.@SunTimesIreland op-ed attacks Israel over #Eurovision2019 suggesting that the Irish broadcaster "should bring back news reports from the occupied territories" yet falsely claims that journalists would be restricted by Israeli authorities. What nonsense. thetimes.co.uk/article/boycot… Image
There are no restrictions on movement for foreign journalists entering the West Bank. Foreign journalists can enter Gaza via the Erez Crossing dependent on Hamas permission on the other side. How do you think so much footage comes out? It's thanks to Israeli press freedom.
In addition, Irish journalists will find that the only restrictions on their reporting are from the Palestinian side which arrests their own journalists and intimidates others to try to ensure negative stories about Hamas and PA behavior never see the light of day.

When a mob violently protests outside of a Los Angeles synagogue, that's not against Israel - it's against Jews.

But too many media appear to have missed the obvious, instead "both-siding" to create a false equivalence between the protagonists.

🧵 of examples in the media 👇

There's nothing "Pro-Palestinian" about a mob protesting outside a synagogue, @CNN.

The @MayorOfLA Karen Bass got it right when she stated "blocking access to a place of worship is unacceptable."

But for @CBSNews, "fights broke out during dueling protests." No, they didn't -- an anti-Israel mob deliberately targeted a synagogue.

🌈 Ever heard of "pinkwashing"?

Is Israel really using LGBTQ+ rights to hide its policies towards Palestinians? 🧵

First published: September 28, 2023 Image
BDS activists claim Israel uses LGBTQ+ rights as a distraction. But what's the real story behind these accusations? Image
Israel has been a trailblazer in LGBTQ+ rights for 3 decades! Discrimination banned since 1992, and military open to all in 1993 – nearly 20 years before the US. 🏳️‍🌈 Image

Claiming to be a “report on eight months of claim & counter-claim” about the sexual violence against Israelis on Oct 7, @thetimes foreign correspondent @scribblercat & @gabrielle_siviais' story is nothing more than a muddle of victim-blaming & bias. 🧵
thetimes.com/magazines/the-…
The piece claims the atrocities, specifically the sexual assaults & rapes, are Israel’s most “contentious” assertion of what occurred on Oct 7.

The writers evidently don’t believe sexual violence occurred & they'll try their hardest to convince readers not to believe it either. Image
Much of the piece discusses the UN report by Pramila Patten, which we are told came during a “furious row” in which they suggest allegations of antisemitism were weaponized — and not the fact that it seemed that Jewish women were the only group not believed about sexual assault. Image

A new study published by @HebrewU @TelAvivUni
