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.

The Peter Johnston review into @bbcnews Hamas documentary scandal isn’t just damage control -
it is an outrageous whitewash - a scandal in its own right.

I have just published a response. 1/13
Thread 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Hidden in footnote 38! A production team member admitted they hid the Hamas affiliation because it would ‘scare' the BBC. The BBC's review dismisses this as irrelevant, relying on 'good faith'.

This assumption of innocence - despite evidence - is institutional naivety. 2/13
The father of the narrator was a senior Hamas official. Yet the BBC claims this had no influence.

The boy went home to his Hamas father every night for months while filming took place. To suggest this dynamic had no influence at all defies all common sense. 3/13

Exclusive research: What happens when a pretty-looking media accuracy watchdog is actually an attack dog for the Muslim Council of Britain, dressed up for show?

Misinformation. Misrepresentation. Misleading and manipulated statistics.

Thread - 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
The Centre for Media Monitoring claims the anti-Israel BBC actually has a pro-Israel bias! Yes, you read that right. I read all 188 pages of CfMM’s report - so you do not have to.

Their argument is dressed in manipulated data - and @cfmmuk statistics are wildly misleading.
The first big lie: Their headline claim was that Israeli deaths were covered 33x more than Palestinian ones.

But this stat is built on deceptively counting boilerplate references. A contextualising para at the end of most BBC articles. It’s junk methodology and they know it. Image

Exclusive: The National Union of Journalists does not like press freedom or Jews very much.....

A personal journey of abuse and discrimination as I reapplied for a press card.

🧵🧵🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Because I work behind enemy lines, I have often been targeted at protests. A press card afforded me some protection - so I had held a NUJ card for several years. As my work evolved I was on the street less and I let my last NUJ card expire. The date? October 2023. Image
October 7 changed everything, and following a very threatening incident I reapplied. I had done it twice before, so did not give it much thought. I made the application in spring 2024 expecting a swift turnaround. This time however, things were going to go very differently...

Exclusive: @Channel4News won awards for its early reporting covering the Gaza conflict. I went looking to see what was so 'award worthy' about their reporting, Guess what I found..

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I found a 7 minute clip from October 25 2023. The very first 'witness' tells the viewers doctors at Nasser hospital are left working on the patients with the light from mobile phones (those filming do not stop to ask how they charge the mobile phones if there is no fuel). Image
This story, of the Gazan surgeons performing operations using only the flashlight of their mobile phones, became one of the early viral stories of the conflict. All given to western media, by the doctor Mohammed Qandil Image

BBC Verify was meant to be an elite ‘fact-checking’ unit for @bbcnews - one of the largest broadcast news organizations in the world.

It turns out BBC Verify is just another obsessive BBC anti-Israel unit manned by amateur hacks.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
On May 13, 2025, Palestinian propaganda began circulating stories of a mass casualty strike on the European Hospital in Gaza. Israel *swiftly* released information they had struck a Hamas centre. Israel had targeted Mohammed Sinwar - the Hamas leader - hiding by a hospital.
Although they could not verify anything at the time - the BBC Verify team went for it. They spent the first 56 seconds just rolling shocking footage of the strike on civilians. BBC Verify spent the rest of the clip drawing doubt on Israel’s version of events.

Why has nobody but Israel and the US demanded that the civilians in Gaza be allowed to leave?

And hold your reflexive answer to that question to the end.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Given the behaviour of western media, the NGOs, and western political leaders, it would be fair to conclude that much of the international community would rather every single Gazan civilian die in this conflict, than see Israel gain any perceived benefit from the outcome. 2/18
What we see from the international community appears unique in the history of modern conflict (and we have endless examples). When conflict arises, civilians flee when they have a choice. Mothers and fathers pick up their children and simply run towards safety. 3/18
