A thread 🧵 my favourite Amnesty international scandals:
1. In 2010 the fired the head of their Gender Unit, Gita Sahgal after she criticized the NGO’s connections to Islamic extremism groups ImageImageImage
2. In 2015 Amnesty hosted a speaker, Dyab Abu Jahja, who has celebrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks, denied the Holocaust and claimed Europe had a “Jew worshiping cult”, and referred to gay people as “AIDS spreading f**gots” ImageImage
3. Holding Ukraine, not Russia, responsible for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and indiscriminate attacks on residential areas. ImageImageImage
Anyways amnesty has been lost in the sauce for over a decade by now and has become widely condemned by former employees and international law experts lansinginstitute.org/2022/08/15/amn…

How antisemitism works 🧵: an ever evolving conspiracy, mutating like a virus from century to century depending on what society views as it’s greatest hindrance. Jews being the diaspora group, always seen as “outsiders”. It targets Jews for either or both our faith and ethnicity
🧵 continued: the most prevalent form of antisemitism is scapegoating. Placing blame on Jews for things such as the black plague, economic crash, losing a war, a bad crop season etc… and justified by myths of Jewish “power” to be able do so, almost supernaturally.
Much of modern antisemitism stems from the most widely distributed antisemitic book in modern times. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It heavily influenced Nazi and Soviet antisemitism. And found to be an altered copy of a French political satire to fit anti Jewish rhetoric

Thread 🧵: double standards against Jews are a constant, and are generally just projections of the accuser. We are expected to behave differently than everyone else, expected to act as a monolith with one mind, unable to define our own discrimination…
🧵 continued: when a Jew or Israeli is being a piece of shit, the story goes “it’s not because he’s just a shitty person, it’s because he’s a Jew/Israeli” as if the ability to be a bad person is somehow only limited to one people group and not an individual’s own actions…
🧵 continued: we are expected to pass a litmus test in public and on university campuses to make sure we’re the “good Jews” who denounce our heritage, faith, community, connection to our homeland regardless of our political stance on the government or its actions and policies…

A thread🧵:Did you know “Free Palestine” was a Zionist slogan to free Eretz Israel (land of Israel), at the time the British Mandate of Palestine reviving the Roman name; from centuries of colonial rule under foreign empires when Jews were second class citizens in our homeland
🧵 cont: the original draft for the British Mandate was decided between Jewish Palestine, and Trans-Jordan, as before the area defined as “Palestine” had no defined borders or definition. Before the British it was part of five disunited sanjaks under the Ottoman Empire
🧵cont: Having been made a minority in our own home via expulsions, there were still nearly 100K Jews at the time the British established their mandate and called the it Palestine. Jews returning from diaspora did so on legally purchased land, and established cities like Tel Aviv

A thread 🧵: the claim that Israel is apartheid is not only false, it’s also hypocritical and a projection by anti Zionist states who themselves are vehement human rights violators
🧵 continued: In Israel there are no laws of ethnic segregation. There are 2 million Arabs in Israel with full Israeli citizenship, even representatives in the Knesset. That’s more than double the amount of Jews in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa ejiltalk.org/the-apartheid-…
🧵 continued: Under the Palestinian Authority, it is punishable by death to sell land to a Jew, Hamas has in their legal charter calling for a genocide of Jews, and antisemitism and incitement of violence is taught in Palestinian education ImageImageImageImage

A lot of misconceptions about Jewish culture come from Hollywood, where non Jews (mostly white) play Jewish characters while actually Jewish actors play the funny side characters. Which not only limits Jewish people as a whole, but also Ashkenazi Jews who don’t fit this ideal
Jewish culture isn’t just Yiddish or a religion, ALL diaspora groups have maintained strong cultural ties to our homeland, many communities still speaking Hebrew before it was “revived” to be a common language again. Jewish people are a culture, an ethnicity, and a nation.
Approximately 1/5 Jews is not Ashkenazi, another 1/5-2/5 is not solely of Ashkenazi descent, and even less Ashkenazi Jews fit this Americanized, assimilated, whitewashed mold which has become the most prevalent representation of Jews.
