The barbaric Hamas onslaught that slaughtered over 1,200 innocent Israelis didn’t succeed because Hamas was brilliant. It succeeded because Israel was distracted, divided, and sabotaged from within.This catastrophic intelligence and...

Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, who was one of the targets of the assassination attempt last week in Doha, Qatar, was interviewed by Al Jazeera on Wednesday evening. Hamad is the second Hamas official to be interviewed since the strike, following a similar interview earlier this week with Taher al-Nunu, who was not among the targets. Hamad described the situation in the meeting that Israel struck, recounting, "We were sitting to discuss the American proposal to end the war. Less than an hour later, we heard explosions and immediately realized it was an assassination attempt. As residents of Gaza, we...

Candace Owens has persistently spread harmful falsehoods designed to incite fear and hatred, particularly targeting Jewish communities with dangerous antisemitic tropes. Her recent baseless claim—that Charlie Kirk, a committed supporter of Israel, who was killed by Tyler Robinson (reportedly influenced by her associate, known antisemite Nick Fuentes) was supposedly part of some Z "conspiracy” (a fabrication initially propagated by Arab supremacist Naram Susli)—is only the latest in her ongoing campaign to vilify Jews. In a 2024 livestream viewed by over a million people, Owens escalated her attacks by falsely accusing a respected Jewish rabbi of orchestrating a murderous “Zionist plot”...

In an interview with CNN, Ambassador Yechiel Leiter says his son was killed in Gaza because Israel avoids harming civilians: “If we were doing what we're accused of, maybe he'd be alive today.” Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper, underscoring the unprecedented challenges the IDF faces and the moral calculus guiding its operations. “You got to ask yourself a question,” Leiter said. “A country that's capable of taking out the control of all of Iranian airspace in 72 hours, allowing for the B-2s of the United States to come in and obliterate...

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...

A Brief History of Tucker Carlson – From Conservative Star to Qatar’s Mouthpiece Following the passing of conservative legend Rush Limbaugh and the fall of Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson emerged as a leading voice on the American right. His popularity soared during the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to his anti-establishment rhetoric and combative style. For a time, he filled a vacuum in conservative media, channeling public frustration into high ratings for Fox News. However, Carlson’s trajectory shifted in 2023 when he was abruptly ousted from Fox News. The dismissal followed a series of controversies—including a high-profile lawsuit by a former...

It turns out that Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub...

In a statement on Monday, a BBC spokesperson acknowledged that the broadcaster was "not initially aware that Marah Abu Zuhri was being treated for leukemia." Following criticism, the BBC admitted on Monday that a Gazan woman it claimed had died from starvation was also suffering with leukemia, and amended its article accordingly. International media widely reported over the weekend that 20-year-old Marah Salah Mahmoud Zohry died from malnutrition in an Italian hospital after being evacuated from Gaza. The BBC subsequently tweeted that Zohry "died of malnutrition," and titled its article in the same way. However, on Sunday, Israel’s Coordination of...

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...

I remember the first time I met Randy Fine when he was a candidate before he barely won Florida’s deep red 6th district seat, as we were being told he might actually lose the seat because the strong Trump district couldn’t relate to him and didn’t like him. He was telling me that he and his wife were looking forward to moving to Washington and he hadn’t even won yet. I said to him that Washington isn’t a good place to live and he should live in the district he will represent. You know that whole “representative” thing. But he...

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.

@RepThomasMassie On September 3rd at 10:30am ET, @RepRoKhanna and I will be hosting a press conference at the Capitol joined by survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse — several of whom will be speaking out for the first time. The survivors deserve justice and Americans deserve transparency.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a Florida prison to a new minimum-security facility in Texas, authorities have confirmed. The move comes as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, has pressed the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction while also seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump. Earlier in July, Maxwell held two meetings with the Deputy US Attorney General, the details of which have not been made public. Maxwell has been at the centre of controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and the...

An international aid worker submitted a complaint to the USAID Inspector-General alleging that the UN and other programs were refusing any form of IDF help in feeding Gazans.

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.”

COGAT @cogatonline: Hamas's "Starvation Campaign" is a coordinated effort to mislead the public. ➡️A thorough review by the defense establishment exposes how Hamas is misrepresenting deaths from pre-existing medical conditions as malnutrition to advance their political agenda. ➡️For instance, in recent weeks, images of four-year-old Abdullah Hani Muhammad Abu Zarqa were circulated, claiming his condition was due to hunger in Gaza. A COGAT review found that he suffers from a genetic disease causing vitamin and mineral deficiencies, osteoporosis, and bone thinning - a hereditary illness that also affected other family members. Four months before the outbreak of the war, the...
