(Israel Hayom) - A new Amnesty International report on the Israeli practice of administrative detention is one-sided, and ignores the extreme circumstances that lead to these detentions, says Prof. Gerald Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor. Furthermore, he says, "Amnesty's report is based on the ideological backgrounds of two researchers who comprise its Middle East department, Deborah Hyams and Saleh Hijazi - individuals with clear activist backgrounds. This is a violation of Amnesty's claimed core value of 'impartiality.'" "This report, which relies heavily on political NGOs such as B'tselem, erases the context of Israeli action, and applies double standards to target Israel. The fact is that administrative detention is a common procedure used by democratic countries around the world, including the U.S. and the UK. Israel's use of this practice complies with international law - all Palestinian administrative detainees are brought before a judge within a short period of time, and all the evidence is reviewed by the court." 2012-06-07 00:00:00Full Article
