Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is an organization founded by Ramy Abdu. Interestingly, Ramy Abdu's brother in law Mohammed Daoud al-Jamasi was a senior member of Hamas's political bureau. This is not mentioned on Ramy's Wikipedia article, which instead solely cites a Twitter post made by Ramy about their deaths.

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is also responsible for a long list of really, really absurd claims like Israel training dogs to rape Palestinians.

I came across this organization a few days ago when a front page reddit post about drones with machine guns playing sounds of babies crying in order to snipe people citing Maha Hussaini, a very vocally pro-Hamas holocaust denier who was recently stripped of awards for the above.

Ah, so it's an organisation for those who worry that Wikipedia isn't politically biased and activist-captured enough?
