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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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-…

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?
Exclusive:
If you have fallen for the PR blitz surrounding Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian student who loves peace and Jewish people, then sit down and hold onto something.
You’ve been fooled. It is time to meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The @nytimes painted Mohsen Mahdawi as a saint. Vermont State Senator Becca White fell over herself to call Mohsen her friend. The PR campaign would have you thinking ICE arrested Mother Theresa.
Does nobody look behind the mask? It took me two days to find holes in the story.
We start with his back story. Mohsen says he was 10 when his best friend was shot in front of him in the al-Fara refugee camp. I checked the fatalities database for the time period. When he was 10 years old NO CHILDREN AT ALL were killed at his camp.
Something is wrong.
Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.
So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope.
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...
