Amnesty Sweden put up this pair of billboards in Sweden, this one was seen in a subway station.
The text translates to, " Women are always right. The right to choose. The right to protest. The right to study. The right to live without violence."
Notice that the girl in the photo has a necklace of "Palestine" that erases all of the Jewish state.
The girl is Janna Tamimi, a member of the Tamimi family that includes terrorists like Ahlam Tamimi, the murderer behind the Sbarro pizza shop massacre who lives as a celebrity in Jordan. The Tamimi family fully supports terrorism.
Janna uses the name "Janna Jihad" and has called herself a "journalist" since she was seven. She spreads fake photos of Palestinians supposedly killed by Israel. And Amnesty has used her in other campaigns, falsely claiming that Israel is threatening to kill her.
Every pro-Israel activist faces death threats. Amnesty doesn't seem to think they need protection.
So with the current Swedish campaign, assuming that most commuters don't recognize Janna Tamimi, Amnesty is telling the world that - at the very least - there is nothing wrong with calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. That isn't a human rights violation of Jews who live there. More likely, the subtle message is that Israel must be destroyed - because women are always right.
Even when they spread vicious antisemitic lies, apparently.
If Amnesty Sweden assumes that most commuters do recognize "Janna Jihad," they are then claiming that it is Israel, not Palestinian leaders, who are limiting her right to choose - even though abortion is prohibited in the Palestinian territories. (I cannot find a single Palestinian campaign or article that calls for Palestinian abortion rights.) And they are also saying that Israel blocks peaceful protests and that it somehow blocks her right to study.
So either way, under the pretense of a women's rights campaign, Amnesty is pushing anti-Israel and antisemitic lies.
