She's beloved worldwide.
That’s why Ms. Rachel’s viral misinformation is so dangerous—it doesn’t just entertain millions, it shapes how the next generation sees the world. With 16M subscribers and billions of views, Ms. Rachel is called the “Mr. Rogers” of our time.
But her foray into Gaza activism isn’t as innocent as it seems. Image

@TIFF_NET decided to pull an Oct. 7 documentary from its lineup this year.

Why? It claimed it needed permission from Hamas to publish bodycam footage of the massacre.

Let’s take a closer look at the dangers of giving a terror group editorial control 🧵 https://www.timesofisrael.com/toronto-film-fest-nixes-oct-7-doc-screening-said-to-cite-hamas-ownership-of-massacre-clips/ 2/
Hamas live-streamed Oct. 7.

When perpetrators document their horrific crimes for the world to see, they don’t get to decide whether they continue to be shared.

No one questioned when outlets published images taken by photographers of the crimes of Oct. 7 from inside Israel.

Despicable from @nytimes.
When the terrorist is Palestinian and his victims are Israeli Jews, the whitewash begins.
Zakaria Zubeidi — unrepentant mass murderer — gets the hero treatment.
Crimes blurred. Victims erased.
Let’s break down this vile feature 🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/world/middleeast/zakaria-zubeidi-palestine-interview.html 2/
@nytimes paints Zubeidi as a victim – a repentant figure.
Reality: he’s never chosen peace.
From the start, his path was terror.
NYT spins it as if violence was his last resort, when it was always his first choice. Image

.@SkyNews' chief correspondent spent 2 weeks in the West Bank, covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
With all that time and resources, it’s remarkable how much he still got wrong.
Sky News filmed it. We’ll tell you what they didn’t. 🧵 2/
Sky News repeatedly downplays Israel’s security concerns.
This year alone, Israel’s security service has recorded over 2,000 attacks – from shootings to firebombs.
That’s the reality they brushed aside.

@BowenBBC is back, this time focusing on fringe extremists among the Israeli settler community, even going as far as to make an immoral equivalence with Hamas terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands & oppression of their own people.

Let's take a closer look. 🧵 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4wwxz12jko 2/
Bowen's beef isn't just about West Bank settlers. He implies that every Jew is a settler in "Palestine."

Arabs have no agency in Bowen's world. Instead, the act of Jews purchasing their ancestral land was apparently the catalyst for the bloody conflict as we know it today. Image

@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.

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. Image 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? Image

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. 🧵 https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/aug/03/israel-gaza-war-live-netanyahu-hostage-video-famine-latest-updates-news 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. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-08-03/israeli-minister-prays-at-flashpoint-holy-site-as-officials-report-27-aid-seekers-killed-in-gaza

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. https://www.france24.com/en/video/20250729-from-gaza-to-paris-former-france-24-fixer-evacuated-from-the-enclave-testifies 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.” Image

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. 🧵 https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250725-timeline-the-state-of-palestine-long-road-to-recognition 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. Image

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? Image

🧵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. Image 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. ➡️ Image 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. 🧵 Image 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.”

🚨 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. Image 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.

.@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." 🧵 Image @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." Image

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.

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.
