Moonbat Gets A Taste of Terrorism

A British lady named Kate Burton and her parents have been kidnapped in Gaza. But the media reports have concealed the deep irony at work here. A defender of terrorism has been subjected to terrorism! Aw, what a shame.

Burton has been idenitifed in the media -- such as this piece in Bloomberg -- as a "humanitarian worker with the Gaza Strip-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights." But as pointed out by the NGO Monitor, the media has been parroting a lot of doubletalk.

The group's claimed mission is "To protect, respect and promote the internationally accepted standards of human rights," yadda yadda yadda.

However, as is typical in Eurotrash-funded pro-terror groups, its real agenda is to justifying and promoting anti-Israel terror. Says the NGO Monitor:

Its "actual activities reflect centrality of radical anti-Israel agenda, including promoting claims of 'Israeli war crimes'; inflammatory pictures, and incitement justifying terrorism. In these activities, Al Mezan erases Palestinian terrorism, including missile attacks launched from densely populated civilian centers in Gaza; also ignores Palestinian corruption, and internal violence." (Such as, for example, kidnappings.)

Too bad these two nice people and their dipsy daughter were kidnapped. It's also too bad you won't read about Al Mezan's real character in the media.

UPDATE: Excellent piece on Al Mezan, and Ms. Burton's Stockholm Syndrome, by Melanie Phillips.
