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.

Hamas built an underground city. We built the map.🧵 Image
Our new tool geo-locates 37 miles of Hamas’ tunnel network using open-source data—marking the first interactive map exposing the terror grid beneath Gaza.
Hamas spent 15 years and $1 billion creating this underground empire—built under hospitals, homes, schools, mosques, and graveyards.
Israel gets blamed for destruction.
But Hamas built terror into Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.

How does a publicly funded outlet like @abcnews get away with broadcasting this Easter-week pile of propaganda?

Let’s break it down — because reporter @MattDoran91 clearly needs a crash course in journalism, not just social media scrolling.

ABC reports that Christians were “corralled” and “beaten” by Israeli police outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — all apparently based on one viral video Doran spotted on social media. Image
3/
Doran claims Palestinian Christians were “pushed, shoved, and threatened.” Based on what?

What didn’t make it in? A police statement. Or the viral posts debunking earlier footage. Or the weeks of planning to safely host thousands at the Holy Fire ceremony.

As Jews celebrate Passover at the Western Wall, @Independent's version of an @AP story is littered with historical & geographical inaccuracies.

Elevating the status of the Wall omits the Jewish connection to its actual holiest site - the Temple Mount.

Let's take a look. 🧵 Image
Judaism's holiest site is the Temple Mt. The Western Wall is the holiest site where Jews are currently allowed to pray.

King Solomon's Temple stood, not on the area of the Western Wall, but on the Temple Mt. itself.

And "Cohen's blessing?" Time to stop using Google Translate!🤣 Image
The paved area of the Western Wall Plaza is not a remnant of the Second Temple. It is simply the area adjacent to the Western Wall, which, itself, is the remnant of a retaining wall of the Temple Mount. Image

Hamas uses hospitals as shields—and the media lets them.

Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza was the latest example. Hamas turned it into a command center. Israel struck it. And the headlines? They focused on “lack of evidence.”

Let’s break it down.🧵 Image
Instead of asking why Hamas was exploiting a hospital for terror operations, outlets like NPR, NYT, and CNN focused on the IDF not “offering proof” fast enough.

The media’s instinct to doubt Israel—rather than question Hamas—tells you everything. Image
This isn’t the first time.

Back in October 2023, Hamas blamed Israel for bombing Al-Ahli and claimed hundreds of deaths.

But U.S. intel showed it was a misfired rocket by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. And the media still ran with Hamas’ version. Image
