Israel Haters Trample On Elie Wiesel (Updated)

As we mourn the passing of the great Elie Wiesel, those whose sole life purpose seems to be to demonize Israel and the Jewish people immediately sprung into action to defame him in death.

Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists. pic.twitter.com/3bRTq4QDye

Elie Wiesel went from a victim of war crimes to a supporter of those who commit them. He did more harm than good and should not be honored.

The vile Elie Wiesel helped Israel demonize Palestinian children while it was slaughtering 11 per day in 2014. https://t.co/zr03jjAWSq

Elie Wiesel will be remembered by Palestinians for his racism and his propaganda services to their oppressors, ethnic cleansers and killers.

While Israel carried out slow motion genocide in Gaza, Elie Wiesel didn't maintain his famous "silence." He loudly supported it.

Those who praise Elie Wiesel without mentioning his deep ethnic hatred for Palestinians are as hypocritical and vacuous as he was.

He supported ethnic cleansing and wholesale slaughter of Palestinians. These tributes are shameful. https://t.co/ALdoOS0D52

Here is Elie Wiesel endorsing the illegal US invasion of Iraq. Calling him an advocate for peace is a blatant lie. https://t.co/F4CpSbMiGS

Elie Wiesel is dead, Holocaust survivor, moral witness, Palestine denier, Islamophobe racist. A decidedly mixed legacy.

Reza Aslan’s tweet links to this as evidence of Elie Wiesel’s “lies”:

Wiesel went "from being a great victim of war crimes to being an apologist for those who commit them" #pt https://t.co/hpSd09h4BH

This all speaks volumes about the moral standing of these haters, not Elie Wiesel.

And by showing their depths of hatred and moral depravity, their words are a testament to exactly why Elie Wiesel will be so greatly missed.
