Amnesty International?s latest report entitled ?Evidence of misuse of US-weapons reinforces need for arms embargo? accuses Israel of ?war crimes? during the recent Gaza conflict and calls on the UN to impose a global arms embargo against the Jewish state. The news received some Canadian media coverage in the English press and in the French press. The AI report has been harshly criticized by Israel?s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among others. Please read HonestReporting?s latest communique for resources to respond to unfair Canadian media coverage of Amnesty?s deeply flawed report.
