Search ArticlesWhat Hamas’ Own Casualty Figures Reveal Is Not the War the Media Described
Key Takeaways: Hamas’ own casualty figures show that less than half of the casualties are women and children, contradicting the “majority” claim outlets like the Washington Post are still repeating. Hamas has also abused children by recruiting them as child soldiers, accounting for a portion of child casualties.
U.K. Government Recognizes the Iranian Threat to National Security
Key Takeaways: Since the war against Iran started in late February 2026, the Islamic Republic has orchestrated attacks against Jewish, Israeli, and American targets in Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America, using front organizations and crime syndicates to commit its ideologically-driven terror. The United Kingdom recently designated Iran’s IRGC and one of the main front groups as threats to national security, barring support for and assistance to these groups.
UN Coordinator: Hamas ‘Abusing’ Humanitarian Aid in Gaza as Part of ‘Pattern of Intimidation’
Key Takeaways: Hamas gunmen forced their way into a Gaza aid site, accosted aid workers, and obstructed operations. According to a UN body, the incident is part of a wider pattern of violence and abuse of humanitarian operations in Gaza. The IDF had warned in the past of Hamas abuses of humanitarian aid, but news coverage was widely critical of the allegations. UNSCO allegations against Hamas have now been met with a weak response.
Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner and the “Media Guru” Behind Them All
Key Takeaways: Morris Katz is the shared strategist behind Platner, Mamdani, and El‑Sayed, driving a broader “progressive”, anti‑Israel project that shields its candidates from serious accountability. El‑Sayed and Mamdani still rely on Katz and Fight Agency even after Platner’s campaign collapsed amid abuse and sexual assault allegations and left-wing calls to drop Katz.
Iran: When the Cameras Were Allowed In
Key Takeaways: Access shapes coverage. The stark contrast between the extensive photography of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral and the lack of comparable imagery during Iran’s January crackdown shows how access—not just journalistic skill—determines what the world is able to see. Remote verification has limits. Satellite imagery, geolocated videos and open-source investigations are valuable tools, but they cannot fully replace independent journalists on the ground documenting events firsthand.
Hezbollah’s Hybrid Playbook: A Terrorist Organization, a Shadow State, and a Global Network
Israel’s northern border has never been characterized by good relations between neighbors. After the state’s founding, it quickly faced challenges in the north with Lebanon, a country that has refused to recognize Israel. That refusal, unchanged since 1948, set the groundwork for everything that followed on Israel’s northern border. Many of the initial challenges met in the north were caused by Palestinian terrorism.
From Hebron to Nova: The Unbroken Thread of Muslim Jew-Hate
Key Takeaway: Hebron 1929 and October 7 were not isolated atrocities but manifestations of a long-standing anti-Jewish ideology adapted to different historical moments. Modern Islamist antisemitism emerged from the fusion of historic anti-Jewish attitudes, Arab nationalism, and European antisemitic influences. International responses have repeatedly downplayed or reframed anti-Jewish violence, contributing to “Erasive Jew-hate.” On 24 August 1929, Jews were massacred in Hebron.
Australia’s Public Broadcasters Face Serious Questions Over Antisemitism and Israel Bias
Key Takeaways: Australia’s Royal Commission on Antisemitism placed the ABC and SBS under scrutiny over allegations that their coverage of Israel has contributed to rising antisemitism and eroded trust among Jewish Australians. The hearings exposed concerns over the broadcasters’ reliance on Hamas-linked and poorly verified sources, their handling of the false “14,000 babies” claim, and their refusal to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
UN COI Report Divines Intent From Gunshots In Unclear Investigatory Process
Key Takeaways: UN COI commissioners lack military or ballistics expertise, and their report claiming the IDF targeted minors shows no evidence of consultation with forensic or weapons specialists. Instead, it relies on highly speculative interpretations of wounds and photos to assign origin, means, and malicious intent. Through an unclear process, the commissioners are able to determine exactly what weapons and projectiles are used in incidents.
Jewish Indigeneity Is an Anthropological Reality
Indigeneity is anthropological, not political. It concerns where a people’s civilization originated and developed, not whether they currently hold power or have experienced oppression. The Jewish people meet every substantive criterion for indigeneity. History, archaeology, language, law, culture, collective memory and an enduring connection to the Land of Israel all point to the same conclusion. Recognizing Jewish indigeneity restores historical accuracy.
