Why is it that almost every time @bbcnews publishes an article about Israel it contains three features.

1. It demonises Israel
2. It contains lies
3. A journo involved supports Islamic terrorism

Well this time they really outdid themselves. Shocking even for them. Thread ⬇️⬇️ Last night @bbcnews published an article on Syria. On the face it was written by @LucyWilliamson. The report is junk - even its opening line is deceptive - and the content paints Israel as irrational warmongers.

All this is usual for the BBC - but look a little closer. Image

Nobody should believe a word about Israel that comes from @bbcnews

And the more you dig - the worse it all gets.

Here is a thread with three new examples (read the linked article for the full story).
⬇️⬇️⬇️ The BBC ran a tragic tale about a woman who moved four times to escape Israel's bombing - and eventually her family was hit.

But the article does not tell people she lived in a Hezbollah stronghold - moved to another - or that her husband was 'at the service' of Hezbollah. Image

Yesterday we saw a Palestinian 'journalist' - Hossam Shabat - report on a new weapon that makes people disappear. Oh, how we mocked.

But underneath the jokes - there is a sinister truth - and an awful indictment of our own mainstream media outlets.

thread: ⬇️⬇️ Here is the man who reported the 'evaporating bodies' - being quoted on @bbcnews - in an article from last December about how half of Gaza was starving. Who found him and quoted him? The BBC's Gazan based hero - Rushdi Abu Alouf. Image

Dear @bbcnews - a question.

You are running yet another article about a massacre in Gaza.

The person you chose to be you reliable source for this story is Fadel Naim- the Director of Al Alhy hospital in Gaza.

You even call him a Dr...So let's look at your source 1/4 Image This is what your honest and reliable source - your 'doctor' was posting on 7 October - as terrorists slaughtered and raped civilians. He praised god and hoped these 'heroes' would hit their target.

Hardly your average NHS doctor then 2/4 Image

I spent the weekend at the Islamic Global Peace and Unity festival at the London Excel....

I will keep the thread short because the detail can be found by following the link to the article below 1/7

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Behind the mask of a cultural festival, extremism was visible everywhere

In the exhibition area - some stalls were linked to terror groups such as the PFLP and banned organisations such as Samidoun.... 2/7 Image

Exclusive:

Amnesty International Marketing and Comms Director behind official BDS campaign against Chevron. 1/9

Thread:⬇️⬇️⬇️ The BDS movement seeks to destroy Israel - and the organising body (the BNC) has ties to terror groups.

Amnesty International has long denied supporting the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) campaign - but from the evidence below - that just does not seem to be true. 2/9

Busted again!! @bbcnews cannot help themselves.

Tonight they are running a documentary about Gaza - and again they are pushing terrorist supporters as innocent victims: 1/8

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Remember how last week the BBC aired a documentary about the October 7 massacre.

Well in 'BBC land' everything must be equal - so tonight they are running a documentary about 4 Gazans - Aya, Adam, Khaled and Aseel.

It is called 'LIfe and Death in Gaza'. 2/8

Breaking: I am trying to keep up with this 'Hamas Rape Tunnel of Gaza' action today by @LondonNotHamas - from their feed it looks like they have got the whole of the underground one way or another. Both on trains and off. This stunning poster at Old Street station Image They seem to be using the hashtags #gethamasoutoflondon #londonagainsthamas #hamasrapetunnels so maybe we should help them spread the word...

Wanna see a classic example of 'Jews don't count'??

This example provided by the toxic, rancid, antisemitic NGO - Amnesty International... Told in 4 parts

1. I start with this simple post from @amnesty - concerned for all the Lebanese people rushing to safety. Image 2. Now Amnesty have no love for Iran - and now and again do post about prisoners of conscience and the Iranian regime crushing dissent (just as Amnesty before it went off the rails in the early 2000s used to)... Image

Exclusive: Yesterday the @bbcnews flagship BBC Verify published blatant pro-Iranian propaganda.

BBC Verify is an amateurish, propaganda device- that is driven by unacceptable bias, and publishes blatant lies worthy of a Russian Soviet era misinformation service.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ BBC Verify published a 1 minute 20 second video titled 'where Iran's missiles struck in Israel'.

The BBC tells us the video is to counter 'false imagery' circulated online. They say they verified strikes in the vicinity of three key locations - all of them military sites: 2/11 Image

The anti-Israel campaign is built on myths. They have spread so many lies that the mainstream has lost sight of what is real.

Here are just 10

Thread:⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1. 'Israel is committing genocide'

Blatant nonsense. Israel lost 100s of soldiers because it tries to keep civilian casualties down. The genocide claim is visibly untrue and defies all common sense.

The smear is a spiteful & deliberate lie to belittle the Holocaust.

