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

Here are 3 “journalists” whose work is more about propaganda than reporting. 🧵 Image
Meet Plestia Alaqad: She spread the false “massacre” story about Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital, even though the explosion was later traced to a misfired Palestinian rocket.

Yet, major outlets like The Washington Post & The Guardian continue to give her a platform. Image
Hind Khoudary isn’t just reporting—she’s collaborating. She once alerted Hamas about Gazan peace activists meeting with Israelis, leading to arrests.

So why does she still have credibility with outlets like The Washington Post and The Independent? Image

How did Israel’s path to statehood really unfold?

On the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, let’s dig into the history behind the British Mandate—a story of promises, resistance, and resilience. 🧵 Image
Before Israel, the land was under Ottoman rule for 400 years. After WWI, the British took control, reviving the name “Palestine” politically for the first time since the 7th century. Image
Britain made some big promises during WWI: Arab independence, a secret deal with France to carve up the Middle East, and the Balfour Declaration—a public commitment to a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Image

If you want an illustration of biased @BBCNews coverage, look no further than this mess. 🧵

A bus stop was not the target of the truck. The people it hit were the targets. And the truck did not have agency, it was driven by a perpetrator. Image
Any advice given by the US would have been received by the Israeli government. In Jerusalem, the Israeli capital. Not Tel Aviv. Image

0/10 for original journalism, @CNN. Only in the past 10 days, both @nytimes & @guardian have published almost identical stories accusing the IDF of using Palestinians as human shields.

So what's the connection & what's the problem? 🧵
edition.cnn.com/2024/10/24/mid…
All 3 stories use Breaking the Silence, whose critics repeatedly allege, appears to frequently rely on “either fabricated or exaggerated” testimonies from former soldiers & are “motivated by financial & political concerns to further a pro-Palestinian agenda.”

CNN interviews only 5 Palestinians and one anonymous IDF soldier provided by Breaking the Silence.

This is not enough to prove widespread malfeasance throughout the Israeli army. Image
