive us to STRIKE back?
EU Commissioner warns of ‘Jewish lobby’ grip on US politics
One should not underestimate, for instance, the [power] of the Jewish lobby, at Capitol Hill, the American parliament. It is the best organised pressure group there. In other words, one should not underestimate the grip the Jewish lobby has on US politics. Be it with the Democrats or the Republicans, there is little difference.
One should not underestimate the opinion – outside the lobby – of the average Jew who does not live in Israel. There is indeed among most Jews a faith [geloof] – I cannot think of a better way to put it – that they are right. And faith is something difficult to disprove with rational argumentation. It doesn’t depend on them being religious or not. Even secular Jews [vrijzinnige] share the same faith of being right. It is therefore not easy, even for a moderate Jew, to talk about what’s happening in the Middle East. It’s a very emotional issue [for them].”
