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?

Palestinian leadership has had multiple chances for statehood—yet time and again, they’ve said no. The history of rejected peace deals tells a story the media won’t. Let’s break it down. 🧵⬇️ Image
1947: The UN proposed two states—one Jewish, one Arab. Israel said yes. Arab leaders said no and launched a war. The result? A lost opportunity and a harsher reality for Palestinians. Image
1967: After the Six-Day War, the UN offered a path to peace. The Arab League’s response? No peace. No recognition. No negotiations. They didn’t just reject a deal—they rejected Israel’s existence. Image

Meet Ramzi Adel. He filmed himself infiltrating Israel on Oct. 7 & congratulating a terrorist for "unloading" his gun on "a pile of Jews."

He calls Jews "dogs" & filmed Israelis being violently assaulted.

And @GettyImages is selling his footage for thousands of dollars. 🧵
@GettyImages Adel's footage is available on Getty via its arrangement with Turkish @anadoluagency. He is also listed there as a worker of the Palestinian Red Crescent, which is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Image
@GettyImages @anadoluagency The video begins with the excited Adel filming the Gaza border fence from the Israeli side, with his off-camera narration & repeated “Allahu Akbar” calls.

He continues documenting as he goes deeper into Israeli territory, greeting a terrorist with “May Allah protect you, man.”

🎬 No Other Land: When the truth doesn’t fit the script.🧵 Image
The Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land paints Israel as the villain—but it’s missing half the story. Image
For starters, Masafer Yatta wasn’t a Palestinian town—it was historically Bedouin grazing land. Image

Trust @UPI's Adam Schrader to abuse the torture of released Israeli hostage Eli Sharabi by twisting the story to falsely claim Palestinian prisoners are being treated in the same way.

Enough of this false equivalence between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. 🧵 Image
There was no famine in the Gaza Strip. But that doesn't stop Shrader from referring to "famine-like conditions" faced by "Israeli hostages & Palestinians alike."

Fully fed Hamas terrorists deliberately starved Israeli hostages. There is no "alike" here. Image
Yet again, Schrader's primary Palestinian source is @EuroMedHR, a Hamas front organization with a history of peddling disinformation and propaganda.

Somehow though, it's Israel that is spreading falsehoods according to Schrader. Image

1️⃣ The media just got played—again.

Major outlets blindly echoed Hamas propaganda about the Bibas family’s murder, treating terrorist claims as fact while ignoring forensic evidence. Here’s how they failed. 🧵⬇️ Image
2️⃣ AP parroted Hamas claims that the Bibas family was "killed in an Israeli airstrike"—even after Israeli forensics confirmed the babies were murdered by Hamas terrorists. It took AP over 48 hours to acknowledge the truth.

This isn't reporting. It's propaganda laundering. Image
3️⃣ AP's follow-up was no better. Instead of calling it murder, they vaguely stated the Bibas family "died in captivity."

Shiri Bibas and her two young children didn’t simply “die.” They were brutally murdered by hand. Why won’t AP say it? Image
