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.

Exclusive: @Channel4News won awards for its early reporting covering the Gaza conflict. I went looking to see what was so 'award worthy' about their reporting, Guess what I found..

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I found a 7 minute clip from October 25 2023. The very first 'witness' tells the viewers doctors at Nasser hospital are left working on the patients with the light from mobile phones (those filming do not stop to ask how they charge the mobile phones if there is no fuel).

This story, of the Gazan surgeons performing operations using only the flashlight of their mobile phones, became one of the early viral stories of the conflict. All given to western media, by the doctor Mohammed Qandil

BBC Verify was meant to be an elite ‘fact-checking’ unit for @bbcnews - one of the largest broadcast news organizations in the world.

It turns out BBC Verify is just another obsessive BBC anti-Israel unit manned by amateur hacks.

On May 13, 2025, Palestinian propaganda began circulating stories of a mass casualty strike on the European Hospital in Gaza. Israel *swiftly* released information they had struck a Hamas centre. Israel had targeted Mohammed Sinwar - the Hamas leader - hiding by a hospital.

Although they could not verify anything at the time - the BBC Verify team went for it. They spent the first 56 seconds just rolling shocking footage of the strike on civilians. BBC Verify spent the rest of the clip drawing doubt on Israel’s version of events.

Why has nobody but Israel and the US demanded that the civilians in Gaza be allowed to leave?

And hold your reflexive answer to that question to the end.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️

Given the behaviour of western media, the NGOs, and western political leaders, it would be fair to conclude that much of the international community would rather every single Gazan civilian die in this conflict, than see Israel gain any perceived benefit from the outcome. 2/18

What we see from the international community appears unique in the history of modern conflict (and we have endless examples). When conflict arises, civilians flee when they have a choice. Mothers and fathers pick up their children and simply run towards safety. 3/18

There is nothing left of @bbcnews but an anti-Israel activist outlet willing to lie, misquote, misrepresent and distort news to demonise the Jewish state. I can no longer tell the difference between BBC News and Al Jazeera.

The latest example - thread .

We know the anti-Israel activist movement is well organised. So a bunch of anti-Israel lawyers publish letters about Gaza... calling for ceasefires, sanctions and so on. Well two days ago they published another. Nothing newsworthy about it. 2/6

And in that letter, amongst all the anti-Israel rubbish - they say that there 'is' a genocide... or at least there is a 'serious risk of one'...

It is anti-Israel propaganda and nonsense it may be.. but the quote in the letter is clear.. 3/6

Dear @nytimes, I have a serious question about your journalistic standards and blind spots. I can lay i t out in eight posts. This is one of eight.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

On Friday you published a 'guest essay' from Mohsen Mahdawi - the Palestinian professional student with a lifetime of supporting terrorism and lying about it.

In the article Mohsen talks about his dead uncle and seeing his best friend murdered when he was 11.

Yet in a piece you wrote three weeks ago that is best described as a student’s “My Personal Hero” essay - you reminded readers that Mohsen's uncle had sat with him for a life-changing discussion - and they sat together by the grave of his best friend.

Media darling Mohsen Mahdawi is lying again, this time with the help of the @nytimes.

But this time Mohsen has trapped himself inside a web he cannot escape from. Here is all the proof you need to show Mohsen's story is a lie.
