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?

This set of maps is designed to promote the lie that Israel has been stealing land from "Palestine" since 1946.

Shame on @thetimes for including it in an "explainer."

Here's an explanation of what these maps really show. 🧵 Image
1/
 Map 1: "1946"

The first map purports to show “Historic Palestine,” and is filled with red, indicating that it is one self-governing state. In the period preceding British rule, the region was administered by Turkey and stretched into modern-day Lebanon and Syria. The area at the time was never a sovereign entity in its own right, and the boundaries shown in such a map do not reflect the boundaries of the region as administered by the Ottomans, nor as they appeared under previous rulers.Image
2/
 The yellow "Jewish land" here evidently denotes areas where Jews lived. By that logic, then, surely there should be patches of red in later maps indicating the presence of Arabs living in Israel. By conflating Jews in this map with Israel in later maps, the map fundamentally misleads with regard to the issue it supposedly illustrates: the borders of a "Palestinian" state.

 A blood libel disguised as a tragic war feature. The @nytimes “trauma of Gaza’s children” piece is built on distortions— from photos staged at propaganda sites (spot the red & white gate) to casualty figures framed to demonize Israel. We see you, NYT. 🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/world/middleeast/gaza-children-school-play.html

 NYT says Israel has “killed 18,000 under 18.” The trick? They lump in 16–17-year-old militants with toddlers to paint all as “children.” Hamas’ own ministry admitted most deaths were combat-age males. NYT cherry-picks to make Israel look like baby-killers. Image
3/
 Endless evidence—intel, videos, eyewitnesses—shows Hamas using civilians as shields. The NYT has admitted it before. Yet here, such facts are reduced to “Israeli claims.” Why? Because nothing, not even evidence, can interrupt its vile “Israel kills kids” narrative. Image

She's beloved worldwide.
That’s why Ms. Rachel’s viral misinformation is so dangerous—it doesn’t just entertain millions, it shapes how the next generation sees the world.
With 16M subscribers and billions of views, Ms. Rachel is called the “Mr. Rogers” of our time.
But her foray into Gaza activism isn’t as innocent as it seems. Image
She shared this viral photo of a Gazan child, later revealed to have a congenital condition, and vowed she wouldn’t work with anyone who hadn’t spoken about Gaza. Image

 @TIFF_NET decided to pull an Oct. 7 documentary from its lineup this year.

Why? It claimed it needed permission from Hamas to publish bodycam footage of the massacre.

Let’s take a closer look at the dangers of giving a terror group editorial control 🧵 https://www.timesofisrael.com/toronto-film-fest-nixes-oct-7-doc-screening-said-to-cite-hamas-ownership-of-massacre-clips/

 Hamas live-streamed Oct. 7.

When perpetrators document their horrific crimes for the world to see, they don’t get to decide whether they continue to be shared.

No one questioned when outlets published images taken by photographers of the crimes of Oct. 7 from inside Israel.

 This isn’t new.

When Nazi propagandist & filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl threatened to sue @simonwiesenthal for using her films without permission, Rabbi Marvin Hier famously offered to pay her… in Reichsmarks.

 Despicable from @nytimes.
When the terrorist is Palestinian and his victims are Israeli Jews, the whitewash begins.
Zakaria Zubeidi — unrepentant mass murderer — gets the hero treatment.
Crimes blurred. Victims erased.
Let’s break down this vile feature 🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/world/middleeast/zakaria-zubeidi-palestine-interview.html
2/
 @nytimes paints Zubeidi as a victim – a repentant figure.
Reality: he’s never chosen peace.
From the start, his path was terror.
NYT spins it as if violence was his last resort, when it was always his first choice. Image

NYT calls Ariel Sharon’s visit to the holiest site in Judaism “provocative” and the “spark” for the Second Intifada.
Fact: Yasser Arafat planned it months earlier. Sharon’s visit was the excuse. Image

 .@SkyNews' chief correspondent spent 2 weeks in the West Bank, covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
With all that time and resources, it’s remarkable how much he still got wrong.
Sky News filmed it. We’ll tell you what they didn’t. 🧵
2/
 Sky News repeatedly downplays Israel’s security concerns.
This year alone, Israel’s security service has recorded over 2,000 attacks – from shootings to firebombs.
That’s the reality they brushed aside.
3/
 Jews in the West Bank aren’t a monolith.
They live there for ideological, economic & social reasons.
So why did Sky News pick one man from the hardline Yitzhar settlement to stand in for them all?
