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/

We all heard the "tortured toddler" story - it went viral. A demonising claim about Israeli soldiers.

So I did what no mainstream outlet appears to have done. I examined the evidence!

And the whole thing soon fell apart.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
First (as I posted last week) I found the father’s Facebook page. His profile pic is of him holding a firearm.

The account even references military training - in Gaza, that means affiliation with a terrorist group.

The Palestinians want you to think he just took a wrong turn. Image
All the media stories pushed the same line. He wanted to go shopping, but took a wrong turn.

This is the area he was stopped. Open fields. No shops. No residential confusion.

At what point does someone realise they are not heading towards groceries? Why no media pushback? Image

Exclusive: Why is it that when Israel kills terrorists, global media has a habit of turning them into innocent figures who must be protected?

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
On March 28, Israel @IDF struck a car carrying Hezbollah terrorists. Since then global media has ran a campaign to paint those inside as innocent journalists.

They said Israel did not give them any evidence. But for some reason none of them bothered to look for any themselves.
I am not even focusing on the main target - Ali Shoeib. I found this on the Facebook page of Mohammed Ftouni. He is on the right: Image

This weekend, at their spring conference, UK Green Party members will debate a motion titled simply: “Zionism is Racism.”

Rather than rebut every distortion, I’ve focused on the core pillars of Motion A105. 1/9
Motion A105 rewrites Jewish identity and history to deny Jews the basic right to self-determination.

At the same time, it undermines the very anti-racist safeguards designed to protect Jewish communities in the Diaspora. 2/9
Calling Zionism racist is as absurd as calling a women’s refuge “sexist” - both evolved as a means of protection, not domination.

Zionism is not about distant supporters. It is about the national existence of the people who live it. 3/9

Two hospital explosions. Two @BBCNews narratives.

One dominated headlines for days.
The other disappeared within hours.

This is evidence of anti-Israel bias.
But it’s also something more.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We all know the story. 17 Oct 2023 - Gaza.

Explosion at Al-Ahli hospital.
Within minutes:

“Israeli airstrike” “Hundreds killed”

The BBC led with it - and stayed with it. Image
But last week - a similar breaking story.
Explosion at a hospital in Kabul.
Reports of hundreds dead in an Pakistani air strike.

This time?
The BBC was far more muted. Playing it down.
Compare the BBC headline with the way other newsrooms reported it. Image

The BBC recently apologised after turning the Holocaust into one of many “holocausts.”

This thread examines another case of Jewish history being rewritten by @bbcnews.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
The BBC published a podcast about Jewish life in Morocco. Centuries of persecution were reframed as harmony. Conditions approaching slavery were recast as a “model” of Muslim-Jewish coexistence. This is a classic anti-Zionist fiction. Image
I’ve been there, following my wife’s Moroccan heritage. No one can see the erased communities, hidden cemeteries, unmarked buildings and armed protection of Jewish sites and honestly call this a model of coexistence. This is Pravda-level propaganda.

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
