Caught in the Act. WATCH Gaza Mother’s Fake Injury Video: Shocking Anti-Israel Scam Exposed A Gaza mother’s Instagram Reel, using a filter to fake injuries on her children while begging for donations, has exposed tactics to spread anti-Israel propaganda. Gazan mothers filtered instagram post. Photo: Screenshot from video) A viral Instagram Reel posted by @VividProwess revealed a Gaza mother soliciting donations by displaying her children with apparent facial injuries, only for the wounds to vanish when a child raised his arm, exposing the use of a digital filter. The video, viewed over 1.2 million times, shows the mother pleading for...

The accusation that Israel is committing a “genocide” in Gaza has become pervasive on the Left, and particularly in academia. I think that the accusation is absurd, so much so that until now I haven’t thought it worthy of a response. However, the accusation has recently arrived on my own website. In the comment thread on the prior post, one of the commenters (regular readers can guess who) has leveled against President Trump the charge that he “is sending weapons to Israel for the genocide in Gaza.” Really? It’s time for a response. In my opinion, what’s going on in...

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem accused the British newspaper of spreading Hamas propaganda. JNS Staff. (Aug. 24, 2025 / JNS) The Israeli Foreign Ministry called out the Daily Mirror British tabloid on Sunday after it ran a front-page photo of a seemingly emaciated child who suffers from a rare genetic disorder that disrupts the absorption of essential nutrients under the headline, “Stop Starving Gaza’s Kids.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein accused the paper of manipulation by concealing this context from its readers on its Saturday cover. “@DailyMirror stop spreading Hamas propaganda!” the spokesman wrote on X. The “Daily Mirror” front...

Rinse and Repeat: Another Gaza Famine Lie Goes Viral. Another Image that Lied On 23 July, the tragic _a href="https://x.com/Daily_Express/status/1947965041438761437">image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq shook the world. Headlines told a story of a boy being forcibly starved in a Gaza famine. My research quickly exposed that story as a lie. Muhammad had cerebral palsy, had been sick since birth, and his siblings were healthy. Barely a week later, legacy media played the same trick again – this time with a young girl called Maryam. We are told Maryam was evidence of Gaza’s ‘catastrophic hunger crisis’: Embarrassingly, the quoted doctors...

Rolene Marks ✡️🎗️🇮🇱 @RoleMarks: THIS!! Tucker Qatarlson has to bring in charlatans because interviewing someone like @shadikhalloul does not fit his narrative of demonising Israel. Quote: Shadi khalloul שאדי ח'לול @shadikhalloul · Aug 12, 2026. Tucker, I am an indigenous Christian living in Israel. The woman you interviewed is not.

A new investigation raises serious allegations against Anas Zayed Patia, a Gazan photographer accused of staging suffering scenes to serve Hamas propaganda. A recent investigation by the German newspaper Bild has raised concerns about Gazan photographer Anas Zayed Patia, alleging that he was involved in staging humanitarian scenes used in pro-Hamas media narratives. Patia, whose work has appeared in various international newspapers and news agencies, is accused of selectively curating images to highlight suffering in Gaza in a way that may distort context and serve political messaging against Israel. One widely circulated image captured by Patia shows a group of...

BAPTISTS ZIONIST PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE BZPAC DIRECTIVE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 22, 2025 A Baptist-Zionist Rebuttal to the Vatican’s Anti-Israel Rhetoric The recent statements from Pope Leo XIV and the Vatican accusing Israel of “barbarity” and “indiscriminate force” are not only factually baseless—they are morally outrageous and theologically dishonest. Once again, the Roman Catholic Church (RC)—with its long history of anti-Jewish persecution and theological corruption—has chosen to condemn Israel while remaining blind to the evil of Hamas. The strike on the Holy Family Church in Gaza, while tragic, was clearly unintentional—a product of the fog of war. There is no...

The Hunger Narrative “Israel is starving Gaza.” That’s the line. You’ve seen it splashed across headlines, painted on protest signs, shouted from international stages. The UN calls it a “man-made famine.” Celebrities post black squares with #LetGazaLive. Social media reels show crying children with empty bowls, overlaid with dramatic music and a single, pointed caption: Genocide by hunger. The accusation is explicit, and it’s powerful. What better way to cast Israel as a monster than to say it withholds food from children? No need to mention rockets, tunnels, or terrorists when you can show an empty plate and let the...

The New York Times admitted Tuesday that an emaciated Palestinian child it featured on the the front page suffered from “pre-existing health problems” that it had presented, inaccurately, as the result of starvation. There is an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza — the result of poor food distribution, not low supply, as Hamas and armed gangs loot aid convoys. Hamas also refuses to release Israeli hostages and end the war. As Breitbart News reported, the child, photographed by Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini of the Turkish Anadolu agency, had a muscular disorder. Few outlets that ran the photo disclosed that fact...

