29. If what you say were true, then

The Nuremberg trials would have been blatantly partial: not a single German on the prosecution teams or among the judges. And then, Goering’ s defense at his trial would have been the only valid argumentation you would have accepted.

The composition of membership of Amnesty Israel, as with any group of people, doesn’t speak of its decision making. Only the outcomes do. And in this respect, the author’s activist opinions are a piss poor benchmark to make any judgements in this respect.

You have taken the judgemental opinion of an admittedly partial adversary as the only basis for critique of the people he is partial against.

You can see how your entire argument is based on a fallacious presumption, can’t you?
