@NGOmonitor: This is not serious journalism...

This is not serious journalism. 🧵

@NRC prefers to attack NGO Monitor rather than face the truth: Hamas’ own documents show how the terror group controlled, monitored, and exploited Gaza aid operations, including NGO networks involving @oxfamnovib. >>

.@NRC claims we provided no “hard evidence,” ignoring our extensive research – covered in @telegraaf article – on Hamas’ own documents describing an @oxfamnovib Gaza agriculture project in an area Hamas described as “security sensitive” due to its use of it for military activity.
The project was implemented by a local Hamas-linked contractor (Rai-Consult). >>

Why didn’t @NRC show interest in the evidence that Hamas operated a KGB-style system designed to infiltrate and control the entire aid sector in Gaza? These “guarantors” were embedded inside NGOs, including @oxfamnovib, and through them Hamas monitored and steered activity. >>

.@NRC argues NGO Monitor is “not independent” because government officials reference our research. In reality, we meet with officials from dozens of governments, including 🇳🇱, to improve funding accountability. That reflects the relevance of our work, not a lack of independence. >>

.@NRC should have scrutinized @oxfamnovib, a recipient of 🇳🇱 gov’t funding, for its role in projects and partnerships described in Hamas’ own documents. Instead, it repeats ad hominem claims while ignoring detailed evidence of Hamas’ control over NGO activity and aid operations. >>
