Why is @ArwaM attempting to sanitize the true aims of BDS in the @guardian?

It's not a mere attempt to get "Israel to comply with international law" but a hate campaign designed to chip away at Israel's legitimacy. Image
As Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS, says:

“Definitely most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.”

(Separately he clarifies that “Palestine” means all of Israel.)
Or as As’ad AbuKhalil, California State University Professor of Political Science, BDS leader and activist, made abundantly clear:

“The real aim of BDS is to bring down the State of Israel…this should be stated as an unambiguous goal.”
Want to learn more about the true goals of BDS, and whether it's protected by free speech?

Meet Nika Soon-Shiong. She's the pro-Palestinian daughter of the LA Times owner and has recently been appointed publisher of the left-leaning outlet Drop Site News—which now stands to gain a significant injection of funding to spread anti-Israel propaganda. 🧵 Image
2/
Soon-Shiong’s social media reveals a consistent hostility toward Israel & Zionism. She's dismissed the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, described Israel as an “apartheid state” engaged in “genocide,” & even alleged that LA City Council was funding a “Zionist militia.” Image
3/
She sits on the board of the CPJ—an org that eulogizes so-called Gaza “journalists” who were killed while working for outlets affiliated with Hamas.

How much influence has Soon-Shiong exerted on the CPJ?

This is Dr. Khalil al-Daqran — quoted endlessly by @nytimes, @NBCNews, @Reuters, @FRANCE24 as a “hospital spokesman” in Gaza.
Here he is shaking hands with Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct 7 massacre.
This is the media’s “source.” 🧵 Image
2/
Just yesterday @nytimes quoted al-Daqran describing “catastrophic” scenes of disease, sewage, and tents in Gaza.
But on Oct 7, 2023—the day of Hamas’s massacre—this same man was publicly praying for Allah to “defeat the Jews.” Image
3/
@NBCNews also used al-Daqran to provide Gaza death tolls—numbers repeated worldwide.
But this “doctor” isn’t neutral. On Facebook he praises Hamas leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh, and posts tributes to terror “martyrs.” Image

🚨 @BBCNews’ latest “explainer” on Hamas is offensively bad. It reads like PR for a terror group. It sanitizes mass murderers & rapists — exposing the BBC’s contempt for Israel & Jews. The BBC has become what it claims to report on: a platform spreading hate. 🧵 Image
2/
The headline: “What is Hamas and why is it fighting with Israel?”
Not: “Why did Hamas massacre 1,200 Israelis on Oct 7?”
The BBC frames it as a “fight” & parrots Hamas lines — “decades of oppression,” “blockade,” even “defending Islam’s 3rd holiest site.” Image
3/
Much of it is just wrong. Hamas hasn’t said it only wants the West Bank & East Jerusalem.
It has openly, repeatedly declared it wants to wipe out all Jews & Israelis.
Hamas’s charter is explicit: “Israel will exist until Islam obliterates it.” Image

The UN's "genocide" case was rigged from the start.🧵
This week, the @unitednations Commission of Inquiry dropped a 72-page report accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza.

The headlines went viral. Image
Image
@unitednations But the report itself? Not so much.
It was full of biased commissioners, cherry-picked quotes, Hamas-supplied data, omissions of tunnels and hostages, and fabricated stories. Image

💥 This @Reuters piece is as vile as its headline. It paints Hezbollah terrorists as victims of Israel’s pager strike. Then it lies — calling the op the “opening salvo” of the war. Wrong. Hezbollah fired first, Oct 8, 2023.
🧵 Image
2/
Like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah hides in hospitals & schools. @Reuters admits this — then calls one a “Hezbollah-affiliated facility.” Translation: a terror outpost where the “hospital director” had a Hezbollah pager for “maintenance.” You can’t make this up. Image
3/
Reuters brags about an “investigation” proving what Israel already said: it planted explosives in Hezbollah devices. The big reveal? Those devices were with Hezbollah fighters — or, as Reuters coyly puts it, “members of Hezbollah’s social services branches.” Journalism or PR? Image
