Dear @AP, why do you present Israel “targeting a tunnel network used by Hamas” and deaths “in densely populated areas” as if they are two separate things? Hamas deliberately built its military tunnel network within and beneath densely populated areas. These things are related.

@IFJGlobal @guardian @thejournal_ie @washingtonpost Hassan Abu Warda was just the owner and director of Barq Gaza news agency, according to CPJ, IFJ, and The Guardian. Yet in early August, Palestinian Islamic Jihad announced that he was in its Northern Brigade's Sniper Unit.

Australia's @abcnews reports criticism of the media for dropping the ball on “blatant antisemitism” after Oct. 7 - then illustrates the problem by uncritically citing a Gaza death toll from “Palestinian health authorities,” with no mention of Hamas or how many of those killed

Motaz Azaiza celebrated Hamas' terrorist invasion on October 7. That's right. At the same time that Israeli children were being killed, kidnapped, and hiding for their lives, Azaiza was celebrating it. This is who Ms. Rachel chose to introduce to your children. x.com/RollingStone/s…

.@Macklemore was removed from @edsheeran's Loop tour after turning his opening sets into pro-Palestinian protests. Ed Sheeran’s response was in no way pro-Israel. He spoke about suffering on “both sides,” bringing people from “all backgrounds” together, and wanting his

The genocide charge against Israel has been repeated so often that repetition itself is being treated as proof. Holocaust Studies professor Norman JW Goda dismantles the accusation, arguing that genocide has been untethered from its legal definition, evidence has been

When Macklemore was dropped from upcoming Ed Sheeran shows, much of the media framed it as punishment for supporting Palestinians. But Robert Kraft explicitly cited Macklemore’s “history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery” and said Palestinian advocacy was not the issue. By

Henry Ford didn’t just build cars. He helped mass-produce antisemitic conspiracy theories. For years, he used his newspaper to spread vicious anti-Jewish propaganda, earning the admiration of Hitler and even a medal from Nazi Germany. Now, his historic Michigan home is preparing

The New York Times has an uncanny talent for finding Israelis who tell it exactly what it wants to hear. From B’Tselem’s Yuli Novak to a familiar lineup of activists, academics and former officials, the pattern is clear: find an Israeli who validates the Times’ bleakest framing,

7/ So what does the report actually prove? Not an Israeli “elimination project.” It proves how B’Tselem builds its case: ⚠️ Downplay Israel’s security needs. ⚠️ Remove Palestinian responsibility and agency. ⚠️ Assign the most sinister possible motive to Israeli actions.

3/ Now to the report itself. B’Tselem takes actions by the Israeli government, IDF and individual Israelis and presents them as pieces of one deliberate plan to “eliminate” the Palestinian collective. The problem? To make that theory work, it has to minimize the security

4/ Take checkpoints, gates, and the security barrier. B’Tselem presents them primarily as tools designed to obstruct Palestinian movement. What gets minimized? The suicide bombings, shootings and terror attacks that led Israel to build and maintain many of those measures in

5/ The same trick is used with casualty figures. B’Tselem highlights more than 1,000 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since Oct. 7, creating the impression of indiscriminate Israeli violence. But HonestReporting’s own analysis from December 2025 found that nearly half of

1/ B’Tselem wants you to believe Israel is carrying out an “elimination project” in the West Bank aimed at dismantling Palestinian collective life. That is an extraordinary accusation. But once you look at how the report is constructed, the pattern is obvious: Strip away the

2/ First, some context about B’Tselem. It presents itself internationally as a neutral “human rights organization.” In practice, it has become one of Israel’s most aggressive political advocacy groups. Recent examples include: ⚠️ Accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. ⚠️

PIJ just published martyr posters for two relatives, including 17-year-old Muhammad Khair Al-Najjar. He served in the same unit as his family member, 16-year-old Abdul Hadi Abdullah Al-Najjar. This is part of a broader trend. Of 23 Palestinian child soldiers identified since

.@RSF_en lists Shadi Al-Salfti simply as a freelance photojournalist killed during the war. @GettyImages has likewise published @anadoluagency photos identifying him as a journalist. But as first noted by @Aizenberg, Al-Salfti appears in a Hamas martyr video released Thursday

Hamas commemorated a military media "knight" this month — a photographer in military uniform who was wounded covering the 2018 Great March of Return riots and later died in the October 7 War. This is not an isolated case. Hamas has spent years recruiting and deploying trained

@Tony_Diver Hi Tony. Unlikely that Tel Aviv was astonished by anything, given that Israel's seat of government is its capital, Jerusalem. Hope you can fix this.
