1️⃣ In 2007, the BBC faced an internal crisis over a misleading edit of Queen Elizabeth II walking out of a photoshoot. Within hours, they apologised. Senior resignations followed.

Fast forward to 2025: they’ve been caught again. But this time, it’s much worse. ⬇️ Image
2️⃣ The BBC’s new documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, was marketed as an unfiltered look at children’s lives in the Strip.

In reality, it was a blatant Hamas propaganda piece—narrated by the son of a Hamas minister.Image
Image
3️⃣ Instead of issuing a swift apology, like they did for the Queen, the BBC dug in.

No resignations. No accountability. Just a limp defense that the film “met editorial guidelines.” Image
4️⃣ Only after relentless scrutiny—from investigative journalists, former BBC execs, and outraged viewers—did they quietly remove the documentary for “further review.”

But the damage was done. Hamas’s narrative had already been broadcast to millions. Image
5️⃣ The BBC’s featured “child paramedic” was supposedly volunteering in a hospital, assisting journalists, and cleaning ambulances—all in a single day.

Absurd? Of course.
6️⃣ Grooming and using children for PR is a well-worn Hamas propaganda tactic: manufacturing child “heroes” to deliver scripted anti-Israel monologues.

1/ Now a second child star of the BBC’s propaganda film about Gaza has been revealed to be linked to Hamas. Here he is in Hamas clothing with a gun.

But wait, I can reveal more about the BBC’s use of this boy, called Zakaria, in their dodgy film... 🧵👇🏻Image
2/ Zakaria is said by the BBC to be a child volunteer helping paramedics in Gaza. They show an elaborate sequence where we’re told he’s helping the adults at the hospital as casualties arrive from a nearby airstrike.

Here he is behind the ambulance. Note how his hair is short.

Watch what happens next…Image
Image
3/ Zakaria asks the paramedics to take him with them to the bomb site. They refuse, and hand him a water bottle to refill. “I went to a bombing site before and I want to go again” he says, grinning.
But what happened to his short hair? Now it’s long and greasy, he’s wearing a dirty shirt, and black flip flops…Image

1️⃣ The Trump-Netanyahu press conference was not diplomacy as usual. It was a seismic shift—one that redefines the Middle East in stark, unambiguous terms.

Here are the 5 most powerful takeaways from this historic moment 🧵:
2️⃣ The end of the two-state illusion:

For decades, world leaders have clung to the fantasy of a Palestinian state.

Trump made it clear: that era is over. No more negotiations to “reform” Palestinian governance. The paradigm has shifted.Image
3️⃣ The fate of Gaza has been decided:

Trump’s statement was the most shocking of all—The goal is not to rebuild Gaza, not to reform it, but to remove its population entirely.

But this was not improvisation. It’s a policy shift decided in advance. A grand vision.Image

🧵In return for the four Israeli women abducted, Israel is releasing 200 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. The Western media is doing almost zero analysis of who these people are. Here is some basic info according to the names circulating at the moment: 👇
There are 100 prisoners in the release today who are listed as being guilty of crimes directly related to killing, such as murder, homicide, or causing death.
Over 100 of the prisoners on the list today were serving life sentences. They are being released not for good behaviour or showing remorse, but because they were part of a blackmail deal.

1/ As a ceasefire was announced, Gazans celebrated—but not as you’d expect. The tone was triumphalist, with chants like “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud!”—an ancient call to destroy Jews. This wasn’t relief or hope for peace. It revealed something far deeper. 🧵⬇️
2/ These celebrations glorified violence and martyrdom, celebrating not peace, but the destruction of Jews. Hamas’s ideology is rooted in jihad, framing this as a religious and existential battle, not merely a political or territorial one. ⬇️
3/ Decades of indoctrination—through education, media, and religious rhetoric—have shaped a worldview that sanctifies suffering and death. It’s not just about land; it’s about a radical goal of eradicating Jews, as Hamas’s own charter makes clear. ⬇️

🧵 1/7 If the hostage deal goes ahead, it will be the latest in a series of blackmail deals imposed on Israel over the years to recover kidnapped people or their dead bodies. Here’s a brief history. 👇🏻
2/7 The entire Arab strategy of hostage-taking and blackmail dates back to 1985 with the Jibril Deal, when Israel released 1,150 Palestinian and Arab prisoners, including hardened terrorists, to secure the safe return of three Israeli soldiers. Image
3/7 After this the Arabs learnt how to blackmail Israel: in 1996 there was the Fink-Alsheikh Exchange – 123 prisoner bodies for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers, Yosef Fink and Rahamim Alsheikh after they were taken 10 years earlier by Hezbollah.

The BBC is so used to broadcasting bad faith antisemitic and anti-Israel material that it hardly surprises us any more. Here's a report about how they lied to a Rabbi before they interviewed him. I spoke with Rabbi Gideon Sylvester about his interview the day before and immediately after it, and I saw their invitation to him, so I know what happened.

This is not an isolated incident at all. It's part of a deliberate pattern.

1/13 🧵👇🏻
In 2021, Jewish children were attacked as they celebrated Chanukah in Oxford Street and had to flee. The BBC chose falsely to report that they had uttered an "anti-Muslim" slur. Jews had to carry out our own forensic analysis of the supposed 'slur' to prove the BBC's claim the children said "dirty Muslims" was entirely false. It was Hebrew for "call someone, it’s urgent."

The BBC was reluctantly shamed into a begrudging apology and Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, found that the BBC had committed "significant editorial failings".

Four months ago BBC Radio 4's flagship @BBCr4today programme aired an inflammatory interview with Iranian academic Sayed Mohammad Marandi. Introduced as a professor and former adviser to the Iranian government, Marandi launched an unchecked tirade, calling Israel a “genocidal regime,” accusing the UK of supporting a “holocaust in Gaza,” and justifying resistance against Israel as the "only solution."

The BBC didn't challenge his racist nonsense, which included claims of Israeli "ethno-supremacism."

The BBC later issued a partial apology, admitting they should have "continued to challenge his language" during the live interview but stood by their decision to include him for a "broad perspective."