Exclusive: @bbcnews deliberately held back truth about dog attack story - whitewashing a family of terrorists and then butchering an IDF statement to make sure YOU never got to hear about it.

Why is this allowed to happen @rburgessbbc?

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️1/16 Last week BBC published an article about an attack on a man with Down's syndrome who was 'mauled'by an IDF dog.

It was penned by @fergalkeane47 - an amateur BBC hack who acts like an activist from Electronic Intifada

So I went digging to see what he was hiding from you. 2/16

Bombshell exclusive.

I have obtained internal BBC documents that prove not only did @bbcnews spread a blatant fake news story - but that prove the BBC uses Al Jazeera and Hamas channels as sources for its updates.

Unforgivable and inexcusable. 1/10
Thread ⬇️⬇️ Between January 22th and January 28th following fights between Hamas and Israeli forces - Palestinians said they buried over 200 bodies in the courtyard of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. No doubt almost all terrorists. 2/10

As our university spaces turn into intimidating pro-terrorist encampments - the BBC just published a whitewash about a 'peaceful and proud' protest camp at Newcastle University.

Another @bbcnews piece written by an amateur hack who knows nothing and does no research. 1/6 ⬇️⬇️ Image The face of the Newcastle camp and a key driver of the recent anti-Israel activism on campus (and wider afield in Newcastle) is Hala Hanina a Palestinian PhD student. 2/6 Image

Exclusive:

Wael Al-Dahdouh is a face of the conflict in Gaza. He is the head of Al Jazeera's Gaza office.

Western media consistently present him as an innocent and tragic hero.

The truth is that the Al-Dahdouh clan is Islamic Jihad royalty. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Image We know a family house was hit by Israel in October. And we know his own son was targeted by Israel in January.

Israel produced Islamic Jihad documentation showing he was an active member of the terrorist group.

But this is just part of the story. Image

Dear @AlJazeera and western journalists who have been acting as Hamas propagandists today (like @AlexCrawfordSky from @skynews and of course @pressfreedom)

I have a question about Ismael Al-Ghoul who was arrested today.

Thread ⬇️⬇️ Thing is all his accounts are new - all very suspicious so I went looking for an old one. And I found one.

I used software to conform the identity from images. And this is the journalist Ismail Alghoul. He stopped using the account in November - when he opened his new one.

I want to tell you a story.

Last week the BBC Verify team posted a demonising report that accused Israel of abusing Palestinian medics.

The BBC Verify story relied on six separate sources. I think you should meet the people @bbcnews rely on:

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her social media accounts are full of anti-Israel venom. On X she even liked posts that celebrated Oct 7 and support Hamas.

This woman is not a random bystander. She WORKS for the BBC. Image

Exclusive: On Friday BBC Verify ( @bbcnews @bbcworld) published an article about the aid convoy deaths in Gaza.

I was already working on a piece about BBC bias over other toxic articles from last week.

There is something truly rotten at the BBC. 1/14

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ To blame Israel for the deaths the BBC Verify piece relies heavily on a Gazan journalist Mahmoud Awadeyah who tells the BBC that the Israelis fired at the civilians.

But Awadeyah works for Tasnim News which is tied to the Iranian IRGC - Iran's special armed forces. 2/14 Image

The @washingtonpost ran an article about the journalists killed during the Hamas conflict.

My own research suggests whoever put it together engaged in deception

The end result is that the WP lies to its readers and spread raw Hamas propaganda 1/9

Thread
⬇️⬇️ The WP ran its article about 78 Gaza journalists who it holds up as heroes.

1. It used the list provided by @pressfreedom
2. It chose seven journalists to profile
3. It searched their social media.

But I did my own research on this a month ago so know the WP is lying . 2/9

You must have seen Doctor Ghassan Abu-Sittah.

1. Held up as a hero surgeon
2. Used as a key witness against Israeli actions in Gaza.
3. He has been on @SkyNews , @CNN , @BBCWorld , @LBC etc etc

The big question is why? Does nobody do any background research?

Thread ⬇️⬇️ First stop Oct 17. The night an Islamic Jihad rocket hit the Baptist Hospital.

Abu Sittah said he was there & called it a Israeli war crime.He also said as he moved from the op theatre to the emergency dept he saw bodies of children piled up. How? Where?

Exclusive: Hamas propaganda channels claim Israel is targeting journalists.

I have just published a new report showing that the entire story is an unsupportable lie.

Everyone running this story is pushing a modern day antisemitic conspiracy.

THREAD
⬇️⬇️⬇️ There are two lists one contains about 110 names. The other about 70.

Using every OSINT tools I could find, I managed to find 93% of these people online.

And the report shows that almost none are journalists - and journalism had nothing to do with their death.
