"O Allah, decree all goodness for Gaza, and make this day a day of goodness, peace, and safety. O Allah, protect, protect"
Translation on the right:
This was his profile picture at some point during the 2014 war. It says:
"Al-Qassam Brigades
The Military Wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas
Martyrdom of the Mujahid
Commander of the Rocket Unit in Khan Yunis Brigade
Tamer Salem Qudeih
(Abu Salem)"
And yes, this was his Facebook account. The photo below, which was uploaded to his account years ago, is the one the media has been using to present him as an upstanding citizen.
END (for now?)

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 🧵
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.
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.
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 🧵
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.
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
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?🧵
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.
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
A disturbing new report by @JewishOnliner details how Qatar Foundation International funnels tens of millions into American K-12 schools.
Qatar does so with no oversight from the U.S. government and no transparency requirements whatsoever.
Let’s dive in, shall we? 🧵
This 2020 map shows only Arabic-language K-12 programs funded by Qatar Foundation International.
Because it’s outdated and limited in scope, it understates the number of school districts and excludes other Qatar-funded efforts like curriculum development and teacher training.
As an example, Houston Independent School District has received ongoing Qatar Foundation International funding since 2015 totaling at least $340,000, including $85,000 that it recieved in 2025.
Breaking: The Department of Education just launched a public dashboard showing just how much foreign funding is being injected into American universities.
Unsurprisingly, Qatar is in first place with a whopping $6.6 billion. But let's dig deeper into the data, shall we? 🧵
The $6.6 billion from Qatar is made up of 1,223 "transactions"
These "transactions" are mostly classified as contracts, restricted contracts, and gifts
