2/ My friend Bob Bernstein, the founder and longtime Chair of Human Rights Watch, famously quit the organization over Roth's peculiar obsession with demonizing democratic Israel and siding with Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists.
3/ History will record that in his final year, Human Rights Watch chief Ken Roth was condemned worldwide — by journalists, academics, activists, authors, the Dutch special envoy on antisemitism, and a member of the House of Lords — for having justified antisemitism. #kenroth
4/ Less than two weeks after the smiling mouthpiece of Iran’s murderous mullahs said his regime executed gay people because of "moral principles," Ken Roth described him as a humanitarian with whom he is proud to have "dealings."
5/ Roth solicited a Saudi billionaire by promising NOT to defend gay rights; Roth had just reported on the billionaire’s enslavement of workers; Roth’s HRW had $223 million net assets—he didn't need the money. HRW announced a review of Roth’s leadership: theintercept.com/2020/03/02/hum…
6/ Ken Roth actually tweeted out this picture during a war to defend the Hamas terrorist organization whose Jihadi gunmen used a tunnel into Israel to kidnap Gilad Shalit & hold him incommunicado for five years in breach of international humanitarian law.
7/ Yes—Roth obscenely tried to pervert international law to justify Hamas terror tunnels into Israel (aggression under the UN Charter) which he knew were used to kidnap Israelis like Gilad Shalit (a war crime even per B'Tselem btselem.org/press_releases…)
1. 🇨🇦's @HonAhmedHussen announces federal “anti-racism” strategy led by CMAC's Laith Marouf. 2. World learns of his violence, support for terror & grotesque tweets calling to kill Jews & hating on many more. 3. Hussen asks CMAC to “rectify” the situation. 4. But CMAC is Marouf.
@fodartey's pull-out leaves two “consultants” running CMAC: Marouf & wife Gretchen King. They're united in hatred for democracies like Israel and Canada, and shilling for tyrants like Putin. That Minister @HonAhmedHussen is relying on them to “rectify” the scandal is outrageous.
Here is the Minister of Diversity's absurd attempt to shift the responsibility to the racists he and his department hired, absurdly relying on CMAC — a profitable family business run by grifters Mr. & Mrs. Marouf — as the solution to “rectify” the scandal:
China to UN: “The measures China has taken, including military drills in waters and airspace off China’s Taiwan, are necessary response to the visit by Speaker of the US House of Representative Nancy Pelosi and other provocations by external forces.”
“All these measures taken by China are justified, necessary and proportionate, and are in line with domestic and international laws as well as established international practices. The causes of the recent tensions in the Taiwan Strait are clear, so are the merits of the matter.”
“China is not the one that stirred up the trouble or created the crisis. These countries turned a blind eye to the fact that external forces have recently undermined China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Excellent. Sounds like another $133,000 government job for CMAC power couple Laith Marouf & Gretchen King-Marouf, proven experts in Russian disinformation.
Gretchen King-Marouf: “We don't have any context for the conflict in Ukraine. The war started when the Russian military made a move. We don't have any
knowledge based on western media of the soft war before, or the history of conflict, or...”
“...the history of Ukraine in relationship to the USSR. We only heard of Ukraine last week. So unfortunately if
you follow only Western media you're doing yourself a disservice.”
Mr. Minister: You are taking us for fools. You are calling on CMAC to answer “how they came to hire Laith Marouf”? Are you not aware that he and his wife Gretchen King *are* CMAC? That they and CMAC share the same address? That it was you and Marouf who announced this program?
@HonAhmedHussen You asking CMAC to answer “how they hired Laith Marouf” and how “they” plan on rectifying the situation, is as reassuring as O.J.'s announcement that he is looking for the killer of his wife.
Sir, YOU hired Laith Marouf.
Sir, YOU need to rectify the situation.
Sir, with all due respect, your statement is absurd. Your hiring of racist Laith Marouf to teach anti-racism to 🇨🇦 was a catastrophic failure. Rather than take responsibility, you are doing the opposite. Is there anyone in charge in Ottawa? My God.
Meet Laith Marouf, one of Canada’s most vile antisemites. The 🇨🇦 government gave him a $133,000 grant to build an “anti-racism strategy” for Canadian broadcasting. That’s like paying Jack the Ripper to run a women’s shelter. Top officials must take responsibility and resign.
This is a small sample of Canadian government-funded anti-racism and diversity training from expert Laith Marouf:
@JustinTrudeau, when we exposed Canadian-funded UNRWA teachers who glorify Hitler, you allowed that agency to pretend the problem was solved when they deleted the tweets. I hope you won’t apply the same approach and keep funding the antisemite Marouf after he deletes the tweets.
I am concerned this is a delaying tactic by Agnes Callemard & Donatella Rovera. The facts are clear: they empowered Russia to justify bombing Ukrainian civilians, and they harmed their own movement worldwide. They need to resign.
“Amnesty has said it stands by its report, but has now announced it will conduct an internal review of its processes in light of the controversy. A spokesperson told Irish Legal News that this would not amount to a reinvestigation of the issues.”
A statement from the organization reads: “Amnesty International will be conducting an in-depth, comprehensive review of the process leading up to the publication of the 4 August press release about violations of international humanitarian law by Ukrainian forces.”
