Israel’s kidnapped children ignored, Hamas excused, Arab-backed narratives shield tyrants while Jews face sanctioned brutality.
The message from global reactions is chillingly clear: kidnapping is condemned—unless the victims are Jewish. The outrage surrounding the October 7, 2023 mass abductions of Israeli civilians and children stands in grotesque contrast to the sympathetic response toward the capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces.
The same activists who ripped down posters of Jewish hostages, vandalized images of toddlers, and smeared families with Nazi caricatures now posture as guardians of “international law” when a socialist dictator faces arrest. In their worldview, Jewish children are demonized, while corrupt tyrants are recast as victims.
Nowhere is this hypocrisy clearer than in the conduct of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. She thundered that Maduro’s arrest dealt a “lethal blow” to international law—yet offered “context” to the slaughter and kidnapping of Jews as it unfolded. The law, it seems, is animated to protect dictators, not babies in cribs.
Thirty-five kidnapped Israelis were children—infants, toddlers, and teenagers torn from their homes. Among them were Kfir Bibas, just ten months old, and his four-year-old brother Ariel Bibas—later murdered by their captors. They were never charged, never tried; they were executed for the crime of being born Jewish.
Yet calls to release kidnapped children were branded “unacceptable,” while demands to shield Maduro from trial are framed as principled. Albanese even rushed to publish a defense of Hamas, appropriating the infamous slogan “J’Accuse,” while condemning appeals to free abducted minors.
This is not law. It is moral inversion. Any doctrine that scolds the prosecution of mass murderers while rationalizing the abduction and killing of Jewish children is barbarism masquerading as justice. Spare the crocodile tears. A system that protects tyrants and abandons Jewish babies has forfeited every claim to legitimacy.
