🧵 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
🚨 Israel identified Gazan photojournalist Hassan Eslaiah as a Hamas terrorist.
But @AP is still selling his photos in what legal experts say may be considered material/financial support of a designated foreign terrorist org in violation of US law that prohibits such conduct. 🧵
@AP Eslaiah’s specific photos of the Oct. 7 atrocities inside Israel have been removed from @AP's platform.
Whether he still gets royalties when his remaining photos are purchased is unclear, but the credit he gets on a respected news outlet is certainly a reputation booster.
@AP Either way, @AP can still make money off of Eslaiah's propaganda for Hamas and is the only Western agency that still platforms his tainted work.
The @nytimes recently ran a glowing profile of Twitch streamer Hasan Piker.
What didn’t make the cut?
His antisemitism, support for terror groups, and unapologetic propaganda. 🧵
@nytimes The Times called him “a progressive mind in a body made for the manosphere.”
What they left out: Piker has a long history of antisemitic rhetoric.
@nytimes The Times framed Piker’s hate as mere “criticism of Israel” and “norm-challenging.”
He called Orthodox Jews “inbred.”
That’s not dissent—it’s bigotry.
Louis Theroux’s new BBC ‘Settlers’ documentary claims impartiality. What it delivers is a slick propaganda film: Israel as aggressor, settlers as sociopaths, Palestinians as voiceless victims. Let’s talk about what Theroux really chose to show—and what he left out. 🧵
2/ October 7 is barely mentioned. When it is, it’s framed as a pretext for settlement expansion. A massacre becomes a motive. Civilians butchered in their homes are brushed aside to serve Theroux’s storyline.
3/ He interviews Israeli “critics”—activists who say Israel never wanted peace. Not one mention of the many peace offers Palestinian leaders rejected. It’s not an exploration. It’s a rigged debate.
🧵 1/ The @nytimes just profiled Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, nephew of Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur. Apparently antisemitism runs in the family—not that you'd know it from this glowing piece labeling him a "progressive." Yes, the guy who called Hamas massacres "resistance."
2/ The NYT goes to great lengths to sanitize Piker’s bigotry, claiming he "criticized the Israeli government" and "challenged norms." Apparently, calling Orthodox Jews "inbred" and dehumanizing a Jew who disagreed with him as a "bloodthirsty pig dog" are just norm-challenging.
3/ NYT calls Piker’s antisemitism mere "diatribes against the Zionist movement"—an absurdly tame way to describe a man who excused Hamas's rape and murder spree on Oct 7, saying "Palestinian resistance is not perfect." Apparently mass rape is a minor misstep to NYT’s new darling.
Hamas built an underground city. We built the map.🧵
Our new tool geo-locates 37 miles of Hamas’ tunnel network using open-source data—marking the first interactive map exposing the terror grid beneath Gaza.
Hamas spent 15 years and $1 billion creating this underground empire—built under hospitals, homes, schools, mosques, and graveyards.
Israel gets blamed for destruction.
But Hamas built terror into Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.
