More than eight years ago I discussed trying to enlighten my father and his wife on the evils of Amnesty International. To his credit, Dad saw the light and before he died canceled his monthly donation. But the organization goes from bad to worse and has now hit a new low with its eulogy for Walid Daqqah who it describes as a “writer” and as a “reminder of Israel’s cruel disregard for Palestinians’ right to life” in the tweet below. It cannot be serious. But it is.
Walid masterminded the kidnap of 19 year old Moshe Taman, an Israeli and a Jew. He had his genitals cut off, his eyes cut out and after two days of torture he was executed. If anyone deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life it was Walid Daqqah. The distortion of Walid’s career and of who has a right to life by Amnesty is shocking.
If you still donate to Amnesty now is a very good time to stop.
