🧵 It's been a year since the terrible #Colleyville Synagogue hostage crisis.
#OTD (Jan 15, 2022), a gunman entered the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in #Colleyville, Texas, during a Sabbath service.
The gunman’s rants were recorded over the video stream. He warned that he would kill people unless authorities released his “sister” (Aafia Siddiqui).
#Colleyville
Aafia Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence after being convicted of attempting to kill American military personnel in Afghanistan.
She had made racist comments against Jews and Zionists while on trial in 2010. #Colleyville
The mainstream coverage of this event minimized the #antisemitic nature of the crime. @BBC @guardian @AP @FBI #Colleyville
#Antisemitic incidents account for the vast majority of religiously motivated hate crimes in the US. #Colleyville
The media are responsible for reporting the full essence behind attacks against American Jews. #Colleyville

Hamas built an underground city. We built the map.🧵 Image
Our new tool geo-locates 37 miles of Hamas’ tunnel network using open-source data—marking the first interactive map exposing the terror grid beneath Gaza.
Hamas spent 15 years and $1 billion creating this underground empire—built under hospitals, homes, schools, mosques, and graveyards.
Israel gets blamed for destruction.
But Hamas built terror into Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.

How does a publicly funded outlet like @abcnews get away with broadcasting this Easter-week pile of propaganda?

Let’s break it down — because reporter @MattDoran91 clearly needs a crash course in journalism, not just social media scrolling.

ABC reports that Christians were “corralled” and “beaten” by Israeli police outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — all apparently based on one viral video Doran spotted on social media. Image
3/
Doran claims Palestinian Christians were “pushed, shoved, and threatened.” Based on what?

What didn’t make it in? A police statement. Or the viral posts debunking earlier footage. Or the weeks of planning to safely host thousands at the Holy Fire ceremony.

As Jews celebrate Passover at the Western Wall, @Independent's version of an @AP story is littered with historical & geographical inaccuracies.

Elevating the status of the Wall omits the Jewish connection to its actual holiest site - the Temple Mount.

Let's take a look. 🧵 Image
Judaism's holiest site is the Temple Mt. The Western Wall is the holiest site where Jews are currently allowed to pray.

King Solomon's Temple stood, not on the area of the Western Wall, but on the Temple Mt. itself.

And "Cohen's blessing?" Time to stop using Google Translate!🤣 Image
The paved area of the Western Wall Plaza is not a remnant of the Second Temple. It is simply the area adjacent to the Western Wall, which, itself, is the remnant of a retaining wall of the Temple Mount. Image

Hamas uses hospitals as shields—and the media lets them.

Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza was the latest example. Hamas turned it into a command center. Israel struck it. And the headlines? They focused on “lack of evidence.”

Let’s break it down.🧵 Image
Instead of asking why Hamas was exploiting a hospital for terror operations, outlets like NPR, NYT, and CNN focused on the IDF not “offering proof” fast enough.

The media’s instinct to doubt Israel—rather than question Hamas—tells you everything. Image
This isn’t the first time.

Back in October 2023, Hamas blamed Israel for bombing Al-Ahli and claimed hundreds of deaths.

But U.S. intel showed it was a misfired rocket by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. And the media still ran with Hamas’ version. Image
