Six Jews were murdered last week by Hamas. They were executed in a tunnel under Gaza: two women, four men. All by Hamas gunmen. And neither Human Rights Watch, nor Amnesty International, nor the UN Human Rights Council, nor Oxfam, nor any of the other so-called “human rights” organizations who issue furious condemnations of every presumed “violation of human rights” by Israel had a word to say about those executions. No, the welkin did not ring with denunciations from any of these groups. Murder most foul was followed by a cat-got-your-tongue silence. More on this silence can be found here: “Hamas is executing hostages. “Human rights” groups are silent. Because, to them, Jews are less than human.” Elder of Ziyon, September 2, 2024:
Forensics experts have determined that Hamas executed six Israeli hostages late last week.
These six – Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Almog Sarusi – were alive a few days ago. Hamas murdered them.
All of them were shot multiple times from close range.
They weren’t killed in battle. They weren’t killed from airstrikes. They were deliberately executed by Hamas.
Their kidnappings were a war crime. Their being taken hostage with the intent to trade them for murderers was a war crime. Their ten months of imprisonment were a crime against humanity. Their executions were a heinous crime against humanity.
And as of this writing, not a word of condemnation has been tweeted by Amnesty or Human Rights Watch or Oxfam or the UN Human Rights Council.
These are groups who are keen to condemn Jews marching with flags in Jerusalem, or Jews praying in their holiest spot, or Jews renting out houses as Airbnbs on the “wrong” side of an arbitrary line. Yet when Jews are summarily executed by Palestinians, they are suddenly struck mute.
So you know how they claim to care about international law? How they say they care about morality? How they pretend to care about human rights?
They don’t give s [sic] damn about any of them. They only condemn things that align with their politics, and Palestinians murdering Jews is not something they consider abhorrent or immoral. They sort of admire them….
Will anyone do the right thing — possibly Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or our UN Ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, or Senator John Fetterman — and say publicly what needs to be said? To wit, something along the lines of this: “We have noticed with dismay that none of the so-called human rights groups, such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the UN Human Rights Council, and Oxfam have as yet uttered a word of condemnation of the murderers, or expressed their horror, or offered words of sympathy and solidarity, to the families of those six Israeli hostages who were murdered in cold blood. How can you expect to be taken seriously by the world when you cannot perform the simplest act of decency and fellow-feeling? Why should anyone listen to you, after this display of hideous indifference to the victims, when those victims are Israelis?
Lethal says
I believe they say nothing because they believe Islam will take over the world and they don’t want to be killed when it happens
George says
No, they are weak minded lemmings. No one on the left is allowed to deviate from the party line. They think their one world communist police state will take over the world, not Islam. They are only using Islam to help take down Christianity and Western Civilization.

Hello George and all, have you ever read the prophecy at Daniel 2:44? It is very reassuring, as it tells us that it is the heavenly government, the Kingdom of God, that is going to take over the world.
Speaking under inspiration Daniel says: “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.”
The loving and perfect Kingdom of God will restore the whole earth to the paradise of peace it was always meant to be, and it will (thank God) end the times we are living in now, times during which “man has dominated man to his harm”.
And that Kingdom will know and care for every one of its subjects. Already it is teaching millions of us – from “every tribe and nation and tongue” – to live in peace as the brothers and sisters we truly are. In such a divided and hate-filled world, isn’t that a miracle?

And they are cowards.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Where is the Useless Nations and their so called Human Rights Commissions?!
Arthur Vasquez says
That’s why the UN stands for UNITED NAZIS

By emplacing reinforced concrete redoubts throughout the gaza strip, the israelis can have a network of overlapping observation posts. Drones, cameras, outposts, patrols, etc. P.I.M.P. Permanent Israeli Military Protectorate. Someday, hamas will crawl out and surrender. Or maybe israel will have to crawl in after them, and drag them out.
Tionico says
I think the best solution for the Gaza terror tunnels is MORE SALT WATER.
Barbara panken says
Will anyone do the right thing ……… Nope!!! Jews don’t matter!!!
Alkflaeda says
We will never know – but I would like to think that the hostages had heard the sounds of the IDF’s approach – or perhaps noticed that their captors’ behaviour suggested it – and that they tried to escape, hence the signs of struggle. That they died with hope. Not that it reflects any better on Hamas, though – after all, without the hostages they would have been more mobile, and better able to make their own escape, so why kill them, rather than letting them go, since they were going to lose their bargaining chip value anyway?
Whatever the truth, the writer’s point remains valid. People should be horrified by murder, no matter whether they like what the victim represents in their eyes, or not. And if they claim to be moral or human rights arbiters, they should register that horror in appropriate ways.
The other thing is that the practrice of hostage taking needs to be addressed internationally. It is a war crime, not a strategy, and when a nation or people group perpetrates it, the rest of us should be looking at collapsing their economy, so that they – and anyone else considering such behaviour – realise that hostages are far more trouble than they are worth.
Detroit Pete says
Everything these barbarians do is in emulation of the things their “perfect man” did thirteen or so centuries ago. Mohammad took hostages; therefore today’s jihadis take hostages.
George says
Yes, Mohammed had a Jewish man beheaded and then married his wife. And it’s illegal to state that truth in Europe.
Patriot19 says
That would make them scum-sucking COWARDS, …but that is NOT the case.
They are ALL an evil POS.
