So, again, you dismiss the claims just because they're not the experts they say they are.

  No, I disagree with the substance of their argument for a bunch of reasons, but that's not what my comment was about. I'm not writing a formal rebuttal; I'm only pointing out that their credibility, which the EFF is directly appealing to, is hollow.

  If you use their expert status to give their claim authority, it actually does matter whether their expert status is justified, even if what they say is correct. In other words, if you say: "listen to what they say, because they are experts", questioning their expert status is entirely justified. It's different if you were to say: "listen to what they say, because it makes sense". In this case, I think what they say is correct, but if it's true that Israel is the only item on their agenda, their credibility as experts is still suspect. And I do agree that Israel has a terrible human rights record, but they are indeed hardly the worst offender. (Was Qatar member of this? They have enslave migrant workers, working them to death for the 2022 world championship!)
