Israel/Palestine

It would have been a dangerous drinking game during the Biden presidency to chug every time the media broadly described January 6 protesters as “insurrectionists.” That was the automatic journalistic assumption for every protester on the scene.So it’s remarkable when you consider radical leftist Mahmoud Khalil and the group he led, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD).

As Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil faces deportation for his part in pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic protests, PBS News Hour would have its viewers believe that he is just a victim of a presidential administration that doesn’t like having its opinions challenged. On Monday’s episode, William Brangham falsely claimed there’s no proof to support the allegations against him.

The networks had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into coverage of the virulent antisemitic protests at major universities across the United States, beginning with those at Columbia University in New York. The protesters’ worst excesses were often left off of reporting, lest people get the idea that they were materially supportive both of Hamas and of the atrocities they committed on…

Bias by omission on the PBS weekly news roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the panel of journalists played dumb about why Trump would cancel federal grant money from Columbia University, describing it as a typical Trumpian power grab. Never mind months of anti-Semitic campouts last year and the harassment of Jewish students and the chanting of homicidal slogans in the…

The New York Times can’t seem to make up its mind. Is free speech "killing us"? Or is Trump killing free speech?

President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer the few million Palestinian Arabs in Gaza to other Arab countries and then rebuild and redevelop Gaza was met with some surprise and pushback. Isn’t this unfair? Doesn’t this violate the rights of Palestinians in Gaza? Usually, when we think about those who see a world with rights and without responsibilities, a world with claims but without…

Jerusalem Bureau Chief Patrick Kingsley displayed the crazed priorities at the New York Times in a Saturday front-page “news analysis” (editorial) on the Bibas children kidnapped and murdered by Hamas. Kingsley could only fret about what Israel’s (wholly justified) rage might do to harm the anti-Israel international community’s precious “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas,…

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan claimed it was "absurd" to suggest that President Trump fired C.J. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because of his woke agenda. In fact, there is copious evidence of Brown having pushed a DEI agenda.

This week, the world was reminded of the deep and abiding evil that has wormed its way to the center of Palestinian nationalistic culture by the news that the Bibas family – a mother, Shiri; a 4-year-old boy, Ariel; and his 9-month-old brother, Kfir – who had been kidnapped back to Gaza on Oct. 7 had in fact been murdered.

There are only three things certain in life: death, taxes, and the BBC having to issue a correction after publishing a bit of Hamas propaganda.

The New York Times is apparently more concerned about taxpayer-funded goods from USAID not making their way into Hamas-controlled Gaza than USAID potentially funding Hamas terrorists.

CNN's Jim Sciutto, sitting in for Kasie Hunt on CNN This Morning, teed up a Palestinian to repeatedly accuse Trump of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, and Israel of "genocide." Sciutto never raises October 7th, Hamas, or hostages.

On CNN This Morning, Dan Senor, an expert on Israeli affairs, says that the essence of Trump's statement on Gaza is that we must not do what has failed before -- rebuilding Gaza while permitting Hamas to remain involved. He does express unequivocal opposition to the notion of American boots on the ground in Gaza.
