The 'journalist' (sic) involved threw accusations of 'inciting hatred' and 'attacking journalists when the facts don't agree with your worldview', contacted the employer of the critic (Ashok Kumar), then the graun got involved with a reporter also contacting the employer and claiming he: 'targeted journalists of colour in a sustained campaign' and was 'involved in incitement'. Which is ironic given that Kumar (as the name suggests) is also 'of colour', not that that should make a difference to the ability of the public to factually criticise the work/propaganda of journalists.

What a joke,

The Guardian journalist @manisha_bot, who authored the “investigation” into Israel’s bombing of Al Ahli Hospital killing 471 Palestinians which shamefully concludes that Palestinians were responsible, is now attacking me for dismantling her sham investigation in the thread 🧵 below

She needs to be sacked immediately and the Guardian need to issue an apology and a retraction:

Attacking journalists when the fact don't agree with your worldview and demanding the facts be bent to suit your politics - shameful that your employee is doing this, reflects badly on your institution @BirkbeckUoL @bbkpsychosocial @BirkbeckLibrary @birkbeck_arts @BBKPhilosophy ]

Also, retweeting yourself over and over again and tagging the librarians in my university is bizarre behaviour. How is this person allowed to run investigations?

Notice how she doesn’t refute a single claim I make, locks her post, finds a post of mine from a year ago, and tags my employer.

Just admit you’re a charlatan, you did a sham investigation and helped give israel a license to destroy every hospital in Gaza and now Lebanon.

I honestly don’t know how these people sleep at night.

She’s doubling down. This is bordering on liable. “Makes a sport of inciting hatred against journalists” - journalists aren’t a protected class. I have no such history, but for propagandists masquerading as journalists to defend genocide, no amount of hatred is enough

Impressive verbal gymnastics here to defend the actions of an academic who makes a sport of inciting hatred against journalists and has a history of doing so. Asking for a retraction because you don't like the facts isn't "disagreement", don't be daft, Solomon.

[replying to] Solomon Hughes @SolHughesWriter
Really bad behaviour for a Guardian journalist to try persuade a university to 'punish' as academic who disagrees with them - I'm a former Birkbeck Librarian, so I feel fairly sure the staff would treat this attempt with the contempt it deserves. ]

The real victim here aren’t the 500 murdered Palestinians but @manisha_bot

Meanwhile, this is the result - incitement to online harrassment of journalists, threats, and defamation: [image of rando twitter users insulting her] ]

Important to point out that I don’t mention her or any journalist by name in the entire thread

noah @additionaltext
that thread doesn't even mention this person's name lol

I’ve filed a complaint with the Guardian Ombudsman. Simply put, this reporter fabricated a story, then when i called into question that investigation, she framed it as “an attack” and attempted to get me sanctioned by my employer

Since posting this yesterday, friends and former colleagues of the journalist responsible for this fraudulent investigation have written to me to say she expressed serious doubts about the veracity of the investigation weeks and months after it’s publication. If the @guardian would like to speak to them please send me a DM and I will send you their contacts

🧵 Manisha Ganguly has a history of fraudulent reporting. The Guardian was fully aware of this yet still assigned her to lead the investigation into the Al Ahli Bombing:

The Guardian reporter Manisha Ganguly, who was the lead author of the now discredited report into Israel’s bombing of the Ah Ahli Hospital, has a well documented history of misreporting and shoddy investigations.
In 2017, she published “a scoop” in Guardian that was immediately refuted by experts. The article is now simply under the byline “Guardian Staff”. Her name was wiped from record after dozens of experts and academics signed on to Professor Zeynep Tufekci’s detailed letter outlining why the “investigation” was fraudulent

Shocking behaviour from The Guardian
My employer was just contacted by a reporter. It claims that I “targeted journalists of colour in a sustained campaign” and that I was “involved in incitement” for my thread below. This is outrageous from The @guardian and comes after The Guardian lead author of the fallacious Al Ahli Hospital bombing investigation contacted my employer because I dared to question that report.
In my original thread I never named the lead investigator of the flawed report and not a single one of my claims about The Guardian’s misreporting have been contested by them or anyone at the paper. They’re just targeting me.

The Guardian (@guardian) must respond to this targeted and abusive behaviour. As well as address the original false investigation on the Al Ahli Hospital Bombing. They must retract and apologise to the people of Palestine.

Amused that someone born and raised into the racially supremacist Brahmin caste in India accusing someone from a lower caste of attacking them for their colour. The global south elites arriving in london and ventriloquising a new found identity as a “journalist of colour” to author fabricated stories blaming Palestinians for their own murder. That’s actual racism.
