Yair Kleinbaum Sep 10, 2025 19:57 As the people of Israel, and all other civilized westerners, are mourning the passing of Charlie Kirk, thousands of Palestinians are responding to posts by Israeli influencers mourning his death with laughing emojis and mocking comments. On the Facebook page of one of Israel’s largest influencers, the Israeli rapper “The Shadow,” where Kirk was eulogized, hundreds of Arabs, including Arabs who enjoy the rights of every Israeli citizen, i.e Israeli-Arabs, published...

Qatar’s vocal condemnation of Israel’s operation reveals a deeper, more troubling reality: the Arab-Islamic regime has been a key enabler of the genocidal Hamas leadership. By consistently supporting Hamas, both through direct funding and media manipulation, Qatar has played a dangerous role in perpetuating the cycle of violence. Qatar’s state-backed media outlets, like 'Al Jazeera' and 'Middle East Eye', have been vocal in pushing narratives that fuel anti-Israel sentiment, much like the Turkish Islamist dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan uses 'Anadolu' and 'TRT' to spread Islamist propaganda. But it goes beyond mere media influence—Qatar has actively positioned itself as a “mediator”...

Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger Big breaking via @KassyAkiva: Con artist Tony Aguilar, who was repeatedly platformed by Tucker Carlson, Piers Morgan, and legacy media outlets across the US, has officially been exposed for what he is.

Interested in Becoming an Expert on the Truth Behind ‘Genocide’ Claims? It's Almost Free. You can leverage it to push back against the distortion of the term, especially as it’s been hijacked by the politicized narrative of ‘Palestinization.’ The “Genocide” Accusation Against Israel Crumbles Under Scrutiny of Genocide Scholars Group.The recent International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) resolution accusing Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza has rapidly unraveled, exposing both the political motivations behind the accusation and the organization's lack of academic rigor. What was initially presented as a serious, scholarly condemnation has turned into an embarrassing farce, demonstrating that...

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...

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...

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) presents itself as a bloc dedicated to advancing Islamic interests globally, often pushing an agenda that prioritizes the expansion of Islamic influence at the expense of Western values and principles. As the second-largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, the OIC holds considerable sway in shaping global policies, frequently promoting narratives that are more concerned with Islamic solidarity than with universal freedoms or democratic values. In its efforts to assert Islamic interests, the OIC often seeks to control critical global discussions on human rights, religious freedom, and security. This influence is frequently exercised in...

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...

The irony is staggering: those protesting against the head of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund. If you truly care about lives, why are you attacking those working tirelessly to provide food and aid to Gazans? It’s hard to reconcile calls for peace with efforts to block lifesaving support." The irony is undeniable: those screaming 'genocider' at the very people providing food to Gazans—who's really calling for genocide now? These extremists, bent on escalating the situation, seem to be the ones fueling hatred and death, not those working to save lives._ 'Genocider!': Gaza Humanitarian Fund head faces pro-Palestinian threats, protests over Gaza...

No one has ever heard of Western flotillas headed to Nigeria, Congo, or Syria, where Christians and Druze are slaughtered like chickens.

Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Mother Agapia, the “Nun from Palestine” and sister of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, to talk about Christian persecution in the Holy Land. But as the interview unfolds, it actually reveals a completely different — and much darker — reality about life for Christians in “Palestine,” Judea, and Samaria.

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...
