Woeful misinformation being peddled by @trtworld, and recycled by @YahooNews.

1. Israeli planes have been striking *Hamas assets* in Gaza, not all of Gaza. Citing @AlJazeera should be a hint as to the credibility of the claim. Image
2. An Israeli missile did indeed hit a school in Gaza in mid-August. The missile, fired late at night when no students were around, did not explode.

A critical, even more important, point is whether terrorists were using the school for cover, in defiance of international law.
3. The tried-and-tested Hamas tactic of using schools, homes and hospitals for cover results in fewer terrorist deaths and the tragic death of innocents - something Hamas is responsible for under int'l law. The @Telegraph failed to disclose this vitally important context.
4. And that Telegraph headline is *not* from this year - deceitfully mislabeled as 23 June 2020 - it's actually from six years ago, when a war was being waged between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Do you follow @PopBase, @PopCrave, or @PopTingz?

These accounts present themselves as lighthearted pop culture sources — Taylor Swift tours, K-pop photoshoots, Eurovision updates, and celebrity news.

Yet a closer examination reveals something far more concerning: they are operating as vehicles for a coordinated influence campaign. 🧵
A review of their 𝕏 posts shows an unmistakable pattern: every number below represents posts that explicitly mention Israel.

2025:
• @PopBase: 34
• @PopCrave: 18
• @PopTingz: 7

2026 (through mid-April):
• @PopBase: 13
• @PopCrave: 4
• @PopTingz: 6

Why do accounts that are supposed to be reporting on Pop Culture have such an infatuation with Israel?

This is not incidental news coverage. It is a deliberate, disproportionate focus.
While these accounts flood feeds with Coachella lineups and album releases, the only other consistent topic is Israel — always framed through an anti-Israel lens.

Examples include:
• Praising Ghassan Kanafani, a terrorist linked to the 1972 Lod Airport massacre that killed 26 civilians.
• Random posts about the Iran War and the Strait of Hormuz amid pop culture content.
• Labeling Israel’s war on Hamas “genocide” while pushing boycotts.

Italian magazine @espressonline put a photo of a Jewish IDF soldier and a Palestinian woman on its cover under the headline “The Abuse.” It played on all of the emotional tropes: an abusive man vs. the abused woman; the heartless Israeli monster vs. the powerless Palestinian.

But press play, and the narrative falls apart.🧵Image
@espressonline It went viral, racking up more than 3.7 million views on X alone. Like clockwork, antisemitic accounts reposted the image. Image
@espressonline The photo itself was taken by Pietro Masturzo in October 2025. After backlash from people claiming it was AI-generated, he released a video of the incident to prove it was real.
But the footage showed something very different than what the photo sold on the front page.

The @Guardian just ran a fawning profile of UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese – they even call her a “rockstar.”

In the opening scene, a Geneva café supposedly lines up for selfies. It reads like fan fiction, not journalism.

And it only gets worse. 🧵 Image
Image
2/
Borger gushes that Albanese is the first person with “UN” in her title to accuse Israel of genocide.
Translation: she used a UN platform to push a claim that doesn’t survive contact with facts.

Genocide means intent to destroy a people.
Israel fought Hamas, a terror group embedded among civilians, with evacuation warnings, aid facilitation, judicial oversight. Not genocide. War.

And on Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day?
The Guardian chose that moment to trivialize the word beyond recognition. The timing can only be deliberate.Image
3/
The piece paints Albanese as persecuted – hated by states, threatened, even sanctioned by the U.S.

But this isn’t about “choice of words.” It’s about a pattern:
– Justifying Oct. 7
– Support for terrorism
– Crossing from criticism into incitement

That’s why she’s been challenged. Take away her UN badge, and she’s just another terror apologist.

Yet Borger’s scandal isn’t what she’s said – it’s that anyone dares to notice.

🧵 THREAD: This was coordinated.

Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes, the exact same clip, same caption, same outrage floods the internet.

Not organic. Not coincidence.

Labs tracked it in real time.
What we found will shock you. HonestReporting.ai
Image
The trigger quote, "The Israelis drove the decision" to go to war with Iran, was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously.
Not minutes after it trended. During the broadcast.
Real breaking news takes time to spread. This had a running start. Image
Who amplified it? A coalition that should make you raise an eyebrow.
🇷🇺 Russian state TV (RT)
🇮🇷 Iranian state media (HispanTV)
🇶🇦 Hamas-aligned Quds News Network
🇹🇷 TRT (Turkish state broadcaster)
🇧🇷 Sputnik Brasil
… AND Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, MTG, and Max Blumenthal.
Russia, Iran, Hamas, and Alt Right dissidents. All posting the same thing. At the same time.
Ask yourself: when does that happen naturally?

The antisemite and Mamdani's wife🧵 Image
New York City’s First Lady, Rama Duwaji, illustrated an essay co-edited by Susan Abulhawa, a Palestinian-American activist who has used dehumanizing language about Jews and described Hamas’ October 7 attack as “spectacular.” Image
Image
Image
This comes after reports that Duwaji liked 70+ posts praising Hamas’ October 7 attacks. Mamdani’s response? He said neither he nor his wife knew Abulhawa and called the rhetoric “reprehensible.”

Did America Bomb A School in Iran?
Here's everything we know so far.🧵
Iranian state media claimed dozens of girls were killed at a school in Minab, death tolls were circulated, and Western outlets repeated the story before any independent verification. Image
Image
Here’s what we know: the school was located inside an IRGC compound. Over the past year, the regime has embedded weapons and personnel inside civilian sites, prompting Iranians themselves to warn one another about schools and hospitals being used for military purposes. Image
