Meet Ahmad Hariri. According to The New York Times, he was "a paramedic and photojournalist who was killed in Deir Qanoun an-Nahr on Friday" in an Israeli airstrike.

Don't let the press vest fool you. Was Ahmad Hariri targeted for his medical or media work? Five minutes looking at his Facebook told us everything the NYTimes didn't. 🧵Image

The @nytimes’ new defense of Nicholas Kristof’s column on alleged sexual abuse of Palestinians – including the “rape dogs” claim – even drags in Oct 7 and Islamophobia to protect it.

Here’s what they still aren’t telling you 🧵

Opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury says they “stand by” the piece, boasting of “rigorous vetting” and claiming editors “found no errors.” But if the original reporting were as solid as they say, the NYT wouldn’t be scrambling to issue multiple follow‑ups, stretching evidence and hiding key facts to avoid taking any accountability.Image

Canada is facing a serious Jew-hate crisis.

In 2025, there were 6,800 documented antisemitic incidents, nearly 20 attacks on Jews every single day. Despite some of the strictest gun laws in the world, Jewish schools, synagogues, and businesses are repeatedly shot at while perpetrators face little to no consequences.

Israel raised Canada to Threat Level 2 for Jews, and stated that the Canadian government has failed to protect its Jewish community. When Jews are no longer safe in their home and communities, the entire country is at fault.

This is a national crisis that can no longer be ignored by Canadians.

After the @nytimes “dog rape” story, we examined “human stories” Nick Kristof has published on Gaza.

What we found is alarming.

Sources presented as credible and apolitical supporting terrorism, don’t match descriptions – or may not exist.

Did Kristof verify any of this? Image

Take Mohamed Abu Jafar.

In one column, Kristof holds him up as the kind of Palestinian who preserves a shared humanity, citing him as an example of those “who press for reconciliation and peace,” and in another calling him a “wise” Palestinian from Jenin whose 16‑year‑old brother was shot dead by Israeli forces – and even has him saying “the only practical option… is working for peace.”

A tragic story – and a quote Kristof reuses as his moral anchor. But Abu Jafar’s own Facebook tells a very different story: glorifying “martyrs,” posts about armed terrorists and “resistance,” praising attacks and celebrating jihad and martyrdom.

This is the man readers are told embodies wisdom and is “working for peace.”Image

There is nothing normal about the Palestinian refugee problem. Here are some quick facts:

Most claim there were 750,000 Palestinian refugees after the war. But in 1948, the @UN recorded only 472,000 Arab refugees.

Today, the number stands at 5.9 million people. Why? Because @UNRWA gives Palestinians permanent, hereditary refugee status that never ends, even if they become citizens elsewhere. That’s unique to them.

The UNHCR, which deals with every other refugee group in the world, seeks to resettle and find permanent solutions. UNRWA, which was created solely to handle the Palestinian refugee problem, refuses to remove that status. Again, unique to them.

The result? A conflict kept alive for 78 years.

The 1948 "mass expulsion" of Palestinians?

Actually, it was a mass displacement caused by a conflict initiated by the local Arabs and regional Arab states.

While some of those Arabs were expelled, there was no systematic or premeditated policy.

But this isn't the only time @AP gets it wrong while framing the Gaza war purely through Palestinian suffering on "Nakba Day."

Let’s unpack the bias. 👇https://apnews.com/article/nakba-israel-palestinians-gaza-war-hamas-4230f1ef1a1a36a1f72b664b1ae12acf 2/
Let’s not forget that around 850,000 Jews were brutally expelled or forced to flee from Arab lands across the Middle East during the exact same period.

AP memory-holes them entirely. Image

"The Nakba" means “catastrophe” in Arabic, but it didn't originally refer to the narrative of Palestinian displacement as it is commonly understood today.

It referred to the Arab world’s failed attempt to destroy the newly re-established Jewish state.🧵 Image

On November 29, 1947, the UN voted to partition British Mandatory Palestine into two states: one Jewish, one Arab.

The Jews accepted. The Arab states and Arab leadership rejected it.

On May 15, 1948, five Arab armies invaded the new State of Israel... and lost. Image

The star source behind @NickKristof’s latest @nytimes Gaza piece has a history the paper never told readers about.

It includes torture allegations, Hamas-linked activity, and claims even Palestinian investigators struggled to pin down.

The omissions are staggering. 🧵 Sami al Sai claimed, in 2017, that Palestinian intelligence tortured him: hanging him from ceilings, depriving him of sleep, injecting him with unknown drugs 4 times per day.

Then he told the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate that the torture claims were false.

And then backtracked again, claiming he only said that because he was threatened.Image

The @nytimes just published one of the most serious sets of allegations imaginable against Israel – claims of systematic sexual violence, including a bizarre story about carrots and trained rape dogs. We checked the sources.

