Going through 208000 accounts boosting pro-Putin messages, and there are so many gems. Here's a Chinese speaking pro-Trump account. Created in 2017 and only has 80 tweets, most of them about #UkraineRussiaWar, whataboutism and Western hypocrisy #disinformation
Here's another gem. Uses photos of Ricardo Milos, who is apparently a Brazilian adult model. Also claims to be a feminist, muslim vegetarian, speaks Chinese, posts graphic porn videos, and promotes Putin and Trump. Of course not a troll #Ukraine️ #UkraineRussiaWar
Of course Neal Caffrey is a real account. Looks totally legit...
Caroline Milton in Beijing likes pro Putin propaganda in her/his spare time, and loads of porn (I advise against clicking on his handle) #Ukraine️
This Putin super fan has +10k tweets and only 0 followers. Could be that its recovering from a recent ban, which also doesn't inspire confidence... #ukraine #UkraineWar

🧵1/ There is some confusion going on around the strike in Rafah. This is largely due to awful IDF instructions. In a video on 22nd May IDF spokesman @AvichayAdraee told people that Zones 2371, 2373, 2360 were safe. I have highlighted this below.
Image
2/ The source of the confusion lies in the fact that the image of the highlighted map in @AvichayAdraee's video DOES NOT match the text. The image initially does not include zones 2371, 2373, 2360 yet the text explicitly states they are safe. Image
3/ However the location of the strike has been reported to be both 2371 and 2372. Existing geolocation by @m_osint and Al Jazeera suggests it was in 2372, not 2371. Zone 2372 was not explicitly mentioned by the IDF. However...

1) Telegraph subtly trying to align pro-Palestinian voices with Chinese and Russian disinformation. No actual evidence is provided here of Chinese and Russian interference, simply a note that some pro-Palestinian accounts have fake followers. Image
2) (It should be noted that you can't control who follows you). From my point of view there are a LOT of fake accounts on X promoting various points of view. However, there is more evidence for Israel using fake accounts on FB, Insta and X to smear UNRWA aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/19…
Image
3) Interestingly, the network that was focusing on attacking UNRWA, is also focusing on blaming the Chinese/Russian/Iranian 'axis of evil'. While it's plausible China and Russia are trying to influence narratives, the narrative that China and Russia are the only ones operating

🧵1/ Israel are attempting to muddy the waters around the killing of an international UN worker in a clearly marked vehicle. They have released a video claiming that "terrorists" are roaming and shooting at a UNRWA compound. There's no evidence that indicates they are Image
2/ terrorists. The video shows armed men mingling with what are probably UN workers. There is no sense of coercion or animosity in those shots. Crucially, there is no caveat that these people might not be factions or Hamas police protecting aid convoys.
Image
Image
3/ The US has even asked Israel to stop targeting Hamas police officers trying to protect aid. Naturally the video provides no context, and remember the IDF are an organisation that recently murdered multiple aid workers in clearly marked vehicles. Image

🧵1/ I am somewhat dismayed (though sadly unsurprised) by this extremely disingenuous and callous reporting about Palestinian death figures. Claims that the UN have revised down its death toll are absolutely untrue but have been repeated by right wing outlets but also the CFR 🤔

Image
Image
Image
2/ These media are focusing on these two infographics by the @ochaopt . The one on the left, published 6th May, the one on the right published 8th May. As you can see, total fatalities INCREASE, as opposed to decrease. What the propaganda is seaking to do is barely sophistry
Image
Image
3/All that's happening is the OCHA has added figures for the dead that have been identified. It quite clearly says that the breakdown DOES NOT include 10000 missing or buried under rubble. Image

1🧵Lots of lessons on how unreliable information spreads. Here, Hen Mazzig makes an unsubstantiated claim about pro-Palestinian protesters 'combing' the street for Israelis in Athens. Someone asks him for a source. Mazzig provides a source that does not support his own claim. Image
2/ Another subtle aspect of this the hotel. One widely shared tweet stated that 'rioters' were trying to break into an Israeli-owned hotel. In fact, the crowd are outside the Tiare hotel. The event is filmed FROM an Israeli owned hotel (Brown Acropol). This proximity to the Image
3/ the Israeli-owned hotel is obviously designed to make the 'attack' seem targeted. In fact, the crowd are closer to a different hotel, that is also in the centre of Athens, where there had just been a pro-Palestine protest. Image

1/ 🧵I just did a quick corpus analysis of 100 New York Times articles published between 1st April - 5th May on US Campus Protests. Findings indicate that the NYT reporting of the campus protests place a large emphasis on equating protests with antisemitism. Image
2/ A notable finding was that the terms 'antisemitism' & 'antisemitic' appeared around 296 times, while terms such as Islamophobia/c only appeared 9 times. This is a large discrepancy. Image
3/ Jewish/Jews/Judaism are mentioned 450 times, Muslims/Islam mentioned 72, and Christian/Christianity 7. The second most common collocate (words that appear together often) of the word 'safety' and 'unsafe' is 'Jewish', (the first is students). Other minorities do not appear
