🚨 DOUBLE STANDARDS: Watch @SkyYaldaHakim's hostile interview with former IDF spokesperson @jconricus and then see how she treats antisemitic UN special rapporteur @FranceskAlbs with kid gloves. @SkyNews doesn't even make any effort to disguise its anti-Israel bias.
1/2 🧵 Compare these interviews, tweeted in the same thread by @SkyNews’ Yalda Hakim. Jonathan is spoken over, interrupted, dismissed. Everything is immediately countered and rejected. Yalda is exasperated, driven by emotion, and clearly influenced by her own personal opinions.
If the Lebanese government and army won’t disarm Hezbollah, Israel will. The IDF has every right to act under the ceasefire—and Hezbollah’s rearmament makes them a legitimate target. Beirut can choose to enforce the deal, or watch Israel do it for them.
Had this war been fought only in the media, Hamas would have won it by a margin. I’m saddened to see Hamas getting away with murder: refusing to release the hostages, refusing to surrender and actively denying aid from the civilian population. Instead, many countries blame…
I’m not sure that the move on Deir Al Balah will be enough to push Hamas to agree to a deal. But Israel has agreed to additional Hamas conditions regarding @IDF deployment after cease fire for the first time.
Israel likely decided to begin conducting military operation in Deir al-Balah to pressure Hamas to accept a proposed deal that would see 10 living hostages set free, according to @jconricus.
Why is the @IDF operating in central Gaza Strip (Deir al Balah)? Because Israel wants a deal and is trying to impress upon the remaining Hamas leadership that if they don’t agree to a deal, Israel will launch the final big offensive in Gaza. Part of my @CNN interview…

This reports sheds light on the lazy, unprofessional, biased and sometimes outright terror-amplifying coverage of Israel by western media in this conflict. It doesn’t even cover the tip of the iceberg.
EXCLUSIVE: Study claims US news outlets served as 'megaphones' for Hamas in Gaza war Exclusive with @ncri_io for @FoxNews foxnews.com/media/study-cl…
This is rich, even for the Iranian regime. After having assisted Assad the dictator to butcher at least half a million Syrians (together with the Russian Air Force and Hezbollah and foreign mercenaries on the ground), the Iranians claim to stand with the Syrian people. Syria is…
Unfortunately, this was all too predictable. Which capital is next? The rabid Israeli regime knows no bounds and only grasps one language. The world, including the region, must unite to end its unhinged aggression. Iran supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of…
🎙️ @jconricus, Senior Fellow at @FDD and former International Spokesperson for the IDF, shared his experiences and strategies for countering false narratives defending Israel in the media in today's hostile climate.
📰 @jconricus and @AriellaNoveck shared insights on navigating today’s challenging media landscape, which is rife with antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric.
My perspective on recent events in Syria: Israel publicly committed to defend the Druze months ago and has now been forced to deliver on that pledge. Having been caught a bit off-guard, Israel has escalated strikes to drive the message home in Damascus. Unlike the US and France,…
Lebanon should have thought of that 77 years ago and ever since. By participating in the pan-Arab scheme of oppression of their fellow Arabs through @UNRWA, Lebanon has created a tremendous problem for itself.
Why should Lebanon upset its demographic balance, further reduce Christian, Druse, and Shi'a power, and participate in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians? If the Palestinians in Lebanon are given citizenship, who guarantees that Israel won't send Lebanon more Palestinians?
.@UNRWA, a major obstacle to peace in the Middle East
Amid recent positive developments in Lebanon, one issue hasn't received due attention: hundreds of thousands of Palestinian so-called refugees, denied basic rights and kept in a state of permanent refugeedom by UNRWA and the Lebanese state, @jconricus tells @laura_i24
אשריך ירון שאתה ואשתך חינכתם דור חדש של לוחמים ישראלים. אני מאחל שיימלא משימותיו בהצלחה רבה ויחזור הביתה אל חיק המשפחה בשלום.
Very few Special Rapporteurs at the @UN have been subjected to personal sanctions by the most important country in the world. If there was ever a justified case, @FranceskAlbs is it. She is a disgrace to her country, the @UN and a horrible example of hatred consuming her heart…
The Muslim Brotherhood, represented by Hamas in Gaza, is a threat to all Sunni Muslim states in the region. Eventually these states will have to choose between their own stability or the stubborn rejectionist claims of Palestinians.
Hamas being able to claim victory in Gaza is an eventuality whose reprecussions for regional stability worry Egypt & the Saudis, yet they're also aftaid to be seen as insufficiently supportive of Palestinians; sooner or later they would have to choose, @jconricus tells @laura_i24
If you care about media accuracy, take the time to read this analysis of @SkyNews reporting.
🧵Hi @SkyNews , we meet again. (@haaretzcom) I promise to get to you later in the thread, and thoroughly. Let me break down the despicable manipulation you’ve carried out by using an anonymous soldier who has likely endured months of the vile Hamas war in Gaza and is…
