Yoni Kempinski. Sep 25, 2025, 10:24 AM (GMT+3) At a joint press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron offered contrasting views on recent moves by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state. Asked if such recognition was “a gift to Hamas,” Trump replied: “Well, I think it honors Hamas and you can’t do that because of October 7th. You just can’t do that. But we want...

Why the Term "Fakestinians" Resonates More Than Ever Since the Genocidal-Islamist October 7th Terrorist MassacreSince the October 7th Hamas-led massacre—a genocidal, premeditated assault targeting Israeli civilians—the Palestinian narrative has been increasingly exposed as manipulative, deceptive, and rooted in distortion. The term “Fakestinians” has gained traction not as an attack on individual Arabs, but as a critique of a manufactured identity and a propaganda machine that fuels violence and global misinformation. Here's why: 1. Invented National Identity Rooted in Historical RevisionismThe majority of so-called “Palestinians” are descendants of relatively recent Arab immigrants who moved into the British Mandate of Palestine during...

The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses the Western left’s “obsession” with Israel and the Middle East. “Cowards like Albanese can jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon because Netanyahu has made Israel so unpopular,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “Australia has absolutely zero influence in the Middle East, none at all. “We have a much more obsessive discussion about the Middle East than we have about the South China Sea, or the Philippines or anything like that, because the obsession of the Western left with Israel is a part of its obsession with identity politics.”

Former President Donald Trump became the first major party presidential candidate to visit Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, venturing into the majority-Arab and predominantly Muslim town, which had once been hostile territory. Trump’s message there was simple: he is asking for the people’s vote, and he is promising peace in the Middle East. The former president received a raucous welcome inside a restaurant, with fans shouting: “The best president ever!” Journalists, following Trump, shouted questions. “What about the Muslim ban?” one yelled, referring to Trump’s travel ban on terror-prone states (which was never a Muslim ban, an idea he proposed on...

How the @NYTimes censors calls to violence (and actual violence) at anti-Israel protests The New York Times reported on the Gaza protests in Manhattan yesterday. The photo caption says, "Demonstrators blocked streets in Lower Manhattan to call for a cease-fire in Gaza on the first anniversary of the Hamas-led attacks on Israel." The "Cease Fire Now" sign is prominently highlighted as the main photo of the article. The New York Daily News also shows that same sign. But they show it as it was seen for most of the march - behind several other much larger banners that led the...

At a Philadelphia protest against the presidential debate between Kamal Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, 2024, protesters waved Hamas and PFLP flags, held a banner stating: “Amerika is the head of the snake,” and chanted, “Yahya Sinwar, you make us proud!” Protesters continued to laud Hamas’s Izz Al-din Al-Qassam Brigades and the Lion’s Den. They added: “Resistance is justified, when people are occupied.” The protest’s MC led the crowd in a chant: “U.S. imperialist – number one terrorist!” Participants chanted that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “war criminal,” and called for “Intifada, revolution,” while making a triangle...

France has expelled a "radical" imam who made "unacceptable remarks" about the country's flag, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has said. Mahjoub Mahjoubi appeared to call the French flag "satanic" in a video that went viral online earlier this week.

Daytona Beach Morning Journal, May 19, 1947, p. 2 Meet The ArabianazisBy Walter Winchell. For many months now the front pages of the world have- been crowded with the blow by blow description of a struggle which has finally reached the United Nations . . . The problem has been how to find a place under the warm Palestinian sun for the living skeletons who, from 1933, suffered the foul tortures of Hitler's fevered brain. Arrayed against this pitiful group of human beings is a wicked clique of men who, despite their hostility to the Allies, have been granted powerful...

anti-Zionism, antisemitism, BDS, Conflict history, Media Bias, The I/P conflictThe colourful Twitter history of PalestineSocial media sites such as Twitter portray a wonderful history of a state called Palestine – but first let us quickly remember the truth.The historical facts:For the Islamic world, the area of 19th century Southern Syria was a sparsely populated forgotten backwater with rival clans and nomadic tribes presenting a hazardous obstacle for every trip. The weakening of the occupying power (the Ottoman Empire) and growing global trade – resurrected European interest. It was Christian travellers recognising this area as their ‘Holy Land’ that put an...

Smotrich said Sunday: "There is no such thing as Palestinians because there is no such thing as a Palestinian people." Predictably, Old Joe Biden’s handlers and other Leftists are enraged.. on the wrong side of the truth... Kirby wisely didn’t say that Smotrich’s assertion was false, .. The European Union, meanwhile, was much angrier than Kirby, ..run. Despite the EU’s rage, what Smotrich said was actually correct. Smotrich said: "Who are the Palestinians? I am Palestinian." He noted that before the founding of the State of Israel, the Jews in the Holy Land were known as "Palestinians." Meanwhile, "the Palestinian...

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- A University of Idaho graduate student who is under investigation for suspected terrorism ties obtained unauthorized access to a campus lab containing radioactive material, court documents allege.

Americans for Justice in Palestine Action declares “millions of dollars from right-wing Zionist organizations” defeated anti-Israel candidates. (November 28, 2022 / JNS) You are not going to believe this: During the midterm elections, advocacy groups gave money—a lot of money—to candidates they thought would be good on the issues they care about. Shocking, right? The anti-Israel group Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) seems to think so. Last week, it touted a “groundbreaking report” that showed pro-Israel groups gave money to pro-Israel candidates. You will be equally shocked to learn that the report blames Jewish money, a reference...
