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

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... 🧵 Image

♀️ 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. Image

WHITEWASH: Responding to our complaint, @MetroUK has stealthily removed the parts of its story that clearly incriminated a Palestinian chess club in Lebanon as terror supporters, as well as @christian_aid's financial support.

But we've got the receipts. 🧵
2/
▪️REMOVED: The photo of terrorist leaders Sinwar and Nasrallah on the chess club wall.

▪️ERASED: This paragraph, where the chess club director proudly acknowledges the terrorist portraits (one of which Metro's correspondent mistakenly identifies as Ismail Haniyeh). Image
3/
▪️AMENDED: A reference to being "martyred" (a favorite term for extremists) now reads as "killed."

▪️SOFTENED: The false implication that the IDF was directly involved in the Sabra & Shatila massacres now says that the Lebanese militia responsible was an Israeli ally. Image

If you want to know who the 2,000 Palestinians freed by Israel *actually* were – don’t go looking in this @nytimes piece. It’ll have you thinking Israel just rounded up random civilians.

We brought receipts. Footage. Photos. Facts.

Here’s what the NYT left out. 🧵 Image
2/
The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.

Al-Awda Hospital? Run by the PFLP.
Founded and staffed by terror operatives.

The @nytimes claims Israel detained women & kids “for no reason.”

Reality: Hamas uses them as lookouts, couriers & informants.

Under Article 78 of the Geneva Convention, Israel may detain for imperative security reasons – with Red Cross access.

Now that the campus mobs who called for Israel’s destruction and terrorized Jewish students have graduated and can’t find jobs, @nytimes is here to launder their image.

We brought the receipts – and the videos show exactly what they were. 🧵 Image
2/
LEFT: @nytimes calls taking over campuses and streets a “remarkable display of strength.”

RIGHT: A Columbia student begging for “humanitarian aid” for protesters barricaded inside Hamilton Hall after breaking the law. "Tables seemed to have turned”…. as they begged for food.Image
3/
LEFT: NYT claims backlash against protests was so harsh it “eroded belief in civil disobedience.”

RIGHT: NYU students hurling bottles and chairs at police. Kinda violent-looking "civil disobedience", no?Image

@Telegraph's story is based entirely on a report by the Hind Rajab Foundation that is simply described as "pro-Palestinian."

What The Telegraph won't say is that the HRF is deeply connected to extremist ideologies & terrorist orgs. 🧵 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a27e23044c65a434
2/
HRF founder & chairman Dyab Abou Jahjah is a former Hezbollah activist & has openly praised figures connected to terrorist orgs. During the Gaza war, he actively demonstrated his support for both Hamas & Hezbollah. Image

Here's Abou Jahjah glorifying Hezbollah leader Sheikh Nasrallah immediately after his death. Image
