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/ This man – now a “moderate voice” on @FRANCE24 – once praised Hitler and said burning Jews “like Hitler did” would make him “extremely happy.”
Fady Hanona is now a refugee in France, appearing on TV to tell Israel to accept a ceasefire.
2/ Hanona wasn’t just some fringe voice.
He worked as a fixer for @nytimes, shaping coverage of Gaza.
After we exposed his hate-filled posts, the NYT cut ties.
But @FRANCE24? They hired him as a producer.
No problem, just add a disclaimer about his “militant rhetoric.”
@nytimes @FRANCE24 3/
Now France 24 says Hanona is a “voice of reason and moderation.”
This, from a man who wrote: “Give me a Palestinian soldier and a German weapon and I will make Europe crawl… Israel will submit.”
1/ Hey @FRANCE24, your “explainer” on Palestine’s Long Road to Recognition is a masterclass in revisionist history.
You skipped key facts, whitewashed terror, and twisted the timeline.
Let’s set the record straight. 🧵
2/ 🟦Israel accepted the 1947 UN partition.
🟦Five Arab armies invaded.
🟦Many Palestinians fled after promises of an easy Arab victory.
None of this made your timeline.
3/ You claim the Second Intifada was sparked by Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount.
What you don’t say:
🟥Arafat planned it in advance.
🟥It involved hundreds of suicide bombings and shootings targeting civilians.
🧵 1/
Jeremy Bowen’s latest “analysis” for @BBCNews is exactly what you’d expect: bias, omissions, and inflammatory framing dressed up as journalism.
Let’s break down how the BBC International Editor pushes his latest smears against Israel. bbc.com/news/articles/…
2/ Bowen writes the ICJ “alleges [Israel] is committing genocide."
Wrong.
South Africa made the accusation. The court hasn’t ruled. There’s a difference between a legal claim and a legal judgment – and Bowen blurs that line.
Carelessness or deliberate?
3/ Bowen vaguely says a ceasefire is “looking more possible.”
Here’s what he doesn’t say:
Israel already accepted a ceasefire deal – making major concessions to bring the hostages home.
Hamas said no.
But facts like that ruin the narrative, don’t they?
- A church in the West Bank “set ablaze by settlers”
- Local church leaders pushed the claim
- Global diplomats echoed it
- @AP, @CBSNews, @Reuters and @AFP ran with it – no questions asked
But the truth about Taybeh tells a different story.
2/ Video obtained by @TPS_News_co_il told a different story.
Jewish teens were seen running toward a small brushfire near grazing land, carrying fire extinguishers and safety gear.
From the start of the war, Hamas has skimmed, stolen, and sold aid meant for Gazan civilians. Now that food is being delivered for free, with no cut for them, they’re trying to shut it down. Here's a breakdown of 7 times Hamas has sabotaged free aid. ➡️
Hamas brought guns to an aid site and sparked deadly violence. Why? Because free aid threatens their profits and power.
Hamas used fake Telegram posts to sow chaos around aid delivery. When they can’t control the system, they sabotage it.
According to the Reuters digital database, Rouqa has been employed by the wire service since November 2023.
Her Instagram & Facebook accounts reveal that she was simultaneously working for the Houthis' Al-Masirah — reporting on the same stories for both Reuters & the terrorists.
On April 25-26, 2023, for example, Rouqa produced reports from Nasser hospital in Gaza for both Reuters and Al-Masirah 👇
