(Jewish Group) Say What You Like About the Jews. Up to a Point

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Amnesty International, probably the world’s most respected human rights monitoring organization, has just published a report on the online abuse of female politicians and journalists on Twitter, with a particular focus on Britain.

The results, sadly, are not surprising. Women in public life are targets of disproportionate vitriolic attacks and degrading slander, demeaning them and seeking to silence their voices. No less surprisingly, prominent women from ethnic minorities are particular targets of Twitter abuse combining racism and misogyny.

There is one surprising feature in the Amnesty report however. You only need a very passing interest in British politics to have been aware that over the past three and a half years, since Jeremy Corbyn shot out of obscurity to become leader of the Labour Party, female Jewish members of parliament and journalists in Britain have been consistently singled for abuse, not only on Twitter, but often also in real life.

Strangely, this didn’t even warrant a mention in Amnesty’s report. When questioned about this glaring omission, the organization responded that, "despite our best efforts, we didn’t have enough data about the Jewish background of the women in our sample."

How to explain such a blatant lie?

Not a bad article, but a piss-poor example in regards to the ADL.
