This morning in Armon HaNatziv (an Israeli neighbourhood in southern East Jerusalem), two masked palestinian terrorists stalked and stabbed two elderly women in their backs. The victims were 86 and 82 years of age.
Here is how Jacob Burns, Research & Campaign Assistant at Amnesty International, decided to tweet about it.
Understandably, many people tweeted their disgust at Burns for this grossly insensitive tweet, prompting this response:
No Jacob, nothing was misinterpreted. You could not just condemn the callous attack on two elderly women unequivocally, but rather chose to use the attack to try and make a point about your opinion of the legal status of the attack location.
But this does not surprise me, given your history of anti-Israel bias.
Jacob Burns (research and campaign assistant), who currently is in the region, previously worked for Forensic Architecture, a pseudo-scientific project that, in partnership with Amnesty International, made unsubstantiated charges of Israeli war crimes.
Yup, that’s Amnesty International for you.
