Almost everyone talking about events in Jerusalem - even tragically some Jewish community organisations - either do not know the basic facts or are just jumping at a chance to bash Israel. 1/4
The Arabs facing eviction - did not have to move. They are squatters - living on land owned by Jews - who were offered by the courts an opportunity to have their tenancy protected. 2/4
They rejected the court compromise. They chose to politicise their situation and turn it into a propaganda stunt - knowing global anti - Israel activists don't care what the truth is. 3/4
Tragic that even in a case as clear cut as this - with legitimate Jewish ownership and accommodating courts on one side - and a few people out to cause trouble on the other - some western politicians and media still choose to lie and smear the Jews.
Some things never change. 4/4

HRW has just released another report about Israel.
It is nothing new - just a politicised NGO - obsessing and lying about Israel.
Predictably media outfits like @guardian rush to spread the hate
I have 3 things to say:
1. Stupid.
This is Khulood Badawi. She works for @hrw and helped write the report. She calls Israel 'Apartheid' just as - being an Israeli Arab - she votes in an Israeli election.
This is just hate driven by stupidity.
2. Liars
Badawi also got caught spreading false images and was FIRED from the @UN (h/t @HonestReporting)
HRW's report is written by Israel-hating politicised liars who spread fake images.
Global anti-Israel umbrella group is a front for Iran and radical Islamic terrorists. Politicians and activists caught standing side by side with Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad

Shocking new research exposes that a global 'boycott Israel' umbrella group is a front tied to Iran, Hamas, IJ and Hezbollah that seeks to spread its toxic ideology in the west. 2/10
The group is run by a Syrian pro-Assad Sheikh - Yousef Abbas - a radical Islamist - who is constantly surrounded by Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. 3/10
'Academia is the epicentre of global antisemitism'
Networks of toxic academics are spreading anti-Zionist antisemitism on campus - which means our tax money is at work - helping to spread hate against Jews.
Thread 1/9
⬇️⬇️
Jewish students on campus are second class - students who can study - providing they do not provoke. Jewish students are abused, tolerated or protected - but never equal.
and the key libels against Israel - the main lies against Zionism - are all legitimised by academia 2/9
The research exposes academic families -
Professors who pass down their bias and hate to PhD candidates, who then go on to teach and do the same
They pass on an anti-Israel obsession. This is how the network grows and spreads from campus to campus. 3/9
Boycotting Jews is as old as antisemitism.
There is nothing new about BDS - which creates imaginary rules and hoops for Jews to jump through - threatening to punish them when they fail.
Thread
⬇️⬇️
Those protecting the BDS movement who say this is about freedom to choose are hiding behind a straw man.
Nobody is arguing the concept of boycott is wrong.
They are saying *THIS* boycott is clearly discriminatory and antisemitic. Which it is.
Boycotting, divesting and sanctioning Jews has been going on for 1000s of years.
Jewish communities were always shunned, ostracised and punished.
There is nothing new about the BDS movement at all. It is plain old antisemitism.
