Rep. Ro Khanna said he was detained by Israeli soldiers during a West Bank visit. But inconsistencies between his account and the IDF’s response went largely unchallenged by the media.
Basic questions about what happened, how long he was held, and whether he was actually detained were never properly addressed.

Here’s how antisemitism and Turkish expansionism have put the two former regional allies on a collision course.

For nearly three years, CPJ’s Gaza “journalist” list was treated as authoritative by major media outlets. Now, after HonestReporting documented extensive terror affiliations among those listed, CPJ has removed names, launched a review, and ousted board member Nika Soon-Shiong.
The question now is whether the outlets that repeated CPJ’s claims will correct the record.

The UN COI, with zero ballistics or military background, claim they can read IDF intent from gunshot wounds.
No military experts. No ballistics. No exclusion of Hamas fire.
Just speculation dressed up as “reasonable grounds” to claim the IDF deliberately and systematically targeted Palestinian minors.

For centuries, Islamic Jew-hate demanded Jewish submission, not Jewish destruction. Hebron 1929 and October 7, 2023 mark its radicalization into something closer to the ideology behind the Holocaust: "redemptive antisemitism," the belief that the world is healed only once the Jews are gone. Not politics. Not "occupation." A genocidal ideology, ancient in root, modern in form.

Hamas' updated casualty figures show women and children account for less than half the dead.
Yet outlets are still running the claim that Israel targeted women and children specifically, even when Hamas' own numbers show men are the majority.
Why is the media still twisting the narrative?

From the Beqaa Valley to South America, Hezbollah has built more than a terror network.
It has built itself into a state within a state, funded by the Iranian regime, financed through narco-trafficking, and propped up by a social system that runs parallel to Lebanon's own.
Here's how Hezbollah has built itself into a global shadow state.

Tisha B'Av is more than a day of mourning. It is a reminder that the Jewish connection to Jerusalem did not begin in 1948 or 1967, it has been preserved through prayer, ritual and collective memory for over 2,000 years. Understanding this fast is key to understanding Jewish indigeneity and why Jerusalem has never been "just another city."

The media ran 984 stories on "settler violence" in the West Bank and just 9 on Palestinian attacks against Israelis. That's a 109:1 coverage disparity.
Even after attacks by Jewish civilians fell 25%, coverage kept climbing and expanded beyond violence to frame stories about agriculture and livelihoods through the same lens.
The headlines weren't just reporting events. They were reinforcing a narrative.

The problem with The Guardian isn't one anti-Israel article.
It's an editorial pattern.
This week alone, it distorted Tisha B'Av, recycled famine narratives, reframed Boy George's pro-Israel song, and omitted key context on how Hamas exploited the healthcare system in Gaza.
Across every topic, the pattern is the same: context is sacrificed to sustain a narrative.

The oldest hatred in the world does not only attack Jews from the outside. It can also be turned inward, shaping how some Jews see themselves, their people and their place in the world.
That is one of Jew-hatred's most insidious successes. It does not merely distort how others see Jews. It can distort how Jews come to see themselves, redefining Jewish identity through the eyes of those who have always sought to erase it.
