FIGHT DISINFORMATION: Comprehensive ongoing list of the most prevalent viral imagery of Syria falsely attributed to the Israel-Gaza war.

This image is of child victims of the Assad regime's gas attack against Eastern Ghouta a decade ago, not Israeli or Gazan victims of war. Image
This is a video of children in the Assad-besieged Yarmouk, Syria from a Syrian documentary called "Little Palestine" from nearly a decade ago.

Though these children are mostly of Palestinian descent, this is Syria, not Gaza.
This viral image is from the ruins of the Omari Mosque in Daraa, Syria from a decade ago. The mosque was attacked by Assad regime forces.

This is not a mosque in Gaza. Image
This video (very distressing) is of a Syria Civil Defenseman saving a baby in the aftermath of this year's earthquake in northern Syria.

This is in Aleppo Governorate, not the result of missile strikes in Gaza.
This is a video of a Syrian child whose relatives died in the Assad regime's siege of Aleppo a decade ago.

This is not a video from Gaza and is nearly 10 years old.
This is a video from early this week of the Assad regime indiscriminately using Russian-provided heavy artillery on the town of Ariha in northern Syria.

This is not imagery from Gaza nor Israel.

This is a video from 2016 of Assad regime soldiers in Aleppo being targeted by Syrian resistance fighters.

This is not a recent video of Israeli soldiers being attacked by Hamas, and vice versa.

Tonight, the Senate votes on Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to become Director of National Intelligence.

Here's a quick thread recap of who exactly Tulsi is. Image
In November, after Tulsi's nomination was publicized, Russian state media immediately began loudly lobbying in her favor. Image
Several former aides spoke out with concerns about Tulsi regularly reading and sharing articles from RT (Russia Today), even after being advised it was unreliable.

ABC obtained a memo from Gabbard to her staffers which lamented the United States' 'hostility toward Putin."" Image

JUST-RELEASED: In further written questioning, Sen. Warner asks Tulsi if she was aware that the foundation that paid $20000 for her trip to Italy is chaired by Pierre Louvrier, a Russian oligarch-connected businessman.

Tulsi says she doesn't recall.

Warner follows up by saying Louvrier's assets in Russia are literally on his Wikipedia page.

Tulsi says she doesn't recall.Image
Image
Sen. Heinrich confronts Tulsi for lying to him in the public hearing that she was unaware that the pro-Assad Grand Mufti in Syria she met in 2017 had threatened to unleash suicide bombers on the US.

Tulsi says she doesn't recall. Image
Image
Sen. Gillibrand confronts Tulsi over her comments calling Japan's efforts to enhance its defense infrastructure "escalatory" (Japan is a key American military and intelligence partner).

Tulsi refuses to answer. Image

LANKFORD: Was Edward Snowden a traitor?

Gabbard doesn’t answer the question.

LANKFORD: Was he a traitor the time that he took America’s secrets, released them in public, and then ran to China and became a Russian citizen?

Gabbard doesn’t answer the question, again. Image
BENNET: Was Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?

Gabbard refuses to answer the question for a third time.

Bennet asks again.

Gabbard refuses to answer the question for a fourth time. Image
BENNET (Shouting): Is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America?! That is not a hard question to answer when the stakes are this high!

Gabbard refuses to answer the question for a fifth time. Image

JUST NOW: Shortly after Tulsi's 2017 Assad tryst, the US intercepted a call between two Hezbollah members discussing her visit to Syria.

The Hezbollah members say Tulsi met "the big guy," which some US intel officials assume is a senior Hezbollah official.

THERE'S MORE — Image
Image
Remember when Tulsi went on a public rampage over temporarily being placed on the TSA Quiet Skies list?

It was because she went on a trip to the Vatican in 2024 organized by a businessman on a watch list maintained by the FBI Terrorist Screening Center. Image
Image
The businessman who organized Tulsi's meeting in the Vatican is an investor in... you guessed it... Russia!

He was once pictured with Igor Girkin, a former Russian intelligence officer who helped Moscow annex Crimea. Image

Incredibly bizarre: Tulsi told Sen. Capito that her infamous 2017 trip to visit Assad in Damascus was actually scheduled for Lebanon, but she ended up in Syria by accident.

Sen. Kelly calls BS here and then politely eviscerates Tulsi for obviously lying.
To be clear, the idea that Tulsi's Syria Nazi Party-sponsored trip was supposed to go to Lebanon and not Syria is the most ridiculous and transparent lie she's spewed yet.

From my recent piece on her connections to the Assad regime: Image
Tulsi privately making this claim to senators is bold. Her bizarre relationship with Assad and his supporters is clear and well-documented.

If "I was supposed to go to Lebanon" is the best excuse she can conjure up, it spells trouble for her.
