.@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…
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.

Did @BBCNews just give a Hamas-linked "journalist" the stage to justify the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks?
Yes, they did. This appalling excuse for journalism should make the BBC ashamed. 🧵
The BBC portrays Bushra al-Tawil as an innocent “journalist” arrested for merely giving a “talk in a mosque.”
What they omit: Bushra has documented ties to Hamas.
Incredibly, the BBC also allows her to justify the kidnapping of innocent civilians.
To its partial credit, @BBCNews mentions her father, Jamal Al-Tawil, but calls him a “Hamas politician.”
Let’s pause. The UK, where the BBC operates, doesn’t engage in this “political wing” fantasy. Why? Because Hamas is entirely a terrorist group. Period.
Hinkle's posts spread inflammatory misinformation, exploiting the power of outrage for profit.
Remember the precise pager attack that targeted Hezbollah terrorists? Hinkle lied, claiming Israel targeted civilians, even when Hezbollah confirmed the devices were theirs.
Imagine a society where children are told their purpose is not to live, but to die. How do you build a future when your leaders glorify its destruction?
Loving death isn’t bravery—it’s barbarity. While the rest of the world cherishes life, Hamas weaponizes its people’s suffering.
Why do the WORST human rights abusers escape UN scrutiny?🧵
The UNGA passed 17 resolutions against Israel in 2024. For China, Afghanistan, and others committing egregious abuses? Zero.
The Iranian Regime executed 901 people in 2024, including women and LGBTQ+ individuals. It’s the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.
Yet, the UNGA passed one resolution against them.
