.@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.

She's beloved worldwide.
That’s why Ms. Rachel’s viral misinformation is so dangerous—it doesn’t just entertain millions, it shapes how the next generation sees the world.
With 16M subscribers and billions of views, Ms. Rachel is called the “Mr. Rogers” of our time.
But her foray into Gaza activism isn’t as innocent as it seems. Image
She shared this viral photo of a Gazan child, later revealed to have a congenital condition, and vowed she wouldn’t work with anyone who hadn’t spoken about Gaza. Image

 @TIFF_NET decided to pull an Oct. 7 documentary from its lineup this year.

Why? It claimed it needed permission from Hamas to publish bodycam footage of the massacre.

Let’s take a closer look at the dangers of giving a terror group editorial control 🧵 https://www.timesofisrael.com/toronto-film-fest-nixes-oct-7-doc-screening-said-to-cite-hamas-ownership-of-massacre-clips/

 Hamas live-streamed Oct. 7.

When perpetrators document their horrific crimes for the world to see, they don’t get to decide whether they continue to be shared.

No one questioned when outlets published images taken by photographers of the crimes of Oct. 7 from inside Israel.

 This isn’t new.

When Nazi propagandist & filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl threatened to sue @simonwiesenthal for using her films without permission, Rabbi Marvin Hier famously offered to pay her… in Reichsmarks.

 Despicable from @nytimes.
When the terrorist is Palestinian and his victims are Israeli Jews, the whitewash begins.
Zakaria Zubeidi — unrepentant mass murderer — gets the hero treatment.
Crimes blurred. Victims erased.
Let’s break down this vile feature 🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/world/middleeast/zakaria-zubeidi-palestine-interview.html
2/
 @nytimes paints Zubeidi as a victim – a repentant figure.
Reality: he’s never chosen peace.
From the start, his path was terror.
NYT spins it as if violence was his last resort, when it was always his first choice. Image

NYT calls Ariel Sharon’s visit to the holiest site in Judaism “provocative” and the “spark” for the Second Intifada.
Fact: Yasser Arafat planned it months earlier. Sharon’s visit was the excuse. Image

 .@SkyNews' chief correspondent spent 2 weeks in the West Bank, covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
With all that time and resources, it’s remarkable how much he still got wrong.
Sky News filmed it. We’ll tell you what they didn’t. 🧵
2/
 Sky News repeatedly downplays Israel’s security concerns.
This year alone, Israel’s security service has recorded over 2,000 attacks – from shootings to firebombs.
That’s the reality they brushed aside.
3/
 Jews in the West Bank aren’t a monolith.
They live there for ideological, economic & social reasons.
So why did Sky News pick one man from the hardline Yitzhar settlement to stand in for them all?

 @BowenBBC is back, this time focusing on fringe extremists among the Israeli settler community, even going as far as to make an immoral equivalence with Hamas terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands & oppression of their own people.

Let's take a closer look. 🧵 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4wwxz12jko
2/
 Bowen's beef isn't just about West Bank settlers. He implies that every Jew is a settler in "Palestine."

Arabs have no agency in Bowen's world. Instead, the act of Jews purchasing their ancestral land was apparently the catalyst for the bloody conflict as we know it today. Image
3/
 According to Bowen's history, Israel simply "captured" the disputed territories.

Because adding context that includes the Arab threat to Israel that prompted the Six-Day War would spoil his narrative of Israelis as land thieves. Image

 @BBCNews aired a slick doc blaming Israel for the deaths of 2 Gazan girls. But reporter @stephhegarty left one thing out: Hamas. No mention of child soldiers, human shields, or hostages in hospitals.
When facts don’t fit the narrative, she cuts them.
🧵
2/
 Hegarty features a British doctor at Nasser Hospital – someone who has denied Hamas was ever there. She doesn’t mention that Hamas official Ismail Barhoum was killed at Nasser. Or that hostages say Hamas held them in Gaza hospitals. That’s not an oversight. It’s a cover-up.
3/
 Hamas is completely absent from this "investigation."
No mention of their plainclothes fighters.
No mention of their use of child soldiers.
No mention of how they operate from civilian zones.
Only one side is under the microscope: the IDF.
