Despite what this photo caption says, it does not show Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, the mother of children killed in an airstrike.

The photo in @guardian actually shows al-Najjar's niece (left) and brother-in-law with an as yet unidentified woman. 🧵 Image We know this is the niece as she is identified as such in a @Reuters video interview from inside the hospital.

Despite this, Reuters is currently selling the erroneously captioned photo that The Guardian used. Image

Because for @SkyNews' @AlexCrawfordSky, the barbaric terrorism against Israelis on Oct. 7, including the burning and mutilation of babies, was all just an overblown and exaggerated excuse for Israel to carry out a "genocide."

And the @guardian column? There's more. 🧵 "Israel is executing a 'final solution' in Gaza," according to Arwa Mahdawi in @guardian.

Absolutely sickening: Misappropriating the language of the Holocaust, Mahdawi effectively compares Israel to the Nazis. Image

The UN lied about 14,000 babies dying in 48 hours in Gaza.
So why is the media still reporting it as fact? 🧵 Image In a @bbcnews interview, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher claimed “14,000 children will die in Gaza in 48 hours.”
Providing zero evidence to back up his claim.

On this day in 1948, the state of Israel was born.

Everyone talks about Israel since 1948.
But almost no one knows what led up to it.
So, let’s rewind 🧵 Image The land that would become Israel was once part of the Ottoman Empire.. Image

Hey, @AP, there's plenty of evidence of Hamas infiltration of UNRWA, including:

▪️UNRWA employees who are also Hamas terrorists
▪️Israeli hostages hidden in UN facilities
▪️The tunnel complex under UNRWA HQ
▪️UNRWA employees who took part in Oct. 7

Here are a few reminders. 🧵 https://apnews.com/article/gaza-aid-israel-distribution-plan-un-bdbc73f4ba3bab577d7325b3bd2d7667

There is enough food in Gaza.
So why are Gazans going hungry?
Here’s what the media isn’t reporting…🧵 Image The media keeps blaming Israel for a so-called “famine” in Gaza.
What they don’t mention?
The blockade was to pressure Hamas to return hostages and disarm.
And the blockade isn’t the cause of the food shortages… Image

Meet Pulitzer Prize winner Mosab Abu Toha. He justifies the kidnapping of Israelis on Oct. 7.

We aren't going to congratulate him for his prize. Instead, we're going to ask @PulitzerPrizes whether they bothered to check his social media.

Because we did, and it's not pretty. 🧵 Image @PulitzerPrizes Emily Damari, an Israeli civilian, was shot twice and abducted from her home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza on Oct. 7.

Hamas held her for 471 days. But Mosab Abu Toha claims she was a "soldier" and questions how Damari could be a hostage. Image

🚨 Israel identified Gazan photojournalist Hassan Eslaiah as a Hamas terrorist.

But @AP is still selling his photos in what legal experts say may be considered material/financial support of a designated foreign terrorist org in violation of US law that prohibits such conduct. 🧵 Image @AP Eslaiah’s specific photos of the Oct. 7 atrocities inside Israel have been removed from @AP's platform.

Whether he still gets royalties when his remaining photos are purchased is unclear, but the credit he gets on a respected news outlet is certainly a reputation booster. Image

The @nytimes recently ran a glowing profile of Twitch streamer Hasan Piker.
What didn’t make the cut?
His antisemitism, support for terror groups, and unapologetic propaganda. 🧵 Image @nytimes The Times called him “a progressive mind in a body made for the manosphere.”
What they left out: Piker has a long history of antisemitic rhetoric. Image

Louis Theroux’s new BBC ‘Settlers’ documentary claims impartiality. What it delivers is a slick propaganda film: Israel as aggressor, settlers as sociopaths, Palestinians as voiceless victims. Let’s talk about what Theroux really chose to show—and what he left out. 🧵 2/ October 7 is barely mentioned. When it is, it’s framed as a pretext for settlement expansion. A massacre becomes a motive. Civilians butchered in their homes are brushed aside to serve Theroux’s storyline.

🧵 1/ The @nytimes just profiled Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, nephew of Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur. Apparently antisemitism runs in the family—not that you'd know it from this glowing piece labeling him a "progressive." Yes, the guy who called Hamas massacres "resistance." Image 2/ The NYT goes to great lengths to sanitize Piker’s bigotry, claiming he "criticized the Israeli government" and "challenged norms." Apparently, calling Orthodox Jews "inbred" and dehumanizing a Jew who disagreed with him as a "bloodthirsty pig dog" are just norm-challenging. Image

How does a publicly funded outlet like @abcnews get away with broadcasting this Easter-week pile of propaganda?

Let’s break it down — because reporter @MattDoran91 clearly needs a crash course in journalism, not just social media scrolling. 2/
ABC reports that Christians were “corralled” and “beaten” by Israeli police outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — all apparently based on one viral video Doran spotted on social media. Image

As Jews celebrate Passover at the Western Wall, @Independent's version of an @AP story is littered with historical & geographical inaccuracies.

Elevating the status of the Wall omits the Jewish connection to its actual holiest site - the Temple Mount.

Let's take a look. 🧵 Image Judaism's holiest site is the Temple Mt. The Western Wall is the holiest site where Jews are currently allowed to pray.

King Solomon's Temple stood, not on the area of the Western Wall, but on the Temple Mt. itself.

And "Cohen's blessing?" Time to stop using Google Translate!🤣 Image
