If there is “no longer famine in Gaza,” as the IPC claims, was there ever famine in the first place?

You won’t find the answer from @CNN. 🧵 Image 2/
Earlier coverage leaned heavily on warnings that Gaza was on the brink of famine, framing them as established fact.

Those claims fueled international outrage and accusations. Yet CNN rarely noted how contested they were.

The New York Times doesn’t use the phrase “ethnic cleansing” in its West Bank project.

It doesn't have to.

Selective imagery, distorted data & erased Palestinian terrorism lead to one conclusion: Israel is driving Palestinians off their land.

That claim is false. 🧵⬇️ Image 2/
The article presents a stark moral narrative: “Armed Israeli settlers, often protected by soldiers, harass and attack Palestinian villagers daily, with the undisguised goal of driving them out.”

It describes masked extremists, rampant violence, state backing, and impunity.

It is frightening. It is also profoundly misleading.Image

🧵 How terrorists who murder Jews are quietly humanized in media coverage.

Not through praise – but through framing, emphasis, and omission.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Image 2/
Let’s start with this headline from @Newsweek:
“Mom of Bondi terror attack suspect says he was a ‘good boy’”

Pause on that.

This is not context. It's emotional laundering – shifting attention from victims to the feelings of the terrorist’s family. Image

🧵 Same outlets. Same source. Two very different reactions.

Side by side, so you can see it for yourself.

On Dec 11, Amnesty International released a long-delayed report concluding Hamas committed crimes against humanity on Oct. 7, 2023.

⬇️ Keep reading. 2/
Even Amnesty International – which delayed this report to avoid appearing “pro-Israel” – concluded that Hamas committed crimes against humanity on Oct. 7.

Its own findings cite murder, torture, rape and sexual violence, extermination and other inhumane acts – committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack on civilians.

A MEDIA CASE STUDY:

How Western journalists turn Palestinian terrorism into something sympathetic, inevitable – or Israel’s fault.

A new “feature” repeats every move in the playbook.

Keep reading.
⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image 2/
The piece opens with a fiction: that Palestinian attacks were basically a reaction to Israeli incursions into West Bank towns during the Second Intifada.

Reality: terror attacks on Israeli civilians surged before, during and after that period – hitting buses, cafés, hotels, families.

The Guardian flips the timeline to soften the violence.Image

🚨 EXCLUSIVE
Global outlets portrayed Gaza’s Omari Mosque as a cultural heritage site damaged by Israel.

What they didn’t tell audiences:
- Hamas ran operations inside it.
- Sinwar prayed there.
- Haniyeh appeared there.

We brought the evidence. ⬇️ Image 2/
@BBC, @nytimes, @Reuters & @guardian framed Omari as an “ancient landmark” – while downplaying that Hamas built tunnels under the mosque.

Photos from inside show Yahya Sinwar & Ismail Haniyeh with other Hamas operatives. Image

🚨 EXPOSED:
Foreign press elites honored terrorists as “journalists” – then gave Qatari state propaganda outlet Al Jazeera a “press freedom” cash grant.

This happened in Washington, DC.
🧵👇 Image 2/
At its gala, @ForeignPressUSA honored top US reporters & then eulogized Gaza reporters exposed as Hamas & Islamic Jihad operatives.

Fox’s @TreyYingst praised them as “fearless and tenacious journalists.”

The room even held a moment of silence for them. Image

There is real suffering in Gaza.
But some of the “evidence” going viral isn’t real at all, and millions of people are forming opinions based on manufactured scenes. One viral clip showed a little boy shivering from the cold as his father pleaded into the camera. But the full video shows what was cut out: the boy suddenly stops “shivering” once he thinks the camera is off.
It was staged.

CNN didn’t publish an investigation – they published a lesson in how to spot media misinformation.

Easy checklist: emotional images, sweeping accusations, anonymous sources, no hard proof.

Case study: CNN’s “bulldozed corpses & mass graves” story on Israel. 🧵 Image 2/
CNN claims Israel “targeted aid seekers” and “buried Palestinians in mass graves.”

Source? “Authorities there” in Gaza + CNN citing its own report.

