Three gay Israeli Defense Forces soldiers, in the Big Apple to celebrate Pride week, slammed the group Queers for Palestine for its “fake understanding of human rights.” The three soldiers, who want to meet “Jewish LGBTQ people who’ve been alienated due to the war,” sat down with the Post to reveal how they’ve navigated an increasingly hostile environment in their community. Shay Abergil, 34, a paratrooper reservist, says gay and lesbian Israelis now have a “complicated relationship” with the LGBTQ community outside Israel. “We always hear New York Pride being such a great and fun event, but then you have...

How much do the Mullahs care for the well-being of the Lebanese? While Hasan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, repeats in Beirut the threats of his puppet-masters in Tehran, who have described the massive destruction they are prepared to visit on the “Zionist entity,” many Lebanese, horrified at what they see as a march toward war with Israel, have been filling social media with both their anguished calls for peace, and with denunciations of Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that almost all Lebanese, save for the members of Hezbollah, do not want, for they remember what happened...

No facts can be allowed to disturb the blood libels against Israel. It’s now quite clear that there are simply no facts at all — none — that will alter the fixed narrative of lies, distortions and blood libels with which the liberal internationalist order is demonising and delegitimising Israel.The claim that Israel is starving the civilians of Gaza and causing an imminent famine has been pumped out incessantly since soon after the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war.In February, the United Nations said that more than a quarter of Gaza’s 2.3 million people were “estimated to be facing catastrophic levels...

Basic facts that don’t matter to the media The world’s media have for months been proclaiming that Gaza is “on the brink of famine,”and that Israel is deliberately preventing food from entering the Strip, that thousands of Gazans are dying of malnutrition. But there is not now, and never has been, a “famine” in Gaza. There is, however, a problem with the distribution of food, because once the food trucks enter Gaza, Hamas operatives have been seizing much of the aid for themselves, their extended families, and fellow Hamas members, than is their due. That misallocation is a different thing....

‘We found that the food supply entering Gaza is more than sufficient to feed all 2.2 million Gazans according to what is considered a normal diet in North America" Columbia University Professors Awi Federgruen and Ran Kivetz have analyzed available data and conducted research whose “findings demonstrate that sufficient amounts of food are being supplied into Gaza,” they noted in a summary of their findings presented to The Jerusalem Post. They note that it is “a myth that Israel is responsible for famine in Gaza.” They argue that the International Criminal Court and UN have joined Hamas in blaming Israel...

Putting lies to rest. The monstrous regiment of anti-Israel campaigners have been accusing Israel of deliberately withholding food aid so that a “famine” is taking place in Gaza. In fact, more aid trucks laden with food have been entering Gaza today than went into the Strip before October 7. And as several academic studies have concluded, there is no famine in Gaza. There is food insecurity, which is a different thing, the result of continued looting of aid trucks by Gazans and, especially, by members of Hamas who seize food off the trucks for themselves, their extended families, and fellow...

A student who filmed himself storming into a New York college administrator’s office and tearing down two pro-Israel banners is suing the school – and claiming the official “violently” attacked him. Purchase College administrator Paul Nicholson allegedly attacked sophomore Cesar Paul who went into his office and tore down a pair of banners that said “We Stand with Israel” on Dec. 12, 2023 because they made classmates feel threatened and marginalized, the student said in the lawsuit. But after he took down the pieces, Nicholson — an ombudsman who runs two other programs at the Westchester County school in the...

Journalist and former MK Yinon Magal has noted that the incitement against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is significantly worse than the incitement that there had been against former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin two decades ago. Rabin was later assassinated, and the individual suspected of assassinating him, and charged with the crime, is still in prison. Speaking to 103FM Radio, Magal said, "There has been a change here in recent weeks, in the insane incitement campaign against the Prime Minister. It is absolutely insane. What there was against Rabin is not even one-sixtieth of what is happening here -...

Deputy DAs in Los Angeles raise concerns of office antisemitism under boss George Gascon A growing number of deputy district attorneys in Los Angeles says they have concerns about antisemitism in the office after months of silence on the issue from their boss, which culminated in clashes between anti-Israel agitators and counterprotesters outside a synagogue in a heavily Jewish neighborhood in the city. Violence erupted outside the Adas Torah synagogue on Pico Boulevard last week, prompting condemnations from a range of prominent Democrats, including President Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. But according to a...

VIDEOSenator Robert Casey Jr. who inherited a political career from his father Governor Robert Casey, Sr. has managed to get by for almost 20 years in the U.S. Senate by doing basically nothing but meaningless shuckin' and jivin' which, along with strong support from the Democrats, has managed to keep him in office. However, this year poor Casey is up for re-election and the Gaza issue threatens to divide his Democrat constituency especially since Joe Biden plans to resettle many Gazans in the USA, including Pennsylvania. Unfortunately for the Senate's Robby the Robot, he has not yet been programmed on...

Hamas hates a lot more than just Jews in Israel. In an interview with Israel Hayom, Professor Michael Wolffsohn of the Federal Army University in Munich stated: "Hamas is not just a terror army, but also an organization that holds a modern ideology for the extermination of Jews." Wolffsohn is one of the world’s leading researchers on the analysis of German-Israeli relations. According to Wolffsohn, students in Europe and the U.S. who express solidarity with Hamas: “are actually expressing solidarity with the ‘values’ of the Nazi Einsatzgruppen, ”who were the spearhead of the German masterplan for the extermination of the...

When Fatima Payman crossed the Senate floor to vote against her government she knew it would come with consequences. The Australian Labor party has strict penalties for those who undermine its collective positions, and acts of defiance can lead to expulsion - a precedent with a 130-year history. The last time one of its politicians tested the waters while in power was before Ms Payman was born. But last Tuesday, the 29-year-old did just that - joining the Green party and independent senators to support a motion on Palestinian statehood. Officially the Australian government supports a two-state solution, but did...

Israel has lost effective sovereignty in the northern part of the country, thanks to constant Hezbollah projectile fire that has led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of Israelis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday. The Times of Israel reported: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that Israel “has effectively lost sovereignty in the northern quadrant of its country because people don’t feel safe to go to their homes.” In an on-stage interview at the Brookings Institution, Blinken reiterates his belief that Israel does not want a war in Lebanon, but admits that “they may well...

On this date in 1948, an alleged spy was extrajudicially executed by the Israeli Defense Forces. This execution occurred during a short truce punctuating Israel’s War of Independence, but prior to the ceasefire the nascent IDF had become suspicious at Jordan’s gift for accurately targeting critical infrastructure in Jerusalem. Suspicions came to settle on Meir Tobianski a Lithuania-born former British officer who had become a captain in the Jewish militia Haganah: as an employee of the Jerusalem Electric Corporation, he would have made a great informant for enemy artillerymen. On June 30, 1948, Tobianski was kidnapped and driven to a...

The views expressed in this commentary are his own. Read more opinion at CNN. Since last week’s presidential debate, we’ve seen nearly nonstop news coverage about whether President Joe Biden should drop out as the Democratic presidential contender, expressed in numerous op-eds, on political podcasts and on cable television. But while Biden’s performance on Thursday is a legitimate issue, the media’s laser-focused coverage of it has resulted in former President Donald Trump all but being given a...
