Exclusive: We need to talk about international news media.

Something has gone seriously wrong in the way news is reported from Gaza. Many mainstream outlets have become lying puppets for an Islamist terror group.

I don't want to tell you - I want to show you.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Over the past few weeks we have seen an explosion of stories coming out of Shifa hospital. From wild dogs eating corpses - to fetuses taken out of dying mothers.

These are not from alt-right newspapers. This wave of fake news - all appear in mainstream media. 2/19 Image
Take this report from @CNN
CNN are not at al-Shifa. So they publish a story based on the account given to them by a doctor there. That is all they have to go on.

So who is Ezz Lulu that CNN rely on so much they report his word as truth? 3/19 Image
Well on 7th Oct as Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1200+ Israelis Ezz Lulu (sorry CNN - a student not a doctor) posted that it was the 'best birthday ever'.

A day later he posted a picture of a hand glider. Do @CNN usually rely on these type of people as reliable sources? 4/19
Image
Image
Dr Khaled Abu Samra is also at Shifa. He was the source of stories such as Israel shooting at those waving white flags - or accusing Israel of stealing - not bringing aid. 5/19 Image
Some doctor! On 7 October Abu Samra posted that 'history is being made' and he liked posts honouring and praising the resistance. On 27 Jan 2023 he & his partner wrote celebratory posts about a terrorist attack outside a synagogue in Jerusalem that killed 7 Israelis. 6/ 19

How about Mohammed Abu Salmiya Head of Shifa Hospital. His stories have been reported everywhere from @bbcnews and @guardian to @cnn and @nytimes
7/19
Image
Image
His family have history. In 2003 his brother was killed in a targeted strike by Israel. His brother was Khalid Abu Salima - a leader in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades - the Hamas military arm. 8/19

The Director's timeline is full of support for terrorism. He celebrated attacks in Jerusalem on 23 Nov 22 and 27 Jan 23. He praised terrorists like Udai Tamimi, Ibrahim al-Nabulsi and Khaled Mansour. Why is any western media going near this man? 9/19
Image
Image
How about Munir al-Borsh: Director General of the Palestinian Health Ministry. This man is also quoted everywhere. He was also the source of outrageous stories such as the one about the dogs eating bodies of civilians. 10/19 Image
This man is literally part of the Hamas government. You only have to open his timeline on social media to see posts praising terrorists - such as these two - Fatma Omar An-Najar. and 'Ibrahim Muhammad Al-Shandaghli' - hero of the armed wing of Hamas . Why trust him? 11/19 Image
Dr Mohammed Ghneim has also been all over the news. He is the source of the story about fetuses pulled from dying mothers. He was also sent to the Baptist hospital - where he reported on a massacre that never happened. 12/19 Image
Dr Mohammed Ghneim has a thing for the Hamas engineers, posting in honour of the Hamas bombmakers who slaughtered hundreds. He was also found on his own brother's timeline - praising the 27th Jan Synagogue terrorist attack. 13/19

Image
Image
Image
A few more. Mohamed AlShareif is a medical analyst specialist at al-Shifa - he called 7 October the most beautiful day in a generation.

Mohammed Ayesh is an Orthopaedics & Traumatology surgeon at Al Shifa: He also posted support for 7 October and the 27 Jan. 14/19

I have others - you can see them in the article below.

These are the doctors who our media are relying on. These are the story makers spreading hateful libels.

So why is our mainstream media taking the words of these terrorist supporters and promoting them as truth? 15/19
One example. A tweet says all the ICU patients are dead.

Those spreading it: @Stone_SkyNews (Sky News). @JaneFerguson5 (PBS) @malonebarry (Reuters).

The source? Head of Shifa. With a terrorist brother and endless support for terrorism. This is not journalism!! 16/19 Image
The visible truth is that the media has chosen to promote the conspiracy stories and fake news fed to them by Hamas HQ. And it is a fair assessment to suggest that since Oct 7, much of mainstream media in the west has turned into a part of the Hamas propaganda machine. 17/19
Media reporting such as this is culpable for the rise in antisemitism. It fuels the fire that has left Jewish families fearful of going out and scared of publicly identifying as Jewish. You can see the full story and more examples here 18/19 david-collier.com/doctors-shifa-…

The Peter Johnston review into @bbcnews Hamas documentary scandal isn’t just damage control -
it is an outrageous whitewash - a scandal in its own right.

I have just published a response. 1/13
Thread 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Hidden in footnote 38! A production team member admitted they hid the Hamas affiliation because it would ‘scare' the BBC. The BBC's review dismisses this as irrelevant, relying on 'good faith'.

This assumption of innocence - despite evidence - is institutional naivety. 2/13
The father of the narrator was a senior Hamas official. Yet the BBC claims this had no influence.

The boy went home to his Hamas father every night for months while filming took place. To suggest this dynamic had no influence at all defies all common sense. 3/13

Exclusive research: What happens when a pretty-looking media accuracy watchdog is actually an attack dog for the Muslim Council of Britain, dressed up for show?

Misinformation. Misrepresentation. Misleading and manipulated statistics.

Thread - 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
The Centre for Media Monitoring claims the anti-Israel BBC actually has a pro-Israel bias! Yes, you read that right. I read all 188 pages of CfMM’s report - so you do not have to.

Their argument is dressed in manipulated data - and @cfmmuk statistics are wildly misleading.
The first big lie: Their headline claim was that Israeli deaths were covered 33x more than Palestinian ones.

But this stat is built on deceptively counting boilerplate references. A contextualising para at the end of most BBC articles. It’s junk methodology and they know it. Image

Exclusive: The National Union of Journalists does not like press freedom or Jews very much.....

A personal journey of abuse and discrimination as I reapplied for a press card.

🧵🧵🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Because I work behind enemy lines, I have often been targeted at protests. A press card afforded me some protection - so I had held a NUJ card for several years. As my work evolved I was on the street less and I let my last NUJ card expire. The date? October 2023. Image
October 7 changed everything, and following a very threatening incident I reapplied. I had done it twice before, so did not give it much thought. I made the application in spring 2024 expecting a swift turnaround. This time however, things were going to go very differently...

Exclusive: @Channel4News won awards for its early reporting covering the Gaza conflict. I went looking to see what was so 'award worthy' about their reporting, Guess what I found..

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I found a 7 minute clip from October 25 2023. The very first 'witness' tells the viewers doctors at Nasser hospital are left working on the patients with the light from mobile phones (those filming do not stop to ask how they charge the mobile phones if there is no fuel). Image
This story, of the Gazan surgeons performing operations using only the flashlight of their mobile phones, became one of the early viral stories of the conflict. All given to western media, by the doctor Mohammed Qandil Image

BBC Verify was meant to be an elite ‘fact-checking’ unit for @bbcnews - one of the largest broadcast news organizations in the world.

It turns out BBC Verify is just another obsessive BBC anti-Israel unit manned by amateur hacks.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
On May 13, 2025, Palestinian propaganda began circulating stories of a mass casualty strike on the European Hospital in Gaza. Israel *swiftly* released information they had struck a Hamas centre. Israel had targeted Mohammed Sinwar - the Hamas leader - hiding by a hospital.
Although they could not verify anything at the time - the BBC Verify team went for it. They spent the first 56 seconds just rolling shocking footage of the strike on civilians. BBC Verify spent the rest of the clip drawing doubt on Israel’s version of events.

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
