HonestReporting Calls Out the Claim That Israelis Are Colonizers
To lump these two different issues together is ridiculous. Indigenous people can't be colonizers, Israel is literally where Jews are from.
Palestine wasn't an independent & sovereign state pre-1948. Are you planning on bringing the British back to rule again? https://t.co/SqEv0WmZdQ

HonestReporting Responds to BBC Apology for Spreading Blood Libel Against Israeli Soldiers
It didn't just fall "below impartiality standards" – it was a blood libel.
Even while admitting it was wrong, @BBCNews won't take any further action beyond an apology. Until the BBC deals with its institutional anti-Israel bias, this will keep happening again and again. https://t.co/kgRC6PWgcx

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan Makes a False Moral Equivalence Between Israel & Iran
This is a sickening false equivalence. You're comparing an accidental death to a woman who was literally beaten to death for not wearing a hijab correctly. https://t.co/gSAzS08guH

UPI Describes Gaza Riots as “Protests”
What's with the subtle terminology here, @UPI?
We'd call the use of explosive devices, setting tires on fire, attempting to break through the security barrier, and opening fire at the IDF more than a "demonstration." pic.twitter.com/c16hqS5AzI

HonestReporting Explains How Israel “Made the Desert Bloom”
Yes, Israel made the desert bloom, and no, that's not a racist trope.
We'll explain… pic.twitter.com/wFRCyhpq9f

BBC Misrepresents Eritrean Clashes in Tel Aviv
A riot was sparked when rival groups of Eritrean asylum seekers fought each other on the streets of Tel Aviv.
But that doesn't fit with @BBCWorld's false framing of Israel as a racist state. So @YolandeKnell twists the narrative to turn the Israeli police into the aggressors. https://t.co/AmU8EieCbj pic.twitter.com/7kY260zKKd

The Times Misidentifies Tel Aviv as the Capital of Israel
No, @thetimes, Israel’s capital is Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv.@AnshelPfeffer, please correct the error.https://t.co/fSHtb8Czhz pic.twitter.com/XibQ9kFUho

HonestReporting Adds Context on Aya Khatib’s Prison Sentence
You seem to be missing the bit where she took money earmarked for needy families and diverted it to Hamas so they could build tunnels for their operatives.
Working for a terror organization will get you time in prison.https://t.co/BcNF2ZM2Ml https://t.co/L9p9lAQYyy

AP Fails to Outright Call Mahmoud Abbas’ Holocaust Denial Comments Antisemitic
No @AP, these are not "accusations" of antisemitism. Mahmoud Abbas justified the mass extermination of Jews during the Holocaust.
That IS antisemitic.
No other media outlets had an issue calling his remarks antisemitic. Just you. Why is that?https://t.co/z77qV09ISq pic.twitter.com/YBbuKVLQ3F

BBC Headline Leaves Out Vital Context on Palestinian Deaths
This @BBCWorld headline is deceptive. 3 of these Palestinians were claimed as members of terror groups & 1 was killed while rioting along the Gaza border.
Short, snappy headlines may be great for clicks, but not so great for facts.https://t.co/SM5kOmWkdo pic.twitter.com/Z5gNgQap2E

The New York Times Maligns Hebrew as Symbolizing “Far-Right Militarism”
Hey @nytimes, singling out and maligning the language of the world's only Jewish state (that's spoken across the political spectrum) is antisemitic. https://t.co/YkK4nPzxO4

Debunking Conspiracy Theory About Israeli Role in 9/11
This is insane. You believe al-Qaeda would work with Mossad? Antisemitic conspiracy theories never make sense.
This has all been debunked & attributed to overzealous responses by the FBI. Their names were cleared.https://t.co/s4a3zZuFdB https://t.co/JF2peLWtAT

HonestReporting Explains How Calls for an “Intifada” Are Calls for Terrorism
On the anniversary of the start of the second Intifada, we unpack why phrases like "globalize the Intifada" or "long live the Intifada" are not progressive chants but rather a call for terrorism. pic.twitter.com/VtNWQwsysn

HonestReporting Provides Context on Ahmad Manasra’s Imprisonment
This Palestinian was arrested because he took part in the stabbing of a 13-year-old Israeli. (People make their choices).
Ahmad himself said that he “went there to stab Jews.”
Quds don't do news, they do Hamas-backed propaganda. https://t.co/zTmqSX9aFv
