Any time the groypers, Woke Right, or isolationists ask about the benefits of the U.S.-Israel relationship — show them this infographic.

Let's zoom in 🧵 As of 2024, Israel accounted for approximately 18.4% of U.S. goods exports to the region — not 25% like it was in 2011. Still a big fat chunk of change, though.

This latest NYT drivel is making the rounds. Let’s be clear: any food or health crisis in Gaza is entirely the fault of Hamas—as others far smarter than me have pointed out.

But to make matters worse, the piece leans on Hamas-aligned “journalists” and a Jew-hating Gaza doctor🧵 Firstly, one of the co-authors of the piece — and the one reporting on the ground in Gaza — is Saher Alghorra.

As @HonestReporting previously documented, Alghorra had a "questionable" Oct. 7th post and referred to the slaughtered Bibas boys and their mother Shiri as "prisoners."

Foreign Funding to American Universities: $29 Billion in Four Years!

A major new report by @ncri_io, shared exclusively with @TheFP, reveals a surge in foreign funding of U.S. universities—especially from authoritarian regimes like Qatar and China. Let's break it down 🧵 🔸️ Foreign countries such as China and Qatar have poured nearly $29 billion into American universities between 2021 and 2024 — more than double the total of the previous four years.

Geoffrey Corn — former judge advocate general in the U.S. Army, senior adviser on the laws of war for the U.S. Army, and now a respected law professor — spoke to The New Yorker about Israel’s operations in Gaza 🧵 Drawing on his unparalleled expertise, Corn offers a clear-eyed explanation of how Israel is applying international law in one of the most complex war zones on earth.

His insights are based on first-hand findings from several trips to Gaza and Israel since October 7th.

Huge breaking: In a major reversal of the Biden admin’s position, the Trump DOJ now says @UNRWA has no immunity from U.S. lawsuits—opening the door to massive claims by Hamas victims.

The DOJ also questions whether UNRWA was legally created in the first place 🧵
In its statement, the DOJ writes that:

"It is highly doubtful that the UN Charter even authorizes the General Assembly to create a subsidiary organ such as UNRWA, because its functions are not the type of functions performed by the General Assembly."

Breaking: I've uncovered that Columbia's Mohsen Mahdawi served as the "coordinator" for Fatah’s Student Movement at Birzeit University.

The group glorifies mass murderers, urges students to become "martyrs," has members who ARE terrorists, and hosts terror parades on campus🧵 The other day, the NYT offered a glowing portrayal of Columbia University's Mohsen Mahdawi, whom they bizarrely portray as a lifelong advocate for peace.

In doing so, they unintentionally helped me find previously unreported facts that show who Mohsen really is.

How do Islamists like Mohsen Mahdawi, Mahmoud Khalil, and even Mehdi Hasan infiltrate institutions, manipulate media, and win sympathy in the West?

Simple: Through a set of Islamic doctrines that explicitly permit deception—as long as it serves the cause

Let's break some down🧵 🔸 Taqiyya: Originally developed for Shi’a Muslims under persecution, taqiyya allows someone to lie about their beliefs or intentions if telling the truth would cause danger.
Radical Islamists have weaponized this to publicly pose as moderates, while secretly supporting extremism

Qatar's Campaign to Influence America: A Brief Intro 🧵

As @DouglasKMurray rightly points out, while critics obsess over Israel, it's Qatar that’s spent billions quietly shaping the US—across lobbying, media, universities, and more.

More funded. More opaque. Less talked about. 1. Lobbying & FARA Compliance

🔸️ Qatar spent $250M+ on lobbying since 2017, hiring 35+ firms, many under FARA.

🔸️ In 2017–18 alone: $19.5M to rehab its image during the Gulf Crisis.

🔸️ DOJ ordered AJ+ to register as a foreign agent. Qatar refused.

🔸️ Israel’s gov doesn’t lobby through FARA. AIPAC spent $3.3M in 2024—all legal & disclosed.

For those wondering, the Director of Gaza's Al-Ahli Hospital, Dr. Fadel Naim (@fnaim65) is Hamas through and through.

Let's break down the evidence 🧵

https://twitter.com/IsraelWarRoom/status/1911312188960108951

According to @JoeTruzman, Dr. Fadel Naim (second from right) is the brother of Basem Naim (second from left), a senior Hamas official sanctioned by the U.S.

He has served as Hamas's Minister of Health and is currently Deputy Head of the group’s Arab and Islamic Relations Office.

Update on Hamas Lawsuit Against the UK:

A new website has been launched presenting legal arguments from various so-called scholars, experts, and professors, all pushing to overturn Hamas’ terror designation.

