Amnesty Ireland's love for the Muslim Brotherhood



Amnesty Ireland

  

Amnesty at Dublin City University promotes a talk by Neturei Karta, 23 Feb 2011.
Why are Amnesty promoting hate-filled religious lunatics?



I miss the old Amnesty, the one that was about prisoners of conscience.



Hamas executes people without trial, Sept 2022.
Amnesty Ireland and Trocaire, who have opinions on literally everything in Israel, decline to tweet about it.



Colm O'Gorman of Amnesty Ireland appears in March 2022 at a Sinn Fein event attacking Israel.
Happy to appear at an event run by the terrorist group Sinn Fein, he is also happy to appear on a platform with the PA dictatorship and the PFLP linked groups Addameer and Al Haq.
Amnesty is a sick organisation.

Founded by Nazi collaborators

It is interesting that both Amnesty International (worldwide) and Amnesty Ireland were founded by Nazi collaborators.



Sean MacBride, co-founder of Amnesty International, was a Nazi collaborator.
He served as International Chairman of Amnesty International 1965-74.

After the war, Seán MacEntee writes with anger about Sean MacBride's wartime role.

Justin Moran

As at 2012, former Sinn Fein activist Justin Moran was Communications Co-ordinator at Amnesty Ireland.

Amnesty's choice of him as its public face reveals a lot about its prejudices and blind spots on human rights.




Justin Moran, Communications Co-ordinator at Amnesty Ireland, was formerly (as at 2007) a prominent member of the human rights abusing group Sinn Fein. He was Chairperson of Dublin Sinn Féin.
The above is from Dublin Sinn Fein newsletter, 22 June 2007.
It also shows he was an anti-Israel activist.
His Facebook shows him remaining a strong supporter of Sinn Fein after joining Amnesty.
Amnesty Ireland has no credibility with people like this speaking for it.


  
Just to confirm it is the same guy:
(Left) Justin Moran of the human rights abusing group Sinn Fein in 2007.
(Right) Justin Moran of Amnesty Ireland as at 2012.



Martin McGuinness calls for the death penalty for "informers".
His organisation executed hundreds of "informers" without any evidence or any trial, and without defence barristers.
Justin Moran of Amnesty supported (and still supports) this organisation.
He openly supports Martin McGuinness on Facebook.



In this piece on China, July 16, 2009, Justin Moran of Amnesty claims to be opposed to the death penalty.
He also claims to be in favour of the right to "a fair and open trial".
Where was the fair and open trial of Paul Quinn when your organisation applied the death penalty to him in 2007?
Or the hundreds of others your organisation killed without trial?
Amnesty Ireland has no credibility with people like this speaking for it.



Justin Moran signs a 2004 petition calling for a boycott of Israel.
The future spokesman for Amnesty International Ireland calls for the ethnic cleansing of the 550,000 Jews in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
He also wants a boycott of Israel: "The undersigned also urge all citizens of Ireland to support a boycott of all Israeli goods and services".



Justin Moran of Amnesty International (Ireland) looks forward to the death of Margaret Thatcher, Dec 2011.
His organisation (SF-IRA) failed to kill her in 1984 when it bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton.



Justin Moran left Amnesty by 2014.
He worked for Age Action and is still on their Board of Directors.
He now works for the Irish Wind Energy Association.
He has not changed. Here he laughs at the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson getting the coronavirus, March 2020.




Colm O'Gorman

Colm O'Gorman, executive director of Amnesty Ireland from 2008 to 2022, took the organisation in a radical left, "woke" direction, in line with his politics, and far away from its original mission.

Despite the fact that he is gay himself, Colm O'Gorman is hostile to Israel, the only state in the Middle East where gays are free. Amnesty Ireland developed a strong and angry bias against Israel under his watch. He called for an arms embargo on Israel. He was an obsessed supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood prisoner Ibrahim Halawa.

Even though he is gone, Amnesty Ireland is unlikely to recover. No centre-right person could support Amnesty Ireland.




Colm O'Gorman issues a rather self-satisfied tweet on 8 Dec 2012.
He tosses in a dig at Israel.
So should he be on a list? Indeed he should. He should be on my list of gays who won't stand up for the state where gays are free, in its fight for survival with states where gays are oppressed and even liquidated. Being on that list is not something to be proud of.


  

Amnesty Ireland's love for the Muslim Brotherhood

Under Colm O'Gorman, Amnesty Ireland campaigned for four years for the Halawa family of Muslim Brotherhood radicals. They, not me, are the kind of people Amnesty Ireland likes.

In fact, Amnesty Ireland's head from 2008 to 2022, Colm O'Gorman, blocked me on Twitter for opposing the Muslim Brotherhood. Which kind of sums Amnesty Ireland up.



  

Colm O'Gorman, 12 Aug 2014, who is gay, defends the Muslim Brotherhood prisoner Ibrahim Halawa as a "prisoner of conscience".



O'Gorman talks nonsense about the Halawa case.



The Muslim Brotherhood's Yusuf Al-Qaradawi replies.
He says about homosexuals: "The schools of thought disagree about the punishment. ... Some say we should throw them from a high place, like God did with the people of Sodom. Some say we should burn them, and so on. There is disagreement."



Colm O'Gorman engages with me in this thread, but never engages with my criticism of Amnesty's defence of the MB, Islamists and jihadists.
See more. Amnesty weakly argues that MB people may not be involved in MB violence.



I try in Dec 2016 to get Colm O'Gorman to engage with the fact that Ibrahim Halawa's father said gays should be executed.
He is angry with me. His anger with Ibrahim Halawa's father is non-existent.
He is so angry with me that he "likes" this insane tweet suggesting I am working for the Kremlin!
What the hell is wrong with him?



For years, I have sent him the evidence of Halawa links to the MB.
In Jan 2017, he makes it clear that he never reads any of it.
Colm O'Gorman is interested in everyone's opinions in Ireland except the Halawas.



Colm O'Gorman of Amnesty International (Ireland) posts his love for Muslim Brotherhood activist Ibrahim Halawa on the latter's release from prison, Nov 2017.



In Nov 2017 I criticised the Halawa family one too many times for this guy's liking.
O'Gorman called Hussein Halawa "more progressive on women's rights than a Catholic Bishop".
I pointed out that he wants gays executed.
O'Gorman blocked me.



Amnesty Ireland uses a Muslim Brotherhood supporter in their promotional video, Dec 2017.
Ibrahim Halawa could make a huge contribution if he publicly denounced (in English and Arabic) the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al Qaradawi, Salah Soltan, sharia law, and political Islam in general. In the absence of that, this video merely demonstrates a moral void at the heart of Amnesty.



The face of the Muslim Brotherhood friendly left-wing group, Amnesty Ireland.
Amnesty are simply a leftist political party like People Before Profit. No particular reason to support them.

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on X by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on X.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on X.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on X (formerly Twitter) at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter (renamed to X) seems to be saved.

Campaigns to silence me: I now have no less than two entries on the Banned List at Academics for Academic Freedom. This is a list of "individuals who were banned from speaking at universities in the UK and Ireland, or faced campaigns to silence them, or sack them for their views." The two campaigns to silence me were the BLM protests in 2021 (unsuccessful) and the Israel debate in 2024 (partially successful, in that it drove the debate off campus).
