Exclusive:

Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.

So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope. Image
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...

So I want you to meet them. Image
Alaa bu Hihal was the face of the BBC article. On October 9 2023 he posted this, mourning his uncle - Rafat Abu Hilal. Rafat was the commander of the Palestine Revolutionary Committees 'Salah al Din Brigades' - the PRC's military group. So a leader of a Jihadist group in Gaza. Image
I tracked down Abu Hilal's wife. Her name was Afnan Al-Ghannam. On May 23rd 2023 she posted this - mourning her uncle. This is Jihad Shaker al-Ghannam. He was secretary general of the military council of the al-Quds Brigades – Islamic Jihad‘s military wing. Image
These are some of her cousins Image
This is an image from her uncle's funeral - and the man in the blue-grey shirt in the bottom right corner leading the procession - is Afnan Al-Ghannam's father. Image
Just look at this incredible image. The nephew of the military commander of the Palestine Resistance committee closes the deal to marry the niece of the secretary general of the military council of Islamic Jihad.
And this is the man the BBC chose to use for its headline image? Image
That's family one. What about family two?

Father number two is a strange story. We are told Karam Hameid lost his three boys. For some reason the article does not mention he also lost his wife! Did he not tell the BBC, did they edit it out? That omission is just inexplicable.
Her name was Kholoud Bassam Quraiqa (Hamid). Here she is posting about Hassan and Mohammed Image
Her name is important because it was the Bassam Quraiqa house that was targeted. And sure enough - the clan is affiliated to Islamic Jihad. Here is Kholoud mourning the loss of her cousin Kamal Image
And this is Kamal from Islamic Jihad Image
Here is Kholoud mourning other 'martyrs' from the Quraiqa family.. including is Field Commander Hazem Awad Quraiqa. Image
Here she is (before she was a mum) posting an image of her sister Dina.... Image
Here is her sister Dina out with the family Image
None of this is on Israel - this is all on the radical Islamic terror groups. So there you have it. The BBC presented a case of two innocent and grieving families - torn apart by Israeli army thuggery - and the truth is that Israel clearly targeted two terrorist households.
The BBC cannot help itself. But it is not just them. We need an urgent government led inquiry into how our media outlets have become willing puppets to Islamic terror groups. You can read the full story (with additional detail) in this article. david-collier.com/bbc-terrorist-…

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
