The Guardian’s Op-Ed Lionizes Disturbed Self-Immolator
Aaron Bushnell openly justified the Hamas massacre at the Nova festival on Oct. 7 and said, "There are no innocent civilians in Israel."

Why would @nytimes legitimize the utterly ridiculous charge that Israeli settlers are "send[ing] boars to dig up Palestinian seedlings and fruit trees?"

Reuters Falsely Implies Israel Operating Against Gaza
The residents of the Gaza Strip have undoubtedly suffered greatly during this war.
But let's be clear, @Reuters – Israel's campaign is against Hamas. Not "against the coastal enclave" and not its civilians.https://t.co/FFqSNmCdIU pic.twitter.com/HGRBLoXFnO

Washington Post Legitimizes an Antisemite
If, @washingtonpost, you are going to quote Francesca Albanese's social media, how about also mentioning that she's had to apologize for antisemitic posts on her personal social media profile? And how she's also likened the Jewish state to Nazism. https://t.co/1psZijkZA7 pic.twitter.com/vsLnT81LuM

The Independent Commits a Capital Offense
"Tel Aviv" doesn't have international allies. Israel does. Or Jerusalem if you wish to refer to the capital of Israel.@Independent, stop using Tel Aviv as a synonym for Israel's capital city and please correct the error.https://t.co/9M4k7s5kX9 pic.twitter.com/TSjlqojqie

The New York Times Fails to Recognize Hypocrisy
Which country's representative does @nytimes choose to quote at the International Court of Justice, calling the Israeli blockade of Gaza "medieval?"

Sky News Guest Makes Moral Equivalence Between Israeli Hostages and Palestinian Prisoners
Amidst @MyriamFrancoisC's blame Israel for everything narrative & bizarre claim of a realistic Hamas ceasefire offer, she refers to Palestinian terrorists in Israeli jails as "hostages."
Please stop this moral equivalence between those prisoners & Israelis kidnapped by Hamas. https://t.co/pHvxRNz54J
