text: why are 'human rights' groups so obsessed with israel and usa? israel and usa have human rights records that are infinitely better than those of china, cuba, north korea, iran, syria, egypt, saudi arabia (or any other islamic state)?  why all that concern for the socalled 'palestineans', who have far less legitimate claim to a state of their own than the tibetans, kurds or even the israelis themselves do. after all, palestine (pre 1948) was not a state for the people we now refer to as 'palestineans' but it was a british protectorate and before that an ottoman province. the same reason the united nations spends 1/3 of its time and money bashing israel ... while people in africa suffer slavery and starvation.  can't let nice sounding names fool you, like "human rights watch" or "amnesty international".  these are anti-american, anti-civilization, anti-semitic organizations with an agenda that has nothing to do with real human rights.
