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.
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.

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.
More on Albanese's deeply compromised background from @UNWatch's @HillelNeuer. ⬇️
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.
