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.

Hamas inflates the Gaza death toll, and the media buys it. Here’s how they twist the numbers to mislead the world. 🧵
Ever noticed how death toll headlines dominate the Gaza narrative? Turns out, everything isn’t as it seems. A new report exposes the manipulation behind the numbers.
Systematic errors or deliberate deception? Men counted as women. Adults listed as kids. Even natural deaths get rebranded as war casualties. This isn’t sloppy data—it’s a strategy.
Spoiler: It's not because they couldn’t handle a free press. Let’s unpack what led to this widespread rejection of the Qatari network. 🧵👇
🇯🇴 Jordan:
First accused Al Jazeera of provoking “sedition” back in 2002, then blocked them in 2017 over Qatar tensions. Sedition isn’t journalism, and Jordan made that crystal clear.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia:
In 2017, Saudi Arabia blocked Al Jazeera after Qatar’s leadership openly supported Hamas and Hezbollah. Can you trust a network aligned with terror groups?
Christmas has come early for @Reuters with the same old Israel-bashing story from Bethlehem.
Including an interview with Pastor Munther Isaac, who justified the Oct. 7 massacre & has been described as "the high priest of antisemitic Christianity." 🧵
Munther's activities include board membership of Kairos Palestine, an org whose founding document makes antisemitic statements, such as engaging in replacement theology to deny the Jewish people’s historic connection to Israel.
And just like last year, Munther is pictured by @Reuters with a nativity scene set up by the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, which depicts a baby "Palestinian" Jesus draped in a keffiyeh and laying atop a pile of rubble.
Words like “genocide,” “collective punishment,” and “famine” are often thrown around inaccurately.
Here’s what these terms actually mean—and why they don’t apply to Israel. 🧵
Genocide is about intent: it’s an intentional effort to destroy an entire group. Israel’s goal is to dismantle terror threats, not to target civilians.
Why it doesn’t apply: Israel is operating in self-defense under international law, aiming at military targets—not civilians.
