Amnesty International blatantly lied on Tuesday when it accused Israel of violating international law for bombing the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights building in Gaza.
Amnesty tweeted: “We strongly condemn attack on the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights whose office in Gaza was struck by an Israeli missile earlier this morning. Strikes targeting civilian buildings is a violation of international law. We are sending our solidarity to @ICHR_Pal”.
Meanwhile, Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst who is reporting from Gaza fired back on Twitter and said the building was hit by a rocket that misfired from Gaza, and that he witnessed the event.
“Israel did not strike this building. A rocket misfired from Gaza. I was across the street when it happened,” wrote Yingst on Twitter.
You think Amnesty removed their tweet?
Of course not.

Since when has Amnesty International been objective? Much of their history is tainted with outright lies and gross anti-Israel bias. Big Chiddush.
How much condemnation did Amnesty issue against Palestinian 250 rockets to civilian targets?
How much condemnation did Amnesty issue against Palestinian terrorists, (oh sorry, “militants”) firing from residential buildings as well as schools and hospitals?
Thank you to Yeshiva World for posting this important article.
Those guys are a bunch of liars (Amnesty Int’l).
Amnesty is generally objective. You are going by this one person? Let’s see how it plays out. Regardless, Israel started this round of violence with their assassination, as usual. Those kids wouldn’t be dead if not for Israel’s action.
