UN accuses Italy of anti-migrant “smear campaign,” fostering “climate of hate”
Jihad Watch ^ | NOV 27, 2018 | BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Italy has stood against the hijrah, and is now being demonized as hateful and exclusionary for doing so by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. This is the standard accusation against any country which resists Islamization.

The UN is on an aggressive campaign to force Western nations to accept open borders. It devised the UN Migration Plan, which would hand over border control of sovereign states to the UN. The U.S., Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Australia have withdrawn from the Plan, and Italy will likely follow.

=================================================================================

“UN says Italy ‘criminalising’ NGOs,” ANSA, November 26, 2018:

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed concern for the “continued smear campaign in Italy against NGOs.” The new immigration measures proposed by the government as well as a climate of hate are threatening the rights of migrants in Italy, according to the UN.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed “concern” for the “continued smear campaigns against civil society organizations engaged in search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean” as well as the “criminalization of the work of migrant rights defenders”.

A group of UN experts said the Italian government, among other things, has made it practically impossible for NGO ships to continue to rescue migrants, which has caused a rise in drownings and disappearances. “Saving lives is not a crime. Protecting human dignity is not a crime,” they said.

Italian government must “change course.”

“The new measures and a climate of hate threaten migrants’ rights in Italy,” the UN experts said. They are “urgently calling on the government” to change course. “The tightening on migrant laws proposed by Italy will have a serious impact on their lives, and it is cause for serious concern,” the experts said.

“During the most recent electoral campaign, some politicians fuelled a public discourse unashamedly embracing racist and xenophobic anti-immigrant and anti-foreigner rhetoric. Such speech incites hatred and discrimination,” the experts said.

“Removing protecting increases vulnerability”

Since coming into power, the Italian government has implemented the anti-migrant and exclusionary measures it campaigned upon, the experts said. “Removing protection measures will increase migrants’ vulnerability. They will be at greater risk from traffickers and other criminal groups,” they said….

The criminal “NGO”s are human traffickers.

1) No one has a “right” to immigrate to another country.

2) If the sole objective of the “rescue” ships is to save lives then pick up those found at sea AND RETURN THEM TO LYBIA!

An utterly worthless organization, doing just the opposite of what it was created to do.

As I remember it, that is a change in attitude from earlier Italian attitudes.
Previously the Italians seemed to be content to let the Muslims land in Italy and then point to them the way to Germany, and other European countries, that had much better benefits.

When some of the European countries started to get overwhelmed they shut down the incoming mass immigration and Italy got the Muslim backup -similar to what is right now happening in Tijuana Mexico when our border gets shut down.

Looks like Italy's Ox got gored.- Tom

I had spoken to someone from Italy here in Canada. I had viewed the awful problems of Lampedusa. It is an island off the coast of Italy. Over 7000 migrants are encamped there. The government does not want them to infiltrate the mainland.

Sadly it seems this peaceful island of about 5000 people is overwhelmed. This though a fence separates the migrants from the area. Women dare not walk alone at night. Houses can not be left unlocked.

Learning that right is wrong, lies are truth, good is evil, is going to be a hard lesson and one that promises eventually an explosive ending, one way, or the other.

Repetition is not only seductive to opponents over a period of time, but gives advantage to the enemy who can keep the clock running and extend action time, free of all accountability anywhere and consequences coming from nowhere, except for a tolerable level of whining from the sheep, “ baa, baaa “.

What if a coalition of the willing countries of the world got together and declared war on the UN?

Another Island off Italy, Sicily, is also being detrimentally affected by the Muslim invasion.

What would be the point? Better to just ignore them and let them die from obscurity.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is not now, or ever has been, in favor of national borders or national sovereign rights. Their ‘job’ is to MOVE refugees SOMEWHERE! At one time, during the Cold War, this organization worked for WW2 Displaced Persons and for those fleeing the Iron Curtain.

Now, they are working for ECONOMIC REFUGEES, people in mass movements, encouraged by their native governments, moving from 3rd /4th World hell-holes to 1st World / rich World countries. The UN, an undoubtable supporter of a global governance with the UN at the top, wants to destroy nationalism and national borders. This is their goal and we must either fight them or surrender to them.

Lampedusa isn’t quite “off the coast of Italy”. It’s closer to “off the coast of Libya”, geographically.

Point taken here.

Sicily 125 miles from Lampedusa. Tunisia, North Africa is 70 miles only. Small wonder they have a problem with migration.

Your post #12.

The mayor of Palermo, Sicily, says the city is no longer an Italian city.

I did some checking with the tabloid Daily Mail. Seems the mafia does exist there and now the thuggish new arrivals have their own version. Violence in the offing. Nobody deserves this. President Trump must be well aware of all this.

So I guess all the rapes throughout Europe and knife attacks in London are a climate of love.
