A few days ago, I posted how Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo took a potshot at Israel for designating 6 palestinian Arab NGOs as terrorist organizations. As I wrote in the post:
Had Ruffalo bothered to do his homework, he would discover that the six NGOs (Addameer, Al Haq, Bisan Center, Defense for Children International -Palestine (DCI-P), Union Of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) and the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees (UPWC)) have actual links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), designated a terrorist group by Israel, the US, the EU and more. What’s more, they actually funnel funds to the PFLP.
I’ve actually written about some of these links before. For instance, even before the Israeli government released their Terrorists in Suits report, I had published a post series exposing the Addameer-PFLP connection. I’ve also posted about Al-Haq’s PFLP connection, and how Defense for Children International Palestine defended a teen who opened fire on people with a submachine gun.
This has not stopped Israel-haters like Ruffalo from attacking Israel over the move, with many – who claim to care about palestinian Arab human rights – posting on social media:

Some of whom have done so using the hashtag #StandWithThe6:





Congresswoman Betty McCollum has even introduced a resolution condemning Israel over it:
I've introduced a resolution calling on the U.S. House to condemn Israel’s labeling of six Palestinian human rights groups as “terrorist organizations.” We must make it clear that anti-democratic repression of Palestinian civil society is not tolerated. https://t.co/nZfRsEOmha https://t.co/axZMBKlvw3

But there are another six whose predicament is being met with silence by these same people:
Six Palestinians from the Gaza Strip were sentenced to death (in September and October) for "collaboration" with Israel. Several others received life sentences with hard labor. Hamas: "We want to protect Palestinian society and confront the scourge of espionage with Israel."

I guess these people stand with Hamas.
