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.
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.
1/ A Gaza ceasefire doesn’t mean peace on campus. The new frontlines of antisemitism are being drawn in universities - in classrooms, student unions, and lecture halls.
2/ At Princeton, a course titled “Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide” will teach students that Israel is committing genocide - based on debunked UN claims and a false story about Israel “destroying embryos.”
This isn’t scholarship. It’s propaganda.
3/ The course also compares Gaza to the Holocaust - a morally bankrupt inversion that trivializes the industrial murder of six million Jews.
1/ Reading Sally Hayden's description in @IrishTimes of her time in two south Lebanese villages, you'd think the IDF attacked them without cause.
Her own video footage includes this billboard of a "martyr commander."
And there's more. 🧵
2/ Another image from a Lebanese village, possibly another "martyr."
Note the logo in the top left corner, which appears to be that of Hezbollah.
3/ One of the villages is Ayta al-Shaab. Even a cursory internet search reveals that the IDF said it had destroyed 103 terror targets, including 51 tunnel shafts & 9 rocket launchers, with tunnels reaching approx 25m deep.
Two top execs – Tim Davie & Deborah Turness – forced to quit after a bombshell dossier exposed bias and even doctored footage of Trump.
You’d think that would spark real change, right?
WRONG. 🧵🎥
2/ Instead of accountability, BBC’s highest-paid “journalists” – and even some of its famous former ones – are playing the victims.
From Jeremy Bowen to Emily Maitlis, the reactions say it all. 👇
3/ First up: @jeremybowen.
Rather than own up to the damage he’s done to the BBC’s credibility, he previously said he “doesn’t regret one thing” about his false reporting of the Al-Ahli Hospital blast in 2023.
That lie spread across the world. No regrets. No shame. 🎥
1/ Who are the hypocrites who signed onto a boycott of @nytimes, demanding the paper retract its seminal piece on Hamas' Oct. 7 sexual assaults & rapes, “Screams Without Words?”
Some of them call themselves women's rights activists. Me too? Unless you're a Jew... 🧵
@nytimes 2/
♀️ dream hampton (yes, she stylizes her name without capitals): A self-described feminist, she was the executive producer for the film “Surviving R. Kelly,” which brought to light the sexual assault allegations against the singer & ultimately led to his conviction.

♀️ Mariame Kaba: co-founded Chicago Taskforce on Violence against Girls. Also co-chaired a committee at the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women’s Network & served on the editorial board of the journal, Violence Against Women.
