🧵 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

BREAKING🚨
Palestinian journalist Shatha Hammad has been stripped of her journalism award by the Thomson Reuters Foundation after we exposed her vile Facebook posts about Hitler, including those where she expressed her support for the Holocaust.
She will no longer appear alongside @amanpour at the Reuters conference in London this month or receive $5,000 prize money

The Thomson Reuters Foundation @TRF and the Kurt Schork Memorial Fund must be commended on their swift and decisive response. In a joint statement they said they said they were forced to take this step to protect the integrity of the awards.

Is it really so hard to say "Palestinian shooting attack," or a least "suspected Palestinian shooting attack" @CNN?

Time after time, headlines excise the Palestinians' role in terror attacks. Image
It's not as if there's any real doubt that this was a terror attack. As the article itself states, nine paragraphs down. Image
And then there's this deplorable section, in which the "possible eviction of Palestinian eviction of Palestinian families from their homes triggered weeks of unrest."

No, it did not. What happened was unprecedented and not at all expected. Image

Article in today's @WashingtonPost largely overlooks the reason why the IDF has embarked on this initiative: Repeated stabbings, shootings and other attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians, often in Hebron.
See this incident, for example. Hebron, 2016. A Palestinian suspect stands next to soldiers at a checkpoint. He is asked to show his ID, but instead produces a knife and attempts to stab the soldiers.
This is far from the only incident in which soldiers' lives were put at risk during a routine ID check at a checkpoint in Hebron.

See this incident from 2015.

Not again. Another antisemite at the @BBC.

Nasima Begum is an arts council-supported charity advocate and trustee who has also worked occasionally as a presenter for @BBCRadioManc.

She is also a rabid and vocal antisemite, with a LONG history of hate-filled social media posts. Image
Back in May, acting on a lead by @GnasherJew, @HonestReporting's @emanumiller shared how then-BBC journalist Tala Halawa had a history of antisemitic tweets.

Halawa was fired shortly thereafter.

Today, @GnasherJew has again revealed a number of deeply disturbing social media posts by another BBC employee, @nasimabee, dating back years.

This sparked further investigation by HonestReporting. These are our findings:

One Irish soldier was killed by Israeli military action between 1980 and 2000, @spencemads.

Yet your column in the @SunTimesIreland makes it seem as if Israel was responsible for the death of 45 Irish peace-keepers in Lebanon.

This is simply untrue.
We note that @TheTimes also published your column, and excised this part.

thetimes.co.uk/article/sally-…
In fact, of the Irish soldiers to have died in Lebanon while acting as peacekeepers, some 28 were killed in accidents.
