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.

Bombshell exclusive.

I have obtained internal BBC documents that prove not only did @bbcnews spread a blatant fake news story - but that prove the BBC uses Al Jazeera and Hamas channels as sources for its updates.

Unforgivable and inexcusable. 1/10
Thread ⬇️⬇️
Between January 22th and January 28th following fights between Hamas and Israeli forces - Palestinians said they buried over 200 bodies in the courtyard of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. No doubt almost all terrorists. 2/10
Image
Image
In April the Palestinians pretended to 'discover' a mass grave at Nasser hospital. It was blatant fake news. Anyone comparing images from the January 'burial' to the April 'discovery' could see it was the same spot. The same buildings are even clearly visible 3/10 Image

As our university spaces turn into intimidating pro-terrorist encampments - the BBC just published a whitewash about a 'peaceful and proud' protest camp at Newcastle University.

Another @bbcnews piece written by an amateur hack who knows nothing and does no research. 1/6 ⬇️⬇️ Image
The face of the Newcastle camp and a key driver of the recent anti-Israel activism on campus (and wider afield in Newcastle) is Hala Hanina a Palestinian PhD student. 2/6 Image
The BBC present the protest as peaceful & want you to believe it is 'kumbaya for all'.

But Palestinian activism is all about destroying Israel.

Here is Hala on Oct 8 calling Hamas & Islamic Jihad terrorists 'honourable' and denying atrocities they carried out. 3/6 Image

Exclusive:

Wael Al-Dahdouh is a face of the conflict in Gaza. He is the head of Al Jazeera's Gaza office.

Western media consistently present him as an innocent and tragic hero.

The truth is that the Al-Dahdouh clan is Islamic Jihad royalty. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
We know a family house was hit by Israel in October. And we know his own son was targeted by Israel in January.

Israel produced Islamic Jihad documentation showing he was an active member of the terrorist group.

But this is just part of the story. Image
I start by going back 30 years (don't worry I get to Oct 7).

On January 15 1993, Fakhri Attiya Al-Dahdouh carried out a terrorist attack at Tel Aviv’s bus station.

Fakhri Al-Dahdouh was 23. He was a member of the Islamic Jihad. He was Wael Al-Dahdouh’s cousin. Image

Dear @AlJazeera and western journalists who have been acting as Hamas propagandists today (like @AlexCrawfordSky from @skynews and of course @pressfreedom)

I have a question about Ismael Al-Ghoul who was arrested today.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Thing is all his accounts are new - all very suspicious so I went looking for an old one. And I found one.

I used software to conform the identity from images. And this is the journalist Ismail Alghoul. He stopped using the account in November - when he opened his new one.
Image
Image
And guess what I found on the account of this arrested 'Al Jazeera' journalist...

Things like this - on the eve of the 2021 conflict - glorifying / threatening / promising rocket fire on Israel Image

I want to tell you a story.

Last week the BBC Verify team posted a demonising report that accused Israel of abusing Palestinian medics.

The BBC Verify story relied on six separate sources. I think you should meet the people @bbcnews rely on:

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her social media accounts are full of anti-Israel venom. On X she even liked posts that celebrated Oct 7 and support Hamas.

This woman is not a random bystander. She WORKS for the BBC. Image
The second was Marie-Jose Al Azzi - another BBC employee.

Here she is openly calling on Shakira to boycott Israel Image

Exclusive: On Friday BBC Verify ( @bbcnews @bbcworld) published an article about the aid convoy deaths in Gaza.

I was already working on a piece about BBC bias over other toxic articles from last week.

There is something truly rotten at the BBC. 1/14

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
To blame Israel for the deaths the BBC Verify piece relies heavily on a Gazan journalist Mahmoud Awadeyah who tells the BBC that the Israelis fired at the civilians.

But Awadeyah works for Tasnim News which is tied to the Iranian IRGC - Iran's special armed forces. 2/14 Image
And Awadeyah is not shy about his feelings. His social media is full of pro-terrorist messaging.

Did the BBC not 'verify' anything before using this man as a source? Here he is praising the terrorist attack on the 27 Jan 2023 which left 7 Israelis dead. 3/14 Image
