The sad thing is that in no way is this surprising.

Amnesty International has rejected a motion to tackle the rise in antisemitic attacks in Britain at its annual conference. The motion was tabled by Amnesty member Andrew Thorpe-Apps in March who said it was defeated at the International AGM on Sunday by 468 votes to 461.
Mr Thorpe Apps said: It was the only resolution to be defeated during the whole conference.
Amnesty International UK press officer Neil Durkin said: "After a really interesting debate where everyone condemned discrimination against all ethnic and religious groups, our membership decided not to pass this resolution calling for a campaign with a single focus. "Amnesty International fights against discrimination in all its forms, and will continue to do so." He said: "Amnesty UK's Board, which supported the resolution, will be considering the outcome of the vote at their next meeting."
In April 2012 the charity published a report into discrimination against Muslims. The report titled Choice and Prejudice Discrimination against Muslims in Europe said: The aim of this report is to focus on discrimination on grounds of religion or belief and to illustrate some of its consequences on Muslims in Europe.
