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?
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:
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??
And she liked this one - in arabic - which goes on about 300k (!!) demonstrators in London against the 'Zionist occupation'.
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?
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.
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.
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.

Why has nobody but Israel and the US demanded that the civilians in Gaza be allowed to leave?
And hold your reflexive answer to that question to the end.

Given the behaviour of western media, the NGOs, and western political leaders, it would be fair to conclude that much of the international community would rather every single Gazan civilian die in this conflict, than see Israel gain any perceived benefit from the outcome. 2/18
What we see from the international community appears unique in the history of modern conflict (and we have endless examples). When conflict arises, civilians flee when they have a choice. Mothers and fathers pick up their children and simply run towards safety. 3/18
There is nothing left of @bbcnews but an anti-Israel activist outlet willing to lie, misquote, misrepresent and distort news to demonise the Jewish state. I can no longer tell the difference between BBC News and Al Jazeera.
The latest example - thread .
We know the anti-Israel activist movement is well organised. So a bunch of anti-Israel lawyers publish letters about Gaza... calling for ceasefires, sanctions and so on. Well two days ago they published another. Nothing newsworthy about it. 2/6
And in that letter, amongst all the anti-Israel rubbish - they say that there 'is' a genocide... or at least there is a 'serious risk of one'...
It is anti-Israel propaganda and nonsense it may be.. but the quote in the letter is clear.. 3/6
Dear @nytimes, I have a serious question about your journalistic standards and blind spots. I can lay i t out in eight posts. This is one of eight.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
On Friday you published a 'guest essay' from Mohsen Mahdawi - the Palestinian professional student with a lifetime of supporting terrorism and lying about it.
In the article Mohsen talks about his dead uncle and seeing his best friend murdered when he was 11.
Yet in a piece you wrote three weeks ago that is best described as a student’s “My Personal Hero” essay - you reminded readers that Mohsen's uncle had sat with him for a life-changing discussion - and they sat together by the grave of his best friend.
Today: A Vermont interfaith group will stage a protest in the Vermont House Chamber and hold events in the state capitol - in defense of a terrorist supporter. Not a peace activist - a terrorist supporter! And he has fooled them all.
Meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Here is Mohsen in a genocidal mood. Posting celebration when Jews were hurt - and then hoping that EVERY JEW on the planet would die. Or liking posts about terrorist violence and burning Jews (which is exactly what we saw on Oct 7). This is Mohsen the @columbia 'hero' unmasked.
But Mohsen is mostly about lies. There is a fictional tale Mohsen has told for years. That he saw his best friend killed when he was 10. This cannot be true. No child died in his camp at that time. We have the receipts. This @60minutes @CBSNews clip shows him spreading lies.
We need to discuss the failure of key media outlets & politicians to show the truth behind Palestinian professional student Mohsen Mahdawi.
They made him look like a saint. Sold him to the world unquestioned. It is so dangerous! Why are they not doing their jobs?
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
What we know about Mohsen Mahdawi because we bothered to look:
1. Made up tragic stories about his past 2. Glorified terrorism 3. Shared Jihadist genocidal antisemitic chants 4. Spent years radicalising students
So let us look at how the media and politicians have failed us.
We can start with @60Minutes from @CBSNews
They let Mohsen describe witnessing the murder of his best friend when he was ten years old - when a simple fact check would have exposed it as a lie.
How could 60 Minutes sell him as a hero if they did not even do the basic checks?
