.@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.

🧵 1/
Jeremy Bowen’s latest “analysis” for @BBCNews is exactly what you’d expect: bias, omissions, and inflammatory framing dressed up as journalism.
Let’s break down how the BBC International Editor pushes his latest smears against Israel. bbc.com/news/articles/…
2/ Bowen writes the ICJ “alleges [Israel] is committing genocide."
Wrong.
South Africa made the accusation. The court hasn’t ruled. There’s a difference between a legal claim and a legal judgment – and Bowen blurs that line.
Carelessness or deliberate?
3/ Bowen vaguely says a ceasefire is “looking more possible.”
Here’s what he doesn’t say:
Israel already accepted a ceasefire deal – making major concessions to bring the hostages home.
Hamas said no.
But facts like that ruin the narrative, don’t they?
- A church in the West Bank “set ablaze by settlers”
- Local church leaders pushed the claim
- Global diplomats echoed it
- @AP, @CBSNews, @Reuters and @AFP ran with it – no questions asked
But the truth about Taybeh tells a different story.
2/ Video obtained by @TPS_News_co_il told a different story.
Jewish teens were seen running toward a small brushfire near grazing land, carrying fire extinguishers and safety gear.
From the start of the war, Hamas has skimmed, stolen, and sold aid meant for Gazan civilians. Now that food is being delivered for free, with no cut for them, they’re trying to shut it down. Here's a breakdown of 7 times Hamas has sabotaged free aid. ➡️
Hamas brought guns to an aid site and sparked deadly violence. Why? Because free aid threatens their profits and power.
Hamas used fake Telegram posts to sow chaos around aid delivery. When they can’t control the system, they sabotage it.
According to the Reuters digital database, Rouqa has been employed by the wire service since November 2023.
Her Instagram & Facebook accounts reveal that she was simultaneously working for the Houthis' Al-Masirah — reporting on the same stories for both Reuters & the terrorists.
On April 25-26, 2023, for example, Rouqa produced reports from Nasser hospital in Gaza for both Reuters and Al-Masirah 👇
Meet UPenn professor Huda Fakhreddine. She has repeatedly defended Hamas, romanticized the Oct. 7 massacre, & accused Israel of genocide.
She's part of a network of academics spreading hate, shielding terrorism, & rewriting the narrative one student mind at a time. 🧵
In Oct. 2023, Huda spoke at a pro-Hamas rally where she was quoted as saying, “Israel is the epitome of antisemitism… it desecrates the memory of the Holocaust victims. It humiliates every Jewish person.” algemeiner.com/2023/10/18/isr…
In Feb. 2025, she praised PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani, writing: “Let him teach us what moral, historical, and linguistic responsibility sounds like.”
The media is calling Francesca Albanese a "critic of Israel," but she's not.
She's an antisemite, a terror apologist, and a fraud.🧵
@unwatch @hillelneuer
@UNWatch @HillelNeuer Francesca Albanese lied about being a human rights lawyer and justified Hamas’ October 7th massacre...as it was still happening.
@UNWatch @HillelNeuer She accepted thousands of dollars from pro-Hamas groups for trips to Australia and New Zealand...and then lied about it.
