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:

Wael Al-Dahdouh is a face of the conflict in Gaza. He is the head of Al Jazeera's Gaza office.

Western media consistently present him as an innocent and tragic hero.

The truth is that the Al-Dahdouh clan is Islamic Jihad royalty. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
We know a family house was hit by Israel in October. And we know his own son was targeted by Israel in January.

Israel produced Islamic Jihad documentation showing he was an active member of the terrorist group.

But this is just part of the story. Image
I start by going back 30 years (don't worry I get to Oct 7).

On January 15 1993, Fakhri Attiya Al-Dahdouh carried out a terrorist attack at Tel Aviv’s bus station.

Fakhri Al-Dahdouh was 23. He was a member of the Islamic Jihad. He was Wael Al-Dahdouh’s cousin. Image

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.
Image
Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image

The @washingtonpost ran an article about the journalists killed during the Hamas conflict.

My own research suggests whoever put it together engaged in deception

The end result is that the WP lies to its readers and spread raw Hamas propaganda 1/9

Thread
⬇️⬇️
The WP ran its article about 78 Gaza journalists who it holds up as heroes.

1. It used the list provided by @pressfreedom
2. It chose seven journalists to profile
3. It searched their social media.

But I did my own research on this a month ago so know the WP is lying . 2/9
For example. 50% of those in the CPJ list worked for Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Some even put out a 'call to arms' on the morning of Oct 7.

The WP missed them all.

How did the WP randomly select seven journos to profile and avoid all those who work for terrorist groups? 3/9 Image

You must have seen Doctor Ghassan Abu-Sittah.

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. Image

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.

THREAD
⬇️⬇️⬇️
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. Image