But hilariously, some of the contributors are terrorists themselves🧵 Two of the submissions are from Sami Al-Arian, a convicted Islamic Johad financier who was deported to Turkey from the US

Meet Hamas' UK Lawyers: Fahad Ansari and Frank Magennis.

The third lawyer, Daniel Grutters, doesn't have an X account.

So let's dive in 🧵

https://twitter.com/EFischberger/status/1909951218102722935

Let's start with Fahad.

🚨Breaking: Hamas Launches Legal Challenge Demanding UK Remove its Terror Designation🚨

The 106-page legal application claimed that the 2021 decision "pursued explicitly political objectives by a politically compromised Secretary of State."

Hamas' UK-based lawyers include:

Fahad Ansari, the director of Riverway Law, which is leading the challenge; Daniel Grutters, a barrister at One Pump Court Chambers and Frank Magennis, a barrister at Garden Court Chambers.

What do we think the British courts will rule? So, who's funding the lawsuit? After all, the lawyers claim they were not "paid by Hamas," but that's different than "not being paid at all."

One clue points to an unsurprising source: Qatar

Why yes, @BrianHughes47 is 10,000% right that Hamas uses ambulances for terrorism.

Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? 🧵 In 2004, Palestinian terrorists used an UNRWA ambulance to escape the scene of an attack

HUGE BREAKING: Major Lawsuit Filed Over Oct. 7 Hamas Attack

Families of American victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre have filed a giant federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri and four of his companies.

Let's break it down 🧵
🔸️The suit accuses Masri of aiding and abetting Hamas by embedding terror infrastructure inside so-called “economic development” projects in Gaza.

🔸️Masri allegedly used his reputation to secure millions in funding from USAID, the World Bank, the UN, the EU, and others.

Your daily reminder that many of the narratives we see and hear from Gaza are lies.

Take "journalist" Youssef Hasouna, for example, who was killed over the weekend.

Probably won't surprise some of you to learn that he was not, in fact, an actual journalist 🧵 Youssef's brother, Wassim, was a Qassam Brigades terrorist who died along with several others when the tunnel they were operating in collapsed back in 2016

In honor of Francesca Albanese’s reappointment as the UN Special Rapporteur to Hamas, let’s revisit some of her greatest hits. 🧵

My personal favorite: When she called the IDF’s killing of Yahya Sinwar “quite inhumane,” adding, “I do not believe that this is justice" That time she pretty much said that Israel shoulda let themselves be butchered on October 7th

Extremely disappointing op-ed from @SenatorBanks—not just for his full-throated defense of a man who has repeatedly shown a complete lack of understanding about how players in the region actually operate, but also for dismissing critics of Witkoff as “globalists,” “establishment types,” and part of the “military-industrial complex.”

No, Senator. I’m not a globalist. I’m not an establishment type. I’m not part of the military-industrial complex.

I’m an American taxpayer—and I’m deeply disappointed that Witkoff thinks the JCPOA was a good deal, routinely defends the Qatari government, admits he was duped by Hamas, and, frankly, is completely out of his depth. Exhibit A

https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1903446676347449801?s=19

At the risk of stating the obvious, @nickturse's new report in the @CostsOfWar about Palestinian journalists is flaming hot garbage that doesn't even attempt to address the fact that virtually the entire media apparatus in Gaza is dominated by Hamas.

Let's begin, shall we? 🧵 First off, it's worth noting that any report relying on data from @pressfreedom or Al Jazeera—as this one does—is doomed from the outset.

In the case of Al Jazeera, dozens of its "journalists" are confirmed terrorists, and it was even run by former Hamas official Wadah Khanfar

Another day, another P̵a̵l̵e̵s̵t̵i̵n̵i̵a̵n̵ ̵j̵o̵u̵r̵n̵a̵l̵i̵s̵t̵ ̵ Hamas content creator killed by the IDF.

Muhammad Saleh al-Bardawil was not a journalist. He was a Hamas member who worked for the terror group's Voicr of Al Aqsa Radio station 🧵 This is him 👇

Meet Qatari Education Minister Lolwah Alkhater.

Alkhater was extremely quick to condemn the killing of Hamas terror-journo Hossam Shabat.

So quick, in fact, that it got me wondering: What else has she said about Israel and Hamas? 🧵 First off, she wrote a poem for deceased Hamas leader and October 7th mastermind Yahya Sinwar

🧵 In honor of Witkoff’s interview with Tucker, here’s a look at some of the greatest hits from Qatar’s “decent, moderate, and well-motivated” government, over the last year alone:

1. Building in Doha lit up to commemorate the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh

https://twitter.com/EFischberger/status/1903210145603018821

2. Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, the mother of Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, glorifies Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar upon his death
