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 Verify got caught doing something shameless. They published the same Gaza “investigation” twice and pushed it as fresh “verification”.
My latest - BBC Verify does Groundhog day.
Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Put the two articles side by side and it’s unavoidable. Once in October 25, then again January 2026. Same authors. Same framing. Same story. This isn’t verification @bbcnews. It’s anti-Israel recycling. Image
It goes from simply bad to embarrassing. The opening paragraphs follow the same sequence, almost line by line. This is the BBC’s flagship “Verify” unit.
And they’re doing student activist-level journalism Image

New report - published today.

If you care about antisemitism, or are in a space fighting against it, you really need to read this.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR). If you are not paying attention, you should.

APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology.
I traced its history. I found out where & why it was created, and my new report lays out exactly how it evolved.

What you need to know is this: APR relabels reality. Antisemitism protections are dropped. Zionism becomes racism. Disagree with fictional narratives? Racist!

Exclusive: A detailed investigation exposes how false claims on @Wikipedia fabricate history - then get laundered into activist and media campaigns used to smear elected officials and demand resignations
Thread ⬇️⬇️
In Sept 2025, 250 U.S. legislators visited Israel. At the end of a harrowing day touring Oct 7 massacre sites, they went to Ofakim - a southern town brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists. There, they planted 50 trees - one for each state: a simple act of respect and remembrance. Image
U.S. legislators visited a staunch ally emerging from a difficult conflict. Within hours, activists and media outlets launched false genocide claims - and a story spread accusing them of planting trees atop a depopulated Palestinian village. Image

There is a sustained Islamist-driven global disinformation campaign portraying Israel as hostile to Christianity.

Before repeating it, it is worth examining what is really happening to Christian communities across the Middle East.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Let's begin in Syria. Christians in Syria used to make up about 10% of the population - today, half have been driven out. Ancient communities devastated by war and Islamism. Syria is now run by an Islamist with a Salafi-jihadist past - who promotes nation wide sharia law. Image
How about Iraq? In the 1950s they forced the Jews out, now it is the Christians' turn. Once home to about 1.5 million Christians, most have gone. Church bombings, ISIS genocide, intimidation, and emigration - Islamism shattered one of the world’s oldest Christian populations. Image

Exclusive: A new investigation tracking stolen IDF vehicles through Gaza on October 7, alongside newly uncovered footage, reveals that al-Shifa Hospital received far more Israeli hostages than previously acknowledged.

Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
For 2 years, global media outlets denied that al-Shifa functioned as a Hamas hub.

This thread shows:
• stolen IDF vehicles
• multiple hostage convoys
• timestamps
• deliberate misreporting
• hostage vehicles at al-Shifa Hospital
I start at the Nahal Oz base. On Oct 7 seven female surveillance soldiers were taken hostage - four were placed into a single stolen IDF jeep.

But one piece of footage captured the registration plate (703-145) - this mattered - it allows the vehicle to be tracked inside Gaza! Image

These are seven days that shatter the 'Nakba' myth

What actually happened after the 1947 UN partition vote is nothing like the story told in activist circles today.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
All week we've seen people repeat the ‘Nakba’ narrative as if Jewish militias suddenly attacked passive Arab communities and drove them out.

But the days after partition tell a story of murderous Arab violence and mobilization. And I will use mostly Arab newspapers to show it.
The morning after the UN vote, the pages of Ad-Difa and Al-Wahda were saturated with threats, anti-Jewish invective, and demands for an 'Islamic Front' to rise.

Al-Wahda’s headline: “O Arabs, the West has chosen your enemies. Will you remain stunned, or will you prepare?” Image
