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:

Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.

So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope. Image
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...

So I want you to meet them. Image

Dear @BBCNews

Will you please just STOP FEEDING US HAMAS PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!

Will you stop PROMOTING the families of senior Hamas terrorists as innocent victims!!

A quick thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I start with your latest junk. Written by arch Israel hater & amateur hack Jon Donnison.

And no Jon Israel did not say it 'broke the ceasefire because'. There was a timed ceasefire & it ended. Can't you even get basic facts rights?

Seems not because you just wrote this crap Image
Another BBC article (about the 1000th on Gaza) - that points out people - and yes children - die in wartime.

It puts people on our screen who are grieving parents. It is designed to create sympathy and demonise Israel.

The guy front and centre is named as Alaa Abu Hihal

The Royal Television Society has a Royal charter.
It has several US based patrons (are they happy with RTS giving an award to terrorist supporters?)

We need to understand what @RTS_media is doing when they *honour* Palestinian journalists in Gaza.

A short thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Most journos in Gaza are connected to terrorist orgs. It is not hard to prove and I can use Artists for Palestine's own image to do it.

There are 4 journos in the frame here. I didn't choose them - AfP did. Here are 3 of them.
1. Bisan Owda
2. Hind Khoudary
3. Wael al Dadhouh Image
1. Bisan Owda was a PFLP activist. Although both she and the group have been busy trying to hide the evidence.... images of her at PFLP events and in PFLP colours - are still available. Image

Just want to dispose of a few of the weak and transparent excuses being put forward to defend @bbcnews @channel4news and the documentary. Here are seven.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
1. 'It is difficult to verify news coming out of Gaza'.

If you know this then how can you justify spending £400k on a documentary knowing you will likely produce unverifiable Hamas propaganda? In other words the BBC is contradicting its own decision making.
2. 'There are no foreign journalists in Gaza - so we couldn't check the information. We did ask nicely several times if the family was Hamas.'

The information was found by a bloke living 10 miles from BBC HQ who had nothing more than a computer and motivation to find the truth. Image

We all know that @bbcnews put on a documentary that was fronted by the son of a senior Hamas official. The BBC was caught, took it down - and had its reputation shattered.

So now I want to talk about @Channel4News

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
But I start in Gaza - before October 7.

I go back to at least 2022, when Abdullah the son of the Hamas official - must have been just 10 or 11 and was already in training.

Practicing speaking propaganda points to camera about how Gazans 'would never surrender'. Image
The Palestinians are masters in propaganda. And after the October 7 atrocities Hamas urgently needed to change the narrative - so these children were deployed. 1000s of cameras were activated and everyone became a 'journalist'.

Which brings us back to Channel 4 News

As we learn more about more about the BBC documentary on Gaza.

This is an updated thread on who @bbcnews gave £400,000 to for a propaganda documentary that whitewashes Hamas
First - the star of the show Abdullah. This is his father - who works as a senior official in the Hamas government. Image
This is one of the two lead cameramen - celebrating the Hamas slaughter on October 7 Image
