Come with me for a journey through the world of hypocritical, antisemitic, 'human rights' activism:

Thread 1/9
⬇️⬇️⬇️
The world can sit by as #Afghanistan is lost to the #Taliban and millions of women and young girls have their future stolen from them - and the streets of Europe are empty of protests and demonstrations. 2/9
And our streets stay silent as nations like #Syria and #Turkey massacre #Kurds 3/9
They are even quiet as #China puts the #Uighurs into concentration camps. 4/9
And there is no noise at all as Islamists freely massacre the #Biafra in #Nigeria 5/9
Nobody comes out to protest - even as #christian girls are abducted in #Pakistan - stolen from their families and forcibly converted to #Islam - then married against their will. 6/9
And #Turkey can occupy #Cyprus and #Morocco can do the same to Western Sahara and our streets still remain quiet... 7/9
But when #Israel defends itself against radical Islamic terror groups like #Hamas -

Suddenly our streets are full of hate and outrage. 8/9
Israel is always treated differently - put under a microscope - obsessed about - demonised - and held to a different standard.

It looks like #antisemitism
It acts like antisemitism
Because *IT IS* antisemitism.

End.

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.

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 Image

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. Image
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. Image

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.

A thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Fact one:

Yesterday, the New York Times published a guest essay by Mohsen where he says he was 11 when his best friend was killed. Image
Fact two:

Mohsen had always said he was 10 when his best friend was shot:

Today: A Vermont interfaith group will stage a protest in the Vermont House Chamber and hold events in the state capitol - in defense of a terrorist supporter. Not a peace activist - a terrorist supporter! And he has fooled them all.

Meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Here is Mohsen in a genocidal mood. Posting celebration when Jews were hurt - and then hoping that EVERY JEW on the planet would die. Or liking posts about terrorist violence and burning Jews (which is exactly what we saw on Oct 7). This is Mohsen the @columbia 'hero' unmasked. Image
But Mohsen is mostly about lies. There is a fictional tale Mohsen has told for years. That he saw his best friend killed when he was 10. This cannot be true. No child died in his camp at that time. We have the receipts. This @60minutes @CBSNews clip shows him spreading lies.

We need to discuss the failure of key media outlets & politicians to show the truth behind Palestinian professional student Mohsen Mahdawi.

They made him look like a saint. Sold him to the world unquestioned. It is so dangerous! Why are they not doing their jobs?

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
What we know about Mohsen Mahdawi because we bothered to look:

1. Made up tragic stories about his past
2. Glorified terrorism
3. Shared Jihadist genocidal antisemitic chants
4. Spent years radicalising students

So let us look at how the media and politicians have failed us.
We can start with @60Minutes from @CBSNews
They let Mohsen describe witnessing the murder of his best friend when he was ten years old - when a simple fact check would have exposed it as a lie.

How could 60 Minutes sell him as a hero if they did not even do the basic checks?
