    Instead of a pro-/anti- analysis of the situation based on ethnic/national groups, I'd parse things in terms of people favoring (or opposing) Authoritarian / Nationalistic / Violent behavior patterns. And be explicit about the degree to which the whole Israel/Palestine mess is a proxy war, between generally-Western pro-ANV groups, and generally anti-Western pro-ANV groups. And whatever sentiments they might voice - I see very little evidence that either of those sides actually cares about their conflict producing a human-rights hell.

    Unfortunately, most humans are strongly biased to parse conflicts in pro-/anti- ethnic/national terms. Which is extremely convenient for both of the pro-ANV sides here. And a huge problem for those sides' first-order opposition.

    > The Double Standard

    It is right there, at the beginning of the article.

    Although he is right. Amnesty uses double standards.
