As news of Elie Wiesel's passing reverberated around the world, there was an outpouring of tributes, quotations, and homages honoring his life and works. So too, however, did the news bring out a select few, seeking to vilify and defame his legacy.
Most notably, pro-Palestinian Jewish journalist Max Blumenthal...took to Twitter less than an hour after the announcement and said:
“Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists.”
He continued with a series of tweets posting links to articles citing that Elie Wiesel "denied Armenian genocide" and "repeatedly lauded Jewish settlers for ethnically cleansing Palestinians in East Jerusalem."
....
Among them Ali Abuminah, co-founder of the Palestinian advocacy site Electronic Intifada who also took to Twitter and wrote: “Those who praise Elie Wiesel without mentioning his deep ethnic hatred for Palestinians are as hypocritical and vacuous as he was."
Disgusting and shameful. Elie Wiesel is an honourable hero.
