Hey @SkyNews

I am an investigative journalist - who has done a bit of investigating - and I have a couple of questions for you about your reporting on the Islamist / Jihadist demonstration that took place in London on Saturday.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
You sent a journo to the demo - where she interviewed people.

Your journo spoke to demonstrators and asks explicitly about the genocidal chant "from the river to the sea" - which is then promoted by you to your viewers as a peaceful chant (which it certainly isn't).
Your journo then says this

"the crux - from the people we have been speaking to is peace in the Middle East - that is the recurrent call we are hearing - strong emotions - but peace is the sentiment here'... Your journo is pushing a false message. But it gets worse...
While your journo was telling your viewers how wonderful and peaceful it all was - she was literally standing by a placard which spoke of 'resistance' (code for slaughtering Jews). How did she miss this?.. Why not point out the discrepancy? Image
So I wondered about your journo. The person you sent to the demo was Sadiya Chowdhury.

So I looked at her feed on 'X'. And soon realised she is an Israel-hating activist... Her feed is full of anti-Israel propaganda and hate - going back years: Image
Then I checked her likes. She liked this one... which is by the antisemitic Palestine Solidarity Campaign - chest-beating about the very demo in London - you sen her to report on... She supported the demo herself. Do you get how twisted this is?? Image
And she liked this one - in arabic - which goes on about 300k (!!) demonstrators in London against the 'Zionist occupation'. Image
She even disgracefully liked this tweet - by Clare Daly - one of the toxic far-left Irish MEPs.

Clare attacks the EU for - on Oct 7 - standing in solidarity with Israel over the brutal slaughter of its civilians. Why on earth did Chowdhury like this vile , offensive tweet? Image
It is relentless - tweet after tweet and like after like - supporting tweets by the boss of Electronic Intifada - amplifying the voice of Qatari mouthpieces such as Middle East Eye - and support for accusations such as genocide and apartheid. We get it - she hates Israel.
She even likes tweets by the Muslim Association of Britain.. which is an extremist group in the UK with a history of pro-Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas ties. Image
And of course - before working for Sky - Chowdhury was working at outlets such as the Islam Channel and Arab News - where she ad been attacking Israel for decades. Image
But this isn't about Sadiya. I mean yes - she is not fit to work the story - but you (SKY) are the ones spreading this anti-Israel propaganda to the world.

You are putting people with an agenda on TV - and MISINFORMING the British public about what is happening on our streets.
So my questions.

1. Did you tell your viewers that your journalist was an anti-Israel activist herself?

2. Do you normally deploy anti-Israel activists as journos to promote anti-Israel causes?

3. Do you feel your report told the truth - or pushed an agenda?

Shameful.

And here we go again.
@bbcnews has just promoted a boycott-Israel campaign.

It inflated a non-event into an article, and then misled readers by whitewashing the activists involved.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First, BBC News chose to run a pro-BDS article.

It then cited the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign without telling readers that SPSC’s leader was convicted of anti-Jewish racism just weeks ago.

This omission is inexcusable. Image
The article goes on to conceal the anti-Israel bias of the United Nations Human Rights Council and withholds key information about the political activism of the other NGO it relies on. Every single player involved is whitewashed.

Readers were materially misinformed. Image

BBC Verify got caught doing something shameless. They published the same Gaza “investigation” twice and pushed it as fresh “verification”.
My latest - BBC Verify does Groundhog day.
Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Put the two articles side by side and it’s unavoidable. Once in October 25, then again January 2026. Same authors. Same framing. Same story. This isn’t verification @bbcnews. It’s anti-Israel recycling. Image
It goes from simply bad to embarrassing. The opening paragraphs follow the same sequence, almost line by line. This is the BBC’s flagship “Verify” unit.
And they’re doing student activist-level journalism Image

New report - published today.

If you care about antisemitism, or are in a space fighting against it, you really need to read this.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR). If you are not paying attention, you should.

APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology.
I traced its history. I found out where & why it was created, and my new report lays out exactly how it evolved.

What you need to know is this: APR relabels reality. Antisemitism protections are dropped. Zionism becomes racism. Disagree with fictional narratives? Racist!

Exclusive: A detailed investigation exposes how false claims on @Wikipedia fabricate history - then get laundered into activist and media campaigns used to smear elected officials and demand resignations
Thread ⬇️⬇️
In Sept 2025, 250 U.S. legislators visited Israel. At the end of a harrowing day touring Oct 7 massacre sites, they went to Ofakim - a southern town brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists. There, they planted 50 trees - one for each state: a simple act of respect and remembrance. Image
U.S. legislators visited a staunch ally emerging from a difficult conflict. Within hours, activists and media outlets launched false genocide claims - and a story spread accusing them of planting trees atop a depopulated Palestinian village. Image

There is a sustained Islamist-driven global disinformation campaign portraying Israel as hostile to Christianity.

Before repeating it, it is worth examining what is really happening to Christian communities across the Middle East.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Let's begin in Syria. Christians in Syria used to make up about 10% of the population - today, half have been driven out. Ancient communities devastated by war and Islamism. Syria is now run by an Islamist with a Salafi-jihadist past - who promotes nation wide sharia law. Image
How about Iraq? In the 1950s they forced the Jews out, now it is the Christians' turn. Once home to about 1.5 million Christians, most have gone. Church bombings, ISIS genocide, intimidation, and emigration - Islamism shattered one of the world’s oldest Christian populations. Image

Exclusive: A new investigation tracking stolen IDF vehicles through Gaza on October 7, alongside newly uncovered footage, reveals that al-Shifa Hospital received far more Israeli hostages than previously acknowledged.

Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
For 2 years, global media outlets denied that al-Shifa functioned as a Hamas hub.

This thread shows:
• stolen IDF vehicles
• multiple hostage convoys
• timestamps
• deliberate misreporting
• hostage vehicles at al-Shifa Hospital
I start at the Nahal Oz base. On Oct 7 seven female surveillance soldiers were taken hostage - four were placed into a single stolen IDF jeep.

But one piece of footage captured the registration plate (703-145) - this mattered - it allows the vehicle to be tracked inside Gaza! Image
