‘TNR’s hit man on HRW likes to talk about Muslim birthrates

The forthcoming New Republic, not yet available online, has a hit job on Human Rights Watch written by Benjamin Birnbaum. I am told this is the same Ben Birnbaum who wrote for the Cornell Sun a few years ago:

Lastly and most controversially, European nations must slow the relative growth of their Muslim minorities by diversifying their sources of immigration beyond the Muslim world and creating incentives for their women to, um, start making babies again.

That last part sounded bad, I know.

The Islamic Republic of France sounds worse to me.

Or there's this jokey-joke about that funny topic, torture:

"There are those, though, who believe that any pressure to make someone talk constitutes torture. It’s shocking to hear what some so-called human rights groups include in the category: Sleep deprivation? Exposure to cold
temperatures?? Loud rap music??? That’s not torture — that’s a Saturday night at Cornell!"

Birnbaum won a hasbara prize as an undergraduate. Zionism continues its war on Jewish intelligence, abetted by that leader of intellectuals, Marty Peretz.

  1. Its a real tragedy that people like this are given air time.

  2. “The Islamic Republic of France sounds worse to me.”

    Cry wolf..As for today, who’s having his name given to a huge boulevard in the French capital? Ben Gurion or Osama Baden Baden? ..

    And that’s a massive tragedy in its own right. Can you imagine what would have happened to Albert Einstein in contemporary politics, for being an outspoken opponent of Zionist militarism? His career as a scientist would effectively have been over before his breakthroughs would have come forward.

    Imagine what sort of Einsteins find themselves ground under the wheel of Zionist dogma today?

    All you have to do is substitute “black” or “Jew” for Muslim in these screeds to lay bare their racism.

    It is illegal under French constitution to make figures based on origins, races or religion.

    Hell, I don’t think Benjamin Birnbaum goes far enough. He should be calling on all good Zionists to oppose this anti-Semite who has called for the destruction of Israel:>). Nick Clegg is a far greater threat to Israel than a Europe entirely populated by Muslims could ever be.
