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.

And here we go again.
@bbcnews has just promoted a boycott-Israel campaign.

It inflated a non-event into an article, and then misled readers by whitewashing the activists involved.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First, BBC News chose to run a pro-BDS article.

It then cited the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign without telling readers that SPSC’s leader was convicted of anti-Jewish racism just weeks ago.

This omission is inexcusable. Image
The article goes on to conceal the anti-Israel bias of the United Nations Human Rights Council and withholds key information about the political activism of the other NGO it relies on. Every single player involved is whitewashed.

Readers were materially misinformed. Image

BBC Verify got caught doing something shameless. They published the same Gaza “investigation” twice and pushed it as fresh “verification”.
My latest - BBC Verify does Groundhog day.
Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Put the two articles side by side and it’s unavoidable. Once in October 25, then again January 2026. Same authors. Same framing. Same story. This isn’t verification @bbcnews. It’s anti-Israel recycling. Image
It goes from simply bad to embarrassing. The opening paragraphs follow the same sequence, almost line by line. This is the BBC’s flagship “Verify” unit.
And they’re doing student activist-level journalism Image

New report - published today.

If you care about antisemitism, or are in a space fighting against it, you really need to read this.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR). If you are not paying attention, you should.

APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology.
I traced its history. I found out where & why it was created, and my new report lays out exactly how it evolved.

What you need to know is this: APR relabels reality. Antisemitism protections are dropped. Zionism becomes racism. Disagree with fictional narratives? Racist!

Exclusive: A detailed investigation exposes how false claims on @Wikipedia fabricate history - then get laundered into activist and media campaigns used to smear elected officials and demand resignations
Thread ⬇️⬇️
In Sept 2025, 250 U.S. legislators visited Israel. At the end of a harrowing day touring Oct 7 massacre sites, they went to Ofakim - a southern town brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists. There, they planted 50 trees - one for each state: a simple act of respect and remembrance. Image
U.S. legislators visited a staunch ally emerging from a difficult conflict. Within hours, activists and media outlets launched false genocide claims - and a story spread accusing them of planting trees atop a depopulated Palestinian village. Image

There is a sustained Islamist-driven global disinformation campaign portraying Israel as hostile to Christianity.

Before repeating it, it is worth examining what is really happening to Christian communities across the Middle East.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Let's begin in Syria. Christians in Syria used to make up about 10% of the population - today, half have been driven out. Ancient communities devastated by war and Islamism. Syria is now run by an Islamist with a Salafi-jihadist past - who promotes nation wide sharia law. Image
How about Iraq? In the 1950s they forced the Jews out, now it is the Christians' turn. Once home to about 1.5 million Christians, most have gone. Church bombings, ISIS genocide, intimidation, and emigration - Islamism shattered one of the world’s oldest Christian populations. Image

Exclusive: A new investigation tracking stolen IDF vehicles through Gaza on October 7, alongside newly uncovered footage, reveals that al-Shifa Hospital received far more Israeli hostages than previously acknowledged.

Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
For 2 years, global media outlets denied that al-Shifa functioned as a Hamas hub.

This thread shows:
• stolen IDF vehicles
• multiple hostage convoys
• timestamps
• deliberate misreporting
• hostage vehicles at al-Shifa Hospital
I start at the Nahal Oz base. On Oct 7 seven female surveillance soldiers were taken hostage - four were placed into a single stolen IDF jeep.

But one piece of footage captured the registration plate (703-145) - this mattered - it allows the vehicle to be tracked inside Gaza! Image
