This is the same organization that was very critical of the US when it stepped over the line as part of the War on Terrorism and the Iraq War. Just a quick glance at the front page shows instances of them criticizing the US and its allies for recent actions.
That article you linked about NATO skips over the fact that Assad is a ruthless monster. Remember how Aleppo was turned into a bombed out husk?
Assad doesn’t deserve to lead his people anymore after the atrocities he’s committed, so yes. Alas, that boat has sailed at this point. However, that’s kind of beside the point. Amnesty International was completely correct to sharply criticize Assad. His efforts to hide behind anti-imperialist rhetoric are no excuse.
@MuadDib@lemmy.ml made a claim, I gave multiple pieces of evidence that contradict that claim. I’m addressing their claim straight on. If you want more, they have over 4k results for the US alone in their news archives.
So what you’re saying is that when they criticize someone you like it’s evidence they’re a bunch of imperialists, but when they criticize someone you dislike it’s just a cover. That sounds a lot like “ignore evidence that doesn’t fit my opinion”.
Because they criticize China?
No, because they are a mouthpiece of imperialist nations.
For being a mouthpiece of imperialist nations, they certainly seem to be willing to criticize said nations.
Not really, they direct all their criticisms at the US empire’s main enemies.
Thanks for these sources. Which perennial organizations (in your opinion) are fair and critical to all governments?

So you support the saudi, us, and france backed rebels to take over syria then?

Bringing peace and prosperity to Syria by bombing them and paying NGOs to tell people its a good thing to bomb them, what a novel idea.
They don’t seem to be saying that.
