Joining thousands of others we will shortly be suspending our Twitter activity for 48 hours in protest at the ongoing tolerance of hate speech in this platform.

@jack @Twitter #NoSafeSpaceforJewHate

honestreporting.com/honestreportin…
In recent weeks, we have looked on with dismay as Jews displaying a Jewish symbol have been locked out of their accounts while actual hatred has been allowed to proliferate.
We have seen how antisemites such as Louis Farrakhan have a platform on Twitter, and how celebrities share his clips to an audience of millions.
We have seen how attacks on Israel frequently turn into attacks on Jews.
And we have seen a reluctance on the part of the traditional broadcast media to report on these outbursts of hatred.
We are now saying #NoSafeSpaceForJewHate and walking out of ⁦@Twitter until 9am UK time on Wednesday.

It's now up to Twitter to make a change for the better, and to the media to fully cover this story. Enough is enough. Image

🎬 No Other Land: When the truth doesn’t fit the script.🧵 Image
The Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land paints Israel as the villain—but it’s missing half the story. Image
For starters, Masafer Yatta wasn’t a Palestinian town—it was historically Bedouin grazing land. Image

Trust @UPI's Adam Schrader to abuse the torture of released Israeli hostage Eli Sharabi by twisting the story to falsely claim Palestinian prisoners are being treated in the same way.

Enough of this false equivalence between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. 🧵 Image
There was no famine in the Gaza Strip. But that doesn't stop Shrader from referring to "famine-like conditions" faced by "Israeli hostages & Palestinians alike."

Fully fed Hamas terrorists deliberately starved Israeli hostages. There is no "alike" here. Image
Yet again, Schrader's primary Palestinian source is @EuroMedHR, a Hamas front organization with a history of peddling disinformation and propaganda.

Somehow though, it's Israel that is spreading falsehoods according to Schrader. Image

1️⃣ The media just got played—again.

Major outlets blindly echoed Hamas propaganda about the Bibas family’s murder, treating terrorist claims as fact while ignoring forensic evidence. Here’s how they failed. 🧵⬇️ Image
2️⃣ AP parroted Hamas claims that the Bibas family was "killed in an Israeli airstrike"—even after Israeli forensics confirmed the babies were murdered by Hamas terrorists. It took AP over 48 hours to acknowledge the truth.

This isn't reporting. It's propaganda laundering. Image
3️⃣ AP's follow-up was no better. Instead of calling it murder, they vaguely stated the Bibas family "died in captivity."

Shiri Bibas and her two young children didn’t simply “die.” They were brutally murdered by hand. Why won’t AP say it? Image

The Palestinian Authority wants the world to believe it has ended its “Pay-to-Slay” program. But is it actually reform—or just a rebrand? Let’s break it down. 🧵⬇️ Image
The PA has long rewarded terrorists with salaries—giving them or their families a financial incentive to carry out attacks on Israelis. The more deadly the attack, the higher the payout. Image
Some recent headlines suggested that the PA was scrapping this system altogether. But the truth? These claims were misleading, and the so-called “end” of the program is just smoke and mirrors. Image

Freed hostages are breaking their silence—revealing the brutal reality of life under Hamas captivity. The details are horrifying. 🧵 Image
Agam Berger, Karina Ariev, Naama Levy, Liri Albag, and Daniella Gilboa—were held hostage by Hamas for almost 500 days. Their testimony reveals just how inhumane their captivity was. Image
Their treatment was nothing short of inhumane. Some days, they got two meals. Other days, nothing. And sometimes? Donkey food. Image

As hostages are released from Gaza, some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists are walking out of prison.

🧵 Let's talk about it 👇 Image
Ahmed Barghouti: Serving 13 life sentences for orchestrating 8 attacks that killed 12 Israelis. Once a head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and cousin of Marwan Barghouti. His record is chilling. Image
Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin: Stabbed Ari Fuld, an American-Israeli, in the neck, killing him in 2018. Sentenced to life in prison, yet received monthly "Pay-for-Slay" stipends from the Palestinian Authority. A murderer incentivized. Image
