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 online campaign to blame Jews for what attackers characterized as a "Jew hunt, which included miscaptioned video that spread on X, made its way to mainstream media.
(🧵)
⇝ The New York Times insisted it had video of Israelis chanting that there are no children in Gaza. Were they duped by the widely circulated miscaptioned video?
After initially stonewalling, the paper informed @CAMERAorg it had no such video, and published corrections. 🧵
⇝ The Media Line claimed it had video of the same chant. After @CAMERAorg called for substantiation, it admitted it had no such video. It quietly corrected its piece to refer to a "reported" chant.
⇝ Same claim, and same stealth correction from the Jewish Chronicle. 🧵
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/ 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."
