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.

After Two Years of Hell, They’re Coming Home – Part 1
Stories of Israeli hostages who survived years of captivity and are finally returning home.
Matan Angrest, 21
A young soldier abducted on Oct 7, 2023.
He was abducted to Gaza unconscious, and has survived sever torture, including electric shocks in Hamas captivity.

Seen weak and under duress in propaganda videos.
1/ Meet Nika Soon-Shiong. She's the pro-Palestinian daughter of the LA Times owner and has recently been appointed publisher of the left-leaning outlet Drop Site News—which now stands to gain a significant injection of funding to spread anti-Israel propaganda. 🧵
2/ Soon-Shiong’s social media reveals a consistent hostility toward Israel & Zionism. She's dismissed the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, described Israel as an “apartheid state” engaged in “genocide,” & even alleged that LA City Council was funding a “Zionist militia.”
3/ She sits on the board of the CPJ—an org that eulogizes so-called Gaza “journalists” who were killed while working for outlets affiliated with Hamas.
How much influence has Soon-Shiong exerted on the CPJ?
1/ 🚨
This is Dr. Khalil al-Daqran — quoted endlessly by @nytimes, @NBCNews, @Reuters, @FRANCE24 as a “hospital spokesman” in Gaza.
Here he is shaking hands with Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct 7 massacre.
This is the media’s “source.” 🧵
2/ Just yesterday @nytimes quoted al-Daqran describing “catastrophic” scenes of disease, sewage, and tents in Gaza.
But on Oct 7, 2023—the day of Hamas’s massacre—this same man was publicly praying for Allah to “defeat the Jews.”
3/ @NBCNews also used al-Daqran to provide Gaza death tolls—numbers repeated worldwide.
But this “doctor” isn’t neutral. On Facebook he praises Hamas leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh, and posts tributes to terror “martyrs.”
1/ 🚨 @BBCNews’ latest “explainer” on Hamas is offensively bad. It reads like PR for a terror group. It sanitizes mass murderers & rapists — exposing the BBC’s contempt for Israel & Jews. The BBC has become what it claims to report on: a platform spreading hate. 🧵
2/ The headline: “What is Hamas and why is it fighting with Israel?”
Not: “Why did Hamas massacre 1,200 Israelis on Oct 7?”
The BBC frames it as a “fight” & parrots Hamas lines — “decades of oppression,” “blockade,” even “defending Islam’s 3rd holiest site.”
3/ Much of it is just wrong. Hamas hasn’t said it only wants the West Bank & East Jerusalem.
It has openly, repeatedly declared it wants to wipe out all Jews & Israelis.
Hamas’s charter is explicit: “Israel will exist until Islam obliterates it.”
The UN's "genocide" case was rigged from the start.🧵
This week, the @unitednations Commission of Inquiry dropped a 72-page report accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza.
The headlines went viral.
@unitednations But the report itself? Not so much.
It was full of biased commissioners, cherry-picked quotes, Hamas-supplied data, omissions of tunnels and hostages, and fabricated stories.
1/ 💥 This @Reuters piece is as vile as its headline. It paints Hezbollah terrorists as victims of Israel’s pager strike. Then it lies — calling the op the “opening salvo” of the war. Wrong. Hezbollah fired first, Oct 8, 2023.
🧵
2/ Like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah hides in hospitals & schools. @Reuters admits this — then calls one a “Hezbollah-affiliated facility.” Translation: a terror outpost where the “hospital director” had a Hezbollah pager for “maintenance.” You can’t make this up.
3/ Reuters brags about an “investigation” proving what Israel already said: it planted explosives in Hezbollah devices. The big reveal? Those devices were with Hezbollah fighters — or, as Reuters coyly puts it, “members of Hezbollah’s social services branches.” Journalism or PR?
