And the reality is Amnesty is a big critic of the US

I would say that your link rather proves the Video makers point. The page is dominated by a partisan rant against Trump, the US President that drove a Bulldozer with wrecking ball through US deep state long term foreign policy.
You will also see that their interpretation of Human Rights is of the most Woke variety. Denying the Climate Emergency will undoubtedly become the next big abuse...

Amnesty gave up their charitable status in order to be a political organisation, which is a status incompatible with charitable status according to the charity commission.

It's worth remembering that. They are a political lobbying mouthpiece. Of course, you may like their politics, in which case they're magnificent.

On the other hand ...
<t>In matters of taxation, Lord Clyde\'s summing up in the 1929 case Inland Revenue v Ayrshire Pullman Services is worth a glance.</t>

Amnesty refer to parts of Israel as "the occupied territories" where I've not seen the USA do that.

Great video which illustrates that rather than be a champion of Human Rights, that Amnesty is simply an Agitprop arm of US foreign policy.
