The stabbing in Gaza of a Palestinian rights activist after he exposed Hamas' contempt for its own people by using them as human shields, and after he criticized the radical Islamic group for torture, abuse and trampling free speech, should be strongly condemned by the United Nations—both as an attack on the victim’s human rights, and on the idea of freedom of expression.

Masked attackers on Friday stabbed Mahmud Abu Rahma multiple times in the back, leg and shoulders, it was revealed today.

...

Abu Rahma's crime was publishing an article in the Palestinian press that dared to criticize Hamas' "outrageous attack upon free expression and peaceful assembly" over the past year, and the "hundreds of cases of torture and abuse."

Holder dreams he had this kind of free reign. His past lawyer days were defending this exact behavior.

That’s Islam. If you deny it’s a religion of peace, they’ll kill you.

They had to do something in order to make sure Human Rights Watch didnt get wind of this and have to revise their assertions that Israel uses civilians as human shields and Hamas doesnt. And yeah, they really do believe that.

“should be strongly condemned by the United Nations”

Yeah, that’s going to happen. No, what is going to happen is that the UN passes a resolution blaming Israel. Bet on it.
