A new report into humanitarian NGO Amnesty International accuses the organisation of “an institutional hostility towards Israel that borders on obsession”.

The report is based on an investigation by researcher David Collier into social media and other public activities by Amnesty staff.

Mr Collier concludes that “it is as if Amnesty has declared war on Israel”.

The report draws on hundreds of thousands of social media posts from over 50 Amnesty accounts, as well as the output of more than 40 staff and volunteers who work or have worked for the NGO.
