🧵 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

 Meet Erin Cunningham, the incoming Jerusalem news director at @AP.

Her professional record - from her tenure at The Washington Post to her public statements and social media activity - raises serious questions about the impartiality expected on one of journalism’s most sensitive beats. 🧵Image
2/
 As @washingtonpost's Middle East news editor, Cunningham oversaw coverage marked by:

▪️ Loaded anti-Israel framing
▪️ Euphemistic language that softened terrorism
▪️ False moral equivalence
▪️ Persistent skepticism of Israeli claims while amplifying Hamas-linked narratives

This wasn’t incidental. It reflected a newsroom culture problem.

 Cunningham’s ties to the region predate journalism.

Before entering media, she worked for an NGO in the West Bank - an advocacy background that raises legitimate questions about the perspective she brings to reporting.

And in a 2014 podcast appearance, she made her emotional attachment to Gaza unmistakably clear 👇

 Meet Ahmad Hariri. According to The New York Times, he was "a paramedic and photojournalist who was killed in Deir Qanoun an-Nahr on Friday" in an Israeli airstrike.

Don't let the press vest fool you. Was Ahmad Hariri targeted for his medical or media work? Five minutes looking at his Facebook told us everything the NYTimes didn't. 🧵Image

2/
 Here's the terrorist org and Hezbollah ally Amal mourning Hariri's "martyrdom."

Check out the Amal flags amongst the ambulances. Hariri was a member of a terrorist organization.
3/
 So when you hear from @nytimes about Ahmad's funeral and about how he was "everything that is beautiful in this life," think again.

Israel isn't targeting journalists or paramedics for doing their jobs. Period.

But it is targeting terrorists. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/world/middleeast/israel-strikes-lebanon-medics.html

 The @nytimes’ new defense of Nicholas Kristof’s column on alleged sexual abuse of Palestinians – including the “rape dogs” claim – even drags in Oct 7 and Islamophobia to protect it.

Here’s what they still aren’t telling you 🧵
2/
 Opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury says they “stand by” the piece, boasting of “rigorous vetting” and claiming editors “found no errors.” But if the original reporting were as solid as they say, the NYT wouldn’t be scrambling to issue multiple follow‑ups, stretching evidence and hiding key facts to avoid taking any accountability.Image
3/
 Start with sourcing. One of Kristof’s main named witnesses, Sami al‑Sai, has a documented history of working for Hamas, as evidenced by his own social media and in Palestinian Authority records, and he previously accused Palestinian authorities of torture and sexual abuse – allegations the PA denied. None of that is disclosed. Readers were entitled to know that a central witness is a Hamas operative with a track record of contested torture claims.

Canada is facing a serious Jew-hate crisis.

In 2025, there were 6,800 documented antisemitic incidents, nearly 20 attacks on Jews every single day. Despite some of the strictest gun laws in the world, Jewish schools, synagogues, and businesses are repeatedly shot at while perpetrators face little to no consequences.

Israel raised Canada to Threat Level 2 for Jews, and stated that the Canadian government has failed to protect its Jewish community. When Jews are no longer safe in their home and communities, the entire country is at fault.

This is a national crisis that can no longer be ignored by Canadians.

After the @nytimes “dog rape” story, we examined “human stories” Nick Kristof has published on Gaza.

What we found is alarming.

Sources presented as credible and apolitical supporting terrorism, don’t match descriptions – or may not exist.

Did Kristof verify any of this? Image
Image
2/
 Take Mohamed Abu Jafar.

In one column, Kristof holds him up as the kind of Palestinian who preserves a shared humanity, citing him as an example of those “who press for reconciliation and peace,” and in another calling him a “wise” Palestinian from Jenin whose 16‑year‑old brother was shot dead by Israeli forces – and even has him saying “the only practical option… is working for peace.”

A tragic story – and a quote Kristof reuses as his moral anchor. But Abu Jafar’s own Facebook tells a very different story: glorifying “martyrs,” posts about armed terrorists and “resistance,” praising attacks and celebrating jihad and martyrdom.

This is the man readers are told embodies wisdom and is “working for peace.”Image
Image
Image

3/
 Kristof never tells readers one crucial fact: Abu Jafar’s brother was not killed in the current war.

In another NYT piece, the brother’s death date is given as 2002. Abu Jafar also appears to post his grave on Facebook, identifying him as a “martyr” of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.

But none of that context appears in Kristof’s columns. Instead, readers are left with the impression of a fresh tragedy – while a man who openly glorifies “martyrdom” is presented as a voice of “shared humanity” and “peace.”Image

There is nothing normal about the Palestinian refugee problem. Here are some quick facts:

Most claim there were 750,000 Palestinian refugees after the war. But in 1948, the @UN recorded only 472,000 Arab refugees.

Today, the number stands at 5.9 million people. Why? Because @UNRWA gives Palestinians permanent, hereditary refugee status that never ends, even if they become citizens elsewhere. That’s unique to them.

The UNHCR, which deals with every other refugee group in the world, seeks to resettle and find permanent solutions. UNRWA, which was created solely to handle the Palestinian refugee problem, refuses to remove that status. Again, unique to them.

The result? A conflict kept alive for 78 years.
