The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) slammed the human rights group Amnesty International for its report on the Israeli-Hezbollah war, calling it "bigoted, biased and borderline anti-Semitic."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director, called the Amnesty International report, "bigoted, biased and borderline anti- Semitic." Currently in Israel visiting devastated areas in the north, Foxman said, "I see deliberate destruction of Israeli homes, hospitals and other institutions."
He added that, "Amnesty International has a longstanding pattern of rushing to judgment to stigmatize Israel. They chose to ignore the fact that, after Hezbollah's unprovoked attack on Israeli soil, Israel did not deliberately strike civilian centers, while Hezbollah did, killing and maiming Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs and destroying their homes and businesses."
Foxman went on to say that, "One would have hoped that Amnesty International would have started with the victim, Israel, and conducted their study here first reporting on violations of international law and war crimes committed by Hezbollah. When it comes to Israel, Amnesty International has an anti-Israel bias."
