Last, but certainly not least in our series of @NPR journalists covering the Israel-Hamas War, is Abu Bakr Bashir.

His Facebook account shows him to be quite the jokester. But not all of the jokes land — like this one🧵 Image
Translation of the above ⬆️

"He tricked him by saying: I will sell you the car for 100,000, with a down payment of 50,000, and monthly payments of 10,000. The buyer agreed, happy to have made a good deal, and when he was leaving, the seller said: And 500 for D."
Yes, it's his profile.

Bashir also says that Israeli soldiers don't deserve to live:

"15 martyrs and more than 1500 wounded. Among them, not a single Israeli soldier or a son of a Palestinian official! Those who do not deserve to die are dying, so that those who do not deserve to live may live." Image
Among his past employers is the Qatari state-affiliated Al Arby TV Image
But here's the craziest part: He is STILL reporting for Al Qahera News, an Egyptian state-affiliated media outlet.

It's crazy that NPR can employ someone who is simultaneously working for the state media of another country.

Is there no rule against that? If not, that's nuts

Be sure to check our the other @NPR journalists who should have no business reporting on the Israel-Hamas War

And another

And the last one.

The UN just "blacklisted" Israel for sexual violence. So I read the report.

Not only does it fail spectacularly at proving systematic sexual violence against Palestinians, it actually makes a far more compelling case for the UN's own systematic dishonesty and incompetence 🧵 Image
Of the 31 "verified" cases, 18 are from 2023–2024, not from 2025, the actual reporting period.

Meaning the UN is recycling prior-period cases to bulk up their numbers, because the actual numbers don't support their premise. Image
Of those 31 cases, only 9 involve rape or gang rape allegations. The rest are threats of rape, forced nudity, unwanted touching, and strip searches. Still awful — but not rape.

Yet the UN acts like this is enough to justify placing Israel on the same blacklist as Hamas and ISIS Image

BOMBSHELL: EuroMed chief Ramy Abdu's brother is wanted by Italian authorities for his role in a massive Hamas fundraising operation.

The best part? Ramy himself is named in the court filing for some highly suspect reasons, as I'm about to show you. Let's dive in, shall we? 🧵 Image
On Dec 27, 2025, Italy's anti-terrorism directorate arrested 9 people in Operation Domino.

The authorities accused them of funneling €7-8 million to Hamas through charitable fronts, primarily ABSPP — the "Palestinian Solidarity Charity" in Genova run by Mohammed Hannoun. Image
Defendant #9 is ABDU Saleh Mohammed Ismail — alias "Abu Khaled." This is Ramy's brother.

The Italian court found he received at least €462,700 from the Italian network and transferred it to Hamas. Image

The NYT just published a lengthy response to "our questions" about Kristof's column. Think they owned up to their mistakes? Quite the opposite.

Here are just SOME of the ways this response by Kristof and @katiekings is disgusting.

And yes, they double down on the dog rape🧵 Image
Not only do they double down on their "reporting," they place the onus on the readers themselves, stating that they "overlook" evidence of sexual violence.

Criticizing your own readers in a column is always a good look 👏 Image
This is gaslighting to the extreme. Two key testimonies come from Sami al-Sai and Issa Amro. The former praised Oct 7 and is accused by the PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY of Hamas ties. The latter is on record calling for intifada and accusing Israel of wanting to drink Palestinian blood Image

Scoop from Jewish Onliner: The media spent weeks crying about the two "flotilla activists" detained by Israel.

The IDF said they were linked to Hamas, but the media didn't care.

Turns out the flotilla's own website said the same thing — before they deleted the evidence 🧵 Image
Saif Abukeshek, one of the detained "activists" who also owns a company that owns dozens of the flotilla vessels, was identified on the flotilla's own website as a secretariat member of the PCPA.

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned PCPA in Jan. 2026 as a Hamas fundraising operation. Image
After Treasury's designation, the Global Sumud Flotilla quietly scrubbed Abukeshek's PCPA affiliation from his biography, a change @JewishOnliner caught using the Wayback Machine.

The October 2025 archive has it. The current site doesn't. Image

The Hamas front group Euro-Med, which the NYT says is a "credible human rights organization," is de facto funded by Nonviolence International, a U.S.-based 501(c)(3).

To understand how, you need to know about Euro-Med's Ahmed Alnaouq, and how he's tied to Hamas 🧵 Image
Alnaouq is Euro-Med's Advocacy and Outreach Officer. He's also the co-founder and director of "We Are Not Numbers" — a project Euro-Med explicitly created and controls.

Same man, same org, two logos. Image
Image
In the U.S., WANN is fiscally sponsored by Nonviolence International — a Washington D.C. 501(c)(3), EIN 52-1645787. American donations are fully tax-deductible.

Nonviolence International has also received grants from the federal government, including over $200K in FY 2023. Image

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.
