I love TheRealNews and would like to make a constructive suggestion. For multi-part videos, please start marking them by using x/x in the title instead of Pt.x which does not help at all. saying 2/3 we know that there is a 3rd clip left to watch to finish it. But saying Pt.2 means little specially when part 1 was not even marked. I favorited part 1 (which did not say part 1) and did not know if there is a part 2, even this clip ended prematurely & I'm not sure if there are more. Please use X/X

Free Palestine.

Boycott Apartheid Israel !!!

May the LORD God Almighty bless you Dr. Barghouti. Hope to see you in person.

Violent only lead us to nothing but bitterness, hate, avenge-revenge.

Keep the non-violent movement in Palestine..in the world.

@xmenrus Winners and losers, what a poor mentality.

[xmenrus]

@NicosNicosNicosNicos They are also for the VICTORIOUS; and the victor writes the history books. Too bad, you lose the discussion.

[MalikHussein8]

@NicosNicosNicosNicos Well it is pretty clear that their main role is to act as a political arbitrator and show show little respect to security needs.

The Allies of the U.S such as Saudi Arabia, UAE never get condemned for lack of democracy or torture. And their reports are many times based on the propaganda on political interests groups as they conduct no acticity in the country in question such as Iran. How can they independently verify their claims? The answer is that they can't.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@MalikHussein8 Ok, I get your point I think, although I think the rule of greater military force, particular the backing of the world's only superpower are what helps it avoid the consequences of its actions. The UN has repeatedly condemned Israel's actions with huge majority votes against them at the General Assembly (by which I imply the rules are the same but powerful countries can get away with breaking them). Double-standards abound in the corporate press, but Amnesty?

[MalikHussein8]

@NicosNicosNicosNicos It is worse in several ways. Mostly because Israel overrides rule of Law and whole different set of rules apply to it. There is a blatant dubble standard to those with lobbies, money, connection, media ownership.

Can you imagine the reaction if Turkey had done 1/4 of this to the Kurds? Iran can't even prosecute ethnic minorities without it being considered a human right violations. While Israel has been exterminating a whole nation for 60 years.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@MalikHussein8 And I wouldn't say they are the worst in the world. They are bad, and there are unfortunately plenty of others: see the systematic rape of men and women by the Russian army in Chechenia, children forced to be soldiers in DRC Congo, over four million people forced from their homes/land in Colombia...there's a lot of horrible things going on around the world that rarely make it to the front page (because unlike Amnesty, the corporate press is pro-US priorities).

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@MalikHussein8 Some Amnesty release titles just from the past month of July 2010:

"Israel intensifies West Bank Palestinian home demolitions"-26 July; "Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territories: Family homes destroyed" -21 July 2010; "US-Israel talks must seek end to Gaza blockade" 7 July; "Israel steps up forced evictions of West Bank Palestinians" -1 July; "Palestinian families facing forced eviction" -1 July; "Israel: End the blockade of Gaza now" -1 July. So how do you mean?

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@MalikHussein8 Any human rights group has abundant reasons for criticising Iran's human rights abuses (regardless of whether the US is in favour or against) but are you saying Amnesty refrains from criticising abuses in Israel? How do you reach that conclusion?
