Very fortunate to have the @Guardian's long read do an in-depth look at my work on Islamophobia in sections of the British media.

- This is an Israeli minister...unhinged..Starmer’s Britain lowers voting age to 16 to pander to Muslim voters. What’s next, adopting Islamist child marriages at 12?
- By "limited ground invasion", do they mean Israel is planning to illegally invade another sovereign nation?BREAKING: Israel is planning a limited ground operation into Lebanon that could begin imminently, sources have told Sky's US partner network NBC News Sky's @DominicWaghorn reports.

00:00 - Always interesting to see the Israeli flag on far-right anti-Muslim marches🚨🚨LONDON NOW 🏴🇬🇧🇮🇱: This is what we want to see in England! ❌ No ugly Palestinian flag. This is one of the most PATRIOTIC events this year. 🫡 And it’s beautiful to behold! This is the work of @TRobinsonNewEra.
- Initial BBC headline reporting facts of what happened Later changed to Israeli narrative It's relentless Ht @kennardmatt
- Baroness Foster falsely accused a Muslim student, Ms Gorgianehon, of antisemitism over an octopus mascot on University Challenge (note: the others weren't accused) Foster tried to get Gorgianehon expelled from Oxford She's now been forced to pay *significant compensation* Good
Rahman Lowe secure significant compensation from Baroness (@jfoster2019) who falsely accused University Challenge student of antisemitism over Blue Octopus mascot @BBCNews. Great work from our @ZillRah7 and Zac Sammour of @11KBW bit.ly/439rUib - This is very poor from the BBC. Why have Palestinians "died" but Israelis were "killed". This wording matters.More than 500 people have died in Gaza after Israel launched massive retaliatory air strikes, according to Gaza's health ministry More than 700 people have been killed in Israel since Hamas launched its attacks on Saturday Follow the latest ⬇️
- The Editor of the Jewish Chronicle has tried to get away with secretly deleting his misleading post, without an apology and without acknowledging his mistake But screenshots exist 👇🏾
This is a Shia religious procession for Imam Husayn on Ashura day in 2021. This is not from 2023, is not a political protest, and has nothing to do with Israel or Gaza Not sure why the editor of the UK’s Jewish Chronicle seems so obsessed with fear-mongering about Muslims. - The BBC finally acknowledges it misled viewers when it used a video showing fans from Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv attacking people on the street, whilst implying Israeli fans were the victims in the video bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedbac…
- The Home Secretary is treading on dangerous ground here. A peaceful demonstration is being slurred as "an intimidating mob" and a chant heard at the rally is being mischaracterised. This is not okay. Thread.Last weekend an intimidating mob marched through London chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” - a slogan that is widely understood as a demand for the destruction of Israel. Attempts to pretend otherwise are disingenuous. 1/3
- Always good to see the cranks at the Jewish Chronicle show their true colours
- Astonishing front page 8 Israeli soldiers' deaths is a headline, whilst an Israeli strike on a school for orphans in Gaza City and Israel's recent killing of 1400 in Lebanon are ignored Some lives matter more for newspapers like The Times aljazeera.com/program/newsfe…
- Just imagine a headline: Hamas bomb on bustling Israeli cafe killed an Israeli soldier - but dozens more people were killed. It would never happen. And there's a reasonIsrael's strike on bustling Gaza cafe killed a Hamas operative - but dozens more people were killed bbc.in/44iGlTy
- Palestinian restaurant cooks 600 meals for Afghan refugees arriving in UK after fleeing Taliban
