.@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.

📖 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

Here we go again. @washingtonpost has joined @CNN, @nytimes & @guardian as the 4th media outlet in the past 3 weeks to have published almost identical stories accusing the IDF of using Palestinians as human shields.

Let's recap what the problems are. 🧵
All 4 stories use Breaking the Silence, whose critics repeatedly allege, appears to frequently rely on “either fabricated or exaggerated” testimonies from former soldiers & are “motivated by financial & political concerns to further a pro-Palestinian agenda.”

Here are 3 “journalists” whose work is more about propaganda than reporting. 🧵 Image
Meet Plestia Alaqad: She spread the false “massacre” story about Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital, even though the explosion was later traced to a misfired Palestinian rocket.

Yet, major outlets like The Washington Post & The Guardian continue to give her a platform. Image
Hind Khoudary isn’t just reporting—she’s collaborating. She once alerted Hamas about Gazan peace activists meeting with Israelis, leading to arrests.

So why does she still have credibility with outlets like The Washington Post and The Independent? Image

How did Israel’s path to statehood really unfold?

On the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, let’s dig into the history behind the British Mandate—a story of promises, resistance, and resilience. 🧵 Image
Before Israel, the land was under Ottoman rule for 400 years. After WWI, the British took control, reviving the name “Palestine” politically for the first time since the 7th century. Image
Britain made some big promises during WWI: Arab independence, a secret deal with France to carve up the Middle East, and the Balfour Declaration—a public commitment to a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Image
