Good news :) We are honored to have been awarded the International Communication Association outstanding article award. Many thanks everyone, esp partnering factcheckers! w/ @antmarakis Axel Wisiorek @icahdq @BigDataSoc journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@grisbjoren @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ The assassination of Rabin is not a conspiracy theory, it is a well-recorded fact. As is the fact that Netanyahu called for Rabin's blood and Ben Gvir attacked Rabin's car. Recorded, objective facts are not up for debate.

@antmarakis @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ You’re spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories

How can people possibly argue that Jews have a right to return to Israel after 2,000 years of exile, But Palestinians don’t have a right to return to their homeland after only 70 years? Is there any way to explain this beyond just pure racism?

@Tweeeee57503 @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ This is my collection of sources, put in one place for easy linking. My 9 citations include books, interviews and news articles. It is easier to store on Medium than on other platforms due to censorship and ease of use. Hope that helps!

@antmarakis @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ Medium is not a source. Hope that helps!

@GalYamL @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ Obviously not ALL israelis put a bullet in his chest. I am not in favor of collective punishment. But the people calling for his head are now in power (Netanyahu and Ben Gvir) or hold a lot of sway in Israel (the ultra-orthodox faction). This is not acceptable.

@antmarakis @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ So Israelies murdered Rabin, not Igal Amir. Nice,that's soooo racist. Where are you from dear Antonio? With this logic you are to blame for every crime one the people from your nation commited

@AdiLiTamir @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ Netanyahu called for his death. And Ben Gvir attacked his car. And they are both in the government. You do not mourn him, you put people attacking him in power...

@antmarakis @anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ Israeli assassinated their own Pm Are you insane?? How dare you?? This is one of the saddest days of our history. We mourn him till this day, there is a memorial day for him. Any one who was old enough remembers where he was in those hours. How the F dare you!

@anaraintuitive @mike_j_o_ @alexshams_ During the Oslo Accords, Israelis (motivated by Netanyahu) assassinated their own Prime Minister when he was about to sign the deal. Arafat was already in support, making a lot of concessions to achieve peace. You are spreading misinformation. Sources: tinyurl.com/2y9tud7a

Yes if they had accepted negotiation offers like Oslo they wouldn’t be dealing with settlers at all. Oslo would have meant settlements disbanded. They rejected that. By refusing numerous peace offers, refusing to demarcate boundaries of their own state, refusing to end enmity, they have left themselves open for this lawless situation unfortunately. I hate what Israeli settlers do, but it would not be happening if Palestinians had made peace at any of the many junctures peace deals were offered

@juanmvsa You'll be pleased to know I am recruiting more gays 💃

@yoavgo @BotehBird As mentioned before I do not need alternatives at this stage. An article that says they discredit a piece of evidence SHOULD be able to describe their method. A few videos with circles around dots with no description gives me no information.

@antmarakis @BotehBird there are many pieces of evidence. it does a shitty job at discrediting one of them, does not provide an alternative explanation to what actually happened (if this is not the projectile that caused the blast, what is?) and it ignores all other evidence. this is bs.

omg this story is like the energizer bunny of bad journalism (this whole analysis is a ratchet job, but also, the piece does not suggest an alternative explanation on what DID happen, nor it touches the fact that hamas "failed to locate" any remains of the munition on site.)

@yoavgo Agreed

@antmarakis i was speaking of this specific case. it is just bad.

@_ZachFoster Excellent thread! And let's not forget how futile negotiations themselves have been, with ultra-orthodox Zionists assassinating their own PM when peace talks were going well (during the Oslo Accords). The opposition to the assassinated PM was Netanyahu... tinyurl.com/4srvr5nd

Why don't Palestinians embrace non-violent resistence? You've probably heard this question asked a lot over the past 2 weeks. A short response. A🧵.

@avivby @DR_ILL @YousefMunayyer The AJ video does not contain the IDF "operational systems" footage though.

@antmarakis @DR_ILL @YousefMunayyer Go to their feed. They posted a new one with the AJ footage because you all are less likely to doubt it.

Journalists should remember that Israel's first response after they killed their colleague Shireen Abu-Akleh was to say Palestinians shot her. This is part of a consistent Israeli military information damage control strategy in response to such events.

@avivby @DR_ILL @YousefMunayyer Isn't it suspicious they removed the video? Why would they remove it if it was proof they did not fire the rocket?

@DR_ILL @YousefMunayyer Take the fucking AJ footage

@yoavgo Not a problem, I am sure you are aware of the distinction, just added the bonus for the general public.

@antmarakis ah, of course. i didnt distinguish between the groups in this tweet because i thought the nuance will be lost on the audience.

If you want to aid palestinians against their oppressors, in addition to fighting israel, you should be fighting hamas. hamas is currently oppressing palestinians and hurting palestinian future. dont stand with hamas.

@GMJacobAagaard @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis Lol I just realized what you highlighted. The line doesn't mean what you think it means. It doesn't mean that Lebanon lost, it means that the Lebanese army didn't do anything... They were bought off for a few thousand dollars, that's why they didn't cover themselves in glory...

@antmarakis @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis Fuck off moron

1982: Sharon invades Lebanon to destroy the PLO. Thus Hizbollah was born. 2002: Arafat is crushed to end hopes of Palestinian state. Thus Hamas rose up. Now Israel is pulverising Gaza to destroy Hamas. [All such moves had full US support.] Any guesses of likely outcomes?

@GMJacobAagaard @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis Maybe read what you post? It literally says Lebanon sat out the rest of the war. You are linking the agreement with Ben Gurion that I mentioned. A few hundred Lebanese took some random land then immediately withdrew and Lebanon was out. Again, this was agreed with Ben Gurion!!

@GMJacobAagaard @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis You fail to provide proof. A basic wiki search: "[Ben gurion brokered an agreement] and kept Lebanon's army out of the War of Independence and the military Arab coalition". I call you a propagandist because you are one, you call me one because I called you out on your lies.

@antmarakis @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis You call me a propagandist and spew nonsense. Honestly, get a grip.

@GMJacobAagaard @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis Can you point to one source that points to Lebanon attacking?

@antmarakis @Sueme75994970 @yanisvaroufakis What should I call you, since you repeat something with total certainty that all sources I can find disagree with? You have the certainty of youth it seems.
