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.

Who are the hypocrites who signed onto a boycott of @nytimes, demanding the paper retract its seminal piece on Hamas' Oct. 7 sexual assaults & rapes, “Screams Without Words?”

Some of them call themselves women's rights activists. Me too? Unless you're a Jew... 🧵 Image

WHITEWASH: Responding to our complaint, @MetroUK has stealthily removed the parts of its story that clearly incriminated a Palestinian chess club in Lebanon as terror supporters, as well as @christian_aid's financial support.

But we've got the receipts. 🧵
2/
▪️REMOVED: The photo of terrorist leaders Sinwar and Nasrallah on the chess club wall.

▪️ERASED: This paragraph, where the chess club director proudly acknowledges the terrorist portraits (one of which Metro's correspondent mistakenly identifies as Ismail Haniyeh). Image
3/
▪️AMENDED: A reference to being "martyred" (a favorite term for extremists) now reads as "killed."

▪️SOFTENED: The false implication that the IDF was directly involved in the Sabra & Shatila massacres now says that the Lebanese militia responsible was an Israeli ally. Image

If you want to know who the 2,000 Palestinians freed by Israel *actually* were – don’t go looking in this @nytimes piece. It’ll have you thinking Israel just rounded up random civilians.

We brought receipts. Footage. Photos. Facts.

Here’s what the NYT left out. 🧵 Image
2/
The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.

Al-Awda Hospital? Run by the PFLP.
Founded and staffed by terror operatives.

The @nytimes claims Israel detained women & kids “for no reason.”

Reality: Hamas uses them as lookouts, couriers & informants.

Under Article 78 of the Geneva Convention, Israel may detain for imperative security reasons – with Red Cross access.

Now that the campus mobs who called for Israel’s destruction and terrorized Jewish students have graduated and can’t find jobs, @nytimes is here to launder their image.

We brought the receipts – and the videos show exactly what they were. 🧵 Image
2/
LEFT: @nytimes calls taking over campuses and streets a “remarkable display of strength.”

RIGHT: A Columbia student begging for “humanitarian aid” for protesters barricaded inside Hamilton Hall after breaking the law. "Tables seemed to have turned”…. as they begged for food.Image
3/
LEFT: NYT claims backlash against protests was so harsh it “eroded belief in civil disobedience.”

RIGHT: NYU students hurling bottles and chairs at police. Kinda violent-looking "civil disobedience", no?Image

@Telegraph's story is based entirely on a report by the Hind Rajab Foundation that is simply described as "pro-Palestinian."

What The Telegraph won't say is that the HRF is deeply connected to extremist ideologies & terrorist orgs. 🧵 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a27e23044c65a434
2/
HRF founder & chairman Dyab Abou Jahjah is a former Hezbollah activist & has openly praised figures connected to terrorist orgs. During the Gaza war, he actively demonstrated his support for both Hamas & Hezbollah. Image

Here's Abou Jahjah glorifying Hezbollah leader Sheikh Nasrallah immediately after his death. Image
