It's Time to Treat Doctors Without Borders as a Terrorist Organization

End non-profit status for them and for any organization that funds them

Doctors Without Borders has a long history of collaborating with and defending terrorists. And even being terrorists. The issue came up just last month in relation to Hamas.

Its current attacks on America and collaboration with the Taliban are completely unacceptable. Doctors Without Borders' personnel are once again lying through their teeth, denying the facts put forward by US and Afghan personnel and covering up the use of medical facilities by the Taliban Jihadists as human shields.

This is the same tactic that we've seen with Hamas.

It's time to deal with Doctors Without Borders, a cynical name for an organization in bed with Islamic terrorists.

The acting governor of Afghanistan’s northern Kunduz province said Sunday that Taliban fighters had been routinely firing “small and heavy” weapons from the grounds of a local hospital before it was apparently hit by a U.S. airstrike over the weekend.

In an interview, Hamdullah Danishi said the Doctors Without Borders compound was “a Taliban base” that was being used to plot and carry out attacks across the provincial capital, Kunduz city.

“The hospital campus was 100 percent used by the Taliban,” Danishi said. “The hospital has a vast garden, and the Taliban were there. We tolerated their firing for some time” before responding.

Doctors Without Borders is lying and denying everything. The media is predictably taking the side of the extremist left-wing group. But the solution is obvious.

1. Treat Doctors Without Borders members just like ISIS recruits when it comes to international travel. At no point in time should they be allowed to travel to conflict zones since it is manifestly clear that they do so to aid terrorists. If they lie about their travel plans, they should go to jail.

2. End non-profit status for them and for any organization that funds them.

3. End any special status that they have when operating in conflict zones since they aren't medical personnel, just terrorist auxiliaries who were aiding the Taliban takeover of Kunduz.

.....It would appear many on the right anymore are doing likewise....

I would argue that the GOPe are on the left too.

Are they just being generic leftists or something even worse?

(Caveat: My last contact with them was 35 years ago.)

"Doctors Without Borders", or "Médecins Sans Frontières" as they are known in most of the world by their French name, was founded in Paris on 1971.

They are French, therefore they do everything differently. "Vive' la France!" They don't particularly like Americans or the British. All the Third World is oppressed and innocent. They are socialist. Good intentions count most of all.

On the positive side, they have some good, genuinely caring medical personnel who do help a lot on the local level. However, their world view disrupts a lot of the good they do.

Case in point - 1980-81, severe famine in East Africa, particularly NE Uganda (Karamoja). Relief workers from many organizations and countries cooperated to feed the starving. All of the organizations had a "food for work" policy. This policy had several purposes.

1)The work had to be onerous enough so that as soon as it was possible to survive on the local economy, people would leave the feeding centers to avoid the work.

2)The women were put to work collecting firewood for cooking and hauling water for drinking and making cornmeal porridge.

3)The men were assigned to projects digging latrines, making rainwater run-off catchment dams for local livestock and repair & upgrade of the dirt roads. The road work was absolutely essential so that the lorries transporting relief supplies could travel, especially in the rainy season.

Once the rains started, the road sections for which MSF ("Médecins Sans Frontières") was responsible turned into a quagmire and were almost impassible. Why?

"These poor people have nothing! How can we make them work?" had been the MSF mantra, the natural result of their world view.

Significant to note that, also on 4th, MSF was quoted with a totally pro-palestinian/anti-Israeli screed about wounded or disabled pali’s in Gaza.

Who does DWB think they are? A mosque?

[faithhopecharity]

they are either bought off by all that IslamoNazi money...like half of Congress... and of course like the current Occupancy in our WH....(tho he probably didn’t need to be bought off, he came that way I think)

but yes, the DWB has turned into a Nazi outfit, no matter how much good they may do they are working at murdering millions of innocent people with their sick Nazi propaganda too

we need bigger prisons or...
