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?

🧵Did you see the headlines?

- 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.

They weren’t starting the fire — they were trying to put it out tps.co.il/articles/burni…

From the start of the war, Hamas has skimmed, stolen, and sold aid meant for Gazan civilians. Now that food is being delivered for free, with no cut for them, they’re trying to shut it down. Here's a breakdown of 7 times Hamas has sabotaged free aid. ➡️ Hamas brought guns to an aid site and sparked deadly violence. Why? Because free aid threatens their profits and power.

❌ She works for Houthi terrorists.
❌ She praised Hamas for slaughtering Jews on Oct 7.

But @Reuters still won't confirm the employment status of Gaza freelance journalist Doaa Rouqa.

And now there's more. 🧵

According to the Reuters digital database, Rouqa has been employed by the wire service since November 2023.

Her Instagram & Facebook accounts reveal that she was simultaneously working for the Houthis' Al-Masirah — reporting on the same stories for both Reuters & the terrorists.

Meet UPenn professor Huda Fakhreddine. She has repeatedly defended Hamas, romanticized the Oct. 7 massacre, & accused Israel of genocide.

She's part of a network of academics spreading hate, shielding terrorism, & rewriting the narrative one student mind at a time. 🧵 In Oct. 2023, Huda spoke at a pro-Hamas rally where she was quoted as saying, “Israel is the epitome of antisemitism… it desecrates the memory of the Holocaust victims. It humiliates every Jewish person.”

The media is calling Francesca Albanese a "critic of Israel," but she's not.
She's an antisemite, a terror apologist, and a fraud.🧵
@unwatch @hillelneuer @UNWatch @HillelNeuer Francesca Albanese lied about being a human rights lawyer and justified Hamas’ October 7th massacre...as it was still happening.

🚨 SCANDAL: @Reuters, @AP & @nytimes had video footage of Hamas terrorists at Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital in the war’s early days.

But they covered it up. 🧵 We identified the footage from @AP photojournalist Mariam Dagga’s reel (Oct. 11, 2023).

Here's the footage from @Reuters also showing Hamas forces at the scene.

You’ve seen it before.
A bombed-out building.
A pile of rubble.
And there, impossibly intact, a teddy bear.
Let’s talk about one of the most emotionally powerful, and misleading, images used in war coverage. 2/
The teddy bear in the rubble sends a clear message: a child died here. It’s powerful, emotional, and widely used. But when the same bear keeps appearing in different scenes, taken by different photographers, it raises questions.
📸 Rafah, Jan 21. Same toy, multiple photos.

.@Independent "takes a closer look at the history of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and why it is controversial."

So let's take a closer look at how The Independent evidently finds the concept of Jews defending themselves against terrorists to be "controversial." 🧵 @Independent No mention of how the newly formed IDF fought to defend the nascent Jewish state against 5 Arab armies intent on wiping it out.

Just a hyperbolic claim that "hundreds of thousands of people were driven...into refugee camps."

🇺🇸 New York 🇨🇦 Toronto 🇬🇧 Manchester 🇦🇺 Sydney

All major cities. But they aren't capital cities.

Like 🇮🇱 Tel Aviv. It isn't Israel's capital.

So why do so many media outlets keep claiming it is?

Here's a running 🧵 of capital errors as Tel Aviv comes under missile barrage 👇 Using Tel Aviv as a metonym for Israel's government and directly referring to it as Israel's capital. All in the space of two paragraphs.

Not very impressive, @MailOnline.

Israel struck Iran preemptively.
Was it legal under international law? Here's what the rules actually say 👇 International law doesn’t ban preemptive strikes, but it does make them hard to justify.
They must be a response to a real, immediate threat, not a guess or grudge.

How the media manufactured a “genocide.”
Zach Goldberg breaks down how the world’s most serious crime became a political weapon—and how media outlets helped it happen. 🧵 Mentions of “genocide” in relation to Israel have exploded—far beyond how the media treated actual, recognized genocides in history.

“Why hasn’t there been a Palestinian state?”
Let’s talk about the peace deals that could’ve made it happen—and why they were rejected.👇 1️⃣ 1947 – The UN Partition Plan
Palestinians were offered statehood with the most fertile land.
Arab leaders said no. Then 6 Arab states attacked Israel.
Israel survived.

📰 No casualties. No bullet wounds. No injuries. No massacres.
But that's not how the media reported it...🧵 The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's drone footage showed zero casualties, the IDF confirmed it, but media outlets still ran Hamas quotes as fact.

🚚 Aid finally makes it to Gazans—but the headlines still miss the real story.🧵 The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation successfully delivered aid to thousands of Gazans. Israel only fired warning shots to keep order—no injuries, no deaths. Media spin? “Israel opens fire.”

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. 🧵 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.

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. 🧵

https://twitter.com/AlexCrawfordSky/status/1926240143247101993

"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.

The UN lied about 14,000 babies dying in 48 hours in Gaza.
So why is the media still reporting it as fact? 🧵 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.

"Famine" makes headlines, but the math just isn't mathing. 🧵 This is how major outlets frame the crisis. But what aren't they saying?

Someone is silencing Gaza’s journalists.
And it’s not who you’ve been told. 🧵 The Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom published a report revealing how Gazan reporters are being threatened, stalked, and assaulted.

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 🧵 The land that would become Israel was once part of the Ottoman Empire..
