Another day - another reason to talk about how @bbcnews has turned into a UK version of Al-Jazeera.

The BBC team went to Dearborn Michigan - and posted a clip with an interview of three 'random' Arab Americans.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
The BBC journo in Dearborn is Merlyn Thomas - a BBC Verify hack I once caught using an IRGC controlled journalist as a reliable witness.

Anyway, she is in Dearborn and describes the city largely 'liberal'
(the WSJ have called it 'America's Jihad Capital'). Image
In the short clip two of the three (random people) viciously attack Trump. One says Trumps comments on Gaza are 'unlawful and delusional'. Another calls Trump 'illiterate', saying he has never read a book. Extracts in clip below.
So who are these random 'liberal' American Arabs that Merlyn Thomas found and wants you to listen to. Well the guy is Amer Zahr - a well-known toxic anti-Israel extremist. Here he is in 2017 saying he stands proudly with *every* resistance - including Hamas and Hezbollah.
The woman who calls Trump 'delusional' is Zaynah Jadallah. She is a hard-core anti-Israel activist. She is also a Director of CAIR, Michigan. A point not mentioned in the clip. Big on BDS - this 'liberal' is a serial masked disruptor. Image
I am not 100% on the third - which is why I am not naming her. But she does appear to have been at an anti-Israel demo on 10 October 2023 - in which open support for Hamas was heard on the stage. Facial recognition software suggests this (front centre under the flag) is her. Image
This is not journalism. Whatever the BBC is doing here is dangerous anti-western propaganda in which extreme views that support Islamic violence are hidden and presented as 'liberal' and belonging to the community of the good. All to support the BBC's anti-Trump agenda.
We funded this video. We paid for a BBC journo to be in Dearborn - we paid for her to speak to terrorist supporters - and then paid for her crew to mask it all up and pretend we were listening to 'liberal' voices.

There is no excusing this. The BBC is spreading antisemitism.

And here we go again.
@bbcnews has just promoted a boycott-Israel campaign.

It inflated a non-event into an article, and then misled readers by whitewashing the activists involved.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First, BBC News chose to run a pro-BDS article.

It then cited the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign without telling readers that SPSC’s leader was convicted of anti-Jewish racism just weeks ago.

This omission is inexcusable. Image
The article goes on to conceal the anti-Israel bias of the United Nations Human Rights Council and withholds key information about the political activism of the other NGO it relies on. Every single player involved is whitewashed.

Readers were materially misinformed. Image

BBC Verify got caught doing something shameless. They published the same Gaza “investigation” twice and pushed it as fresh “verification”.
My latest - BBC Verify does Groundhog day.
Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Put the two articles side by side and it’s unavoidable. Once in October 25, then again January 2026. Same authors. Same framing. Same story. This isn’t verification @bbcnews. It’s anti-Israel recycling. Image
It goes from simply bad to embarrassing. The opening paragraphs follow the same sequence, almost line by line. This is the BBC’s flagship “Verify” unit.
And they’re doing student activist-level journalism Image

New report - published today.

If you care about antisemitism, or are in a space fighting against it, you really need to read this.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR). If you are not paying attention, you should.

APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology.
I traced its history. I found out where & why it was created, and my new report lays out exactly how it evolved.

What you need to know is this: APR relabels reality. Antisemitism protections are dropped. Zionism becomes racism. Disagree with fictional narratives? Racist!

Exclusive: A detailed investigation exposes how false claims on @Wikipedia fabricate history - then get laundered into activist and media campaigns used to smear elected officials and demand resignations
Thread ⬇️⬇️
In Sept 2025, 250 U.S. legislators visited Israel. At the end of a harrowing day touring Oct 7 massacre sites, they went to Ofakim - a southern town brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists. There, they planted 50 trees - one for each state: a simple act of respect and remembrance. Image
U.S. legislators visited a staunch ally emerging from a difficult conflict. Within hours, activists and media outlets launched false genocide claims - and a story spread accusing them of planting trees atop a depopulated Palestinian village. Image

There is a sustained Islamist-driven global disinformation campaign portraying Israel as hostile to Christianity.

Before repeating it, it is worth examining what is really happening to Christian communities across the Middle East.

Thread ⬇️⬇️
Let's begin in Syria. Christians in Syria used to make up about 10% of the population - today, half have been driven out. Ancient communities devastated by war and Islamism. Syria is now run by an Islamist with a Salafi-jihadist past - who promotes nation wide sharia law. Image
How about Iraq? In the 1950s they forced the Jews out, now it is the Christians' turn. Once home to about 1.5 million Christians, most have gone. Church bombings, ISIS genocide, intimidation, and emigration - Islamism shattered one of the world’s oldest Christian populations. Image

Exclusive: A new investigation tracking stolen IDF vehicles through Gaza on October 7, alongside newly uncovered footage, reveals that al-Shifa Hospital received far more Israeli hostages than previously acknowledged.

Thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
For 2 years, global media outlets denied that al-Shifa functioned as a Hamas hub.

This thread shows:
• stolen IDF vehicles
• multiple hostage convoys
• timestamps
• deliberate misreporting
• hostage vehicles at al-Shifa Hospital
I start at the Nahal Oz base. On Oct 7 seven female surveillance soldiers were taken hostage - four were placed into a single stolen IDF jeep.

But one piece of footage captured the registration plate (703-145) - this mattered - it allows the vehicle to be tracked inside Gaza! Image
