No matter how many atrocities are
perpetrated all over the world, there is no worse atrocity than
Israel defending its citizens – at least as far as Amnesty
International is concerned. It seems that the “human rights”
organization really misses the good old times when Jews were
defenseless: last Friday, Amnesty told
its more than one million Twitter followers:
“#Israel must
stop the murderous assault on protesters in #Gaza, including killing
and maiming 'Great March of Return' demonstrators who pose no
imminent threat to soldiers. Countries must stop all military aid to
Israel until this assault ends.”
To make sure everyone understood that
the world’s only Jewish state behaved in ways that Jew-haters have
always seen as characteristically evil, Amnesty posted
another tweet echoing the medieval blood libel:
“Malicious
tactics are being employed by the Israeli military who are
deliberately using weapons of war to cause life-changing injuries to
Palestinian protesters. Why are weapons still being sold to #Israel?”
And needless to say, there were not
just social media posts, but also a lengthy statement
under the title: “Israel: Arms embargo needed as military
unlawfully kills and maims Gaza protesters.”
Just in case you were wondering: no,
Amnesty doesn’t mention that Gaza’s Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar
told
a crowd of protesters near the border with Israel: “We will uproot
the borders, we will pluck out their hearts, and we will pray in
Jerusalem.” No word either about the fact that many of those killed
were members of terror
organizations; no word about the displays of swastikas
(on Hitler’s birthday) or about the successful attempts to start
fires
across the border in Israel by releasing kites carrying burning rags
or fire bombs.
Instead, Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy
Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty
International, sounded as if she was a deputy Hamas spokesperson –
according to her, the riots at Israel’s borders are just the
peace-loving people of Gaza “demanding the right to return to their
homes and towns in what is now Israel.”
Right, Ms. Mughrabi: now it’s Israel,
but you can always hope it will eventually be Hamastan if Amnesty
keeps working as hard as it can to rid the world of its only Jewish
state.
