Amnesty International (UK)
announces:
Amnesty’s Media Awards is entering its 33rd year. Each year, our awards showcase the incredible work of journalists and other media workers who combine outstanding talent with hard work and a great deal of courage to expose injustices worldwide. This year’s finalists are no exception.
This year, we have introduced a new award called the People’s Choice Award. Earlier this year Amnesty International UK supporters were asked to nominate journalists who they believe to have worked tirelessly to achieve human rights change over the past year.
Now, it’s down to a public vote to decide who wins!
Virtually all the nominees are inveterate haters of the Jewish state. All of them center their reporting around Israel and Gaza. Nearly all of them accuse Israel of "genocide."
Owen Jones: "From day one, Israel's leaders and officials loudly broadcast their genocidal intent."
Nesrine Malik: "What is hard to deny now is that Israel has gone rogue. ...What has emerged is a state that is breaking all protocols in a way that situates it not within the democratic fold, but in some outlaw category."
Fergal Keane reports on human stories from Gaza. I could not find any specifically anti-Israel quotes, though.
Patrick Cockburn compares Israel's war against Hamas to Saddam Hussein's deliberate attack on Kurdish civilians.
Some of them might add some articles about Ukraine or Syria or Sudan. But their nominations appear to be all centered on their work in making Israel look evil.
This list of nominees proves, yet again, that Amnesty is obsessed with Israel to the exclusion of the entire rest of the world.
