Elder of Ziyon
Excerpts (double translated from French to Hebrew to English):
For a year Doctors Without Borders has been criticized for its biased communications in favor of Hamas. In Gaza, the organization maintains 800 local employees who provide testimony to the press, without any possibility of verifying the information. Thus, at the very beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas, Doctors Without Borders spread fake news about the attack at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, which became the talk of the day in the international media. The organization even claimed that it did not know that Al-Shifa Hospital was used as a base for Hamas, despite testimonies and videos on social media that showed hostages being forcibly dragged through the corridors of the building by armed men.When asked, the organization called our investigation a "dangerous and irresponsible move" that "preserves the rhetoric of the Israeli authorities." The best defense is offense, but that answer seems weak given the severity of the accusations from former members of the organization. The first of them is Alan Destexhe, the organization's former secretary general, who published a report in which he accused the organization of collaborating with Hamas and deviating from its humanitarian mission in a political direction.In the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche last June, a doctor in the organization confirmed to us that a part of Al-Shifa hospital was forbidden for medical teams to enter by armed men even before the start of the conflict , and he alerted his management about the situation. The management of Médecins Sans Frontières in France denied the allegations.According to Destexhe's report, the organization has never condemned the violations of humanitarian law by Hamas in Gaza. Although Doctors Without Borders declares neutrality and impartiality, about fifty of the organization's employees praised the massacre of October 7. Some of them were even active in terrorist organizations, such as Pedi Al-Wadia, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, who was killed by the IDF last June. "He was an expert in the production and use of missiles and rockets," explained IDF spokesman Olivier Rapovich.Other controversial figures are included in the Destexhe report, such as Dr. Hassan Abu Sita, a doctor who testified in the media (including the BBC) about the "massacre of 500 civilians at Al-Ahli Hospital" following an Israeli bombardment, while it was the failed firing of a Hamas rocket that caused the death of about 50 people. On social networks, Abu Sita called on the Palestinians to "fight and die like the Shahids."The organization's vice president in France, Jassen Abu Sha'ar, published a vague message on Twitter after the October 7 attack, calling to "find out facts before condemning" .But what is more surprising are the connections between the organization and the activist Rima Hassan. Before being elected to the European Parliament, Hassan served as a board member of Doctors Without Borders from 2021 to 2022 and as the founder and president of a refugee camp monitoring organization. What was her role? The member of parliament from France did not want to answer our questions.
Another "human rights organization" that is antisemitic. One shouldn't be surprised, but it is still outrageous.
