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.
The second was Marie-Jose Al Azzi - another BBC employee.
Here she is openly calling on Shakira to boycott Israel
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
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
Another was Abu Sabha. Here he is publicly glorifying and celebrating the terrorist Uday Al Tamimi
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
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.

Dear @AlJazeera and western journalists who have been acting as Hamas propagandists today (like @AlexCrawfordSky from @skynews and of course @pressfreedom)
I have a question about Ismael Al-Ghoul who was arrested today.
Thread ⬇️⬇️
Thing is all his accounts are new - all very suspicious so I went looking for an old one. And I found one.
I used software to conform the identity from images. And this is the journalist Ismail Alghoul. He stopped using the account in November - when he opened his new one.
And guess what I found on the account of this arrested 'Al Jazeera' journalist...
Things like this - on the eve of the 2021 conflict - glorifying / threatening / promising rocket fire on Israel
Exclusive: On Friday BBC Verify ( @bbcnews @bbcworld) published an article about the aid convoy deaths in Gaza.
I was already working on a piece about BBC bias over other toxic articles from last week.
There is something truly rotten at the BBC. 1/14
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
To blame Israel for the deaths the BBC Verify piece relies heavily on a Gazan journalist Mahmoud Awadeyah who tells the BBC that the Israelis fired at the civilians.
But Awadeyah works for Tasnim News which is tied to the Iranian IRGC - Iran's special armed forces. 2/14
And Awadeyah is not shy about his feelings. His social media is full of pro-terrorist messaging.
Did the BBC not 'verify' anything before using this man as a source? Here he is praising the terrorist attack on the 27 Jan 2023 which left 7 Israelis dead. 3/14
1. Held up as a hero surgeon 2. Used as a key witness against Israeli actions in Gaza. 3. He has been on @SkyNews , @CNN , @BBCWorld , @LBC etc etc
The big question is why? Does nobody do any background research?
Thread ⬇️⬇️
First stop Oct 17. The night an Islamic Jihad rocket hit the Baptist Hospital.
Abu Sittah said he was there & called it a Israeli war crime.He also said as he moved from the op theatre to the emergency dept he saw bodies of children piled up. How? Where?
But problems with the doctor go way beyond confusing and mistaken witness statements. Here he is in 2019 sitting next to the PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled. The event was to honour a PFLP leader Maher Al-Yemani.
Exclusive: Hamas propaganda channels claim Israel is targeting journalists.
I have just published a new report showing that the entire story is an unsupportable lie.
Everyone running this story is pushing a modern day antisemitic conspiracy.

There are two lists one contains about 110 names. The other about 70.
Using every OSINT tools I could find, I managed to find 93% of these people online.
And the report shows that almost none are journalists - and journalism had nothing to do with their death.
About half are actually part of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. They are not there to tell you news. They are there - like this one (on both lists) to publish instructions on their Telgram channels telling everyone to pick up a weapon and fight on October 7.
