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.

1/ It’s awards season… and while Hollywood hands out trophies for acting, we’re honoring the people who pretended to do journalism. Presenting: Dishonest Reporter of the Year 2025.
Let's find out the winners 👇
2/ 🏆 Winner: The BBC
No outlet worked harder this year to prove that “publicly funded” doesn’t mean “publicly accountable.” Truly a masterclass in bias, blunders & backpedaling. honestreporting.com/exposed-leaked…
3/ Remember that Gaza documentary narrated by… a Hamas minister’s teenage son? The one whose mom got paid? Yeah — that really happened. BBC: Bold. Brave. Or just… 🤦♂️
1/ Since Oct. 7, 2023, major media outlets have repeatedly reported casualty figures from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza as if they were independently verified facts -- with little to no skepticism.
Let's break down the distorted narratives. 🧵
2/ Headlines citing MoH death tolls were widely amplified without attribution to Hamas, allowing a terrorist org’s figures to become the dominant narrative in global reporting.
3/ This has resulted in repeated blood libels in media coverage -- blaming Israel for high civilian death tolls without critically examining the reliability of the source data.
1/ 🌍Are Israeli women living in a dystopian reality where, year by year, they are being stripped of their most basic rights?
No, because the data and imagery used by @CNN to support that narrative distort reality and mislead audiences. 🧵
2/ 📸 The cover image features a “Handmaid’s Tale”-style protest from nearly three years ago against legal reforms -- not a current reflection of women’s rights in Israel. Context matters.
3/ 📊 CNN relies on the Women Peace & Security Index (WPS Index) without questioning its methodology. The index blends unrelated indicators (e.g., cellphone use, conflict exposure), not a pure gender-rights measure.
1/ The New York Times doesn’t use the phrase “ethnic cleansing” in its West Bank project.
It doesn't have to.
Selective imagery, distorted data & erased Palestinian terrorism lead to one conclusion: Israel is driving Palestinians off their land.
That claim is false. 🧵⬇️
2/ The article presents a stark moral narrative: “Armed Israeli settlers, often protected by soldiers, harass and attack Palestinian villagers daily, with the undisguised goal of driving them out.”
It describes masked extremists, rampant violence, state backing, and impunity.
It is frightening. It is also profoundly misleading.
3/ This framing rests on three pillars:
• Inflated & distorted violence statistics
• Visual implication without context
• The near-total erasure of Palestinian terrorism
Remove those pillars – and the narrative collapses.
