No, ABC News, it's not a "prisoner exchange," and we can guarantee that's not what Israeli officials said.

It's an exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages. They aren't the same.

Get it right.

Hey, @news.sky.com, if you are going to broadcast a live feed as President Trump enters the Knesset, you might want to change the location caption from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

"Senior militant." "Popular Palestinian political figure."

@washingtonpost.com can't see the contradiction.

Marwan Barghouti is a convicted terrorist responsible for the murders of innocent civilians.

No, BBC News, it's not a "hostage exchange."

One side are Israeli hostages, the other are Palestinian prisoners.

If you can't tell the difference, you shouldn't call yourselves journalists.

"Leading politicians."

Strange description for members of terrorist groups involved in the murder of Israelis, don't you think, @thetimes.com?

We'll tell you how the media shapes the narrative.

By publishing headlines like this, where "genocide" appears as a fact rather than a disputed claim.

@France24.com answering its own question.

DISGUSTING: If America's maximum security jails were emptied of their most notorious convicts, would @nytimes.com be interviewing family members celebrating their release?

Probably not.

But families of Palestinian prisoners who murdered Jews? No problem for The New York Times. 🤢

No, @WSJ.com, the Bibas family did not simply "die in captivity."

Four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir were murdered in cold blood. Terrorists killed them with their bare hands.

Stop whitewashing Hamas brutality.

That @theguardian.com would open this story with the boycotting of a kosher restaurant in Washington speaks volumes:

▪️About the inherent antisemitism behind the boycott movement.
▪️And The Guardian's wilful blindness to overlook it.

Hamas’ strategy has always been to exploit civilian areas, using them as cover for terrorism. Yet instead of exposing that, the media shows the wreckage, stripped of context, history, and often any mention of Hamas.
