Why are the ‘Be Kind’ brigade not marching against the terror group following its cold-blooded execution of its own civilians?
Horrifying news from Gaza. Hamas has carried out a mass public execution. The victims – who showed signs of having been brutally beaten – were blindfolded, forced to kneel, and then shot dead. The footage is utterly chilling. I have just one question: when will Western Left-wingers start marching in protest?
After all, we know how very, very deeply they care about the lives of Palestinians. So they will have been appalled to see Palestinians being executed on their own streets like this. As the Independent Commission for Human Rights in Palestine has said, these executions were “a gross violation of the right to life, physical integrity and the right to a fair trial”. And, as a spokesman for Fatah, a political party in the West Bank, has said: “This is how Hamas persecutes civilians”.
Presumably, therefore, we can expect Western politicians, activists and celebrities to be up in arms about this latest sickening bloodshed in Gaza. Greta Thunberg, I feel sure, will be setting sail immediately, so she can tell Hamas exactly what she thinks of them.
