The same group that always cites the Palestinian Ministry of Health now wants you not to know that it exists, is responsible for vaccinating its population & has rejected Israeli help. See this thread for key facts: https://t.co/GmnBe20xrs

Amnesty just wants you to hate Jews.

Founded in 1961, Amnesty built a reputation for supporting prisoners of conscience who were non-violent.

While some in the global NGO still do good work, Amnesty has lost direction, often supporting antisemites, misogynists, homophobes & terrorists.

In 2010, Gita Sahgal, then head of the organization's gender unit, was fired for exposing Amnesty's shameful ties & support for Britain's most famous Taliban advocate, former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. https://t.co/XYSqQpeRMX
Supporting terrorists has been a recurring theme with Amnesty. In 2015, a senior employee of Amnesty International was found to have undeclared private links to men alleged to be key players in a secretive network of global Islamists, revealed The Times. https://t.co/lH163tEZlM
Christopher Hitchens wrote that Amnesty’s actions backing the Taliban & against whistleblower & gender unit chief Gita Sahgal exemplified the organization’s “degeneration and politicization,” reflecting “a moral crisis that has global implications.” https://t.co/RlP5wpj6Sb
In 2015 Amnesty's speaker called the 9/11 attacks “sweet revenge.” He said Europe made “the cult of the Holocaust & Jew-worshiping its religion” & he labeled gays “AIDS-spreading faggots.” Part of Hezbollah, he questions the existence of Nazi gas chambers. https://t.co/raKHZA8KSy
Amnesty backed the pro-Taliban group "Cage," which promotes an ideology that mocks the values of tolerance—especially towards women. Amnesty took research from them, shared logos, co-produced briefing papers & co-signed letters to the government.

Rights backer Sigrid Rausing criticized Amnesty for "blurring" its original mission. The Economist: "A group which devotes more focus to rights abuses in Britain & America than those in Belarus & Saudi Arabia cannot expect to escape doubters' scrutiny." https://t.co/U9uHaUH6fm
In 2015 Amnesty justified hosting an anti-gay Holocaust denier to protest Islamophobia—due to "the significance of this issue" & as it "was not an endorsement of any of the views of the individual speaker." Yet in 2018 they saw fit to ban London's Jews. https://t.co/lS8iG9cMxz
Former Amnesty prisoner of conscience @MaajidNawaz lamented the NGO's fall: "If ever there was proof that the regressive left rot is spreading into the core of our liberal culture, look how it has politicized this once bright beacon of human rights." https://t.co/fRGdOpXTj5

I think @SamAdlerBell in his quest to be the contrarian on Fauci gets several things wrong here. 1/


First, the failure last year actually was driven by the White House, the #Trump inner circle. Watch what's happening now, the US' scientific and public health infrastructure is creaking back to life. 2/

I think Sam underestimates the decimation of many of our health agencies over the past four years and the establishment of ideological control over them during the pandemic. 3/

I also am puzzled why Tony gets the blame for not speaking up, etc. Robert Redfield, Brett Giroir, Deb Birx, Jerome Adams, Alex Azar all could have done the same. 4/

Several of these people Bob Redfield, Brett Giroir, Alex Azar were led by craven ambition, Jerome Adams by cowardice, but I do think Deb Birx and Tony tried as institutionalists, insiders to make a difference. 5/
