No good deed goes unpunished.
My grandfather used to use this expression all the time. Its’ been a personal favourite of my daughter for years. He use to say it to reinforce that even if there are negative repercussions for a doing a good deed one should always be govern one’s choices or actions on what is right rather than what is rewarded or praised. He believed in a turn for a turn principle and deeply believed that eventually matters would balance out in the end. I, on the other hand, am much more cynical about human nature.
I have to give credit to the anti-Zionist crowd because they never fail to miss an opportunity or a good deed to exploit a blood libel. And Wow. Just wow. This has to be heard to believed.
I have no idea how long this will be up and running, but perhaps, there is no rush as Blood Libels against Jews are really traditional – even ancient.
I was going to blog on why I would not be supporting Geert Wilders and on the mounting number of pedestrian deaths in Toronto – and maybe I will later – but I woke up late and went to read Ynet News over coffee.
WASHINGTON – Even when Israel puts itself on the front lines of medical and humanitarian aid sent to the ends of the earth and wins great praise for its professionalism in doing so, there are those who prefer to transform the act into an opportunity to spread hatred and lies at the expense of those suffering in Haiti.
(,,,)The man, who calls himself T. West, fronts a group called AfriSynergy Productions, whose declared goal is to empower the black man. The video purports to present something to think about while exploiting the horrible tragedy that has befallen Haiti to recycle false claims that IDF soldiers engage in organ trafficking. he bizarre host of the video collected praises broadcast on television channels regarding the advanced equipment and treatment the Israeli teams are providing in Haiti. After about a minute and a half of such praise, the man looks straight into the camera and made the claim that there are people operating in Haiti who do not have a conscience and are members of the search-and-rescue teams, including, he claimed, the IDF.
The man repeated the false claims that the IDF stole organs in the past from Palestinians and others. He asserted that there is very little oversight during such tragedies, and that the Haitian people must look out for their fellow citizens to protect them against international medical groups who arrived in the country “for the money.” He claimed that some people were looking to make money off the tragedy. In a conversation with Ynet, the man explained his beliefs behind the hate-filled statements he made. “I don’t have anything against Israel. I have a lot against the ideology of Zionism,” he explained. “We saw what you did in South Africa and with the Palestinians. Because of our history and the suffering of our people, I understand what the Palestinians are going through.” According to him, he is taking action “to promote positive change among Afro-Americans and in Africa.