What we found is journalistic malpractice. 🧵 Image 2/
First, Sami al‑Sai, introduced by @NickKristof as a “freelance journalist.” What the NYT doesn’t tell you: al‑Sai has a long record of celebrating terrorists on social media.

Kristof repeats gruesome details of “vomit, blood and broken teeth” and lets al‑Sai claim he was arrested to pressure him into becoming an informant. In reality, al‑Sai had already been jailed in 2016 for incitement – and his 2024 arrest was again for incitement.

His own Facebook explains why.Image

The viral @nytimes clip where Tucker Carlson toys with calling Trump the “Antichrist" is clickbait. The most revealing parts of the interview – in clips below – aren’t about theology at all, but about Israel, where his worldview and conspiratorial ideas are laid bare. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 2/5
On Israel and Lebanon, Carlson doesn’t just criticize policy. He casts Trump as a “slave” to Netanyahu and claims Israel deliberately killed civilians in Lebanon to sabotage peace talks and grab land. It's not analysis, but a story in which Israel is always the hidden villain. It requires you to ignore decades of land‑for‑peace – Sinai for peace with Egypt, withdrawal from southern Lebanon, disengagement from Gaza – and to see a small, embattled state as a kind of omnipotent puppeteer.

When that goes largely unchallenged, it signals how comfortable mainstream platforms are becoming with framing Israel as uniquely sinister.

The @PulitzerPrizes just crowned @nytimes photographer Saher Alghorra for his Gaza photos – a prize built on staged scenes, a manufactured “famine” narrative, and intimate access to Hamas terrorists.

One of the winning photos shows 2‑year‑old Yazan Abu al‑Foul, turned by the NYT into the face of children “starving” because of Israel.

Yet the original wire copy notes that Yazan has four older siblings – none of whom appear in the Pulitzer portfolio – and the same mother and child were repeatedly shot by multiple agencies in near‑identical poses, raising serious questions about staging, consent and how one family was repackaged into a global “famine” poster‑child.Image

Do you follow @PopBase, @PopCrave, or @PopTingz?

These accounts present themselves as lighthearted pop culture sources — Taylor Swift tours, K-pop photoshoots, Eurovision updates, and celebrity news.

Yet a closer examination reveals something far more concerning: they are operating as vehicles for a coordinated influence campaign. 🧵 A review of their 𝕏 posts shows an unmistakable pattern: every number below represents posts that explicitly mention Israel.

2025:
• @PopBase: 34
• @PopCrave: 18
• @PopTingz: 7

2026 (through mid-April):
• @PopBase: 13
• @PopCrave: 4
• @PopTingz: 6

Why do accounts that are supposed to be reporting on Pop Culture have such an infatuation with Israel?

This is not incidental news coverage. It is a deliberate, disproportionate focus.

The @Guardian just ran a fawning profile of UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese – they even call her a “rockstar.”

In the opening scene, a Geneva café supposedly lines up for selfies. It reads like fan fiction, not journalism.

And it only gets worse. 🧵 Image

Borger gushes that Albanese is the first person with “UN” in her title to accuse Israel of genocide.
Translation: she used a UN platform to push a claim that doesn’t survive contact with facts.

Genocide means intent to destroy a people.
Israel fought Hamas, a terror group embedded among civilians, with evacuation warnings, aid facilitation, judicial oversight. Not genocide. War.

And on Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day?
The Guardian chose that moment to trivialize the word beyond recognition. The timing can only be deliberate.Image

The media’s takeaway from Tucker Carlson’s interview with Ambassador @GovMikeHuckabee?

A distorted headline about Israel “taking over the Middle East.”

That wasn’t the story...

The story was Tucker Carlson self-immolating for over two hours.

Watch the clip.

Then let’s talk about what the press ignored – the lies, the ignorance, the conspiracy-baiting, and the theological incoherence.

Buckle up.Image
2/
Carlson invokes God’s promise to Abraham – from the “River Nile to the Euphrates” – and suggests this means modern Israel intends to conquer the entire Middle East.

This is theological illiteracy dressed up as geopolitical analysis.

Biblical language ≠ modern expansion policy.

And no serious Israeli government has ever articulated a plan to annex the Middle East based on Genesis.

Reducing ancient covenantal language to a cartoonish land-grab narrative is not journalism.

It’s bait.

The Guardian says it’s “searching for Palestine.”

What it’s actually doing? Searching for a verdict.

From the first episode, the conclusion is already written – Israel is guilty, context optional.

Let’s look at what’s framed… and what’s left out. ⬇ 2/6
From the outset, every Palestinian interviewee rejects Israel’s legitimacy.

Only one state can exist, they say.

Yet when peace fails, the blame lands solely on Israel.

If one side rejects coexistence outright, that isn’t background noise.

It’s the central obstacle. You wouldn’t know that from this episode.
