The growing lack of credibility among international organizations.

Amnesty International continues to lose credibility by issuing such reports as the one reported here. In Amnesty's world, Israel is solely responsible for the "breakdown in the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that led to Operation Cast Lead."

No, it couldn't have been affected by several years of rocket fire from Gaza into Israel. This one comment in the Jerusalem Post article gives all the needed information to weigh the credibility of the Amnesty Article report:
the report states that the Gaza smuggling tunnels are used to move food and
fuel, but does not mention arms smuggling.

Amnesty International ignores the role that the tunnels play in smuggling rockets and other arms into Gaza. In their view the tunnels merely allow the Gazans to smuggle food and fuel into Gaza. Of course, the Israelis appear bad in trying to keep the border closed if only food and fuel were being brought in.
