We’ve received leaked copies of an embargoed @Amnesty report, which is joining the NGO apartheid attack against Israel. Here are some initial points, so you don’t have to slog through all 211 pages. More in-depth analysis to come. 1/8 ---> 
For 2+ years, dozens of NGOs and their UN allies have campaigned using pseudo-reports to accuse Israel of “apartheid.” Amnesty has a rich history of antagonism toward Israel & Jews, with antisemitic incidents, #BDS campaigns, #lawfare, and other forms of demonization.

Unsurprisingly, the report consists of a warmed-over mixture of false/distorted factual and legal claims from previous NGO and UN publications. A year after the @HRW version, which is virtually identical, Amnesty jumps on the bandwagon to boost the apartheid hate campaign. 3/8
Amnesty constructs an imaginary narrative of the conflict: no terror infrastructure in Gaza (just Israel being “ruthless”); “peaceful protesters,” not rioters in “mixed cities” in May 2021; terror links of Palestinian NGOs are erased. 4/8
The “legal” analysis looks like a repeat of invented and confused definitions, created for Israel alone, offered by @HRW. Both NGOs mix up concepts like state vs. individual responsibility and the status/relevance of various int’l treaties. See ngo-monitor.org/reports/aparth…

Make no mistake. Amnesty wants to use sanctions, boycotts, arrests of Israeli officials to attack Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. Much of the Arab world moves to peace with Israel; Amnesty wants a return to the Cold War, state boycotts, and Soviet propaganda. 6/8
The purpose is to characterize the right of Jews to sovereign equality in their historic homeland as a violation of the intl' legal order. The overarching political objective is to erase and subsume the nation-state of the Jewish people into a single state of Palestine. 7/8
By attaching its brandname to dressed-up nonsense, @amnesty counts on the echo chamber of journalists, UN officials, diplomats & NGO partners to repeat the slogans and lies automatically. But there is nothing new here and it shouldn’t be treated as such. 8/8
