On this Friday, six things I am certain of.

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.

A few days ago I saw a FB post from a Rabbi in Jerusalem complaining about how he was treated in a @BBCNEWS interview. Told it was about Chanukah - he just faced a barrage of aggressive questions.

So I checked - and it was even worse than the Rabbi realised. Thread⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
There wasn't one interview - there were three. A set. Spread over several hours the BBC had interviewed 3 religious leaders - a Reverend an Imam and a Rabbi.

For me it was a perfect opportunity. It means we can compare the way they were treated. And the difference is shocking
First up the Reverend. His interview was headed with a clip about an Israeli strike on a humanitarian tent in Gaza. It set up the demonisation process. Image

It is Christmas time - and Christmas is a wonderful holiday.

But people also use it to spread lies and turn Christians against Jews, and so I want to take the opportunity to share five historical facts with followers and friends that are important to remember.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Let us start with the obvious.

Jesus was born a Jew into a Jewish family. Jesus had a Jewish upbringing and would have become a bar mitzvah.

Historical fact 1: Jesus was born Jewish
Jesus was born in Bethlehem - in Judea. The Jewish state was under Roman occupation at the time. All this is also clear from writings of the New Testamant. 'render unto Ceaser' etc.

Historical fact 2: Jesus was born in Judea, an occupied Jewish state. Image

Another day, another viral pack of lies spread by our mainstream media. This latest one comes from @SkyNews and the journo @YousraElbagir

I will try and get as much as I can in here - read the article at the end for the full story.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
On 19th December an 80-year-old grandmother was shot during an IDF raid in the Balata camp near Nablus. Yesterday Sky News ran a heartbreaking story about how she had been shot six times. Heartbreaking headline and sure to go viral Image
The Sky News journo is just another anti-Israel hack. This one even got upset because Sudan had signed the Abraham accords. It placed them on the 'wrong side of history'? Who at Sky News thinks someone with this level of bias - should be allowed anywhere near Israel? Image

Why is it that almost every time @bbcnews publishes an article about Israel it contains three features.

1. It demonises Israel
2. It contains lies
3. A journo involved supports Islamic terrorism

Well this time they really outdid themselves. Shocking even for them. Thread ⬇️⬇️
Last night @bbcnews published an article on Syria. On the face it was written by @LucyWilliamson. The report is junk - even its opening line is deceptive - and the content paints Israel as irrational warmongers.

All this is usual for the BBC - but look a little closer. Image
What is often not understood - most BBC journos can't write articles on Syria / Gaza by themselves - and almost every article has BBC Arabic (or worse) DNA. This one is no different. And you'll notice Mayar Mohanna helped Lucy W. Not for the first time either. So who is Mayar? Image

Nobody should believe a word about Israel that comes from @bbcnews

And the more you dig - the worse it all gets.

Here is a thread with three new examples (read the linked article for the full story).
⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC ran a tragic tale about a woman who moved four times to escape Israel's bombing - and eventually her family was hit.

But the article does not tell people she lived in a Hezbollah stronghold - moved to another - or that her husband was 'at the service' of Hezbollah. Image
In articles on Syria - @bbcnews openly state that Israel devastated Hezbollah - but when they publish stories about Israel - they are written by Hezbollah fans and the BBC publish endless nonsense about Hezbollah strength and ability. Image

Yesterday we saw a Palestinian 'journalist' - Hossam Shabat - report on a new weapon that makes people disappear. Oh, how we mocked.

But underneath the jokes - there is a sinister truth - and an awful indictment of our own mainstream media outlets.

thread: ⬇️⬇️
Here is the man who reported the 'evaporating bodies' - being quoted on @bbcnews - in an article from last December about how half of Gaza was starving. Who found him and quoted him? The BBC's Gazan based hero - Rushdi Abu Alouf. Image
Here he is just a couple of weeks ago - being reported by the Committee to Protect Journalists as having been injured...

The source @pressfreedom relied on ? Him. Image