Translation: Hamas institutions → CNN → CNN → headline verdict. Image

🧵 Campus Antisemitism Is Evolving, Not Ending

1/ A Gaza ceasefire doesn’t mean peace on campus. The new frontlines of antisemitism are being drawn in universities - in classrooms, student unions, and lecture halls. 2/ At Princeton, a course titled “Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide” will teach students that Israel is committing genocide - based on debunked UN claims and a false story about Israel “destroying embryos.”

This isn’t scholarship. It’s propaganda. Image

Reading Sally Hayden's description in @IrishTimes of her time in two south Lebanese villages, you'd think the IDF attacked them without cause.

Her own video footage includes this billboard of a "martyr commander."

And there's more. 🧵 https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2025/11/24/it-was-a-lovely-place-life-in-southern-lebanon-under-israels-remote-occupation/ 2/
Another image from a Lebanese village, possibly another "martyr."

Note the logo in the top left corner, which appears to be that of Hezbollah. Image

📰 “Israel attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in five years,” @guardian claims.

But a closer look shows the headline and the article tell only part of the story — and not the most important part. 🧵 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/11/israel-attacks-palestine-water 2/
The Guardian bases its report on a @PacificInstitut study about global “assaults on water.”

But instead of presenting the global findings, it turns the study into a narrative almost exclusively about Israel.

1/ 🚨 BBC in Crisis.

Two top execs – Tim Davie & Deborah Turness – forced to quit after a bombshell dossier exposed bias and even doctored footage of Trump.

You’d think that would spark real change, right?

WRONG. 🧵🎥 2/
Instead of accountability, BBC’s highest-paid “journalists” – and even some of its famous former ones – are playing the victims.

From Jeremy Bowen to Emily Maitlis, the reactions say it all. 👇

Who are the hypocrites who signed onto a boycott of @nytimes, demanding the paper retract its seminal piece on Hamas' Oct. 7 sexual assaults & rapes, “Screams Without Words?”

Some of them call themselves women's rights activists. Me too? Unless you're a Jew... 🧵 Image @nytimes 2/

WHITEWASH: Responding to our complaint, @MetroUK has stealthily removed the parts of its story that clearly incriminated a Palestinian chess club in Lebanon as terror supporters, as well as @christian_aid's financial support.

But we've got the receipts. 🧵 2/
▪️REMOVED: The photo of terrorist leaders Sinwar and Nasrallah on the chess club wall.

▪️ERASED: This paragraph, where the chess club director proudly acknowledges the terrorist portraits (one of which Metro's correspondent mistakenly identifies as Ismail Haniyeh). Image

If you want to know who the 2,000 Palestinians freed by Israel *actually* were – don’t go looking in this @nytimes piece. It’ll have you thinking Israel just rounded up random civilians.

We brought receipts. Footage. Photos. Facts.

Here’s what the NYT left out. 🧵 Image 2/
The @nytimes claims Israel arrested “hundreds of medical workers” – leaving out that these “workers” were at hospitals Hamas used to hide hostages & weapons.

Al-Awda Hospital? Run by the PFLP.
Founded and staffed by terror operatives.

Now that the campus mobs who called for Israel’s destruction and terrorized Jewish students have graduated and can’t find jobs, @nytimes is here to launder their image.

We brought the receipts – and the videos show exactly what they were. 🧵 Image 2/
LEFT: @nytimes calls taking over campuses and streets a “remarkable display of strength.”

RIGHT: A Columbia student begging for “humanitarian aid” for protesters barricaded inside Hamilton Hall after breaking the law. "Tables seemed to have turned”…. as they begged for food.Image

@Telegraph's story is based entirely on a report by the Hind Rajab Foundation that is simply described as "pro-Palestinian."

What The Telegraph won't say is that the HRF is deeply connected to extremist ideologies & terrorist orgs. 🧵 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a27e23044c65a434 2/
HRF founder & chairman Dyab Abou Jahjah is a former Hezbollah activist & has openly praised figures connected to terrorist orgs. During the Gaza war, he actively demonstrated his support for both Hamas & Hezbollah. Image

Here's Mahmoud Bassal, coordinating the recovery of bodies from under the rubble in Gaza, according to @ABC.

Hero? Humanitarian?

Or Hamas operative? 🧵 Image 2/
Since 2007, Hamas has & continues to control or influence everything in Gaza, including the:
▪️Health ministry
▪️Civil defense org
▪️Local media

So when ABC News interviews Mahmoud Bassal, it's worth asking who he is.

Because ABC News didn't.
