Exclusive:

We have said that @bbcnews has become a propaganda tool of Hamas.

Well here is the proof. Sit down and hold on to something.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We need to talk about the BBC2 documentary run last night about children surviving the Gaza war.

A co-producer was a Palestinian activist - and one of the cameramen the BBC had hired in Gaza had saluted Oct 7. Image
A lot of the content was clearly staged. And the star of the show was a young Gazan boy called Abdullah -

Abdullah is from one of Gaza's affluent families and narrates the hour long documentary. Image
Now we need to go back to a Channel 4 news piece from November 2023. We are introduced to a young lad called Abdullah - the same Abdullah as the BBC used.

Channel 4 give his name as Abdullah Abu Shamalah - and introduce us to his father.
But here is where it gets interesting. That is not his name - and the man in the video is not his father. Someone lied to Channel 4.

In fact the name of the man playing the father in the video is Khalil Abu Shammala Image
He is the Director of a PFLP linked anti-Israel propaganda NGO called Al Dameer. This full time activist -was no doubt on site orchestrating whatever nonsense Channel 4 was being fed. They believe any old crap. It included pretending to be Abdullah's father. Image
The two people are related though. I searched FB - and found Shammala posting about his nephew. It is a video from 2022 - and shows that they had Abdullah in training to be a child propagandist for years. But it also gave me his real name. Abdullah Ayman Eliyazouri. Image
And with that name I could did further - I found a post that connected the Shammala and Eliyazouri clans. It was likely I now had Abdullah's father - Ayman Alyazouri. Image
And sure enough on Ayman's timeline were plenty of references to his son Abdullah ('Aboud'). Image
And then things start to be very clear. Because Abdullah's (the BBC narrator) father is an official in the Hamas government. He currently holds the position of Deputy Minister of Agriculture - but has held official positions in education and planning. Image
Here is the father of Abdullah (the person who the BBC let demonise Israel for 60 minutes) - at an event in full Hamas gear. Image
The naivety, stupidity and arrogance of our media has allowed Palestinian propagandists to turn our legacy channels into foolish outlets blindly spouting Hamas lies 24/7.

Here is a post from Abdullah's father, praising Hamas terrorists who murdered four Israelis in June 2023. Image
In Gaza you do not achieve a position of power (head of a hospital, head of anything) unless your clan has factional weight. The same is true here. Ibrahim al-Yazouri was a founder of Hamas alongside Sheikh Yassin. On February 11 2021, Ibrahim al-Yazouri died of coronavirus. Image
And sure enough on 11 February 2021 - the father of our BBC narrator - posted a family mourning message for a founder of the Hamas terrorist group. Image
A few days before this - he had explicitly called him the head of the clan (family). Which means both Ayman and his son Abdullah - are 100% Hamas royalty. Image
The two photographers followed these children around for months. They absolutely knew who he was. Did either of the producers?

How did the BBC let a son of a Hamas minister walk around looking for sympathy and demonising Israel for an hour in a BBC documentary??
The BBC is publishing Hamas propaganda. We have the proof now. There is more detail and a few extra pieces - as well as all the links - in this article. david-collier.com/bbc-pantomime/

Exclusive: The National Union of Journalists does not like press freedom or Jews very much.....

A personal journey of abuse and discrimination as I reapplied for a press card.

🧵🧵🧵⬇️⬇️⬇️
Because I work behind enemy lines, I have often been targeted at protests. A press card afforded me some protection - so I had held a NUJ card for several years. As my work evolved I was on the street less and I let my last NUJ card expire. The date? October 2023. Image
October 7 changed everything, and following a very threatening incident I reapplied. I had done it twice before, so did not give it much thought. I made the application in spring 2024 expecting a swift turnaround. This time however, things were going to go very differently...

Exclusive: @Channel4News won awards for its early reporting covering the Gaza conflict. I went looking to see what was so 'award worthy' about their reporting, Guess what I found..

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I found a 7 minute clip from October 25 2023. The very first 'witness' tells the viewers doctors at Nasser hospital are left working on the patients with the light from mobile phones (those filming do not stop to ask how they charge the mobile phones if there is no fuel). Image
This story, of the Gazan surgeons performing operations using only the flashlight of their mobile phones, became one of the early viral stories of the conflict. All given to western media, by the doctor Mohammed Qandil Image

BBC Verify was meant to be an elite ‘fact-checking’ unit for @bbcnews - one of the largest broadcast news organizations in the world.

It turns out BBC Verify is just another obsessive BBC anti-Israel unit manned by amateur hacks.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
On May 13, 2025, Palestinian propaganda began circulating stories of a mass casualty strike on the European Hospital in Gaza. Israel *swiftly* released information they had struck a Hamas centre. Israel had targeted Mohammed Sinwar - the Hamas leader - hiding by a hospital.
Although they could not verify anything at the time - the BBC Verify team went for it. They spent the first 56 seconds just rolling shocking footage of the strike on civilians. BBC Verify spent the rest of the clip drawing doubt on Israel’s version of events.

Why has nobody but Israel and the US demanded that the civilians in Gaza be allowed to leave?

And hold your reflexive answer to that question to the end.

Thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Given the behaviour of western media, the NGOs, and western political leaders, it would be fair to conclude that much of the international community would rather every single Gazan civilian die in this conflict, than see Israel gain any perceived benefit from the outcome. 2/18
What we see from the international community appears unique in the history of modern conflict (and we have endless examples). When conflict arises, civilians flee when they have a choice. Mothers and fathers pick up their children and simply run towards safety. 3/18

There is nothing left of @bbcnews but an anti-Israel activist outlet willing to lie, misquote, misrepresent and distort news to demonise the Jewish state. I can no longer tell the difference between BBC News and Al Jazeera.

The latest example - thread .
We know the anti-Israel activist movement is well organised. So a bunch of anti-Israel lawyers publish letters about Gaza... calling for ceasefires, sanctions and so on. Well two days ago they published another. Nothing newsworthy about it. 2/6
And in that letter, amongst all the anti-Israel rubbish - they say that there 'is' a genocide... or at least there is a 'serious risk of one'...

It is anti-Israel propaganda and nonsense it may be.. but the quote in the letter is clear.. 3/6 Image

Dear @nytimes, I have a serious question about your journalistic standards and blind spots. I can lay i t out in eight posts. This is one of eight.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
On Friday you published a 'guest essay' from Mohsen Mahdawi - the Palestinian professional student with a lifetime of supporting terrorism and lying about it.

In the article Mohsen talks about his dead uncle and seeing his best friend murdered when he was 11. Image
Yet in a piece you wrote three weeks ago that is best described as a student’s “My Personal Hero” essay - you reminded readers that Mohsen's uncle had sat with him for a life-changing discussion - and they sat together by the grave of his best friend. Image
