Middle East

Monday marked the first White House press briefing in 11 days, so the press corps had plenty to say about the Middle East crisis triggered by Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel. While some tried to‘both sides’ the situation, Fox’s Grady Trimble and Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann battled National Security Council figurehead John Kirby and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over…

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings greeted those starting their work weeks with more propaganda and sob stories looking to curry sympathy for the Palestinians and Hamas and against Israel as part of a wider, decades-long narrative to ‘both sides’ the conflict.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan on Sunday interviewed “Squad” member Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — and it went exactly as as one might expect for a conversation between a former al-Jazeera employee and a marxist millennial politician to go. Hasan repeatedly yielded the floor for his guest to pontificate about Israel’s “war crimes,” and suggested that Congressional opposition to a…

On “60 Minutes” last Sunday, President Biden said he thinks it would be a “mistake … for Israel to occupy … Gaza again.” He also conceded that eliminating Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon “is a necessary requirement.” At the same time, the president said, “There needs to be a path to a Palestinian state.” If anyone wants to see a preview of what a Palestinian state would look like, they should…

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza. From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the…

HBO Real Time host Bill Maher condemned the New York Times on Friday for their “terrible” headline on the explosion at the Gaza hospital earlier in the week where they uncritically repeated Hamas’s line that the explosion was the result of an Israeli airstrike. At the same time, Times columnist Bret Stephens criticized his employer and the media as a whole on the…

CBS ran a special report on the Israel-Hamas War on Friday night and had the common decency to acknowledge that history did not begin on October 7 or even in 1967. Unfortunately, however, they also decided to commit to both-sideism on the question of Israel’s creation, a decision that naturally led to one massive and glaring historical omission.

One day after arguing with GOP Rep. Mike Lawler that American media did not rush to repeat Hamas propaganda in the manner of Baghdad Bob on the Gaza hospital explosions, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell joined Friday’s Chris Jansing Reports to claim that The Squad has “been very outspoken” on the issue of Gaza in the aftermath of that event. That’s a funny way of saying "lied."

According to CNN, Rula Jebreal is a “journalist and foreign policy analyst,” but as a Friday appearance on CNN This Morning proved, such analysis should not be taken too seriously as she compared Israel to Russia.

Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) appeared on Thursday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC where the eponymous host did not take kindly to the suggestion that the American media repeated Hamas propaganda on the hospital in Gaza. Lawler held his ground, informing Mitchell that CNN specifically behaved in a shameful manner worthy of “Baghdad Bob.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid demonstrated on Wednesday’s edition of The ReidOut that she doesn’t know the difference between intellectual laziness and nuance. Despite all the evidence pointing to a PIJ rocket, Reid claimed not just Hamas to be untrustworthy, but also the IDF and the United States because President Biden “fanned even more flames” by repeating the claim that Hamas beheaded babies…

On Wednesday afternoon, three different Israeli officials — including a former prime minister — took to CNN airwaves to lambaste the network and the rest of the liberal media for their instinctual rush to accept Hamas’s premise (under the guise of the “Palestinian Health Ministry”) that Israel had targeted a Gaza hospital Tuesday night for slaughter. In reality, it was a misfired rocket by…

On Wednesday afternoon’s CNN News Central, reporter Nada Bashir channeled her inner Omar Jimenez or Ali Velshi by denying reality as she declared the terrifying pro-Hamas riots outside the Israeli and U.S. embassies inspired the thoroughly debunked lie that Israel fired a missile targeting a Gaza hospital was “mostly peaceful.”

“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” ( Psalm 83:4 ) The murderous attack on Israel has ripped away what remained of a thin veneer that has covered up growing antisemitism in America and some of the rest of the world. Until now it has only periodically raised its ugly head. The reaction by pro-Palestinian groups to Israel’s…
