I went to @ucl having been told about a vile, propaganda exhibition they have been displaying in a prominent and central position on campus. It has been there for months and 10000s of students have seen it. THREAD:
There are dozens of exhibits full of distortion and hostile imagery. It is nothing but the type of rancid propaganda campaign that the antisemitic Palestine Solidarity Campaign would produce. It is full of lies and has no place on campus anywhere.
A complaint has been made to the university by students. How do Jewish students feel walking past this vile exhibit everyday? And more recently by @jhoffman1 - who is writing a detailed report on the horrific distortions contained within. This is academia BRAINWASHING students.
The exhibition talks about 'refugees' and 'displacement', but it only talks about non-Jewish refugees. The majority of refugee descendants there are Jewish. What about their displacement? Where are their heirlooms? What about these people? Are their stories not good enough?
Just one example - this exhibit -a letter from 'Palestine' before 1948 'at a time Palestine was still on earth'. It is loaded emotional BS that is designed only as a propaganda weapon - created by academics and openly displayed on a University campus - if only any of it were true
This is the '1948' letter. With a 1957 postmark and sent from the 'Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan'. This is the utter bunkum that academics pass off to our students. This letter is on the UCL campus today - being passed off as a pre-1948 exhibit, just to get people to hate Israel.
UCL need to immediately remove this vile & disgraceful propaganda exercise They must ask serious questions of the academics that put it together and the people who gave it a green light. UCL have history. It is time for them to STOP brainwashing students with lies & propaganda.

This weekend, at their spring conference, UK Green Party members will debate a motion titled simply: “Zionism is Racism.”

Rather than rebut every distortion, I’ve focused on the core pillars of Motion A105. 1/9
Motion A105 rewrites Jewish identity and history to deny Jews the basic right to self-determination.

At the same time, it undermines the very anti-racist safeguards designed to protect Jewish communities in the Diaspora. 2/9
Calling Zionism racist is as absurd as calling a women’s refuge “sexist” - both evolved as a means of protection, not domination.

Zionism is not about distant supporters. It is about the national existence of the people who live it. 3/9

Two hospital explosions. Two @BBCNews narratives.

One dominated headlines for days.
The other disappeared within hours.

This is evidence of anti-Israel bias.
But it’s also something more.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We all know the story. 17 Oct 2023 - Gaza.

Explosion at Al-Ahli hospital.
Within minutes:

“Israeli airstrike” “Hundreds killed”

The BBC led with it - and stayed with it. Image
But last week - a similar breaking story.
Explosion at a hospital in Kabul.
Reports of hundreds dead in an Pakistani air strike.

This time?
The BBC was far more muted. Playing it down.
Compare the BBC headline with the way other newsrooms reported it. Image

The BBC recently apologised after turning the Holocaust into one of many “holocausts.”

This thread examines another case of Jewish history being rewritten by @bbcnews.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC published a podcast about Jewish life in Morocco. Centuries of persecution were reframed as harmony. Conditions approaching slavery were recast as a “model” of Muslim-Jewish coexistence. This is a classic anti-Zionist fiction. Image
I’ve been there, following my wife’s Moroccan heritage. No one can see the erased communities, hidden cemeteries, unmarked buildings and armed protection of Jewish sites and honestly call this a model of coexistence. This is Pravda-level propaganda.

And here we go again.
@bbcnews has just promoted a boycott-Israel campaign.

It inflated a non-event into an article, and then misled readers by whitewashing the activists involved.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First, BBC News chose to run a pro-BDS article.

It then cited the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign without telling readers that SPSC’s leader was convicted of anti-Jewish racism just weeks ago.

This omission is inexcusable. Image
The article goes on to conceal the anti-Israel bias of the United Nations Human Rights Council and withholds key information about the political activism of the other NGO it relies on. Every single player involved is whitewashed.

Readers were materially misinformed. Image

BBC Verify got caught doing something shameless. They published the same Gaza “investigation” twice and pushed it as fresh “verification”.
My latest - BBC Verify does Groundhog day.
Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Put the two articles side by side and it’s unavoidable. Once in October 25, then again January 2026. Same authors. Same framing. Same story. This isn’t verification @bbcnews. It’s anti-Israel recycling. Image
It goes from simply bad to embarrassing. The opening paragraphs follow the same sequence, almost line by line. This is the BBC’s flagship “Verify” unit.
And they’re doing student activist-level journalism Image

New report - published today.

If you care about antisemitism, or are in a space fighting against it, you really need to read this.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR). If you are not paying attention, you should.

APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology.
I traced its history. I found out where & why it was created, and my new report lays out exactly how it evolved.

What you need to know is this: APR relabels reality. Antisemitism protections are dropped. Zionism becomes racism. Disagree with fictional narratives? Racist!
