1/ 🚨
This is Dr. Khalil al-Daqran — quoted endlessly by @nytimes, @NBCNews, @Reuters, @FRANCE24 as a “hospital spokesman” in Gaza.
Here he is shaking hands with Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct 7 massacre.
This is the media’s “source.” 🧵 Image 2/
Just yesterday @nytimes quoted al-Daqran describing “catastrophic” scenes of disease, sewage, and tents in Gaza.
But on Oct 7, 2023—the day of Hamas’s massacre—this same man was publicly praying for Allah to “defeat the Jews.” Image

🚨 @BBCNews’ latest “explainer” on Hamas is offensively bad. It reads like PR for a terror group. It sanitizes mass murderers & rapists — exposing the BBC’s contempt for Israel & Jews. The BBC has become what it claims to report on: a platform spreading hate. 🧵 Image 2/
The headline: “What is Hamas and why is it fighting with Israel?”
Not: “Why did Hamas massacre 1,200 Israelis on Oct 7?”
The BBC frames it as a “fight” & parrots Hamas lines — “decades of oppression,” “blockade,” even “defending Islam’s 3rd holiest site.” Image

The UN's "genocide" case was rigged from the start.🧵 This week, the @unitednations Commission of Inquiry dropped a 72-page report accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza.

The headlines went viral. Image

💥 This @Reuters piece is as vile as its headline. It paints Hezbollah terrorists as victims of Israel’s pager strike. Then it lies — calling the op the “opening salvo” of the war. Wrong. Hezbollah fired first, Oct 8, 2023.
🧵 Image 2/
Like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah hides in hospitals & schools. @Reuters admits this — then calls one a “Hezbollah-affiliated facility.” Translation: a terror outpost where the “hospital director” had a Hezbollah pager for “maintenance.” You can’t make this up. Image

@mehdirhasan falsely claims Gazan journalists were "killed *because* they were wearing a vest marked 'Press'."

No, Mehdi. Israel does not deliberately target genuine journalists for doing their jobs.

And as for some of those you specifically named? Let's take a look. 🧵 2/
Anas al Sharif:
▪️Led a Hamas terror cell and helped advance rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
▪️Was a Hamas operative since 2013 and reported on the war in Gaza for Qatari-funded Al Jazeera. All while on Hamas’ payroll.

Glitz, glamor, red carpets… and Palestine.
At last night’s @TheEmmys, some celebs couldn’t resist hijacking the spotlight with anti-Israel stunts.

From Javier Bardem’s keffiyeh show to “Free Palestine” shout-outs, here’s a roundup of the worst. 🧵 Image 2/
The “biggest attention seeker” award? Javier Bardem. He wore a keffiyeh, accused Israel of “genocide,” and cited that dodgy “genocide scholars” group where anyone can join for $30. Real scholarly, Javier. 🙄

Antisemitic conspiracy theorists are having a field day after Charlie Kirk was gunned down on a Utah campus. Their target? Israel.

Let’s unpack the wildest “Israel did it” lies fueling this grotesque political assassination discourse. 🧵 Image 2/
First up: @RealCandaceO. Never one to miss a clout-chasing moment, she hinted Netanyahu may have had Kirk killed—because of a letter Charlie once wrote him. For the record: Kirk was a staunch Zionist who visited Israel often. Owens is just peddling garbage. Image

Charlie Kirk’s murder is a tragedy. Whatever your politics, his fierce defense of Israel stood out. On campuses worldwide he fearlessly debated Israel’s right to exist – changing minds along the way.

A thread of Charlie’s most impactful defenses of Israel 🧵 2/
In the UK, Charlie shredded a sanctimonious Cambridge student. He broke down urban warfare, Hamas using civilians as shields, & the double standard forced on Israel.
“Israel is the good guy.” – Charlie Kirk

Israel struck Hamas’s leadership hiding in luxury in Doha. Qatar condemned. The US confirmed it approved the op. These aren’t “politicians” – they’re the snakes financing & prolonging terror. Here’s who was in the room – and what the media won’t tell you. 🧵 Image 2/
Khaled Mashal
The face of Hamas abroad. Survived an Israeli hit in ’97, now lounging in Doha while Gazans suffer. Media says Hamas was “close to accepting a deal”? That’s Mashal’s lie. He’s vowed only “jihad” is the path forward. Image

What's going on at the @WSJ?

The one media outlet that could be counted on for factual accuracy and moral clarity can't even directly call out terrorism.

The WSJ shouldn't need to hide behind an Israeli police imprimatur to know what terror is.

And there's more. 🧵 https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/jerusalem-shooting-attack-updates-079d3b49 2/
The attack occurred at a busy road junction in northern Jerusalem that connects the city with multiple parts of the country and is used by Israelis of all stripes.

So why indulge in politicized geography rather than stating where this terrorist attack actually took place? Image

International media keep declaring “famine” in Gaza City.
But social media tells another story. 🧵
h/t @imshin @imshin On August 22, 2025, the UN-backed IPC declared Gaza City in famine. The media echoed it with images of hunger and despair. But those images that don’t match the videos coming out of Gaza City. Image

▪️Platforming terrorists & terror sympathizers
▪️Calling for the “fall of the world order,” sympathizing with Hamas, and demonizing the West
▪️Teaching kids about Palestinian "resistance"

Here are some of the "highlights" from the People’s Conference for Palestine 2025 🧵 Image 2/
Online streamer Hasan Piker encouraged attendees to “find the anger in [their] heart” to continue the Palestinian “resistance” movement “out of spite.”

Let's be absolutely clear: Israel targets terrorists, not journalists.

But here are just a few examples of when so-called journalists were deliberately targeted - because they were terrorist operatives. 🧵 Image 2/
❌ Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa was fired from Reuters in Jan. 2024 after we exposed his social media call on Gazans to infiltrate Israel on Oct. 7.

He also boasted that he was with Hamas in Sderot that day & documented the lynching of an Israeli soldier.

.@972mag claimed Israel killed only 8,900 combatants, branding all other Gazan casualties as civilians.

But the piece debunks its own claims.🧵 Image @972mag For one, they only counted named fighters. Militants who cannot be identified by name are removed from the tally and counted as civilians. Image

This set of maps is designed to promote the lie that Israel has been stealing land from "Palestine" since 1946.

Shame on @thetimes for including it in an "explainer."

Here's an explanation of what these maps really show. 🧵 Image 1/
Map 1: "1946"

The first map purports to show “Historic Palestine,” and is filled with red, indicating that it is one self-governing state. In the period preceding British rule, the region was administered by Turkey and stretched into modern-day Lebanon and Syria. The area at the time was never a sovereign entity in its own right, and the boundaries shown in such a map do not reflect the boundaries of the region as administered by the Ottomans, nor as they appeared under previous rulers.Image

A blood libel disguised as a tragic war feature. The @nytimes “trauma of Gaza’s children” piece is built on distortions— from photos staged at propaganda sites (spot the red & white gate) to casualty figures framed to demonize Israel. We see you, NYT. 🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/world/middleeast/gaza-children-school-play.html 2/
NYT says Israel has “killed 18,000 under 18.” The trick? They lump in 16–17-year-old militants with toddlers to paint all as “children.” Hamas’ own ministry admitted most deaths were combat-age males. NYT cherry-picks to make Israel look like baby-killers. Image

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
