🧵 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
Two top execs – Tim Davie & Deborah Turness – forced to quit after a bombshell dossier exposed bias and even doctored footage of Trump.
You’d think that would spark real change, right?
WRONG. 🧵🎥
2/ Instead of accountability, BBC’s highest-paid “journalists” – and even some of its famous former ones – are playing the victims.
From Jeremy Bowen to Emily Maitlis, the reactions say it all. 👇
3/ First up: @jeremybowen.
Rather than own up to the damage he’s done to the BBC’s credibility, he previously said he “doesn’t regret one thing” about his false reporting of the Al-Ahli Hospital blast in 2023.
That lie spread across the world. No regrets. No shame. 🎥
1/ Who are the hypocrites who signed onto a boycott of @nytimes, demanding the paper retract its seminal piece on Hamas' Oct. 7 sexual assaults & rapes, “Screams Without Words?”
Some of them call themselves women's rights activists. Me too? Unless you're a Jew... 🧵

♀️ dream hampton (yes, she stylizes her name without capitals): A self-described feminist, she was the executive producer for the film “Surviving R. Kelly,” which brought to light the sexual assault allegations against the singer & ultimately led to his conviction.

1/ WHITEWASH: Responding to our complaint, @MetroUK has stealthily removed the parts of its story that clearly incriminated a Palestinian chess club in Lebanon as terror supporters, as well as @christian_aid's financial support.
2/ ▪️REMOVED: The photo of terrorist leaders Sinwar and Nasrallah on the chess club wall.
▪️ERASED: This paragraph, where the chess club director proudly acknowledges the terrorist portraits (one of which Metro's correspondent mistakenly identifies as Ismail Haniyeh).
3/ ▪️AMENDED: A reference to being "martyred" (a favorite term for extremists) now reads as "killed."
▪️SOFTENED: The false implication that the IDF was directly involved in the Sabra & Shatila massacres now says that the Lebanese militia responsible was an Israeli ally.
1/ If you want to know who the 2,000 Palestinians freed by Israel *actually* were – don’t go looking in this @nytimes piece. It’ll have you thinking Israel just rounded up random civilians.
We brought receipts. Footage. Photos. Facts.
Here’s what the NYT left out. 🧵
2/ The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.
