Debating Amnesty About Syria and Double Standards
by Joe Emersberger
I sent the following note to Amnesty on June 16 after it put out a detailed report on the conflict in Syria:
Dear Amnesty
In your most recent report on Syria you ask the UN Security Council to impose an arms embargo on the Syrian government. You ask for no such arms embargo on the Syrian rebels and only ask that the Security Council "request" of states who supply the rebels that they put "mechanisms" in place to prevent the arms from being used to violate human rights: <www.amnestyus...rce=W1206EDMNAP>.
In 2009, you asked for the Security Council to "to impose an immediate, comprehensive arms embargo on all parties to the conflict in Gaza" (my emphasis): <www.amnesty.o...mounts-20090115>.
Please explain why you think arming Palestinians is harmful to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Gaza, while apparently believing that arming rebels in Syria is benign or perhaps even helpful.
Would you trust the Assad regime to arms rebels in foreign countries in such a way as prevent human rights abuses? What is it about the track record of the Saudi state or the US government that makes Amnesty believe that they would ever attempt to arm the Syrian rebels in such a way as to prevent human rights abuses -- assuming such a feat is even possible?
I've rarely received replies to the numerous notes I've sent Amnesty over the years. I was surprised to see this one on July 4:

Here we have another example why NO INSTITUTION within a class system, by definition a class institution, is INDEPENDENT, INDIVISIBLE, reflecting social justice. All class institutions CO OPT, CORRUPT, INVERT, SUBSTITUTE, FALSELY CONFLATE, make false claims to social principles, when they are in fact class principles and outlooks The U.N. has been corrupted, biased, by Western Security Council, class states and their EXCLUSIONS, DOUBLE STANDARDS, HYPOCRISY. Just look at how all 3 branches of government, 4 if you include the corrupt corporate media propagate false propaganda, LIES against Iran, against Syria, by placing WESTERN IDEOLOGICAL PUPPETS, class/empire elites, into U.N. agencies that MAKE UP FACTS, HISTORY, for the West, particularly the U.S. AND OBAMA, whose militarism, Fascism, threatens World War III.
In the same, way Human rights organizations which often have biased pro Zionists, pro Israeli ideologues within them, routinely have DOUBLE STANDARDS, EXCLUSIVE STANDARDS, class/empire exceptions which reflects their CLASS/EMPIRE outlook. Amnesty International HAS BEEN CORRUPTED, CO OPTED by Western class whores, who have turned HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANZIATIONS into tools for Western propaganda. The outrageous attempt by AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL to promote FASCIST NATO as examples of defending women rights, social power, IS JUST TO OPPORTUNISTIC, SICK, AND CORRUPT to waste any words on. Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland has been joined by another class whore, corporate executive in Amnesty Inernational, Suzanne Nossel, who shares the corrupt Western class/empire outlook and fails to see her DUPLICITY. Recently she was interviewed on Democracy Now, with Amy Goodman, on another issue, but to my astonishment, Amy Goodman did not call out her DUPLICITY, HYPOCRISY.
Joe Emersberg does a fine job calling out this class whore who corrupts Human rights organizations, proving that social independence, social indivisibility cannot exist within class systems, until these class hierarchies have been dissolved, destroyed by social middle classes, that finally achieve complete freedom from the class corruption of class systems and hierarchies:
HE STATES:
"In April, Suzanne Nossel, Amnesty USA's director, misrepresented an Iranian dissident by falsely claiming that the dissident had commented on an Iranian "nuclear weapons program." Before being hired by Amnesty, Nossel supported the US invasion of Iraq and (three years after the illegal invasion of Iraq led to hundreds of thousands of deaths) advised the US government that the "military option cannot be off the table" in dealing with another "menacing state" -- namely Iran.6
With people like Nossel highly placed within the organization, it is not surprising that Amnesty, like Human Rights Watch, has been openly dismissive of the plight of Julian Assange -- a man who has clearly been targeted for having exposed grave human rights abuses.7..."
THE ONLY WAY FOR THE WORLD TO BE FREE FROM THIS GENERIC CLASS CORRUPTION, CREEPING TOTALITARIANISM, FASCISM, IS TO KICK OUT ALL CLASS POLITICIANS, CLASS PARTIES, AND ESTABLISH WORLD WIDE SOCIAL PARTIES, WITH SOCIAL AGENDAS THAT CREATE SOCIAL MIDDLE CLASSES WHO ARE INDEPENDENT,INDIVISIBLE FROM CLASS HIERARCHIES AND THE GENERIC PATRIARCHAL CLASS MECHANISM, STILL WITH US ENSLAVING, CORRUPTING HUMAN NATURE FOR PARASITIC CLASSES. A QUESTION FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: WHY IS A FASCIST, CRIMINAL, CLASS IDEOLOGUE, NOSSEL, PROMOTING AGGRESSION IN IRAQ, THE PRESIDENT OF A HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION??????????????????????????????????????????????
It seems like NPR, which gets public donations to promote Fascist, Zionist propaganda, has been joined by AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL & HRW who appeal also for public donations, while its corrupt class elites BETRAY THE PUBLIC AS TROJAN HORSES.
