12 'human rights' groups agree: Gilad Shalit should remain a hostage
Twelve 'human rights' groups issued a statement on Friday to mark Gilad Shalit's five years in captivity. Would you believe they did not call for his release? If a better example of the utter moral collapse of the human rights community exists, it would be hard to find. The statement is one of passionless brevity — just a few sentences long — and expresses no opinion on the standing of Hamas, or on its 2006 raid into Israel, or on the legitimacy of its goals and methods. Remarkably, it doesn’t even demand the release of Gilad Shalit. The most that this allegedly courageous and principled human rights community could bring itself to say to the terrorists of Hamas is that they should improve the conditions of Shalit’s imprisonment. You can read the statement on Human Rights Watch’s website.Read the whole thing.
