1/
"Iron Dome" means "Preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets." For clarity, let's replace the proper noun in some of these tweets. E.g.

"Preventing rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian target perpetuates conflict & injustice."
2/
"Beth Miller, Jewish Voice for Peace Action’s Government Affairs Manager, told Jewish Currents, that preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets would not be included. 'No progressive should support this.'"
3/
"I'm glad funding for Israel preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets got removed from the NDAA!"
4/
"In a historic victory for Palestinians & human rights activists, US progressive democrats have stripped 1 billion of taxpayer dollars allocated specifically preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets."
5/
"I wish I could make the ones on the left disappear from this picture so that the ones on the right can land on a bunch of innocent Jewish houses as intended!"
6/
I haven't forgotten you, tweets that say, "The problem with preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets is that it makes it easier for Israel to continue opposing Hamas's goal of destroying Israel."

The @nytimes anti-Israel bias isn't organic.

It's not an authentic reflection of events.

The paper intentionally hires extremists.

Yet another example: To help cover Israel after Israelis were slaughtered on Oct. 7, the NYT turned to… a former Electronic Intifada editor. Image
2/ Electronic Intifada is a pro-Hamas, PRO-OCT 7, rape-denying outlet. Here they describe Cassel as their former editor.

And yes, Cassel also worked for Al Jazeera (which I sometimes call the Holocaust denial network, owing to their habit of denying the Holocaust). Image
3/ Seems Cassel was going back and forth last November between producing content for Al Jazeera and for the NYT.

1/ Among those hired by the @nytimes to cover Israel-related topics:
* The "How great you are, Hitler" guy
* Someone who denied Hamas murders civilians
* Someone who said she can't even look at Israelis and that her “objectivity got thrown out the window"

And now introducing…🥁
2/ Another radical anti-Israel hire by the @nytimes.

Bora Erden, an anti-Israel activist, who was hired days after the Oct. 7 massacre to cover Israel and anti-Israel activists.

Who is Erden?
3/ In May 2021, after a round of fighting prompted by Hamas's launch of indiscriminate rockets into Israel, Erden signed a letter to support the so-called "Palestinian struggle against Israeli colonial rule and its apartheid system." socialtextjournal.org/free-palestine…

1/ Wikipedia's volunteer editors, so many of whom are naked partisans, blacklisted ADL as an unreliable source.

The Wikipedia that traffics in fake quotes. Image
2/ This Wikipedia: Image
3/ The Wikipedia that overflows with citations of Al Jazeera, which traffics in Holocaust denial and incitement to anti-Jewish violence.

1/ The @nytimes regularly sanitizes anti-Israel protests.

Its coverage of Saturday's protest in D.C. conceals that demonstrators held a banner supporting Al Qassam—Hamas's armed branch behind the Oct. 7 slaughter—while chanting that Hezbollah should "kill another Zionist now."
2/ Also ignored by the NYT is a sign that said "stand with Hamas."

3/ The paper did cite—then immediately allowed someone to sanitize—a couple other slogans.

"Intifadas" were outbreaks of deadly violence against Israelis. Image

1/ This, in the @nytimes today, is false. Image
2/ This, about Cal Poly, in the @nytimes today, is also false. Image
3/ The @nytimes seems to be sugarcoating the demonstrators' demands to conceal their extremism and dress them up merely as anti-war activists.

They are anti-Israel activists to the core, and little more.

1/ Is there a difference between identifying by name someone belligerently acting out in a public space and "doxxing"?

The idea that there's a sort of right to complete anonymity for people publicly behaving like heartless asses seems, well, questionable.
2/ Anyhow, here's @npr making a hero out of a hater:

npr.org/2024/04/11/123…
3/ And here's the subject of @NPR's advocacy, the one who's so keen on her name being kept quiet yet partnered with NPR to blast her name across the world.
