Europe is doing it again. These monsters cloak themselves in Orwellian deathspeak. They are beneath contempt. They ought to prostrate themselves at the graves of the six million dead and beg their forgiveness. Corrupt pigs. The Holocaust, while it was a
German initiative, was carried out by every nation in Europe, save for
the Danes. There were Dutch Nazis, Polish Nazis -- Europe as a continent
decided it was a good idea to get rid of the Jews. Caroline Glick said in a previous conversation that the lesson the
Europeans took away from the aftermath of WW2 is insidious. "The
lesson that Europe had decided to avail itself to in the aftermath of
Auschwitz, was not that evil is bad and that they behaved like monsters
but rather that everything was caused by nationalism and therefore what
we really need to do is have a European Union that will obviate our
need for nationalism so that we can become this transnational
gobbletygook and we'll all get together and therefore we won't have
another Auschwitz. They are constantly having memorials to dead Jews while condemning
Israel for every act of of self defense, no matter how benign it is, in
the defense of innocent Jewish citizens. Nationalism isn't bad. American nationalism wasn't bad, has never
been bad. British nationalism hasn't been bad. French nationalism isn't
bad. Polish nationalism isn't bed. Czech nationalism wasn't bad. The thing that was bad was that Germany decided to embrace
madness and evil as its central unifying characteristic under the
Nazis. That is what the problem was, it was not nationalism per se. And
its still not nationalism. They took all the wrong lessons from WW2 and are applying them, while
ignoring the only lesson that's really relevant from WW2 -- which is that
you have to choose good and defend good, and fight with the intention of
defeating evil.
But really the lesson should have been is that we were evil and we have
to be good. And that is the lesson we have to learn and and we have to
be able and willing to make moral distinctions and stand up for the
good and fight evil and that is something the Europeans refuse to do."
(Jerusalem) – NGO Monitor today revealed that the Palestinian NGO Al-Mezan, behind the effort to arrest Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, is funded by a number of European governments. Although the UK authorities rejected the attempt, NGO Monitor notes that Al-Mezan’s role is another example of the abuse of European taxpayer funding in the anti-Israel ‘lawfare’ campaign.
- Al-Mezan’s core donors include the Norwegian government and a joint framework including Sweden, Switzerland, Holland and Denmark known as NDC. Additional project donors to Al-Mezan include the European Commission, Ford Foundation, Diakonia (Sweden) and Trocaire (Ireland)
- Al-Mezan’s activities reflect a consistent anti-Israel agenda and demonization, including claims of Israeli ‘apartheid’.
- This case is the latest stage in the NGO-led ‘lawfare’ campaign. Under the façade of judicial processes, NGOs utilize universal jurisdiction provisions to promote and justify the isolation and boycotts of Israel and its leaders.
- UK courts have rejected all previous NGO cases against Israeli leaders, showing the emphasis on publicity. Previous UK cases include those against Doron Almog and Shaul Mofaz, involving Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR). In November 2008 and July 2009, the UK Court of Appeal dismissed cases brought by Al Haq against the UK government to end export licenses to Israel.
NGO Monitor’s President, Prof Gerald Steinberg said, “European
governments that funnel taxpayer funds to these radical NGOs are paying
for the demonization of Israel, and fueling the conflict.
Al-Mezan has joined other NGOs in using the courts to promote
anti-Israel bias. In addition to the attack on Ehud Barak, Al-Mezan
also contributed to the foundations of the Goldstone report, which is
another form of ‘lawfare’”.
