A "Muslim ban" against "two"(!!) very specific(!!) people is self-evidently…not…that. Not is it a "female ban" or "ban" on people whose last names end with a consonant. Not did Obama didn't implement a "Hindu ban" when he banned Modi.
One other thing, @Ilhan. If denying entry to two Muslims is a "Muslim ban," what's it called when you advocate for the boycott of 7 million Jews?
Autocorrect hates Jews.
One silver lining to this latest burst of shouting about Israel is that we get a way to identify those with zero shreds of credibility. Who? No, not those who oppose the policy on principle. Not those who support it on principle. But those pretending it's somehow a "Muslim ban."
Good point. The country has also prevented Jewish anti-Israel agitators (see: Ariel Gold) from entering. So… "Jewish ban."

1/ This, in the @nytimes today, is false. Image
2/ This, about Cal Poly, in the @nytimes today, is also false. Image
3/ The @nytimes seems to be sugarcoating the demonstrators' demands to conceal their extremism and dress them up merely as anti-war activists.

They are anti-Israel activists to the core, and little more.

1/ Is there a difference between identifying by name someone belligerently acting out in a public space and "doxxing"?

The idea that there's a sort of right to complete anonymity for people publicly behaving like heartless asses seems, well, questionable.
2/ Anyhow, here's @npr making a hero out of a hater:

npr.org/2024/04/11/123…
3/ And here's the subject of @NPR's advocacy, the one who's so keen on her name being kept quiet yet partnered with NPR to blast her name across the world.

The @nytimes insists that the message "100 days" shared by an Israeli soccer player is a statement about "the start of the war."
Image
Image
The journalistic equivalent of callously tearing down a hostage poster.
The @nytimes piece has been updated multiple times since the paper was informed of its misrepresentation.

It has not corrected the misrepresentation.

Meanwhile, here (according to Ynet cited in Calcalist) is what Jehezkel said about his gesture: Image

A short thread on how the @nytimes flagrantly, inexcusably manipulated readers by playing games with statistics.

A front-page, above-the-fold story a couple Sunday's ago exploring how this Gaza conflict compares to other global wars. Or at least went through the motions.
2/ One of four points of comparison was 2003, Iraq, about which @LaurenLeatherby wrote that more women and children have been reported killed in Gaza "in less than two months" than civilians killed by US-led attacks "in the entire first year of the invasion of Iraq." Image
3/ Let's put aside legitimate doubts about Hamas casualty figures and, for the sake of this thread, accept them.

The NYT passage is a comparison of rates, right? Gazan innocents are being killed at six times the rate of Iraqi civilians.

That's the whole point of the article: Image

1/ The same CAIR that pretended Israel's military response to the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter of Israelis was "unprovoked" also loved the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter.
3/ It's also the same CAIR that dabbles in blood libel.

1/ Ben Collins, a senior reporter for NBC News who apparently specializes in "disinformation" and "the internet," has weighed in as follows on the calamity at the Gaza hospital—now widely understood to be the result of a misfired Palestinian rocket. Image
2/ First a retweet of an inaccurate claim that the hospital was "bombed." Then another retweet of the same.
Image
Image
3/ Then a retweets of some vague frustration about truth on social media, referencing nothing specific.

And that's the end of it (there are also a couple "replies," detailed below, that aren't helpful). He hasn't even hinted that his earlier retweets might have been false. Image
