1/ Let’s talk about Zohran Mamdani – Democratic Socialist, BDS supporter, and NYC mayoral hopeful – and how @nytimes is running PR for him while gaslighting Jews with headlines like this. 👇
Small fact NYT skips?
60% of Jews say they’d feel less safe under Mamdani.
2/ The lies start early. NYT says BDS wants to “economically isolate” Israel.
What BDS leaders actually say: they want to end Israel as a Jewish state.
That’s not economic pressure. That’s eliminationism.
Also, are we meant to applaud Mamdani’s ignorance on apartheid?
3/ To back its case, NYT quotes… “Jews for Racial and Economic Justice” (JFREJ).
Cool name.
But after Hamas’s Oct 7 massacre, JFREJ rushed to condemn Israel – not Hamas – for “unimaginable” violence.
That’s their go-to Jewish voice.
4/ NYT went to a JFREJ event with “two dozen Jewish families.” They quoted:
🔹 A JFREJ activist
🔹A Mamdani campaigner
Both gush about how Mamdani isn’t antisemitic – just misunderstood.
Totally neutral reporting, right?
5/ No NYT puff piece for an anti-Israel candidate is complete without a quote from Jewish Voice for Peace – a fringe group that wants Israel dismantled and is barely even Jewish.
All to sell the line that Mamdani speaks for “the Jewish community.”
6/ Let’s be honest: @nytimes wants to endorse Mamdani.
But most Jews see through him.
So they’re working overtime to sanitize his record — just enough to keep the readers who haven’t unsubscribed yet.
Not journalism. Just damage control. honestreporting.com/live-from-new-…

1/ @BBCNews aired a slick doc blaming Israel for the deaths of 2 Gazan girls. But reporter @stephhegarty left one thing out: Hamas. No mention of child soldiers, human shields, or hostages in hospitals.
When facts don’t fit the narrative, she cuts them.
🧵
2/ Hegarty features a British doctor at Nasser Hospital – someone who has denied Hamas was ever there. She doesn’t mention that Hamas official Ismail Barhoum was killed at Nasser. Or that hostages say Hamas held them in Gaza hospitals. That’s not an oversight. It’s a cover-up.
3/ Hamas is completely absent from this "investigation."
No mention of their plainclothes fighters.
No mention of their use of child soldiers.
No mention of how they operate from civilian zones.
Only one side is under the microscope: the IDF.
1/ Here’s @guardian claiming Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir prayed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He didn’t.
Let’s talk about the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, which also houses Al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest.
A thread on media confusion – and misrepresentation. 🧵
2/ And here’s @latimes linking Ben-Gvir’s visit to the “contentious site” with the deaths of Gazans seeking aid.
For the record:
His visit was on Tisha B’Av – the Jewish day of mourning the destruction of the Temple.
@latimes 3/
Actually no, @IBTimesAU – the mosque is not what’s revered by Jews.
Jews revere the Temple Mount – the holiest site in Judaism – because it’s where the First and Second Temples once stood.
Al-Aqsa was built centuries later on top of those ruins.
Get it right.
1/ This man – now a “moderate voice” on @FRANCE24 – once praised Hitler and said burning Jews “like Hitler did” would make him “extremely happy.”
Fady Hanona is now a refugee in France, appearing on TV to tell Israel to accept a ceasefire.
2/ Hanona wasn’t just some fringe voice.
He worked as a fixer for @nytimes, shaping coverage of Gaza.
After we exposed his hate-filled posts, the NYT cut ties.
But @FRANCE24? They hired him as a producer.
No problem, just add a disclaimer about his “militant rhetoric.”
@nytimes @FRANCE24 3/
Now France 24 says Hanona is a “voice of reason and moderation.”
This, from a man who wrote: “Give me a Palestinian soldier and a German weapon and I will make Europe crawl… Israel will submit.”
1/ Hey @FRANCE24, your “explainer” on Palestine’s Long Road to Recognition is a masterclass in revisionist history.
You skipped key facts, whitewashed terror, and twisted the timeline.
Let’s set the record straight. 🧵
2/ 🟦Israel accepted the 1947 UN partition.
🟦Five Arab armies invaded.
🟦Many Palestinians fled after promises of an easy Arab victory.
None of this made your timeline.
3/ You claim the Second Intifada was sparked by Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount.
What you don’t say:
🟥Arafat planned it in advance.
🟥It involved hundreds of suicide bombings and shootings targeting civilians.
🧵 1/
Jeremy Bowen’s latest “analysis” for @BBCNews is exactly what you’d expect: bias, omissions, and inflammatory framing dressed up as journalism.
Let’s break down how the BBC International Editor pushes his latest smears against Israel. bbc.com/news/articles/…
2/ Bowen writes the ICJ “alleges [Israel] is committing genocide."
Wrong.
South Africa made the accusation. The court hasn’t ruled. There’s a difference between a legal claim and a legal judgment – and Bowen blurs that line.
Carelessness or deliberate?
3/ Bowen vaguely says a ceasefire is “looking more possible.”
Here’s what he doesn’t say:
Israel already accepted a ceasefire deal – making major concessions to bring the hostages home.
Hamas said no.
But facts like that ruin the narrative, don’t they?
- A church in the West Bank “set ablaze by settlers”
- Local church leaders pushed the claim
- Global diplomats echoed it
- @AP, @CBSNews, @Reuters and @AFP ran with it – no questions asked
But the truth about Taybeh tells a different story.
2/ Video obtained by @TPS_News_co_il told a different story.
Jewish teens were seen running toward a small brushfire near grazing land, carrying fire extinguishers and safety gear.
