Forcefield’s Non-Agenda Driven Human Rights

What do we mean by non-agenda driven human rights? It means that Forcefield fights human rights abuses without the parameters of any political or organizational limitations or restraints. Unlike almost all other self-described human rights organizations, Forcefield is not beholden to political groupings, left or right, which would include issues that we’re “supposed to” support or oppose. We are most definitely not biased against Israel, India, or the United States as are those other groups. Even the most prominent among them ignore the human rights atrocities Forcefield fights against Bangladesh’s Hindus, national minorities fighting against Pakistani occupation (the REAL occupation; and others. Many of them prefer to savage Israel, India, and the United States without substance, and we on the other hand see them as bulwarks for freedom. Neither is Forcefield limited by organizational constraints other than the conditions of our 501c3 status.

"Agenda-driven human rights" misappropriates large grants and small donations. It places a political agenda first, human rights a distant second. Agenda-driven human rights places unfair and inaccurate burdens and culpability on the United States of America, assumes Israel is wrong and justifies opposition to both nations regardless of its form or unfairness, and adopts the position and presumptions of those anti-democratic forces with the use of ideology and the misuse of the concept of intersectionality. Agenda driven human right assumes that people with only one ideology or set of positions can bring about justice. Agenda-driven human rights stands shoulder to shoulder with the human rights violators. Finally, our non-agenda human rights organization outright rejects anyone that calls or incrementally and de factofor the destruction of Israel, India, or the United States as free and independent nations.

Forcefield is non-agenda driven. We reject those assumptions and believe they often prevent human rights victims from getting relief and strengthen and encourage the victimizers. Forcefield is most emphatically not anti-US, not anti-Israel, and not “anti” anything else except the denial of human rights to people regardless of faith or other a priori category. For us, political correctness and what some try and pass for human rights has nothing to do with what we will take on. The objective severity of the violations and the lack of those to defend victims will determine where we choose to make our stand.

Our work has been characterized as being a “voice for the voiceless,” those human rights victims who do not receive the help and attention of the human rights industry: Hindus in Bangladesh; national (and predominantly Muslim) groups forcibly incorporated into Pakistan and whose nations were divided by British writ; and most recently, Afghans who because of their support for human rights, gender equality, and the US-led coalition are targets of the current Afghan government and in imminent danger of abduction and worse.

Human rights freed from its bias; human rights freed from knee-jerk anti-US bias, anti-Israel bias, anti-India bias; human rights freed from a disturbing penchant to excuse or ignore anti-Jewish and anti-Hindu bias; human rights freed from its penchant to locate the cause of these problems in the United States.
