The online campaign to blame Jews for what attackers characterized as a "Jew hunt, which included miscaptioned video that spread on X, made its way to mainstream media.
(🧵) ⇝ The New York Times insisted it had video of Israelis chanting that there are no children in Gaza. Were they duped by the widely circulated miscaptioned video?

After initially stonewalling, the paper informed @CAMERAorg it had no such video, and published corrections. 🧵

The @nytimes anti-Israel bias isn't organic.

It's not an authentic reflection of events.

The paper intentionally hires extremists.

Yet another example: To help cover Israel after Israelis were slaughtered on Oct. 7, the NYT turned to… a former Electronic Intifada editor. Image 2/ Electronic Intifada is a pro-Hamas, PRO-OCT 7, rape-denying outlet. Here they describe Cassel as their former editor.

And yes, Cassel also worked for Al Jazeera (which I sometimes call the Holocaust denial network, owing to their habit of denying the Holocaust). Image

1/ Among those hired by the @nytimes to cover Israel-related topics:
* The "How great you are, Hitler" guy
* Someone who denied Hamas murders civilians
* Someone who said she can't even look at Israelis and that her “objectivity got thrown out the window"

And now introducing…🥁 2/ Another radical anti-Israel hire by the @nytimes.

Bora Erden, an anti-Israel activist, who was hired days after the Oct. 7 massacre to cover Israel and anti-Israel activists.

Who is Erden?

1/ Wikipedia's volunteer editors, so many of whom are naked partisans, blacklisted ADL as an unreliable source.

1/ The @nytimes regularly sanitizes anti-Israel protests.

Its coverage of Saturday's protest in D.C. conceals that demonstrators held a banner supporting Al Qassam—Hamas's armed branch behind the Oct. 7 slaughter—while chanting that Hezbollah should "kill another Zionist now." 2/ Also ignored by the NYT is a sign that said "stand with Hamas."

1/ Is there a difference between identifying by name someone belligerently acting out in a public space and "doxxing"?

The idea that there's a sort of right to complete anonymity for people publicly behaving like heartless asses seems, well, questionable. 2/ Anyhow, here's @npr making a hero out of a hater:

The @nytimes insists that the message "100 days" shared by an Israeli soccer player is a statement about "the start of the war."

A short thread on how the @nytimes flagrantly, inexcusably manipulated readers by playing games with statistics.

A front-page, above-the-fold story a couple Sunday's ago exploring how this Gaza conflict compares to other global wars. Or at least went through the motions. 2/ One of four points of comparison was 2003, Iraq, about which @LaurenLeatherby wrote that more women and children have been reported killed in Gaza "in less than two months" than civilians killed by US-led attacks "in the entire first year of the invasion of Iraq." Image

1/ The same CAIR that pretended Israel's military response to the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter of Israelis was "unprovoked" also loved the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter.

1/ Ben Collins, a senior reporter for NBC News who apparently specializes in "disinformation" and "the internet," has weighed in as follows on the calamity at the Gaza hospital—now widely understood to be the result of a misfired Palestinian rocket. Image 2/ First a retweet of an inaccurate claim that the hospital was "bombed." Then another retweet of the same.

1/ After likely the largest atrocity against Jewish civilians since the Holocaust, the @nytimes front page—which talks of an "assault" by "militants" whose "gunmen" infiltrated Israel—does use a "terror" word once.

Only, it's in reference to *Palestinians* being terrified. Image This was Israel's 9/11.

Here, by contrast, is the same paper's 9/11 coverage, with a top headline citing our "day of terror," and paragraph one on the right clearly and correctly naming "the worst and most audacious terror attack" in US history. Image

1/ Above all, my heart is with Israel as it mourns. As it tries to recover what it can of stolen lives and bodies, children and grandparents. As it processes what might be the worst attack on innocent Jews since 1940s Europe. As it looks to rescue. And to forcefully deter. 2/ I have room in my heart, too, for disgust and rage at the murderers, the hostage-takers, the Gaza terrorists weaned on antisemitic hate, who, of course are responsible for yesterday's massacre.

1/ If you fail the "Iron Dome test," you should be disqualified from adult conversations about the Arab-Israeli conflict, and probably most other things.

Or: Tell me where you stand on shooting down rockets fired at civilians, and I'll tell you whether your soul is broken. 2/ For whatever reason I found myself thinking about this today, and I'm (still) astonished.

I've done this before, but I'm doing it again. Because it's astonishing.

It's astonishing that Lara Friedman ever said this. She failed the most basic test. Image

1/ There's a lot missing from Shehada's thread, of course.

But ultimately, it's a complaint that, what, after decades of Arafat's deadly terrorism and double-dealing, Israel hesitated for all of…

>>>>>> 5 years <<<<<<

before signing peace agreements with Arafat? Image 2/ And what, should we believe that Israel's skepticism in 1988, its understandable moment of hesitation, is more consequential than Arafat rejecting a Palestinian state and a peace agreement a decade later?

1/ Here's an example of the @nytimes and @PatrickKingsley doing one of the many small things (never mind the big things) it does to slant the story: Image 2/ Per the NYT: The second intifada—an incomprehensible barrage of murderous terror attacks on civilians, which the paper dubs "a surge of violence"—nudged Israelis toward "THE RIGHT-WING ARGUMENT" that the Palestinians weren't serious about peace.

You know that thing where journalists downplay the the Temple Mount's place in Judaism — concealing that it's is the single holiest site in Judaism, even while noting that it's the third-holiest in Islam?

This, by @nytimes @PatrickKingsley, is an especially egregious example: Image Coming soon:
"The Temple Mount, site of the the third-holiest site in Islam, and not entirely lacking in significance in Jewish doctrine."

Seems @jstreetdotorg doesn't like my thread. So how do they respond? With innuendo implying that I, too, must oppose women of color. Surprise, surprise.

Tell me, @dylanotes, why does J Street support Don Beyer (D, Va, Male, White) over Victoria Virasingh (D, Va, Female, Latina-Indian)?

Don't you recognize parts of the anti-Israel community have a particular problem with BIPOC political figures supporting Israel?

1/ Congrats to @JeremyBenAmi and @jstreetdotorg for pushing the absurd and ugly slur that mainstream American Jews are racists and misogynists. Image 2/ Why might pro-Israel Democrats not prefer Donna Edwards, the subject of the NYT piece above? Here's the House vote endorsing "Israel’s right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza," US support for Israel, and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process: Image

A Thread On Attacks Against "Zionists"

1. It's glaringly clear that antisemites use "Zionist" as a euphemism for "Jew."

If you want a refresher on that, see this thread.⤵️
2. "Okay, but what about people who don't intentionally/fully use one word as a substitute for the other? What if they *do* only hate Zionist Jews?"

Fair. Those people merely despise and demonize MOST Jews.

Bigotry always allows for exceptions and benefits from tokenization.

1/ A couple of points about today's @nytimes piece on Abu Akleh.

Just after the incident, I said it was unclear who fired the shot. () New information has since emerged, but it's still unclear if it was IDF or militants.

Now on to today's NYT piece: 2/ The newspaper's conclusion:

The bullet "was fired from the approximate location of the Israeli military convoy, most likely by a soldier from an elite unit."

(It adds that there's no evidence Abu Akleh was personally targeted.)
