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.
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.

1/ 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.
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).
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.
1/ 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. 🧵
2/ The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.
