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.

Signed in September 1995, Oslo II divided the West Bank into Areas A, B and C.
▪️A: PA civil and security control.
▪️B: PA civil control; Israel retained overriding security responsibility.
▪️C: Israeli civil and security control during the interim period, with its final status unresolved. honestreporting.com/area-a-b-c-wes…

Rabin was no right-wing settler ideologue. A former IDF chief of staff and defense minister, he viewed the West Bank primarily through a security lens.
On October 5, 1995 – one month before his assassination – the Labor prime minister said Israel would keep the major settlement blocs, reject a return to the 1967 lines and retain the Jordan Valley as its eastern security border “in the broadest meaning of that term.”
That position drew on the Labor movement’s post-1967 Allon Plan: Israeli control of the Jordan Valley and strategic highlands, while densely populated Palestinian areas would fall under Arab sovereignty.
These were security red lines – not inventions of Israel’s current right-wing government. youtube.com/watch?v=kZ138c…
1/5 Who is on the Committee to Protect Journalists (@pressfreedom) payroll?
The latest reporting on the inner workings of CPJ, together with extraordinary claims from inside the organisation itself, paint a deeply troubling picture.
This is wild.
🧵
2/5 First, our research published by @FreeBeacon @Kredo0 found CPJ's ranks include people who have:
• accused Israel of "genocide"
• promoted BDS
• in one case, authored a manifesto calling for "resistance and revolutionary violent pressure" against the "Zionist occupation."
This is the organization much of the world's media treats as an impartial authority.
3/5 Days earlier, the virulently anti-Israel website Electronic Intifada (@intifada) published an article claiming to have spoken to current and former CPJ staff.
According to those sources, they were furious that CPJ removed 20 names from its Gaza "journalists" database after evidence linked some to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including eight killed while participating in combat.
1/ @AP portrays Hamas' announcement that it's dissolving its Gaza government as a potentially positive step.
But the story omits key context that makes the announcement far less meaningful. 🧵
2/ AP writes that Hamas "did not say whether it planned" to disarm, leaving the impression the question remains open.
But Hamas has already made its position clear, repeatedly and publicly rejecting disarmament. aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/8/…
3/ Likewise, stating Hamas "has insisted on implementing the first phase before moving to discuss its weapons" again leaves readers with the impression Hamas is merely delaying talks, rather than outright rejecting disarmament.
This video from the #SanFranciscoTransMarch is going viral: State Sen. @Scott_Wiener is confronted by protesters, shouted down, and accused of being “wonderful for trans people but terrible on Gaza.”
Wiener is openly gay, Jewish, and currently running for Congress.
The clip is being shared as a moment of accountability. That’s not true.👇🧵 x.com/decadimitry/st…
Wiener has spent years building a strong record on LGBTQ issues in California.
That includes legislation on HIV decriminalization, PrEP access, LGBTQ senior protections, nonbinary ID markers, and policies aimed at protecting transgender individuals.
Whatever one thinks of those measures, they reflect a long and consistent political commitment. sd11.senate.ca.gov/biography/sena…
On Israel and Gaza, Wiener has not been a cautious moderate. He has accused the Netanyahu government of “genocide,” backed Palestinian statehood, taken the Reject AIPAC pledge, and spoken repeatedly against settlements and settler violence to stay aligned with anti-Israel activist opinion. scottwiener.com/foreign-policy
The UN Human Rights Council issued a report claiming that the IDF deliberately targeted Gazan children.
Within hours, it was everywhere. Headlines. Social media. Even Ms. Rachel shared it, calling the report “indisputable evidence.”
But the report doesn’t actually contain any evidence.
Let’s break it down.🧵(1/6)
(2/6)
Crimes against humanity.
War crimes.
Genocide.
These are just some of the claims, and among the gravest accusations under international law.
Yet the Pillay Commission cannot point to a single verified example of an IDF soldier identifying a civilian child and deliberately choosing to kill them.
Instead, it substitutes the fact that children died in war as “proof” of deliberate targeting.
But a civilian casualty, although tragic, does not prove intent.
(3/6)
In every incident examined, the Commission admits it cannot confirm:
- who fired the shot
- whether militants were present
- whether combat was happening nearby
- what the battlefield circumstances were
And yet, it reaches a “clear conclusion” every time.
Doctors are cited as experts on weapons and ballistics. Family members are treated as battlefield intelligence. Bullet fragments are presented as proof, with no chain of custody and no forensic verification provided.
The UN's own guidelines require findings to be corroborated by two independent, reliable sources.
The Pillay Commission doesn't meet that standard.
