.@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.

Hamas inflates the Gaza death toll, and the media buys it. Here’s how they twist the numbers to mislead the world. 🧵 Image
Ever noticed how death toll headlines dominate the Gaza narrative? Turns out, everything isn’t as it seems. A new report exposes the manipulation behind the numbers. Image
Systematic errors or deliberate deception? Men counted as women. Adults listed as kids. Even natural deaths get rebranded as war casualties. This isn’t sloppy data—it’s a strategy. Image

Why did FIVE Arab countries ban Al Jazeera?

Spoiler: It's not because they couldn’t handle a free press. Let’s unpack what led to this widespread rejection of the Qatari network. 🧵👇 Image
🇯🇴 Jordan:
First accused Al Jazeera of provoking “sedition” back in 2002, then blocked them in 2017 over Qatar tensions. Sedition isn’t journalism, and Jordan made that crystal clear. Image
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia:
In 2017, Saudi Arabia blocked Al Jazeera after Qatar’s leadership openly supported Hamas and Hezbollah. Can you trust a network aligned with terror groups? Image

Christmas has come early for @Reuters with the same old Israel-bashing story from Bethlehem.

Including an interview with Pastor Munther Isaac, who justified the Oct. 7 massacre & has been described as "the high priest of antisemitic Christianity." 🧵

reuters.com/world/middle-e…Image
Munther's activities include board membership of Kairos Palestine, an org whose founding document makes antisemitic statements, such as engaging in replacement theology to deny the Jewish people’s historic connection to Israel.

More from @LahavHarkov. ⬇️
jewishinsider.com/2024/04/pastor…
And just like last year, Munther is pictured by @Reuters with a nativity scene set up by the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, which depicts a baby "Palestinian" Jesus draped in a keffiyeh and laying atop a pile of rubble. Image

📖 Misused Terms About the Israel-Hamas War

Words like “genocide,” “collective punishment,” and “famine” are often thrown around inaccurately.

Here’s what these terms actually mean—and why they don’t apply to Israel. 🧵 Image
Genocide is about intent: it’s an intentional effort to destroy an entire group. Israel’s goal is to dismantle terror threats, not to target civilians. Image
Why it doesn’t apply: Israel is operating in self-defense under international law, aiming at military targets—not civilians. Image
