Just who are some of the "UN experts" quoted by international media claiming famine has spread throughout Gaza?
They may use the imprimatur of the UN but, in reality, they aren't the credible, impartial sources you or the media may think. 🧵
◾️ Francesca Albanese has previously apologized after antisemitic posts on her personal social media profile were uncovered and has likened the Jewish state to Nazism.

Is Israel really using LGBTQ+ rights to hide its policies towards Palestinians? 🧵

BDS activists claim Israel uses LGBTQ+ rights as a distraction. But what's the real story behind these accusations?
Israel has been a trailblazer in LGBTQ+ rights for 3 decades! Discrimination banned since 1992, and military open to all in 1993 – nearly 20 years before the US. 🏳️🌈
Claiming to be a “report on eight months of claim & counter-claim” about the sexual violence against Israelis on Oct 7, @thetimes foreign correspondent @scribblercat & @gabrielle_siviais' story is nothing more than a muddle of victim-blaming & bias. 🧵 thetimes.com/magazines/the-…
The piece claims the atrocities, specifically the sexual assaults & rapes, are Israel’s most “contentious” assertion of what occurred on Oct 7.
The writers evidently don’t believe sexual violence occurred & they'll try their hardest to convince readers not to believe it either.
Much of the piece discusses the UN report by Pramila Patten, which we are told came during a “furious row” in which they suggest allegations of antisemitism were weaponized — and not the fact that it seemed that Jewish women were the only group not believed about sexual assault.
