“A cynical move that tries to take the focus off the Gaza genocide by calling attention to a real genocide.”
Geneva, September 1 – Amnesty International, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and several allied groups lambasted the government of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu today for its recent decision to send food, medical supplies, and other essentials to East Africa where war and famine have ravaged the population, because such shipments will move too far away for the Islamist terrorists in Gaza to divert it to their own warehouses.
A spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which until the current war worked through “official” – meaning Hamas – channels in the Gaza Strip to deliver aid to a population with soaring unemployment, issued a declaration on concert with Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, ICRC, and Médecins Sans Frontières condemning Israel’s impending provision of aid to displaced, starving people in Sudan.
“This is a cynical move that not only tries to take the focus off the Gaza genocide by calling attention to a real genocide,” stated UNRWA staffer Lucian Schmuckberger, “it also puts the aid beyond the reach of those who should really be in control of it, our partners in the legitimate government of Gaza.” Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2007 and have yet to hold any since.
“All aid belongs in Gaza,” concurred Ken Roth, formerly of Human Rights Watch. “Sending aid anywhere else, where conditions may or may not be worse than in Gaza, is a war crime. I’ll tell you exactly which one later on, when our researchers can redefine more terms to indict Israel and only Israel for things everyone has always done legally.”
Upon being informed that aid organizations have been sending such crucial supplies to stricken areas that are not Gaza, Roth remarked, “Wow, looks like Israel has been committing this war crime everywhere. This calls for sanctions.”
Israel has often responded quickly to international humanitarian crises, dispatching food, medicine, medical personnel, and other volunteers, most often in the wake of natural disasters, but in Sudan’s case, the disaster is manmade: war, displacement, mass rape, and genocide. The Jewish State’s critics accuse it of attempting to cover up its crimes against Palestinians by doing good things for others, a criticism they withhold from other countries that send aid but have other failings.
“Israel’s crimes against Palestinians are uniquely evil,” explained Agnes Callamard of Amnesty International. “Without that axiom, the human rights community’s behavior makes little sense. Unless you want us to use our halo effect to call you an accessory to mass murder, you’d better fall in line.”
