"Human Rights" activists? Oh yeah!

May 21, 2010 10:22

As readers of The JC will be aware, there is a highly sophisticated world-wide "Apartheid Israel" campaign. Of course, much of this propaganda originates in South Africa.

Within this context, there are many South African Jews, as well as a host of people outside of the community, who regularly tout themselves as "human rights activists". They often do this, when writing anti-Israel pieces for newspapers, or when speaking to the national and international media. Their venom has even permeated the United Nations and has helped to legitimize the anti-zionist/ anti-apartheid lobby at the UN headed by President Ahmadinejad.

However, when I ask these South African "human rights' activists, to join the "International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran" they remain silent, refusing to get involved.

I believe that it is time that these individuals are publicly confronted about their "human rights" credentials. We should no longer allow them to get away with using the "human rights" epithet.

If you are bothered about what is going on Iran, please access the attached website. And when you have read it, forward it to anybody who might be interested. You should even ask your MP to join the "International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran."
