Numerous headlines in recent days have decried Israel's move to designate "Palestinian human rights groups" as terror organisations.

Unfortunately, much of the coverage gets the story backward, accepting at face value that these really are Palestinian human rights organisations.
Let's start with @Addameer. In 1969, a #PFLP terror cell blew up a Jerusalem supermarket. Two Jews, Leon Kanner and Eduard Jaffe, were killed. The @Jerusalem_Post reported that Yacoub Odeh "was instrumental... in planning the acts of sabotage and in preparing the explosives."
Yacoub Odeh is a convicted #terrorist.

Odeh is also an @Addameer board member. He has been described as a "retired teacher," "refugee" and "retired tour guide" and even a "gentle soul" in media reports, without any reference to his murderous past.

Odeh is not alone.
