1 Antisemitism is a pillar of anti-Israel activism.
Wherever the Palestinian flag is raised in the west - antisemitism will be one of the key pillars holding it aloft.
2. You only have to look at the demographic history of the MENA region to know that the major ethnic cleansing that took place in the last 100 years was Jews being removed from arab lands. An obvious and undeniable truth.
3 Most of what is said about Israel by pro-Palestinian campaigners is absolute garbage. Fiction - demonising lies, bunkum and poppycock.
You therefore have to wonder - why anti-Israel activists have to tell so many lies. Why are they scared of the truth.
4. Reverse causality. The conflict ONLY exists today because the Soviet Union, despotic Arab states and UNRWA wanted perpetual conflict. They deliberately created a near unsolvable puzzle between 1948 and 1967.
And then they blamed Israel for everything.
5. The worst offenders against Palestinian human rights are Palestinians and their Arab brothers. From Lebanon to Egypt, Kuwait to Syria and back to Gaza - there has been untold violence, repression, Apartheid & slaughter.
yet nobody cares -least of all BDS, the BBC or Guardian
6. If Israel acted exactly the same but had a Muslim majority - all those fighting against it today would hold it aloft as a shining example of Muslim tolerance, society and democracy.
The hate is all about Israel's Jewish identity.

This is not the face of famine. It is the face of a medically vulnerable child whose tragic situation was hijacked and weaponised.
Exposing the truth behind the viral Gaza 'famine' image of Mohammed Al-Matouq. 1/13
🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
You’ve seen the photo. A starving Gazan child. Bones showing. Headline after headline claiming it was proof of famine.
It ran on the front page of the Daily Express on 23 July. Then Sky News, CNN, NYT, BBC, Guardian, and others picked it up.
But they left something out. 2/13
Let me just start with other images the media chose not to use. Photographs of Mohammed with his 3-year-old brother Joud. Both mother and brother are healthy and fed.
Any honest journalist should have immediately questioned – and reported - what we were actually seeing. 3/13
BBC really cannot help itself.
@bbcnews really is a puppet for Hamas - a radical Islamic terror group.
You want proof? Just look at the BBC's headline right now:
Thread 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC is running a headline on its front page. It claims '21 children have died from malnutrition in the last 72 hours':
Inside the 'live' page, it is clear that the news comes from a single source - Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya - the director of Shifa Hospital. He is the one who told the BBC that 900,000 children in Gaza are suffering from hunger, 70,000 of them in a state of malnutrition.
Seen the latest 'massacre at aid site' headlines? They are the result of a vicious and deliberate demonisation of Israel pantomime in Gaza directed by Hamas - that is happening every day.

First, setting the scene. Since October 7 Israel has been fighting in Gaza to rescue hostages and to break Hamas's grip on power. A key part of this has been separating Hamas from aid distribution - which is why US contractors have been brought in to manage aid sites.
Hamas needs to control aid - so making the aid effort fail is in its direct interest. NGOs infiltrated by Hamas and other terrorist groups have aligned themselves with this goal. Their objective isn't feeding Palestinians - it's ensuring the aid program is seen to fail.
The Peter Johnston review into @bbcnews Hamas documentary scandal isn’t just damage control -
it is an outrageous whitewash - a scandal in its own right.
I have just published a response. 1/13
Thread 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Hidden in footnote 38! A production team member admitted they hid the Hamas affiliation because it would ‘scare' the BBC. The BBC's review dismisses this as irrelevant, relying on 'good faith'.
This assumption of innocence - despite evidence - is institutional naivety. 2/13
The father of the narrator was a senior Hamas official. Yet the BBC claims this had no influence.
The boy went home to his Hamas father every night for months while filming took place. To suggest this dynamic had no influence at all defies all common sense. 3/13
Exclusive research: What happens when a pretty-looking media accuracy watchdog is actually an attack dog for the Muslim Council of Britain, dressed up for show?
Misinformation. Misrepresentation. Misleading and manipulated statistics.
Thread - 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
The Centre for Media Monitoring claims the anti-Israel BBC actually has a pro-Israel bias! Yes, you read that right. I read all 188 pages of CfMM’s report - so you do not have to.
Their argument is dressed in manipulated data - and @cfmmuk statistics are wildly misleading.
The first big lie: Their headline claim was that Israeli deaths were covered 33x more than Palestinian ones.
But this stat is built on deceptively counting boilerplate references. A contextualising para at the end of most BBC articles. It’s junk methodology and they know it.
Exclusive: The National Union of Journalists does not like press freedom or Jews very much.....
A personal journey of abuse and discrimination as I reapplied for a press card.
🧵🧵🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Because I work behind enemy lines, I have often been targeted at protests. A press card afforded me some protection - so I had held a NUJ card for several years. As my work evolved I was on the street less and I let my last NUJ card expire. The date? October 2023.
October 7 changed everything, and following a very threatening incident I reapplied. I had done it twice before, so did not give it much thought. I made the application in spring 2024 expecting a swift turnaround. This time however, things were going to go very differently...
