🧵 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

📰 “Israel attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in five years,” @guardian claims.

But a closer look shows the headline and the article tell only part of the story — and not the most important part. 🧵 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/11/israel-attacks-palestine-water
2/
The Guardian bases its report on a @PacificInstitut study about global “assaults on water.”

But instead of presenting the global findings, it turns the study into a narrative almost exclusively about Israel.
3/
How misleading is that focus?

Israel accounts for 12% of the alleged global water-related incidents in the study.

Russia accounts for 16% — yet gets two paragraphs.
Israel gets the headline and nine.

1/ 🚨 BBC in Crisis.

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. 🎥

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... 🧵 Image

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.

But we've got the receipts. 🧵
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). Image
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. Image

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. 🧵 Image
2/
The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.

Al-Awda Hospital? Run by the PFLP.
Founded and staffed by terror operatives.

The @nytimes claims Israel detained women & kids “for no reason.”

Reality: Hamas uses them as lookouts, couriers & informants.

Under Article 78 of the Geneva Convention, Israel may detain for imperative security reasons – with Red Cross access.
