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.

Yesterday we saw horrific images being streamed from Gaza once more, as Hamas conducted another hostage release circus. Some will try to deceive you into believing that the creation of Hamas - and its actions - are somehow the fault of Israeli behaviour.

A thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Oct 7 was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust - and Hamas also captured 100s of Jews - taking them hostage. Yesterday we saw three being returned - the horrific images a visual reminder of genocidal abuse.. Image
Since Oct 7 - faced with inexcusable violence and genocidal intent - anti-Israel activists - and toxic antisemitic NGOs - have tried to victim blame.... suggesting that somehow Israel was at fault for the actions of Hamas. Image

There comes a time when you have to accept there is no saving @bbcnews, and we are way past that point.

I just had a look at a major investigation they just published on an IDF strike in Lebanon. Anti-Zionist student journalism does not even begin to cover it.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Last week I put out a thread on the journalist - an activist with a history of anti-Zionist activity - and someone who has worked for Iranian and Qatari propaganda rags.

Who at the BBC employs people like this to write about Israel?
This was an expensive investigation - and the article came with its own documentary. The piece tht painted Israel as a 'spiteful enemy'. The journalist wanted to talk up civilian casualties while working hard to downplay Hezbollah involvement.

So tired of seeing @bbcnews output that is nothing more than propaganda put together by the BBC's anti-Zionist activist 'journalists' - who are somehow allowed to feed their anti-Israel obsessions with the licence fee cash.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The latest 'viral' contribution is a good example. You must have seen it. A months long (and very expensive) 'investigation' into an IDF strike on a Hezbollah target - that did kill Hezbollah terrorists. The BBC even made a documentary about how many civilians were killed. Image
Image
The piece relies on two key pillars.

One: To find out who is and who is not a terrorist - you just have to ask them nicely. If they say they are not - or if you look online and can't find evidence they are Hezbollah, then they are *definitely* not Hezbollah.

A short thread. This really does need pushback. On 9 January Abubaker Abed posted a clip of himself dressed as a journalist - talking about how the international community needs to stand by Palestinian journalists:

His video received almost 5 million views and 32K likes Image
Anti-Israel politicians and journos jumped on it. For example Alex Crawford from Sky spoke about how let down Gazan journalists feel and said it was impossible to feel anything but shame. Image
There are so many naive and easily fooled people that there are an endless stream of people quoting the 'heroic' post. Anthony Loewenstein spoke of his 'powerful words' and called him a 'brave journalist' Image

A few days ago I saw a FB post from a Rabbi in Jerusalem complaining about how he was treated in a @BBCNEWS interview. Told it was about Chanukah - he just faced a barrage of aggressive questions.

So I checked - and it was even worse than the Rabbi realised. Thread⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image
There wasn't one interview - there were three. A set. Spread over several hours the BBC had interviewed 3 religious leaders - a Reverend an Imam and a Rabbi.

For me it was a perfect opportunity. It means we can compare the way they were treated. And the difference is shocking
First up the Reverend. His interview was headed with a clip about an Israeli strike on a humanitarian tent in Gaza. It set up the demonisation process. Image

It is Christmas time - and Christmas is a wonderful holiday.

But people also use it to spread lies and turn Christians against Jews, and so I want to take the opportunity to share five historical facts with followers and friends that are important to remember.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Let us start with the obvious.

Jesus was born a Jew into a Jewish family. Jesus had a Jewish upbringing and would have become a bar mitzvah.

Historical fact 1: Jesus was born Jewish
Jesus was born in Bethlehem - in Judea. The Jewish state was under Roman occupation at the time. All this is also clear from writings of the New Testamant. 'render unto Ceaser' etc.

Historical fact 2: Jesus was born in Judea, an occupied Jewish state. Image
