'Human rights' NGOs contribute to mainstreaming of antisemitism in West

[Mosby]

(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.

Frequently asked questions on ICRC and the hostages held in Gaza
https://www.icrc.org/en/document/frequently-asked-questions-icrc-and-hostages-held-gaza

We want families in Israel and abroad to know that the plight of their loved ones being held hostage is one of our top priorities.

We facilitated the releases that took place in November 2023, when 105 hostages were released, and in October 2023, when four hostages were released. We stand ready to facilitate the release of all remaining hostages.
We are persistently advocating for the release of the remaining hostages, directly with Hamas, with the Israeli authorities, and with other international actors who can influence the parties to the conflict to obtain access to the hostages.
We strengthened our team in charge of this dialogue, to intensify our efforts. Our staff in Gaza is ready to visit the hostages and to facilitate any future release following an agreement reached by the parties.
We continue to request information on the hostages and for access to them. We also continue to insist that they be able to share a message with their families.
We have repeatedly and publicly declared that the hostages should be released immediately and unconditionally and without harm. We have also repeatedly declared that while in captivity they must be treated humanely, have access to medical care if needed, be able to get in contact with their loved ones, and that the ICRC be able to visit them to check on their wellbeing.
