Big 🧵on so-called "journalists" in Gaza who taught media courses for the Hamas Information Ministry.

Unsurprisingly, some of them are actual terrorists, while others work for Reuters, AP, AFP, and France 24. Some have also been platformed by CNN and the NY Times. Let's dive in Image
Fadi Shanaa, a longtime photojournalist with @Reuters

Musab al-Buraim, who is LITERALLY THE SPOKESPERSON FOR PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD:

Adel Hana, longtime photojournalist for the @AP. Shoutout to @HonestReporting, whose investigation into Hana this week led me to dive into the Hamas Media Training Deptartment's FB page:

Adel Zaanoun, who has been @AFP's photojournalist in Gaza for almost 30 years

Maha Abu Al-Kass, @FRANCE24's correspondent in Gaza

Ismail Al-Thawabta, the Director-General of the Hamas Media Office

Clash Report, the Turkish psyop that half of political Twitter treats as gospel, had 49,200 followers within 20 hours of its very first tweet.

The account — a major source of disinformation and bogus conspiracy theories — is botted as hell. And I can prove it 🧵 Image
The account was created in May 2015 but was completely dark.

Its first tweet only went up on February 28, 2020 — the night Turkey launched Operation Spring Shield, its massive drone assault on Syrian regime forces in Idlib.

Convenient timing, I'd say 🤔 Clash Report's very first post on X
Less than 24 hours after that first tweet, the Wayback Machine's archived snapshot of the profile shows 49.2K followers.

At the risk of giving it any more airtime, the cartoonishly nonsensical "Israeli dogs rape Palestinians" claim has a source worth naming.

It's the handiwork of Ramy Abdu, head of the Hamas front group called Euro-Med.

Let's once again get to know Ramy 🧵 Image
First of all, Euro-Med has been responsible for some of the most absurdly hysterical lies from Gaza, including the one about Israel "vaporizing" Palestinians into dust Image
Ramy was designated by Israel as a Hamas operative since 2013, by the way.

He's got familial ties to Hamas as well.

Here's him just last year admitting that his brother-in-law was a senior Hamas terrorist — and a high-ranking UNRWA official. Image

A new study from Indiana University just analyzed 2,335 YouTube Shorts and 94,000+ video frames from major international news outlets covering the Israel-Hamas war.

The data on media bias is staggering, yet unsurprising 🧵 Image
The study examined 4 state-funded outlets: Al Jazeera, BBC, Deutsche Welle, and TRT World. Together AJ and TRT published over 93% of all content studied — 1,258 Shorts from TRT alone vs. just 68 from BBC. The most prolific outlets are also, as we'll see, the most biased. Image
Al Jazeera's sentiment toward Israel across an entire year of coverage:

❌ 302 negative
➖ 371 neutral
✅ 19 positive

That's 43.6% negative vs. 2.7% positive. This isn't based on the researchers' opinions, but on computational linguistics applied to thousands of videos. Image

Been a while since I did a media takedown thread, but given my role in helping put Col. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya behind bars, I couldn’t help myself 🧵 Image
This to me is the most dishonest part. If you search "Hussam Abu Safiya" and "Hamas" on Google or any LLM, you get a whole bunch of articles meticulously laying out the evidence of Abu Safiya's ties to Hamas.

The author is just flat out lying about there not being evidence. Image
Then we have the two UN Special Rapporteurs the author cites ad the basis for her article.

One of them, Ben Saul, thinks that Somalia is a leader in human rights and also accepted a $150,000 "donation" (not a bribe!) from the Chinese government

So I just finished Tucker’s interview with Amb. Huckabee.

I’ve got to say, the Ambassador did a really great job navigating his wild accusations and constant bouncing from one subject to another.

Here are some of Tucker's most blatant lies and unhinged moments. Buckle up🧵 Image
1. When he called for every single Israeli to undergo DNA testing:

2. When he gave the green light for Hamas to use child soldiers:

Breaking: I’ve just discovered that next month’s annual Al Jazeera Forum will feature a keynote by Iran’s foreign minister — fresh off his regime slaughtering 43,000 in the streets — alongside Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.

Let’s take a closer look at this conference, shall we?🧵 Image
On its face, the conference theme sounds like the usual nauseating, sanctimonious, academia-infused soirée one might expect from Doha. But look at the actual lineup, and the mask slips. Image
Keynote speakers include Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, the president of Somalia, the head of Türkiye’s Directorate of Communications, the director general of Al Jazeera Media Network and a member of Qatar’s ruling family, MEP Rima Hassan and some Chinese government dude Image
