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.

Exclusive: Mohsen Mahdawi is a Palestinian in Vermont fighting deportation.

His supporters think he is a man of peace. We found recent footage that completely destroys that image.

Mohsen says one thing in English - and something very different in Arabic.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Last July, along with Vermont based @RaychFeldman - we published a detailed exposé into Mohsen Mahdawi.

Our piece uncovered a history of support for terrorism - a family full of terrorists - and signs of a fabricated backstory intended to create sympathy for him in the west.
Mohsen is facing deportation but continues to fight through appeals. He has amassed a large following of supporters.

Some ignore the evidence and still see a peacemaker. Others back him not because of who he is, but because opposing Trump is reason enough.

Exclusive: The Archbishop of Canterbury just went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

What she did there was absolutely disgraceful.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We have to start with context. Just before she left, she visited the Nova exhibition in London.

It is a place to bear witness and she met survivors and bereaved family members of the October 7 atrocities.

Which makes what follows impossible to explain or forgive. Image
It is not just the Jews she has betrayed. She is misleading British Christians too.

She said nothing about the Islamist oppression that Palestinian Christians themselves identify as one of the greatest threats facing their community.

Instead she blamed everything on the Jews.

The attack on British Jews is relentless.

The uproar over a property event in a synagogue in Edgware highlights the continued squeezing of Jewish life out of the UK.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may respond:
“But, but settlements.”

And I will say this:

If you have become emotionally invested in arguments over "disputed territory" property being sold at a London venue, then you have fallen into a very well-prepared trap.
Ask yourself a simple question:

If you were not personally looking to buy property in Israel, why did you even hear about this event at all?

Because extremist activist groups manufactured a spectacle around it.

Last week I was sent an image of a pro-Palestine stall at Cambridge Market Square.

Not angry students. Not masked radicals. Rather elderly white women encouraging strangers to boycott Israel.

So yesterday I went to Cambridge to hear what they were selling.

Thread ⬇️⬇️ Image
The stall was bigger yesterday - but the same women were also there. I looked over the material and listened for a while - as one activist tried to explain to people how the Arabs had always considered themselves Palestinians -

Newsflash - this was a big fat lie.
Eventually the same woman came over to me. I did not want to confront her - I did not seek an argument.

I just wanted to understand what it was she was selling - so I played as someone there to be educated.

We spoke for about twenty minutes. Everything I was told was false.

We all heard the "tortured toddler" story - it went viral. A demonising claim about Israeli soldiers.

So I did what no mainstream outlet appears to have done. I examined the evidence!

And the whole thing soon fell apart.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First (as I posted last week) I found the father’s Facebook page. His profile pic is of him holding a firearm.

The account even references military training - in Gaza, that means affiliation with a terrorist group.

The Palestinians want you to think he just took a wrong turn. Image
All the media stories pushed the same line. He wanted to go shopping, but took a wrong turn.

This is the area he was stopped. Open fields. No shops. No residential confusion.

At what point does someone realise they are not heading towards groceries? Why no media pushback? Image

Exclusive: Why is it that when Israel kills terrorists, global media has a habit of turning them into innocent figures who must be protected?

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
On March 28, Israel @IDF struck a car carrying Hezbollah terrorists. Since then global media has ran a campaign to paint those inside as innocent journalists.

They said Israel did not give them any evidence. But for some reason none of them bothered to look for any themselves.
I am not even focusing on the main target - Ali Shoeib. I found this on the Facebook page of Mohammed Ftouni. He is on the right: Image
