[Thread] This is outrageous: "UAE-owned Sky News Arabia removes 'Palestine' from interview backdrop" - middleeastmonitor.com/20200921-uae-o… However, it's not the only time @skynewsarabia have engaged in blatant disinformation and provocation. See following >
2/ Much of this relates to the skynewsarabia presented @a_albander . In May, he stoked fears of a fake coup in Qatar, posting debunked doctored videos of gunfire and screenshots of a flight radar [not] showing warplanes in Qatar
3/ and @a_albander also spread fake news that the WTO had ruled in favour of Saudi Arabia in their ruling about whether Saudi had failed to stop the industrial level piracy of @beINSPORTS_EN
4/ He also attacked journalist Jad Ghosn because...Wait for it.... he criticised the murder of Jamal Khashoggi

The earliest public post I could find for that fake quote about Hamas celebrating the Bondi Beach attacks (yes - the same fake quotes shared by @BillAckman @TRobinsonNewEra @EYakoby @WarMonitor3) appears to be @HenMazzig, but he deleted it. The second was an Indian pharmacist... Image
Link to deleted tweet:
Well technically this is the link, but the above tweet shows you someone quoting it:

🧵1/ Quite expected how the Israeli press and Hasbara are trying to convince the world @FranceskAlbs was removed from Georgetown's affiliated faculty due to her antisemitism.

Actually, she was removed because she has been sanctioned by the US government Image
2/ As Maria Mayda, director of Georgetown University's ISIM said, '“U.S. institutions are prohibited by federal law from affiliating with individuals subject to U.S. sanctions,” she said. Image
3/ Furthermore, Albanese was sanctioned due to her 'engaging' with the ICC, pursuant to Trump's sanctions on the ICC - not antisemitsm. Antisemitism is mentioned, as is criticism of Israel and 'the west'. But as you can see, this is just ad hominem

It's finally here! Remember that weird group of Emirati influencers you keep seeing online. Well I've done a VERY deep dive, & the story is even weirder than you can imagine!

"Amjad Taha, Muslim Brotherhood Maxxing & the Emirati #Dysinfluencer Factory"
open.substack.com/pub/marcowenjo…Image
2/ Until late 2024, most people had never heard of this group of Emirati influencers, including the somewhat infamous Rauda AlTenaiji. Then they appeared everywhere: op-eds, podcasts, think tanks, conferences. This piece maps how that visibility was built. Image
3/ This open source investigation documents a pattern of manufactured influence: coordinated account creation, shared studios, pseudo-news sites, AI-assisted content, and systematic amplification across platforms. Image

1/🧵🤖 - BIG YEMEN BOT ANALYSIS THREAD

In the past week, hashtags linked to Southern #Yemen have surged on X notably:
القوات الجنوبيه طارده_للارهاب (“Southern forces are expelling terrorism”).

👉TLDR: over 5000 X bots are promoting promoting STC control of southern Yemen Image
2/ First, context: Saudi Arabia has mobilised up to 20,000 fighters on Yemen’s borders after the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) made significant territorial advances in Hadhramaut and Mahra theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…
3/ The STC is using these gains to push for a return to two states, arguing that an independent South would act as a bulwark against terrorism and protect Red Sea shipping routes. Much of the international community continue to emphasise Yemen’s territorial unity.

🧵1/🚨AI is learning Israel's disinformation.

On 13/08, a fake quote attributed to Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya circulated on X:

“The countdown to the next massacre has begun. Next time we will slaughter all the Jews"

It was debunked, but Gemini later stated it as fact > Image
2/ Firstly, this super sus account was the first I could find spreading the rumour on X (7.49 am UK time 13/08). @RonanMark572778 - whoever this 'pilot and physician' is has sent >113k tweets since July 2023. He also has a verified account (rememeber verification = algo boost). Image
3/ The narrative then was picked up on X by other accounts and influencers, changing ever so slightly. Accounts like @FleurHassanN @thevoicetruth1 (lol) got a lot of engagement and 'legitimised' the rumour.

NOTE: Not one of these accounts is providing a source to the quote. Image

🧵🚨1/ This verified X account posing as an American doctor has been spreading pro-Israel propaganda, justifying the killing of journalists, and posting predominantly anti–Sudanese Armed Forces content. The account is fake.>
#disinformation #gazagenocide #Sudan Image
2/ The first clear red flags are the tweets versus creation date ratio.

The account was created in 2009, but has only tweeted 1090 times, and the first of those was on April 2025. This means the account has been appropriated/hacked/bought and its old tweets scrubbed. Image
3/ I located the unique user id of the account. I ran this user id via the botometer archive of bots and it tells me that in February 2023 the account was called 'sitaramks', not 'nate_jone' Image
