OK…

Amnesty approves controversial anti-Israel event

Yes, the UK branch has shown very bad judgment, by allowing this to take place on their territory. Some of their officials may have anti-Israel bias, or are clueless about some things, or both. I don’t think this speaks of the org as a whole. If you show that the people who write and approve the relevant reports are biased, then you may have a point. Until then, meh.

Since the topic is still ongoing: ADL Calls Amnesty International Report “Bigoted, Biased, And Borderline Anti-Semitic

Foxman is hardly an unbiased source when it comes to all things Israel, and especially to criticism of Israel’s policy or actions. Cf. his kid gloves treatment of Glenn Beck, who gets mildly criticized, but is basically let off the hook because he is allegedly such a good friend of Israel. And just as easily, “ADL’s reaction to Park51 center is bigoted, biased and borderline Islamophobic”, etc.
