An Open Letter To President Macron: Amnesty once Fought Hate, now it Foments Hate Mongering

Paris

Mister President,

In the shadow of the Dreyfus antisemitic case, the journalist Theodor Herzl realized that the return of the Jewish people to itsancestral home, the Land of Israel, would be its only protection.

This week, we will celebrate the 125th year since Herzl’s first Zionist Congress, held in Basel, Switzerland.

Amnesty International’s partner in Jew-hatred is “BDS France” (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions), reminiscent of the 1930’s Nazi’s“Buy not from Jews” (Kaufen nicht by Juden).

Its instigator is the Stalinist French annual “Fête de l’Humanité”.

The Wiesenthal Centre has brought up the Lellouche law that forbids BDS.

Next, we successfully lobbied the National Assembly to adopt the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition ofantisemitism, that includes the Jewish State of Israel.

Amnesty’s agitation against Israel as “Apartheid” is to whip up further hatemongering against the Jews.

Mister President, in a previous article, I claimed that “calling Israel as Apartheid” is Palestinian identity theft, of that horrorin South Africa and Namibia.”

Israel – after three days of rocket bombardments from Gaza – opened the security wall to 15,000, whose salaries , in Israel, keepfamilies alive.

Israel’s hospitals and pharmacies are manned by Palestinians.

Tel Aviv has the only LGBT community in the Middle East. In “Palestine”, they are incarcerated or worse.

Israeli Palestinians are members of Parliament (Knesset)

Mister President, is this “Apartheid”?

Amnesty’s provocation is heavily based in France. We urge you to end this incitement to Jew-hatred, which stirs up the memories ofVichy.

Most respectfully,

Dr. Shimon Samuels
Director for International Relations
Simon Wiesenthal Centre
