Sky News Attributes ‘Vengeance’ to Israel’s Gaza Operation
.@AliBunkallSKY signs off by saying "Whenever the end does come, it's hard to imagine what will be left of Gaza, because I saw what vengeance looks like – almost total destruction."

The New York Times Gets the Math Wrong on Gaza Hostages
Do the math, @nytimes. 32 dead out of all the hostages who were captured by Hamas does not equal a fifth.
Your briefing fails to inform readers that some 240 hostages overall were kidnapped on Oct. 7.https://t.co/DKbVixTV5K pic.twitter.com/wveY1qAgvH

Newsweek Refers to Hamas’ October 7 Atrocities as “Alleged”
Mass atrocities were "allegedly committed" by Hamas on Oct. 7 says @Newsweek.
Aren't we well past that already, @ShaolinTom? How much more video evidence filmed by the actual perpetrators do you need?https://t.co/88M29toFGL pic.twitter.com/7Dio728EfL

Reuters’ Historical Revisionism Blames Israel’s Creation For October 7
Absolutely shameful. @Reuters shoehorns over 75 years of history into one inaccurate and decontextualized sentence to blame Israel’s creation for all wars in the Middle East and even Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror rampage.https://t.co/pghpseUz6B pic.twitter.com/Y94fHxEey5

Associated Press Blames Argument, Not Pro-Palestinian Attacker, for Jewish Student’s Hospitalization
Actually, @AP, we think you'll find the pro-Palestinian attacker rather than the argument over the Mideast conflict was responsible for hospitalizing the Jewish student.https://t.co/iqo5AazeR0 pic.twitter.com/hoSjvS2Z5B

The Times of London Sanitizes Arch-Terrorist Marwan Barghouti
No, @thetimes, Marwan Barghouti is not a “political prisoner.” He was convicted for the murder of five innocent civilians in three terrorist attacks.
Writing a puff piece portraying him as a Palestinian Nelson Mandela is insultingly premature.https://t.co/HMxZYI2SF5 pic.twitter.com/EXT0XOtMps

Associated Press Implies Second Intifada Terrorism Was Confined Only to West Bank
Perhaps @AP, you didn’t mean it to sound like Palestinian terrorism was confined to only the West Bank during the Second Intifada but this paragraph is open to misinterpretation.
Please clarify—terror happened everywhere in Israel. https://t.co/lknwulPNCs pic.twitter.com/X5OyDJ5UNW
