🧵 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
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.

♀️ Mariame Kaba: co-founded Chicago Taskforce on Violence against Girls. Also co-chaired a committee at the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women’s Network & served on the editorial board of the journal, Violence Against Women.

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.
1/ Now that the campus mobs who called for Israel’s destruction and terrorized Jewish students have graduated and can’t find jobs, @nytimes is here to launder their image.
We brought the receipts – and the videos show exactly what they were. 🧵
2/ LEFT: @nytimes calls taking over campuses and streets a “remarkable display of strength.”
RIGHT: A Columbia student begging for “humanitarian aid” for protesters barricaded inside Hamilton Hall after breaking the law. "Tables seemed to have turned”…. as they begged for food.
3/ LEFT: NYT claims backlash against protests was so harsh it “eroded belief in civil disobedience.”
RIGHT: NYU students hurling bottles and chairs at police. Kinda violent-looking "civil disobedience", no?
1/ @Telegraph's story is based entirely on a report by the Hind Rajab Foundation that is simply described as "pro-Palestinian."
What The Telegraph won't say is that the HRF is deeply connected to extremist ideologies & terrorist orgs. 🧵
2/ HRF founder & chairman Dyab Abou Jahjah is a former Hezbollah activist & has openly praised figures connected to terrorist orgs. During the Gaza war, he actively demonstrated his support for both Hamas & Hezbollah.
3/ Here's Abou Jahjah glorifying Hezbollah leader Sheikh Nasrallah immediately after his death.
