As the world’s attention continues to be focused on the war between Israel and Hamas, mainstream media have relied on people on the ground in both Israel and Gaza as vital sources of information or eyewitness accounts. Dunia Abu Rahma, a 22-year-old architecture student from Gaza, has appeared in recent days on both CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and NBC News to tell her story. Abu Rahma told the veteran CNN reporter Anderson Cooper, “All I want them to know that there are civilians, people who wish to live a normal, peaceful life, to feel safe, because we are human, and...

A CNN team did not let the hot summer weather in Florida get in its way of tracking down a doctor accused of spreading misinformation about COVID-19. A segment that aired Wednesday night showed all the steps taken to secure an interview with Joseph Mercola, who the New York Times identified as being among a group of "superspreaders of anti-vaccine content" with his online posts, citing researchers and regulators who have scrutinized the information the doctor has shared with his followers.

Ukraine's Constitutional Court has upheld a law that equates communism to Nazism and bans the dissemination of its symbols, a law that has prompted angry protests from Moscow. In the July 16 ruling published on its website, the court said the "communist and Nazi regimes" used similar methods of "implementing repressive state policies." The legislation was passed by Ukrainian lawmakers in May 2015. That law paved the way for the removal of all communist monuments not related to World War II and renaming public places and landmarks bearing Soviet names. Since then, dozens of statues, plaques, and other monuments --...

The subject is, that infamous denounced by so many CBS prog. Which refused to interview the  victims, those real Christians that fear to speak out against Islamic apartheid oppressing them, for threats of retaliation, but instead preferred to speak to propagandists who are mouthpieces for Palestinian Islamic authority to bash Israel. --- ANOTHER NAIL IN JUDEO-COMMUNISM'S COFFIN, THANK YOU JESUS/GOD: On April 22, Bob Simon and the...

I first caught wind of this story from our good friend Fausta, and it seems like a suitably silly note to help wrap up an already strange and unusual week. We’ve got a brand spanking new, rootin’ tootin’ study, fresh off the press from a distinguished group of scientists. (And I can tell they were scientists because I checked, and most of them were wearing white lab coats.) In it, we find what we already suspected about the party that hates science, clings to their guns and their God, and disapproves of Barack Obama not because of his damaging policies,...

In the history of the cinema, the German director Veit Harlan occupies an especially ignominious position. It is his name that is attached to “Jew Süss,” perhaps the most notoriously anti-Semitic movie ever made, a box office success in Nazi Germany in 1940 that was so effective that it was made required viewing for all members of the SS. But what motivated Harlan to write and direct such a film? Was he a Nazi true believer, an opportunistic careerist or just a filmmaker too fearful of retribution to say no to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda chief? Those are some...

Time: if you oppose illegal immigration, you might be a Nazi, or a Klansman, or maybe even a member of the Minutemen. And to think Kaus thought the media was going to line up with the Senate against the House. You’re too young to be so cynical, Mickey. A quick check of the Time archives reveals no mentions whatsoever of “MEChA,” let alone the fact that the lieutenant governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles once belonged to the organization. If you can find any, let me know and I’ll update here. Meanwhile, it’s a very special edition...

MEMRI: Saudi TV: Jews concentrated in Israel to make it easier to kill them Today's clips include a June 19, 2005 interview on Al-Majd TV with UAE professor Mustafa Muslim, in which he discusses the subject of "the war between us and the Jews is a religious war." In another clip from June 17, 2005, which also aired on Al-Majd TV, Saudi cleric Dr. Al-'Aziz Al-Fawzan suggests that there is a connection between women driving and women being raped. *Clip #734 - UAE Professor Mustafa Muslim Claims Allah Has Gathered the Jews in Israel to Make it Easier for Muslims...

The folks at pleasevote.com are showing another "even-handed" treatment of the election cycle. A drawing of President Bush sitting in a blood splattered shirt while eating a child will not only be used by the group on their own web-site but will also appear on the back cover of The Nation magazine on the July 5th issue. Richard Serra is the artist, and Serra was once praised by First Lady Laura Bush for a piece in a Texas museum. Those who have seen it call the new Serra piece simply "demonizing" and "disgusting"... It is my opinion that the middle...

BERLIN (AP) Leni Riefenstahl, best known for her Nazi-era propaganda films, has died at age 101, a German magazine reports, quoting a long-time friend.

A few days ago, an editorial cartoon appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer that made lovers of truth blink and gasp. The cartoon, by Tony Auth, showed Palestinian Arabs fenced in by a giant Star of David. The outcry (essentially, no terrorism, no fence) came by way of numerous letters to the editor, but an eye-popping response appeared in David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com. In an article titled "Nazi Imagery Goes Mainstream", authors Ricki Hollander and Cynthia Lttleman prove that there is indeed nothing new under the yellow sun of journalism. One frame in this article shows Auth's 2003 rendition of Arabs trapped...
