[THREAD 1] Attempts to characterise our journalism as fodder for conspiracy theorists are shamefully dishonest, but an inevitable backlash from speaking truth to power. aljazeera.com/investigations…

[2] Whether exposing Australian politicians offering influence to the US pro-gun lobby, or meddling by the Israeli embassy in Britain, or even match-fixing in international cricket, our detractors have tried to misrepresent our reporting, rather than engage with the facts.

[3] We have never failed to meet our industry's standards of fairness & impartiality. #TheLobby is no exception. Complaints that our reporting was anti-Semitic, unfair & unbalanced were ALL dismissed by @Ofcom. Here’s their judgement in full: ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/…

[4] Here’s JLM’s then director & former Israeli embassy employee Ella Rose, calling her critics “f***ing anti-Semites.” Ofcom agreed that our secret filming of her was in the public interest. Last week @BBCPanorama presented her as an unnamed whistleblower. #IsLabourAntiSemitic

[5] #TheLobby is important viewing because it gives much needed context to the @UKLabour "anti-Semitism" row. This clip shows attempts to shut down dissenting Jewish voices at the 2016 Labour Party Conference.

[6] It's baffling to see continued attempts to downplay evidence that the Israeli Embassy’s senior political officer, Shai Masot was actively seeking to undermine British politicians critical of Israel. Here’s a reminder of some of the headlines at the time.

[7] Shai Masot also claimed coordinate pro-Israel groups including @_LFI.
Here’s a list of some other organisations we know he collaborated with.
