THREAD:

@Amnesty has launched a fresh round of biased anti-Israel charges.

Let's unpack them 🧵...

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Calling on all who are "pro-Palestine" to speak out against Hamas's torture of Palestinians: Newly released footage from Hamas’s captured archives reveals the extent to which the terror group’s regularly documented violence against political opponents is a central component of its rule over the Gaza Strip. This is just a tiny example of how Hamas tortured and terrorized Palestinians in the coastal enclave who wanted a better future before October 7. The destruction of political life, economic prospects, social cohesion, hope, and justice were always justified with “resistance” slogans against Israel.

The supposed “resistance” organization that is so widely supported and celebrated by diverse segments in the “pro-Palestine” movement tortured and murdered Palestinians, made them aid-dependent, squandered their resources, destroyed their national project, got them dragged into needless wars that got tens of thousands killed, pushed the Israeli society and electorate further to the right, undermined Palestinian sovereignty and unity, and aligned the Palestinians with the worst combination of terror groups and regimes such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I challenge Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim advocacy groups and organizations in the diaspora, particularly in the United States and Europe, to make statements that condemn and decry the torture and killing of the Palestinian people in Gaza by Hamas. Palestinian lives matter, and not just when Israel harms them. There is an avalanche of evidence, photos, videos, and details from during and before the Gaza war showing the extent to which Hamas tortures and kills Palestinians. If those who proclaim to support Gaza refuse to speak out against Islamist terrorism, you are not a friend of the Palestinian people. Worse, you prove the claim of “no Jews, no news” and that you likely are motivated by implicit antisemitism.

Speaking out against Hamas does not take away from the horror that one feels witnessing the disaster in the Gaza Strip and the horrendous conduct of Israel’s current government and armed forces throughout the territory. These things are not in opposition to each other – after all, it was Prime Minister Netanyahu who benefited greatly from Hamas’s rule, which he supported through the Qataris and used to keep the Palestinians divided and expand his far-right designs to deny the Palestinians dignity and statehood.

Hamas and its proponents are the enemy of the Palestinian people – it’s time for those in the Western world who are still in doubt to finally reject this fascist organization that has harmed the Palestinians in Gaza and beyond for decades. There is more to advocating for Palestinians & their rights than simply being anti-Israel.

Hi Rachel. As per your formal complaint, here is my public explanation as to the errors, important omissions and misleading statements in your video (and apologize for the delay — I was buried in election-related deadlines)

In no particular order:

While piecing together their lives and where to start again, they did what came naturally. Football.

The beautiful game will not be taken from us by antisemites and Jew hatred. It will be a part of lifting us from the darkness. 🇮🇱⚽️ #Amsterdam #AmsterdamPogrom #Israel #Jewish

[Nate Hershenfeld @NateDH]

This is my grandfather’s 1947 football team in Erding (about 30 minutes NE of Munich). After being released from the concentration camps, many of the surviving Jews lived in displaced persons camps throughout Europe…

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

What happened in Amsterdam against Jewish/Israeli football fans is despicable antisemitism & terrorism concealed in "pro-Palestine" solidarity by criminal thugs who keep harming, undermining, weakening & sabotaging Palestinians & their aspirations. Speak up against violent hate!

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

Islamist Telegram groups planned the planting of "Palestinian" flags in the areas where Israelis and Jews were staying in Amsterdam, expecting them to remove at least one.

Their plan was to manufacture an excuse to carry out a pogrom.

All premeditated.

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

"Yes, but he helped a Jew"

Read that again

[Rachel Moiselle @RachelMoiselle]

Already people are justifying what happened by saying that some Israeli fans took down a Palestinian flag from a house in Amsterdam.

Let me make this clear: an Israeli flag hanging outside a house in the centre of Dublin would not stay up for an hour. That would not give Israelis or Jews a right to hunt Muslims down, spit on them, beat them up, kick them, stab them, run them over with a car, or throw them into the River Liffey.

Antisemites always find any excuse to justify violence against Jews, but this one is frankly pathetic.

#AmsterdamPogrom

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The Amsterdam pogrom was premeditated violence against Jews.

But don’t take my word for it.

The groups that organized it announced the “protest” themselves, on Instagram, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

Europe is failing to protect Jews from premeditated violence, and the media is whitewashing those failures.

Europe has failed its Jews before. What will make this time different?

[Nate Hershenfeld @NateDH]

A horrific night for European football... and seeing some people once again blame the Jews for being the victims of a premeditated attack is ghastly.

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

This man cried out “I’m not Jewish” right before he was set upon by this pack of Islamist-Nazi thugs

They screamed “You are Jewish You are Jewish” as they bashed him

And these sickos then have the gall to claim this is not a pogrom

[Evan Gottesman @EvanGottesman]

I've seen videos of *some* Israelis tearing down Palestinian flags in Amsterdam.

In January, I watched a few guys in my corner of Queens tear down hostage posters.

Somehow, I didn't lead a violent rampage through NYC. I didn't beat anyone up. And I didn't steal any passports.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

These posts are the perfect demonstration of the information war being fought over Gaza. People will pick which one they believe, based on their pre-existing biases.

Some factors to consider:

1. Hamas have a long track record of lying. They have been caught faking numbers killed in Israeli strikes time, and time, and time again. The pattern is the same: hide in civilian location > draw air strike > immediately release grossly inflated fatality numbers. This is basically their entire strategy at this point. You may take at face value the numbers of Hamas, a group of rapist terrorists, as Mehdi does, but that is entirely a matter for you.

2. Where Hamas cannot prove their alleged numbers of casualties, the IDF have repeatedly shown photos of the precision targeting they have carried out using warheads that give a very small blast. You may recall the strike a few weeks ago where they took out just two rooms in a school being used by Hamas. It also seems very unlikely at this point that they would revert to using large munitions in Gaza, when, frankly, they are needed elsewhere right now.

3. Everything about the tweets on the left is suspect. Actually read them. There is almost no factual information there whatsoever. It is a pure appeal to emotion. It’s a “massacre”. At a “school” (clearly implying the targets were children). “Horror” (twice). “Revulsion”. “The only image I can bear”. “Scattered bodies and corpses”. The photograph is devoid of context or identifying location - it could have been taken anywhere at any time. There is no substantive fact whatsoever - not even an attempt. Nothing but emotional manipulation.

4. The IDF post shows the whole problem with trying to fight this information war. It’s precise. It’s factual. It’s unemotional. It’s boring. And that’s entirely the problem. The first two posts are designed to rile you up and make you think with emotion rather than rationality. The IDF post is, essentially, saying “Hamas’ numbers cannot be right due to the size of missile we used and the fact we followed a clear targeting process”. But who amongst us, when confronted with an emotional situation, responds to rationality? It’s like saying to your other half, “Calm down, you’re overreacting!” How does that go? It’s an impossible situation.

But here’s the kicker. We don’t know which side is correct. We’re not there. My knowledge and experience suggests me one way, but you may feel differently. My only suggestion is that you look at both sides and work out which one is most likely to be trying to manipulate you. ‘Appeal to emotion without evidence’ is the single biggest red flag for disinformation.
