On Friday I wrote a popular post about how Amnesty-USA started an anti-Israel petition based on their statistic that 7,000 Palestinian Arab minors were arrested or detained since 2003 - but they are silent about the fact that far more minors were arrested in every single US state in the same timeframe, and that the US arrest rate of minors per capita is at least 30 times the number of arrests by Israel of minor Palestinians.

What I didn't realize at the time was how Amnesty was illustrating their story:


The blonde girl on the right with the "Love" shirt is Ahed Tamimi, otherwise known as Shirley Temper, immortalized in a video I made with Aussie Dave of Israellycool:



This photo shows the girls being restrained by the IDF as her mother is being arrested during a protest in 2012. As the video shows, the girls were never arrested.

Amnesty chose the photo not for its truthfulness but for its propaganda value of showing blonde girls, who Americans can identify with, as poster children for Israeli arrests.

Because why should Amnesty be trusted to do something as basic as telling the truth, when their purpose is anti-Israel propaganda?
