The moral rot undergirding so much anti-Israel sentiment was made apparent on Monday after Amnesty International decided to mourn the death of Walid Daqqa. The post, which appeared on social media, described Daqqa as a “writer” who spent 38 years in Israeli jails, further claiming that the death represented a violation of “Palestinians’ right to life.”
There was just one small problem with that description. Namely, it omitted the key detail that Daqqa was a terrorist who kidnapped and tortured a young Israeli.
The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life ⬇️https://t.co/hSz0gdZgVj
