.@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.

🚚 Aid finally makes it to Gazans—but the headlines still miss the real story.🧵 Image
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation successfully delivered aid to thousands of Gazans. Israel only fired warning shots to keep order—no injuries, no deaths. Media spin? “Israel opens fire.” Image
Image
Then Gazans stormed a flour stockpile. Hamas fired into the crowd, killing five, and boasted about it on Telegram. Media spin? “Deadly break-in at UN warehouse.” No mention of Hamas hoarding the aid or pulling the trigger.

Despite what this photo caption says, it does not show Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, the mother of children killed in an airstrike.

The photo in @guardian actually shows al-Najjar's niece (left) and brother-in-law with an as yet unidentified woman. 🧵 Image
We know this is the niece as she is identified as such in a @Reuters video interview from inside the hospital.

Despite this, Reuters is currently selling the erroneously captioned photo that The Guardian used. Image
So is this Dr. Alaa al-Najjar in this @Reuters photo, a pediatrician who wears a niqab and is so strictly religious that she was allowed to train in medicine, and still had time to give birth to 10 children in little more than 11 years?

Because the media won't ask the questions. Image

Because for @SkyNews' @AlexCrawfordSky, the barbaric terrorism against Israelis on Oct. 7, including the burning and mutilation of babies, was all just an overblown and exaggerated excuse for Israel to carry out a "genocide."

And the @guardian column? There's more. 🧵
"Israel is executing a 'final solution' in Gaza," according to Arwa Mahdawi in @guardian.

Absolutely sickening: Misappropriating the language of the Holocaust, Mahdawi effectively compares Israel to the Nazis. Image
Has pro-Palestinian speech really been "suppressed?" Have Palestinians been "systematically dehumanized" by western media?

Judging by the tsunami of anti-Israel criticism in media, social media & in the public square, some of it antisemitic, that clearly isn't the case. Image

The UN lied about 14,000 babies dying in 48 hours in Gaza.
So why is the media still reporting it as fact? 🧵 Image
In a @bbcnews interview, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher claimed “14,000 children will die in Gaza in 48 hours.”
Providing zero evidence to back up his claim.
@BBCNews When pressed, @unocha pointed to an IPC report.
The problem? The report projects 14,100 children could face severe malnutrition over a year — not die within 48 hours. Image

"Famine" makes headlines, but the math just isn't mathing. 🧵 Image
This is how major outlets frame the crisis. But what aren't they saying? Image
During the six-week ceasefire, aid trucks delivered roughly 380,000 tons of food into Gaza. According to @WFP, that’s enough to feed Gaza’s entire population for eight months. @cogatonline Image

Someone is silencing Gaza’s journalists.
And it’s not who you’ve been told. 🧵 Image
The Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom published a report revealing how Gazan reporters are being threatened, stalked, and assaulted. Image
Image
@pressfreedom Some journalists reported that they were beaten, followed, and intimidated by Hamas. Image
