👉Thread on @amnesty branding Israel an “apartheid” state. The 211-page report amounts to a malicious effort to undermine Israel’s legitimacy and embolden those who wish to see the world’s only Jewish state destroyed. Here’s how #AmnestyLies
1/8

Amnesty traces Israel’s alleged crimes back to 1948 when the State was founded. To be perfectly clear, the assertion that Israel was born and lives in sin is a thinly veiled effort to question Israel’s legitimate right to exist.

At a time when Jews are the targets of violent antisemitism, Amnesty takes issue with the existence of a Jewish state created to safeguard Jewish people. @amnesty can’t claim moral authority as a human rights organization while denying Jews their basic right to security.

Curiously, Amnesty couldn’t find space in a 211-page report to acknowledge Israel is a democracy that grants full rights to its Arab citizens. It certainly couldn't concede that there is currently an Arab Muslim nationalist party in Israel’s governing coalition

It ignores that Israel offers more rights to Palestinians than most other states in the region. Google the treatment of Pals in Syria (thousands detained, tortured & murdered) or Lebanon (restrictions on owning property, getting educated & entering certain professions).
5/8

Amnesty certainly couldn’t bring itself to offer context for Israel’s security policies. No mention of the Arab nations that launched a war of annihilation against the newly formed State that would seek to finish what Hitler had started.
6/8

And there is barely a passing mention of the terror organizations that call for Israel’s destruction and the thousands of Israelis who have lost their lives as a result.

It’s 2022. Israel's existence is not up for debate. @amnesty's credibility, on the other hand, should be up for discussion for fueling malicious lies that endanger the lives of Israelis...who I will remind Amnesty, are also humans with rights.
