Meet Pulitzer Prize winner Mosab Abu Toha. He justifies the kidnapping of Israelis on Oct. 7. We aren't going to congratulate him for his prize. Instead, we're going to ask @PulitzerPrizes whether they bothered to check his social media. Because we did, and it's not pretty. 🧵
@PulitzerPrizes Emily Damari, an Israeli civilian, was shot twice and abducted from her home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza on Oct. 7. Hamas held her for 471 days. But Mosab Abu Toha claims she was a "soldier" and questions how Damari could be a hostage.
@PulitzerPrizes Hamas held Agam Berger hostage with none of the rights due to a prisoner who has gone through a legal process. But that doesn't matter to Mosab Abu Toha. Because no Israeli could be a hostage in his eyes.
@PulitzerPrizes The Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza was struck by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, not by an Israeli airstrike, as proven shortly after the incident in 2023. Not according to Mosab Abu Toha.
@PulitzerPrizes According to Mosab Abu Toha, Israeli "terror soldiers" celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah is "what true antisemitism looks like." 🤨 Maybe he should ask Hamas what true antisemitism is.
@PulitzerPrizes When Electronic Intifada's Ali Abunimeh was arrested by Swiss police in Zurich, who was responsible? According to Mosab Abu Toha, it was the "Zionists."
@PulitzerPrizes If you are going to claim a "genocide" is going on, what better than to make comparisons with the Holocaust - a real genocide - to make your point?
@PulitzerPrizes So, @PulitzerPrizes, is Mosab Abu Toha really the most distinguished person you could give an award to? Or is this just another politically-motivated message for the Israel haters?
