Meet Hind Khoudary. Tonight she's a star reporter for Channel 4. She's also famous for having informed on Rami Aman & other Gaza peace activists, getting Hamas to arrest them for the crime of doing a zoom with Israeli peace activists. Shame on you @Channel4 @C4Dispatches. 🧵🔽 /1

April 6, 2023: Gaza youth group founder Rami Aman holds a Zoom video call with 200 Israeli and Gaza peace activists to open a channel of communication between the two. He encourages participants to believe in peace and continue advocating for change. /2

April 10: New York Times says @Hind_Gaza informed on the peace activist: “Freelance Gaza journalist Hind Khoudary posted angry denunciations on Facebook of Mr. Aman and others on the call, tagging three Hamas officials including Mr. Al-Bozom, to ensure it got their attention.” /5

April 11: Long-time Human Rights Watch official Peter N. Bouckaert condemns Hind Khoudary for informing on Rami Aman to the Hamas regime — and removes her from his private Facebook group for journalists. “You should be ashamed of yourself,” Bouckaert writes to Khoudary. /6

Bouckaert: “It is disgusting that a so-called ‘journalist’ got an activist for dialogue arrested by Hamas. Hind was in a journalist group I run on Facebook and I kicked her out immediately. Conflicts are resolved through dialogue and understanding, not hatred.” /7 @Hind_Gaza

April 12: At about 2:00 am Gaza time, Hind Khoudary’s Facebook post of April 8th—which denounced Rami Aman to the Hamas regime by tagging three of its henchmen—is deleted. Khoudary subsequently reports that it was Facebook that deleted her post. /8

@AmnestyUK @C4Dispatches @Basement_Films @Hind_Gaza April 12: UN Watch calls for release of Rami Aman, pointing out that Hind Khoudary was affiliated with Amnesty and that her Facebook profile page—even at the time that she denounced Rami Aman—listed herself as working with Amnesty International.

@AmnestyUK @C4Dispatches @Basement_Films @Hind_Gaza @amnesty April 12:  @Hind_Gaza doubles down, justifies her actions, decries “normalization” with Israel, calls dialogue with Israeli peace activists a “crime,” “collaboration with enemies.” /11

April 12: Hind Khoudary lashes out at NYT journalist @IyadAbuheweila for reporting how she informed on Rami Aman to Hamas: “I hope New York Times starts asking people before they highlight them in their articles...” Her denuciation of NYT is then echoed by Hamas TV: /12

April 14: Palestinian entities in print, social media and videos attack UN Watch, PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Amal Hamad praises Khoudary for helping to imprison Rami Aman. “Dr. Hamad expressed her solidarity and full support for Al-Khudari in the face of this campaign...

“Dr. Hamad emphasized the national position of all Palestinians rejecting the issue of normalization, stressing that what Al-Khudari expressed is a national position that expresses the Palestinian national decision.”

“Dr. Hamad added that resisting normalization is important at all times, as it constitutes an effective Israeli weapon used to undermine our struggle for the rights of our people. Anti-normalization, at this time, is an urgent necessity of struggle to protect our cause and its principle.” /19

Two months after PA Minister Amal Hamad openly supported the act of informing on Gaza peace activists to get them jailed and tortured by Hamas, the 🇨🇦 government of Justin Trudeau began to publicly endorse her, again and again:

April 14: Anti-Israel activists in Gaza discover that Hind Khoudary—who handed over to Hamas peace activists for the crime of “normalization” with Israelis—had herself written for an Israeli magazine. Khoudary apologizes. /21

“Regarding the issue of +972, at the time of the return marches, you know how weak our Palestinian media was in the English language, and I was trying to convey the picture as much as I could because I felt that I had a very heavy responsibility. I was trying to write as much as I can, publish as much as I can.

“The communication between me and +972 was a Palestinian editor, and seriously, I only knew that +972 was independent, with the right of return against the Israeli occupation, and I thought that this thing was not normalization, especially since I publish my articles as I want and with the Palestinian narrative and no one changes the terms I use.”

She continued: “I was thinking at the time that communicating with institutions like B’Tselem was allowed, for example, and what encouraged me most was that there were many activists who communicated with them and wrote about their concerns. But after I delved deeper into the issue...”

Khoudary added: “I apologize for my articles that were published on +972, even though they were almost a year ago...” alwatanvoice.com/arabic/news/20…

April 17: Hind Khoudary, still bitter at he New York Times for reporting her role in the arrest, imprisonment and torture of the Gaza peace activists, calls out departing correspondent @adamrasgon. /22

She just deleted it—but lucky we kept the receipts:

Here are screenshots of tweets deleted now by Hind Khoudary—most of them denouncing any dialogue with Israeli peace activists as a crime. @Hind_Gaza, did you delete these so that news organizations won't be ashamed of your complicity with Hamas? /23

Important 🧵 documenting Hind Khoudary's support for and ties to terrorism. We ask @Channel4News @C4Dispatches @Basement_Films: Is this in compliance with your journalistic ethics and professional standards? /24

Shame on you @Channel4 @Channel4News @C4Dispatches @Basement_Films for giving a platform to a notorious Hamas shill who handed over Gaza peace activists to torturers, for which she was excommunicated even by a Human Rights Watch official who is extremely critical of Israel. /26

Hind Khoudary urged Hamas to “prove that it does not approve” of Gaza peace activists:

“I hope that summoning Rami Aman and his group is not just a summons. All normalization activities must stop and not expand further. I also hope that there will be an explanatory statement of the measures that will be taken to stop these activities. The government in Gaza must prove that it does not approve of the activities organized by Aman and his friends.” /27

After Hind Khoudary's April 2020 posts to Hamas about Gaza peace activist Rami Aman, they arrested, imprisoned and tortured him. She wrote:
“Oh God, how much I hate Rami Aman, I hate him so much, I really hate him.
He has no shame, this person, oh my God.” /28
