4. We exposed how the @WashingtonPost overlooked the intimidation OF ITS OWN JOURNALISTS by the Palestinian Authority.

5. We showed how multiple news sources published articles and videos about people killed in Gaza, obscuring their connections to Hamas. Here's one example:

8. When Palestinian riots erupted in May, media reports portrayed it as a result of heavy-handed Israeli policing, and ignored a wave of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians recorded for laughs on TikTok.

9. We have shown how heavyweight news outlets such as @NYTimes, @WashingtonPost, @CNN and the @Guardian have given a platform to contributors such as Mariam Barghouti, who claimed: "Israel has been beating Hitler at his own game."

10. When Palestinian politician Saeb Erekat died, we noted how @CNN, @Reuters and @AssociatedPress all failed to include details of his support for terrorism and false 'massacre' accusations in their death notices.

Article in today's @WashingtonPost largely overlooks the reason why the IDF has embarked on this initiative: Repeated stabbings, shootings and other attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians, often in Hebron.
See this incident, for example. Hebron, 2016. A Palestinian suspect stands next to soldiers at a checkpoint. He is asked to show his ID, but instead produces a knife and attempts to stab the soldiers.
This is far from the only incident in which soldiers' lives were put at risk during a routine ID check at a checkpoint in Hebron.

See this incident from 2015.

Not again. Another antisemite at the @BBC.

Nasima Begum is an arts council-supported charity advocate and trustee who has also worked occasionally as a presenter for @BBCRadioManc.

She is also a rabid and vocal antisemite, with a LONG history of hate-filled social media posts. Image
Back in May, acting on a lead by @GnasherJew, @HonestReporting's @emanumiller shared how then-BBC journalist Tala Halawa had a history of antisemitic tweets.

Halawa was fired shortly thereafter.

Today, @GnasherJew has again revealed a number of deeply disturbing social media posts by another BBC employee, @nasimabee, dating back years.

This sparked further investigation by HonestReporting. These are our findings:

One Irish soldier was killed by Israeli military action between 1980 and 2000, @spencemads.

Yet your column in the @SunTimesIreland makes it seem as if Israel was responsible for the death of 45 Irish peace-keepers in Lebanon.

This is simply untrue.
We note that @TheTimes also published your column, and excised this part.

thetimes.co.uk/article/sally-…
In fact, of the Irish soldiers to have died in Lebanon while acting as peacekeepers, some 28 were killed in accidents.

Trust @guardian's Simon Tisdall to defy the facts and cast Iran as a victim of the West, rather and speak of Israel's "visceral... enmity" of Iran, as if Iran has not funded Hezbollah, Iran, Islamic Jihad, developed ballistic missiles capable of reaching Tel Aviv and Jerusalem... Image
Talk about sympathy for terrorist regimes. Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and is attempting to build nuclear weapons.

But Tisdall sees a "certain grim logic" in Iran insisting on bringing the region to the brink of war.

The media love a strong image. But exactly 21 years to the day after the brutal, barbaric lynching of two Israeli reserve soldiers, this one wasn't republished yesterday.

This is the important story, so key to understanding modern Israel, the media failed to retell.
21 years ago yesterday, two Israeli reserve soldiers, Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami, took a wrong turn and ended up in Ramallah. The two reservists were detained by Palestinian Authority policemen and taken to a local police station.
Rumours quickly spread that Israeli undercover agents were in the building, and an angry crowd of over 1,000 Palestinians gathered outside the station calling for the death of the Israelis.

Before long, enraged rioters overcame the police and stormed the building.

At the height of Hamas' 11-day rocket-firing campaign against Israel in May, the @NYTimes printed a guest essay by Refaat Alareer @itranslate123, a man with a history of indisputably antisemitic tweets.
Alareer has blamed *Jews* for the murder of hundreds of thousands of their own at the hands of the Nazis.
And he has openly admitted to committing acts of violence. Not exactly a voice for non-violence and reconciliation.
