The Red Cross (@ICRC) met with AWDA, a Gaza-based NGO with documented ties to the PFLP.
This is not the first terror-linked org ICRC met with while doing nothing to help the plight of the ๐ฎ๐ฑ hostages. ๐งต>
AWDA (formerly UHWC) is identified by Fatah as an official PFLP โaffiliateโ and by a USAID-engaged audit as โthe PFLPโs health organizationโ. >
On #InternationalWomensDay let's note the continued refusal of NGOs to recognize sexual violence, abductions, and murders of Israeli women, such as Shiri Bibas. Instead theyโve remained silent, actively denied these crimes, or justified the October 7 atrocities as "resistance." ๐งต>
Over 100 NGOs - including โfeministโ orgs such as Palestinian Feminist Collective and the Palestine Feminist Movement dismissed the reports of sexual violence as โIsraeli propagandaโ>

The reported sanctions against the IDFโs Netzah Yehuda Battalion by the @StateDept is the result of a coordinated campaign by DAWN and other extreme political NGOs. DAWN has an extensive list of targets and wonโt stop after an IDF unit or few individuals. >
DAWN is a US-based tax-exempt organization that has intensified its legal attacks against Israeli officials since October 7. DAWN has officials connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as to the most notorious antisemitic and anti-Israel groups.
.@gekaminskyโs article draws from our latest research on DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now) โ a US-based NGO committed to demonizing ๐ฎ๐ฑ, which has amped up its lawfare attacks against Israeli officials since Oct 7. >
DAWN Executive Director Sarah Leah Whitson has a long history of antisemitic rhetoric. After the Oct 7 massacre she referred to โIsraeli ISISโ and tweeted, โHamas dismantled is a bad end gameโฆThe question we need answered is how we end Israeli occupation and apartheid." >

Breaking: @gekaminskyโs article in @dcexaminer unveils our exposรฉ on a lack of due diligence by @StateDept. The Gaza-based Phoenix Center for Research & Field Studies - twice a @StateDept grantee - appears to show material support for terrorism & collabs w/ terrorist leaders. > 2/ The Phoenix Center ostensibly conducts research that assists Palestinian communities in addressing their "political, economic, and social needs" & is receiving two grants totaling $90,000 in State Department funding for 2023/2024. Their website reveals significant concerns >

1/ Article by @LahavHarkov@Jerusalem_Post: PCHR - one of the NGOs leading international legal attacks against ๐ฎ๐ฑ - openly expressed support for โarmed struggleโ against Israel.
โ๏ธIn 2023 the org received funding from the European Union and Switzerland.
Read on for more ๐ 2/ Immediately following the recent #Israel-#Gaza conflict the Gaza-based PCHR publicly declared its affirmation of the "right of the Palestinian people to resist the occupation by all available means, including armed struggle." This NGO is funded by the ๐ช๐บ, ๐จ๐ญ, ๐ณ๐ด, and ๐ฎ๐ช.
.@WashingtonPost alleges the IDF targeted civilians in #Nablus bc surfaced videos "don't clearly show whether the man [they targeted] had a gun or fired.โ Terror-designated @DCIPalestine, quoted by the Post, admits the same videos show a Palestinian man shooting at the soldiers.>
.@DCIPalestine's own report states the IDF shot at a gunman - but changed their tone when quoted in the @washingtonpost: โ'Israeli military rules of engagement have shifted over the past few years to permit live fire where no threat is posed to Israeli forces.'โ

1/ Our new 80-page report on the links between 6 Palestinian NGOs designated by @gantzbe in 2021 and the PFLP gives lie to the claim by European funders that there is โno evidenceโ of such ties >> 2/ Irrespective of the information possessed by the Israeli gov't, there is overwhelming, publicly available evidence that ties these NGOs to the PFLP. On its own, this should have been enough of a reason for European governments not to fund and/or partner with the NGOs.
We are LIVE at the @KnessetT - NGO Monitor President @GeraldNGOM is presenting at a discussion hosted by Minister of Diaspora Affairs @AmichaiChikli on the findings of the ministryโs annual report on #antisemitism. @KnessetT@GeraldNGOM@AmichaiChikli@IrwinCotler .@GeraldNGOM: As @AmichaiChikli said, it's tens of millions every year, and over the years, it's more than hundreds of millions of euros per year. I want to bring a few examples to demonstrate the exploitation of the moral framework of human rights and int'l law.

Former @HRW Executive Director @KenRoth was denied a fellowship position at @Harvard University, reportedly due to his โanti-Israel bias.โ
๐ดHere are 10 blatant examples of Rothโs agenda of demonization >>>
1/ July 2021: Roth blamed Israel for antisemitic incidents in the UK. After intense criticism, Roth deleted his tweet, claiming he was โmisunderstood.โ

1/ BREAKING: The @UN_HRC permanent Commission of Inquiry on Israel released its first report. The biased report reflects the #UNHRC's obsession with attacking #Israel: it ignores context, makes false racism claims and minimizes the role of terror groups. 2/ Most of this report repeats language from previous UN documents, such as the discredited Goldstone report and an #UNRWA fundraising appeal. The cited UN reports in turn, are largely based on unverified claims from activist NGOs.
1/ Today's article by @CNN alleging Israel is responsible for the killing of #ShireenAbuAkleh relies heavily on claims by "expert" Chris Cobb-Smith. For 2 decades @CobbSmith collaborated with NGOs to advance a venomous anti-Israel agenda.
2/ During the 2009 Gaza conflict, Cobb-Smith worked with @amnesty to circulate misleading claims about the operation and the IDF. He falsely asserted that the IDF used white phosphorous โin an illegal manner.โ
1/@TheRightsForum is demanding Dutch universities force their staff to list interactions with Israeli universities, institutions, businesses; Jewish groups with no ties to Israel; and organizations that support Israel.
Just another "anti-Israel" smokescreen for antisemitism.
2/Targeted groups include: NGO Monitor, @NCAB_NL, @TheIHRA, @BnaiBrith, and @CJO_NL
The Rights Forum is a Dutch NGO that claims to focus on "knowledge and finding solutions in Int'l law on the PA-IL conflict". That's not what they're really about though -

1/5 Here's Agnes Callamard, head of @Amnesty International, sitting next to the heads of 3 PFLP-linked NGOs and discussing how best to pursue BDS and lawfare against Israel (screenshot from Wattan News Agency) 2/5 On her left is director of @alhaq_org Shawan Jabarin. Jabarin has been arrested multiple times and has been convicted on terror charges. Israelโs Supreme Court labeled him โDr. Jekyl and Mr. Hydeโ for hiding his terror connections behind โhuman rightsโ activism.
Weโve received leaked copies of an embargoed @Amnesty report, which is joining the NGO apartheid attack against Israel. Here are some initial points, so you donโt 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 โapartheid.โ Amnesty has a rich history of antagonism toward Israel & Jews, with antisemitic incidents, #BDS campaigns, #lawfare, and other forms of demonization.

Yet another @hrw report accusing Israel of war crimes
As always, no coherent methodology or fact-finding standards.
HRW cherry-picked 3 incidents that fit their predetermined, long-standing political narrative.
Follow along for their blatant falsehoods/omissions: 1/5
.@hrw relies on โeyewitness accountsโ to determine
Hamas/PIJ presence and membership.
But Hamas warned Gazans not to tell NGOs/media about rocket sites and tunnels.
Of course HRW assumes their getting all the facts. 2/5
