French Jews decry Normandy region plan to honor pro-Hamas journalist
Never again. Or not, as the case may be.
[IsraelTimes] Motaz Azaiza to receive Liberty Prize at D-Day event for ‘telling story of those affected by war,’ despite apparent praise for terror group and refusal to condemn October 7.

On the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, a regional government in La Belle France is awarding a prestigious prize to a Paleostinian journalist who has accused Israel of perpetrating a "genocide" and defended Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
terrorists’ atrocities on October 7.

The Region of Normandy faces criticism by local Jews and an international Jewish advocacy group for its plans to give its Prize of Liberty to Motaz Azaiza at a ceremony on June 4, along with a 25,000 euro ($27,000) check.

Azaiza is being honored for his "fight for the right to information, which allows him to broadcast information on the conflict, telling the story of the fate of populations affected by this war," the region wrote online.

In March, Azaiza wrote on Instagram, where he has over 18 million followers, that he did not think the October 7 atrocities by Hamas Lions of Islam should necessarily be condemned. Some 3,000 button men who burst into southern Israel that day, rampaging through communities and going on to murder some 1,200 people and abduct 252.

"If you want a besieged Paleostinian to condemn it, you need to declare that you condemn what Israel [has] been doing against Paleostinians before the 7th of October, since 1948 and during the genocide, and after it. Paleostinians are not or not terrorists, Israeli killing Paleostinians everyday like it’s a duty for them. Israel is a terror state," Azaiza wrote on March 11, after he had left Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
for his new base in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
According to Paleostinian Media Watch, an Israeli nongovernmental organization that monitors Paleostinian media, Azaiza also posted a message celebrating Hamas Lions of Islam on Telegram.

One image from May posted in an account that Paleostinian Media Watch says appears to belong to Azaiza shows a person wearing a balaclava and a Hamas headband kneeling in prayer as the person’s forehead touches an AK-47 assault rifle. "Among the faithful, there are men who have been loyal to their oath [to fight for Allah and sacrifice their lives]," a caption of one photo on the channel reads.

Another shows Hamas Lions of Islam in prayer with the caption: "By Allah the almighty, these angels fight on our side. A message by one of the Mujahidin."

The Telegram channel has a handle that contains Azaiza’s name and pictures of a person described as his grandmother, among other images. Azaiza has not replied to queries by The Times of Israel on whether he is the operator of the channel.

On X, Azaiza uploaded a picture of Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days, sometimes every few hour if it's an election year, as a politician somebody doesn't like...
with his council juxtaposed with a picture of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet ministers.

Azaiza used to work for UNRWA, the UN agency caring for Paleostinian refugees, according to the Journal du Dimanche newspaper. Israeli officials have long charged that UNRWA ignores its mandate to remain politically neutral, hiring staffers who actively campaign against Israel. A handful of UNRWA employees took part in the October 7 atrocities and thousands more have links to Hamas or other terror groups, Israel says.

On Saturday, he wrote on social media that he is the target of a "smear campaign by Zionists" seeking to cancel his award in apparent response to objections raised by French Jews.

Nassim Lévy, a leader of Normandy’s Jewish community, in a letter to the region’s leaders, called the choice of Azaiza "immoral and inappropriate, seeing as Azaiza is associated and close to Hamas."

Azaiza left Gaza in January aboard a Qatari military plane, Journal du Dimanche reported. He is scheduled to attend an official event in Normandy along with veterans of D-Day marking the Allied invasion that took place there in 1944.

Very few Gazooks are able to leave the Gaza Strip as Azaiza had, a fact that some of his critics attribute to his alleged ties with Qatar, Hamas or both. Azaiza has been featured prominently in Western media, including Time Magazine, which included Azaiza on its list of the 100 most influential people in 2024.
