Elder of ZiyonThe site was created within weeks of October 7; I see an archived version from early December 2023.
While it includes a pro-forma demand that Hamas release all "civilian hostages", everything else is anti-Israel and its entire toolkit is for anti-Israel advocacy.
One telling section:
EDUCATING YOURSELF ON THE CRISIS IN GAZA
To be effective advocates, it’s crucial to educate ourselves about the Gaza crisis and its root causes. Amnesty International can be a source of information, but we also want to provide you with additional resources from other organisations. While we share these external resources, please note that Amnesty International may not endorse everything shared on these platforms. These organisations include:
- APAN (Australia Palestine Advocacy Network): APAN is a leading Australian organization dedicated to advocating for justice and human rights in Palestine. Visit their website for reports, webinars, and updates on the Gaza crisis.
- Eyes on Palestine: This platform provides a unique perspective on the Palestinian situation through art, culture, and multimedia projects. It offers a different way to understand the impact of the crisis.
- Stand With Palestine (Australia): This Australia-specific website offers a range of resources, including information on where to donate, how to contact your MPs, events across Australia, and legal aid support for the Gaza crisis.
- Palestinians Sharing Their Stories: Listening to the voices of Palestinians living through the crisis is an essential aspect of understanding the situation. Explore personal testimonies and experiences shared by Palestinians here.
- Loud Jew Collective: This organisation includes Jewish voices against oppression and for justice in Palestine. Their resources offer insights into the perspectives of Jews supporting the Palestinian cause.
- Jews Against Fascism: This group advocates for human rights and justice, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their materials provide an alternative viewpoint within the Jewish community.
- Jews Against the Occupation: This organisation advocates for a just and equitable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their resources provide alternative viewpoints within the Jewish community.
- The Jewish Council of Australia: The Jewish Council of Australia provides an independent, expert Jewish voice opposing antisemitism & racism and supporting Palestinian freedom & justice
They want you to "educate yourself" exclusively with anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda.
There is not even the pretense of asking people to learn about the conflict from both sides. There is nothing remotely objective in these sources.
Some of these "resources" are nothing but Instagram or Facebook pages, with no accountability and no information as to who runs them.
As far as I can tell, not one of there organizations ever issued a statement condemning Hamas for October 7.
The very first one, APAN, celebrates and promotes Palestinian terrorism, calling it "resistance." It explicitly says "all forms of Palestinian resistance," which includes Hamas kidnapping, raping and murdering Israeli women and children, are "legitimate" and legally justified.
"Eye on Palestine" incites against religious Jews by using a photo of them peacefully visiting the Temple Mount and calling them "settlers break[ing] into Al Aqsa Mosque."
To Amnesty, the only Jews worth listening to are the loud minority that position themselves as mainstream yet are condemned by most Jews, who themselves have no voice in Amnesty.
Many of these groups, like the "Loud Jew Collective," and "Jews Against Fascism," have no named members, no accountability, no public commitment to truth.
But they hate Israel and proud Jews, and that is the only criterion that Amnesty Australia requires to promote them.