Michal Cotler-Wunsh @CotlerWunsh: There is NO genocide in Gaza. There is war - waged by genocidal terrorists for whom human tragedy is the strategy; who use own people as human shields/sacrifices; who use int’l ‘humanitarian aid’ & civilian infrastructure to construct hundreds of km of underground hell. A war that would be over on October 8 if the 251 human beings stolen & held in standing violation of law & morality - 4 of them since 2014 - were returned; & if Hamas war criminals were held to account & prevented from openly declared intent to perpetrate genocidal October 7...

First they came for the Alawites, then they came for the Christians. Now they are coming for the Druze.Ever since regime change in Syria last December, the country had not exactly offered safety to its minorities, despite President Ahmed al-Sheraa's (al-Julani) fine words that he is the head of all Syrians, not just Sunnis. Druze have been murdered in the town of Suweida, there has been massacre, mutilation and humiliation. In fact there are suspicions that Al-Julani’s own forces slaughtered the entire staff at Suweida’s hospital along with their patients and carried out extrajudicial executions. The international community has been...

When antisemitism became institutional, radical professors fanned the flames and colleagues stayed silent, I had no choice but to walk away. But I won’t stop fighting. Leaving my dream job wasn’t an easy choice, but Columbia’s latest scandal makes it crystal clear why I had to go. In texts released by the House Education and Workforce Committee, acting President Claire Shipman—then co-chair of the Board of Trustees—called the only vocal pro-Israel Jewish trustee “a mole.” She even suggested replacing her with “someone from the Middle East or who is Arab,” ignoring the Civil Rights Act that bans such discrimination. Worse,...

Who really had the power to protect Epstein across three states?The first time Jeffrey Epstein was locked up, it was in a private wing of the Palm Beach Stockade with unlocked doors and a ‘work release program’ (even though sex offenders were barred from participating in work release programs) that allowed him to keep an office outside the prison, then ‘work’ from his beachfront home, hire Sheriff’s Deputies as his private security, have them refer to him as a “client” and all the records of his visitors, who reportedly included minors used for sex, were then destroyed as part of...

Naim Qassem, the most senior Hezbollah leader after the assassination of Nasrallah and his successor Safieddine, has called for an unconditional ceasefire, apparently not contingent on a cessation of fighting in Gaza. The former deputy to Hassan Nasrallah and member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council announced on Tuesday night that the terror group was “agreeing to a ceasefire without preconditions. First, a ceasefire achieved through diplomatic means, and then we will discuss all the details.” Experts believe that the announcement was issued at the behest of Iran and was prompted by the terror proxy’s military weakness after repeated Israeli strikes and...

The doctor overseeing the recovery of four Israeli hostages rescued from the Gaza Strip said Monday that they were beaten regularly during their captivity by the Hamas terror group. Dr. Itai Pessach of Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv told CNN that the hostages suffered almost daily abuse and that their time in captivity was “a harsh, harsh experience.” “Every hour, both physical, mental, and other types, and that is something that is beyond comprehension,” Pessach said. Noa Argamani, Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan, and Andrey Kozlov were rescued on Saturday from eight months of Hamas captivity in Gaza in...

In this Friday, Oct. 26, 2018 file photo, released by Oman News Agency, Oman's Sultan Qaboos, left, receives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Muscat, Oman. (Oman News Agency via AP, File) The “last decade,” notes James Sinkinson in a perceptive article, has seen a “sea change” in Israel’s ties with “key Arab states.” And that last decade is also the one in which Benjamin Netanyahu (again, after a stint in the 1990s) has been Israel’s prime minister — specifically since March 2009.True, conditions for enhanced Arab-Israeli ties have been propitious — particularly the behavior of regional bully Iran, a...

Reclaiming ownership of indigenous lands - and governing those outside the process of history. With some degree of the annexation of Judea and Samaria imminent in the next few months in Israel, recent statements by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (who oversees a massive kleptocratic terrorist regime that endorses a massive Pay-for-Slay program that provides Palestinian suicide bombers, terrorist murderers, and their families with lifelong financial security), sound more like conceptual inanities than they do reasoned disagreements by a serious politician. Abbas said last week that he was terminating all agreements with Israel and the United States as a result...

I first met Qassem four years ago, at the height of the European refugee crisis. The BBC had sent me to capture the stories of Mideast migrants, thousands of whom would daily wash ashore on the Greek isles. He was around 15, malnourished and clearly traumatized. As we sat together in a cabin at a ­migrant camp on the island of Lesbos, his hunched body rocked backward and forward. His marginal life amounted to a speck of dust amid the geopolitical earthquakes that were remaking the region at the time. Yet the story he told opened a window onto the...
