Gift of the Givers faces unfounded claims of ties to Hamas, highlighting the dangers of bias and propaganda.
Gift of the Givers faces baseless accusations linking them to Hamas. The controversy highlights the power of bias over facts.
It is amazing what confirmation bias will do to even the most level-headed person… which is why it’s no surprise there has such an outcry about Gift of the Givers and Dr Imtiaz Sooliman for allegedly being a funder of Gaza movement Hamas. So many people desperately wanted to buy into the “bad Muslim”, “Muslim terrorist” trope that they didn’t bother interrogating the claims made about Gift of the Givers by Lawrence Nowosenetz, former chair of the Jewish Board of Deputies.
Nowosenetz – hardly an unbiased observer – claimed that Gift of the Givers was the second non-profit organisation founded by Sooliman, the first being the South African branch of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Al Aqsa Foundation, established in 1991 which was committed to “the destruction of Israel”. He stated that while Sooliman had distanced himself from Al Aqsa Foundation, he continued to make donations to them and to the Union of Good, which was blacklisted by the US Treasury in 2008.May be?
