I want to tell you a story.

Last week the BBC Verify team posted a demonising report that accused Israel of abusing Palestinian medics.

The BBC Verify story relied on six separate sources. I think you should meet the people @bbcnews rely on:

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her social media accounts are full of anti-Israel venom. On X she even liked posts that celebrated Oct 7 and support Hamas.

This woman is not a random bystander. She WORKS for the BBC. Image
The second was Marie-Jose Al Azzi - another BBC employee.

Here she is openly calling on Shakira to boycott Israel Image
The third was a Palestinian, Muath Al Khatib. His timeline is also no different from an anti-Israel activist - and in 2016 he even got triggered by the number of Jewish people he saw in Thailand Image
Those are the Arabic speaking journalists that the BBC Verify team TRUSTED and RELIED ON. But then the BBC also rely on three Gazan eye witnesses. - it is important you meet them as well.

One was Dr Atef Hout - here he is celebrating a rocket strike on Israeli civilians Image
Another was Abu Sabha. Here he is publicly glorifying and celebrating the terrorist Uday Al Tamimi Image
The last was Hatem Raba. He was clever enough to create a new social media profile in December so people would think he was a doctor rather than a professional political activist for the PLO.

He is a Fatah activist and another one who glorifies terrorism Image
That is it. Three Arabic journalists who support terrorism / hate Jews and three Gazans who support terrorists / hate Jews.

These are the people the BBC rely on to create the BBC Verify reports.

This is how the lies go mainstream and antisemitism spreads.

We fund this!!
BBC Verify are amateur anti-Israel hacks who couldn't verify a tomato.

A bunch of supremacist naive fools with greatly exaggerated opinions of their own ability and intelligence.

It is time the BBC STOPPED with its toxic anti-Israel agenda and accepted it has a problem.
Must add. some of this work appeared in the Mail on Sunday today - but it was put together with the help of the @CAMERAorgUK team.

BBC really cannot help itself.
@bbcnews really is a puppet for Hamas - a radical Islamic terror group.

You want proof? Just look at the BBC's headline right now:

Thread 🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC is running a headline on its front page. It claims '21 children have died from malnutrition in the last 72 hours': Image
Inside the 'live' page, it is clear that the news comes from a single source - Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya - the director of Shifa Hospital. He is the one who told the BBC that 900,000 children in Gaza are suffering from hunger, 70,000 of them in a state of malnutrition. Image

Seen the latest 'massacre at aid site' headlines? They are the result of a vicious and deliberate demonisation of Israel pantomime in Gaza directed by Hamas - that is happening every day.

Thread:
⬇️⬇️⬇️
First, setting the scene. Since October 7 Israel has been fighting in Gaza to rescue hostages and to break Hamas's grip on power. A key part of this has been separating Hamas from aid distribution - which is why US contractors have been brought in to manage aid sites.
Hamas needs to control aid - so making the aid effort fail is in its direct interest. NGOs infiltrated by Hamas and other terrorist groups have aligned themselves with this goal. Their objective isn't feeding Palestinians - it's ensuring the aid program is seen to fail.

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
