The vessel had set out from New York City half a year ago, had circumnavigated the Cape of Good Hope, and had finally arrived here. That the vessel was named for a river in America did not strike the locals as strange and when its officers left the ship after rubbing themselves with tar to look like disreputable sailors, claiming...

Everything You Need to Know About Gaza’s Fatality Numbers In recent weeks, two talking points have spread rapidly across media and social platforms. The first is the claim that the IDF now accepts Hamas’ assertion that 70,000 people were killed in Gaza. This was widely framed as a decisive moment, a supposed confession by Israel that Hamas’ figures were correct all along. That narrative is false.

Is Abby Grossberg: Tucker Carlson’s “Mordecai”?Tucker Carlson has long trafficked in dog whistles and culture war grievances—but his rage toward Abby Grossberg, a Jewish former Fox producer who challenged him legally, seems to cut deeper.
