Hmm. @TheGreenParty member wants Hamas to be legal here. At a time when Jews are 10 times more likely to be victims of racist crime than anyone else. And she “knows why” they kill Jews! And she’s proposing that Zionism is racism! Clearly a future leader.

This is a deeply troubling example of the abandonment of basic journalistic standards. What @SkyNews appears to be doing here is constructing a narrative that places sole blame on the IDF, while disregarding critical and verified context. As was clearly communicated to media outlets this past week, the child in question was used as a human shield by his father who is a known Hamas terrorist. We categorically reject any allegation of wrongdoing toward the child. He was transferred safely to his family through the International Committee of the Red Cross. The decision to film and broadcast this segment, without due diligence, without balance, and relying on highly questionable testimony, including that of a doctor whose claims do not withstand scrutiny and a father linked to Hamas, is not journalism. It is narrative-building. This is not news. It falls far short of the standards expected of a serious media organisation and should be called out in the strongest possible terms.

Just an ordinary lad from Sheffield is our @MothinAli. Don’t know why anyone would doubt his motivations.
