UN can't vetify Hamas' Euro-Med / Ms. Goebbels Franceca Akbanese fake "raiLpe" cases against IDF Human Rights Expert: 'Francesca Albanese is the 21st-century Joseph Goebbels'. HR Voices. January 13, 2025. "Professor Anne Bayefsky, the Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and President of the Human Rights Voices human rights organization, spoke to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News about the appeal by United Nations 'experts', including Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, against the bill passed by the US House of Representatives last week imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its arrest warrants against...

Palestinianism recurring pattern is to accuse the victim of the very crime that the accuser attempted to commit but failed to carry out. The earliest known false accusation of so called "genocide" against Israel by a senior Palestinian leader appears to have come from Farouk Kaddoumi in May 1974—just days after the Ma'alot massacre, in which Palestinian terrorists murdered Israeli schoolchildren and other civilians. As Israel responded by striking terrorist targets in Lebanon, Kaddoumi accused the state of "genocide," [link] establishing a pattern that continues to this day: portraying Israel's defensive actions as atrocities while downplaying or obscuring the terrorism...

Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it. Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic...

Palestinian NGO tells journalists exactly how to adopt anti-Israel propaganda - like normalizing terrorism The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy (PIPD) is an NGO "advocating for the liberation of Palestine from all forms of settler colonialism." They have a separate website, called "Communicating Palestine," which includes a set of rules for Palestinians and those who claim to support Palestinians to use. It is essentially a course in anti-Israel propaganda. For example, it provides a flowchart on what kinds of photographs of Palestinians are allowed to be published in the media and by NGOs. Obviously, Hamas terrorist, or shooting rockets, or...

And finally, new rules. Since yesterday was Israel's birthday, having become a nation on May 14th, 78 years ago, everyone must either wish her a happy birthday or admit they're anti-Semitic. Now, it's everyone's right in a free country to be anti-semitic. But enough with hiding behind Israel or Zionism or Netanyahu. If you think, as so many do now, that when it comes to human rights, Israel is the monster country of all time, you either don't read or you don't care about your own hypocrisy because there are so many worse places. But that's where we are these...

Edmund Fitton-Brown @EFittonBrown Oh dear. Iskandar323 picked the wrong jurisdiction in which to become one of the world’s leading pro-Hamas propagandists. The #UAE takes a dim view of foreigners who abuse their hospitality by supporting terrorist groups. It would be a pity if the Emiratis learned his identity. Quote WikiBias @WikiBias · Mar 23 Investigations have revealed that Iskandar323, the recently banned editor, who worked to rewrite Jewish history and whitewash the Iranian regime and Hamas, is an English journalist based in the United Arab Emirates. Our eyes are wide open for all others. More to come.

It is very complex. It is not merely a moral, philosophical, or intellectual matter—it is also a matter of military warfare. That is to say: on the one hand, there are wars that are just. Is it just for Israel to defend itself? Absolutely just. Is it just—after the butchering perpetrated by the Palestinian Hamas guerrillas on October 7, 2023, killing more than a thousand innocent Israelis—for Israel to go and kill Hamas terrorists wherever they may be hiding? It is just; it is a just war. Now, in such just wars—regrettably, tragically—innocent people sometimes die. In wars—no matter how...

Roaring Lion Shows Israel’s Moral Compass in War. Gaza and Iran Alike—Israel’s War Is With Terror, Not Civilians. Israel’s Precision Strikes Prove It Never Targets Civilians. Israel’s conduct during Operation Roaring Lion underscores a consistent principle: it does not target civilians as a matter of policy. Even in Iran—where Israel has no obligation to minimize harm toward a hostile regime—civilian casualties were unintended and limited. This is significant because it demonstrates that Israel’s military doctrine prioritizes precision and restraint even when facing adversaries. If Israel were indifferent to civilian life, operations in Iran would likely look very different. Instead, the...

Hamas’s Protester Cohorts: How Direct Terrorist Coordination Exposes the “Genocide” Lie Against Israel. The false accusation that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza is not a grassroots cry for justice—it is a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign directed by the very genocidal terrorists who started the war. Since Hamas’s barbaric October 7, 2023 massacre—when its fighters slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, raped women, burned families alive, and took 251 hostages—the terrorist group has openly coordinated with, financed, and celebrated the anti-Israel protest movement in the United States. This unholy alliance dismantles the “genocide” libel once and for all. If the protests were truly...

Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer: Francesca Albanese appeared today at the United Nations Human Rights Council to present her annual report. I was the first NGO to take the floor: “Ms. Albanese, in your report on torture, why is there not one single mention of Hamas’ horrific torture of Israeli hostages? You’ve said: ‘It’s not in my mandate.’ But on March 4th, you signed a UN statement condemning US and Israeli strikes in Iran. Are you mandated to speak on events a thousand miles away from your focus area, and not to say one word on the atrocities committed by Hamas on...

In an infamous Tucker Carlson style of advancing an agenda via "just asking questions", PBS Newshour's Amna Bawaz "interviewed" Mamdani. "Zohran Mamdani on his bold agenda, tackling Islamophobia [sic] and working with Trump." Mar 20, 2026. Since taking office as mayor (roughly 2.5–3 months prior to the current date of March 22, 2026), several controversies have emerged, primarily centered on his administration's early actions, appointments, personal/family associations, and policy decisions. These have drawn criticism from Jewish organizations, conservative media, some moderate Democrats, and others, often focusing on issues related to Israel/Palestine, antisemitism allegations, and personnel vetting. Many stem from his...

Aizenberg @Aizenberg55: Hamas uses child soldiers. NGOs don’t talk about it. The UN doesn’t report it. Human rights "experts" don't care. But the evidence is public — names, ages, photos, and admissions. 1,000s killed in combat. The Child Soldiers of Gaza ⬇️Feb 17, 2026The long-standing use of child soldiers by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups is absent from mainstream discourse. A search for news coverage on child soldiers in Gaza since 10/7 yields no results from major media outlets. While the deaths of thousands of children in the Gaza war are tragic and deserve acknowledgment, many of those recorded...

Labeling Israel’s war in Gaza as genocide is not criticism but a modern blood libel, one that distorts October 7, fuels antisemitism worldwide, and must be confronted head-on. ByJPOST Editorial. February 17, 2026. The bald-faced lie that Israel committed genocide in Gaza is quickly becoming the 21st-century equivalent of the centuries-old blood libel against the Jewish people. It has crept into mainstream global discourse, and unless massive efforts are made to debunk the false claims once and for all, when the history of the two-year Israel-Hamas War is taught in the decades to come, the focus will not be on...

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot tells lawmaker the French government demands UN Rapporteur's resignation after her latest hateful rant against Israel. “France unreservedly condemns the outrageous and reprehensible remarks made by Ms. Francesca Albanese, which are directed not at the Israeli government, whose policies may be criticized, but at Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable," Barrot said. He stated that Albanese's remarks “target not the Israeli government, whose policies can be criticized, but Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable," and that they "add to a long list of...

Aizenberg @Aizenberg55: The Gaza death toll narrative depends on pretending Hamas never kills Gazans. In reality, Hamas & PIJ killed 1000s from internal violence and misfired rockets—then get counted as civilians killed by IDF. Numerous reports and incidents like the one below document this clearly.
