'Human rights' NGOs contribute to mainstreaming of antisemitism in West [View all]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

In a recent NGO Monitor event in Jerusalem, renowned author, political commentator, and member of NGO Monitor’s International Advisory Board, Douglas Murray, highlighted how “an organized and well-funded lobby” of prominent NGOs continues to spread antisemitism and hate.

This moral failure is highlighted as we approach International Human Rights Day on December 10, which is meant to commemorate the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Composed in the shadow of the Holocaust, the UDHR was supposed to protect vulnerable people from discrimination and oppression. Today, powerful NGOs have weaponized its ideals and selectively apply its values, contributing to increased antisemitism. The abysmal state of human rights around the world highlights the abject failure of these organizations.

....

Since October 7, when Hamas and its allies abducted more than 240 hostages – including children and babies – the ICRC has done nothing to gain access to these hostages. This is in stark contrast to its interventions in other conflicts, such as Yemen and Colombia, where the ICRC visited captives and provided medical care.

The message is clear – the rules and moral principles don’t apply to Israeli victims.
