🧵 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

Trust @UPI's Adam Schrader to abuse the torture of released Israeli hostage Eli Sharabi by twisting the story to falsely claim Palestinian prisoners are being treated in the same way.

Enough of this false equivalence between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. 🧵 Image
There was no famine in the Gaza Strip. But that doesn't stop Shrader from referring to "famine-like conditions" faced by "Israeli hostages & Palestinians alike."

Fully fed Hamas terrorists deliberately starved Israeli hostages. There is no "alike" here. Image
Yet again, Schrader's primary Palestinian source is @EuroMedHR, a Hamas front organization with a history of peddling disinformation and propaganda.

Somehow though, it's Israel that is spreading falsehoods according to Schrader. Image

1️⃣ The media just got played—again.

Major outlets blindly echoed Hamas propaganda about the Bibas family’s murder, treating terrorist claims as fact while ignoring forensic evidence. Here’s how they failed. 🧵⬇️ Image
2️⃣ AP parroted Hamas claims that the Bibas family was "killed in an Israeli airstrike"—even after Israeli forensics confirmed the babies were murdered by Hamas terrorists. It took AP over 48 hours to acknowledge the truth.

This isn't reporting. It's propaganda laundering. Image
3️⃣ AP's follow-up was no better. Instead of calling it murder, they vaguely stated the Bibas family "died in captivity."

Shiri Bibas and her two young children didn’t simply “die.” They were brutally murdered by hand. Why won’t AP say it? Image

The Palestinian Authority wants the world to believe it has ended its “Pay-to-Slay” program. But is it actually reform—or just a rebrand? Let’s break it down. 🧵⬇️ Image
The PA has long rewarded terrorists with salaries—giving them or their families a financial incentive to carry out attacks on Israelis. The more deadly the attack, the higher the payout. Image
Some recent headlines suggested that the PA was scrapping this system altogether. But the truth? These claims were misleading, and the so-called “end” of the program is just smoke and mirrors. Image

Freed hostages are breaking their silence—revealing the brutal reality of life under Hamas captivity. The details are horrifying. 🧵 Image
Agam Berger, Karina Ariev, Naama Levy, Liri Albag, and Daniella Gilboa—were held hostage by Hamas for almost 500 days. Their testimony reveals just how inhumane their captivity was. Image
Their treatment was nothing short of inhumane. Some days, they got two meals. Other days, nothing. And sometimes? Donkey food. Image

As hostages are released from Gaza, some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists are walking out of prison.

🧵 Let's talk about it 👇 Image
Ahmed Barghouti: Serving 13 life sentences for orchestrating 8 attacks that killed 12 Israelis. Once a head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and cousin of Marwan Barghouti. His record is chilling. Image
Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin: Stabbed Ari Fuld, an American-Israeli, in the neck, killing him in 2018. Sentenced to life in prison, yet received monthly "Pay-for-Slay" stipends from the Palestinian Authority. A murderer incentivized. Image

Did @BBCNews just give a Hamas-linked "journalist" the stage to justify the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks?

Yes, they did. This appalling excuse for journalism should make the BBC ashamed. 🧵 Image
The BBC portrays Bushra al-Tawil as an innocent “journalist” arrested for merely giving a “talk in a mosque.”

What they omit: Bushra has documented ties to Hamas.

Incredibly, the BBC also allows her to justify the kidnapping of innocent civilians. Image
To its partial credit, @BBCNews mentions her father, Jamal Al-Tawil, but calls him a “Hamas politician.”

Let’s pause. The UK, where the BBC operates, doesn’t engage in this “political wing” fantasy. Why? Because Hamas is entirely a terrorist group. Period.
