Hamas inflates the Gaza death toll, and the media buys it. Here’s how they twist the numbers to mislead the world. 🧵 Ever noticed how death toll headlines dominate the Gaza narrative? Turns out, everything isn’t as it seems. A new report exposes the manipulation behind the numbers.

There’s a lot of misinformation about Gaza. Let’s tackle 5 common myths and reveal the facts. 🧵 Myth: Gaza has no food.
Reality: Aid is flowing in. 🚛

Why did FIVE Arab countries ban Al Jazeera?

Spoiler: It's not because they couldn’t handle a free press. Let’s unpack what led to this widespread rejection of the Qatari network. 🧵👇 🇯🇴 Jordan:
First accused Al Jazeera of provoking “sedition” back in 2002, then blocked them in 2017 over Qatar tensions. Sedition isn’t journalism, and Jordan made that crystal clear.

Christmas has come early for @Reuters with the same old Israel-bashing story from Bethlehem.

Including an interview with Pastor Munther Isaac, who justified the Oct. 7 massacre & has been described as "the high priest of antisemitic Christianity." 🧵

reuters.com/world/middle-e… Munther's activities include board membership of Kairos Palestine, an org whose founding document makes antisemitic statements, such as engaging in replacement theology to deny the Jewish people’s historic connection to Israel.

💣 Targeting terrorists and minimizing collateral damage🧵

📖 Misused Terms About the Israel-Hamas War

Words like “genocide,” “collective punishment,” and “famine” are often thrown around inaccurately.

Here’s what these terms actually mean—and why they don’t apply to Israel. 🧵 Genocide is about intent: it’s an intentional effort to destroy an entire group. Israel’s goal is to dismantle terror threats, not to target civilians.

Here we go again. @washingtonpost has joined @CNN, @nytimes & @guardian as the 4th media outlet in the past 3 weeks to have published almost identical stories accusing the IDF of using Palestinians as human shields.

Let's recap what the problems are. 🧵

https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1853178857907519800

All 4 stories use Breaking the Silence, whose critics repeatedly allege, appears to frequently rely on “either fabricated or exaggerated” testimonies from former soldiers & are “motivated by financial & political concerns to further a pro-Palestinian agenda.”

Here are 3 “journalists” whose work is more about propaganda than reporting. 🧵 Meet Plestia Alaqad: She spread the false “massacre” story about Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital, even though the explosion was later traced to a misfired Palestinian rocket.

Yet, major outlets like The Washington Post & The Guardian continue to give her a platform.

How did Israel’s path to statehood really unfold?

On the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, let’s dig into the history behind the British Mandate—a story of promises, resistance, and resilience. 🧵 Before Israel, the land was under Ottoman rule for 400 years. After WWI, the British took control, reviving the name “Palestine” politically for the first time since the 7th century.

🤐 Media Blacklist: The Sounds of Silence🧵 Since October 7, 2023, HonestReporting has exposed anti-Israel bias among journalists from major media outlets.

If you want an illustration of biased @BBCNews coverage, look no further than this mess. 🧵
bbc.com/news/articles/… A bus stop was not the target of the truck. The people it hit were the targets. And the truck did not have agency, it was driven by a perpetrator.

0/10 for original journalism, @CNN. Only in the past 10 days, both @nytimes & @guardian have published almost identical stories accusing the IDF of using Palestinians as human shields.

So what's the connection & what's the problem? 🧵

We've been keeping a watchful eye on social media following Sinwar’s death. Here’s some of the worst takes we've encountered.🧵 From portraying Sinwar as a brave hero of the Palestinians,

Is the Secretary-General of the UN working on behalf of all nations?🧵 António Guterres has been quick to condemn Israel's response to attacks from Gaza and Lebanon, but rarely condemns Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Islamic Republic proxies.

EXPOSED: Meet @WSJ Journalist Abeer Ayyoub.🧵 She used her X account to spread terrorist propaganda and fake news, as Hamas massacred thousands of Israelis on October 7.

Meet @WSJ journalist Abeer Ayyoub. She used her X account to spread terrorist propaganda and fake news, as Hamas massacred thousands of Israelis on Oct 7.

She also exploited the social media platform to distribute antisemitic slurs and content that whitewashes Hamas. 🧵 On Oct. 7, Ayyoub posted a violent propaganda video produced by Hamas’ armed wing. It showed terrorists lynching and executing Israeli soldiers near the Gaza border.

Meet Fadel Naim. He's a doctor at Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza (yes, the one that Israel was falsely accused of bombing). He's a regular interviewee in Western media, such as in @guardian & @Reuters below.

But this doctor also openly celebrated the massacre of Jews on October 7. 🧵

In @guardian, Naim claimed Israel massacred civilians at Tabeen School. In @Reuters, he falsely accused Israel of killing hundreds in an airstrike.

But on October 7, he was calling on God to support the terrorists who butchered and kidnapped Israelis.

🧵The media’s reporting on Hezollah’s rocket attack that killed 12 Israeli children has been disgraceful. Want to see the hideous lows journalists sank to last night? Here is @SkyNews suggesting Hezbollah launched an “attack on a football pitch.” According to Sky, Hezbollah wanted to take out a patch of grass and not the innocents kicking a ball on it.

Just who are some of the "UN experts" quoted by international media claiming famine has spread throughout Gaza?

They may use the imprimatur of the UN but, in reality, they aren't the credible, impartial sources you or the media may think. 🧵 ◾️ Francesca Albanese has previously apologized after antisemitic posts on her personal social media profile were uncovered and has likened the Jewish state to Nazism.

More on Albanese's deeply compromised background from @UNWatch's @HillelNeuer. ⬇️

📋 Minimizing civilian casualties while fighting terror

Ever wondered how the Israeli military decides to drop a bomb?

Thread 🧵 Here's a peek into the meticulous process...

When a mob violently protests outside of a Los Angeles synagogue, that's not against Israel - it's against Jews.

But too many media appear to have missed the obvious, instead "both-siding" to create a false equivalence between the protagonists.

There's nothing "Pro-Palestinian" about a mob protesting outside a synagogue, @CNN.
