As we mourn the passing of the great Elie Wiesel, those whose sole life purpose seems to be to demonize Israel and the Jewish people immediately sprung into action to defame him in death.

Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists. pic.twitter.com/3bRTq4QDye — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) July 2, 2016

Elie Wiesel took $500,000 from hate preacher Pastor John Hagee, who has written that Hitler was a "half breed Jew" https://t.co/b7bRglxKL2 — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) July 2, 2016

Here's @adamshatz on how Elie Wiesel denied Armenian genocide & opposed memorializing gay & Roma Holocaust victims https://t.co/75IfXP6w5G — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) July 2, 2016

Elie Wiesel repeatedly lauded Jewish settlers for ethnically cleansing Palestinians in East Jerusalem: https://t.co/ApSzs57Wcw — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) July 2, 2016

Elie Wiesel went from a victim of war crimes to a supporter of those who commit them. He did more harm than good and should not be honored. — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) July 2, 2016

The vile Elie Wiesel helped Israel demonize Palestinian children while it was slaughtering 11 per day in 2014. https://t.co/zr03jjAWSq — Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) July 3, 2016

Elie Wiesel will be remembered by Palestinians for his racism and his propaganda services to their oppressors, ethnic cleansers and killers. — Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) July 3, 2016

While Israel carried out slow motion genocide in Gaza, Elie Wiesel didn't maintain his famous "silence." He loudly supported it. — Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) July 3, 2016

Those who praise Elie Wiesel without mentioning his deep ethnic hatred for Palestinians are as hypocritical and vacuous as he was. — Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) July 3, 2016

This won't be in any of the eulogies on Elie Wiesel https://t.co/0KTKLFUE0v pic.twitter.com/JmAz6FiVI9 — Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek) July 2, 2016

He supported ethnic cleansing and wholesale slaughter of Palestinians. These tributes are shameful. https://t.co/ALdoOS0D52 — Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek) July 2, 2016

Here is Elie Wiesel endorsing the illegal US invasion of Iraq. Calling him an advocate for peace is a blatant lie. https://t.co/F4CpSbMiGS — Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek) July 2, 2016

Elie Wiesel is dead, Holocaust survivor, moral witness, Palestine denier, Islamophobe racist. A decidedly mixed legacy. — Tikun Olam (@richards1052) July 2, 2016

Reza Aslan’s tweet links to this as evidence of Elie Wiesel’s “lies”:

Wiesel went "from being a great victim of war crimes to being an apologist for those who commit them" #pt https://t.co/hpSd09h4BH — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) July 2, 2016

Well, apart from the human rights of Palestinians, I guess. https://t.co/rKrw4IDPZ8 — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) July 2, 2016

This all speaks volumes about the moral standing of these haters, not Elie Wiesel.

And by showing their depths of hatred and moral depravity, their words are a testament to exactly why Elie Wiesel will be so greatly missed.
