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.

🧵 Same outlets. Same source. Two very different reactions.
Side by side, so you can see it for yourself.
On Dec 11, Amnesty International released a long-delayed report concluding Hamas committed crimes against humanity on Oct. 7, 2023.
⬇️ Keep reading.
2/ Even Amnesty International – which delayed this report to avoid appearing “pro-Israel” – concluded that Hamas committed crimes against humanity on Oct. 7.
Its own findings cite murder, torture, rape and sexual violence, extermination and other inhumane acts – committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack on civilians. amnesty.org/en/documents/m…
3/ Now look at how major media outlets responded.
⬅️ NBC amplifying Amnesty’s genocide accusation against Israel
➡️ NBC showing zero results for Amnesty’s report on Hamas crimes against humanity
Same organization.
Same outlet.
Very different interest.
How Western journalists turn Palestinian terrorism into something sympathetic, inevitable – or Israel’s fault.
A new “feature” repeats every move in the playbook.
Keep reading.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
2/ The piece opens with a fiction: that Palestinian attacks were basically a reaction to Israeli incursions into West Bank towns during the Second Intifada.
Reality: terror attacks on Israeli civilians surged before, during and after that period – hitting buses, cafés, hotels, families.
The Guardian flips the timeline to soften the violence.
3/ Then we get this: Israeli communities are “illegal under international law.”
That’s false.
The US, for example, rejects that framing, many legal scholars dispute it, and only some small outposts are illegal – and Israel removes them.
But the Guardian needs the word “illegal” & suggests total agreement to set up its morality play.
🚨 EXPOSED:
Foreign press elites honored terrorists as “journalists” – then gave Qatari state propaganda outlet Al Jazeera a “press freedom” cash grant.
This happened in Washington, DC.
🧵👇
2/ At its gala, @ForeignPressUSA honored top US reporters & then eulogized Gaza reporters exposed as Hamas & Islamic Jihad operatives.
Fox’s @TreyYingst praised them as “fearless and tenacious journalists.”
The room even held a moment of silence for them.
3/ 🔴 Anas Al-Sharif
• Hamas cell leader running rocket attacks
• Terror payroll & training records
• Selfies with Sinwar
• Praised Oct 7 killers as “heroes”
Memorialized as a journalist.
There is real suffering in Gaza.
But some of the “evidence” going viral isn’t real at all, and millions of people are forming opinions based on manufactured scenes.
One viral clip showed a little boy shivering from the cold as his father pleaded into the camera. But the full video shows what was cut out: the boy suddenly stops “shivering” once he thinks the camera is off.
It was staged.
Another widely shared image showed children standing in floodwater with rubble behind them. But one detail gave it away: a child with his head on backwards.
This wasn’t footage from Gaza — it was AI-generated content passed off as real.
