🧵 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

🧵 1/
Jeremy Bowen’s latest “analysis” for @BBCNews is exactly what you’d expect: bias, omissions, and inflammatory framing dressed up as journalism.

Let’s break down how the BBC International Editor pushes his latest smears against Israel.
bbc.com/news/articles/…
2/
Bowen writes the ICJ “alleges [Israel] is committing genocide."
Wrong.
South Africa made the accusation. The court hasn’t ruled. There’s a difference between a legal claim and a legal judgment – and Bowen blurs that line.
Carelessness or deliberate? Image

Bowen vaguely says a ceasefire is “looking more possible.”

Here’s what he doesn’t say:
Israel already accepted a ceasefire deal – making major concessions to bring the hostages home.
Hamas said no.
But facts like that ruin the narrative, don’t they? Image

🧵Did you see the headlines?

- A church in the West Bank “set ablaze by settlers”
- Local church leaders pushed the claim
- Global diplomats echoed it
- @AP, @CBSNews, @Reuters and @AFP ran with it – no questions asked

But the truth about Taybeh tells a different story. Image

Video obtained by @TPS_News_co_il told a different story.

Jewish teens were seen running toward a small brushfire near grazing land, carrying fire extinguishers and safety gear.

They weren’t starting the fire — they were trying to put it out tps.co.il/articles/burni…
@TPS_News_co_il 3/
But that didn’t stop the media from blaming Israeli extremists.

NBC even ran a full piece claiming it was part of a broader settler plan to drive Christians from the Holy Land.

All this before any real investigation of the facts on the ground. Image

From the start of the war, Hamas has skimmed, stolen, and sold aid meant for Gazan civilians. Now that food is being delivered for free, with no cut for them, they’re trying to shut it down. Here's a breakdown of 7 times Hamas has sabotaged free aid. ➡️ Image
Hamas brought guns to an aid site and sparked deadly violence. Why? Because free aid threatens their profits and power.
Hamas used fake Telegram posts to sow chaos around aid delivery. When they can’t control the system, they sabotage it. Image

❌ She works for Houthi terrorists.
❌ She praised Hamas for slaughtering Jews on Oct 7.

But @Reuters still won't confirm the employment status of Gaza freelance journalist Doaa Rouqa.

And now there's more. 🧵
According to the Reuters digital database, Rouqa has been employed by the wire service since November 2023.

Her Instagram & Facebook accounts reveal that she was simultaneously working for the Houthis' Al-Masirah — reporting on the same stories for both Reuters & the terrorists.
On April 25-26, 2023, for example, Rouqa produced reports from Nasser hospital in Gaza for both Reuters and Al-Masirah 👇 Image

Meet UPenn professor Huda Fakhreddine. She has repeatedly defended Hamas, romanticized the Oct. 7 massacre, & accused Israel of genocide.

She's part of a network of academics spreading hate, shielding terrorism, & rewriting the narrative one student mind at a time. 🧵 Image
In Oct. 2023, Huda spoke at a pro-Hamas rally where she was quoted as saying, “Israel is the epitome of antisemitism… it desecrates the memory of the Holocaust victims. It humiliates every Jewish person.”
algemeiner.com/2023/10/18/isr…
In Feb. 2025, she praised PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani, writing: “Let him teach us what moral, historical, and linguistic responsibility sounds like.”

The PFLP is a U.S.-designated terror group. Image

The media is calling Francesca Albanese a "critic of Israel," but she's not.
She's an antisemite, a terror apologist, and a fraud.🧵
@unwatch @hillelneuer Image
@UNWatch @HillelNeuer Francesca Albanese lied about being a human rights lawyer and justified Hamas’ October 7th massacre...as it was still happening. Image
Image
@UNWatch @HillelNeuer She accepted thousands of dollars from pro-Hamas groups for trips to Australia and New Zealand...and then lied about it.
