Anti-Israel activists demanded a boycott of Spider-Man: Brand New Day because Israeli-American producer Avi Arad supports Israel.

Meanwhile, Mark Ruffalo, one of Hollywood’s loudest anti-Israel voices, had no problem collecting a Marvel paycheck from the same film.

The result? A failed boycott and the biggest domestic opening weekend in box-office history.

This was never principled activism. It was selective outrage aimed at an Israeli Jew.

A migration crisis overwhelmed Ceuta. Then came the conspiracy: Israel was secretly behind it. The claim spread to millions without evidence, fueled by recycled footage, disconnected facts and the familiar antisemitic “hidden hand” trope.

The real causes were far less sensational.

People say Israel “buys” American politicians. So let’s follow the money.

Abdul El-Sayed built his campaign around attacking Israel and AIPAC, accusing the organization of buying influence, punishing critics of Israel, and using antisemitism to silence opposition. After narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens, he framed AIPAC’s spending against him as retaliation for his opposition to U.S. military aid to Israel.

So what is AIPAC really? For starters, it's not a foreign lobby. It's an American organization, and compared with the biggest power players in Washington, its spending is far from exceptional. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Realtors, Amazon, and other major corporations spend far more on lobbying and elections.

Israel doesn’t control American politics. So why is so much attention focused on it?

Why did one human interest story about a Gazan beekeeper set the top news outlets abuzz?

Because a photogenic protagonist, a story of struggle and survival, and a looming enemy just outside the frame are the perfect fit for the desk editor’s daily Gaza war item.

From Reuters, to CNN, to the Washington Post, each retelling became more dire, with a dwindling number of hives, financial ruin, and even starvation.

Through repetition, one beekeeper became a symbol for all of Gaza, while Hamas, October 7 and the war’s origins disappeared from view.

And the irony? The same human interest pieces don’t feature Israelis affected by war, and certainly not with a sympathetic narrative.

When there’s one recurring victim and one constant villain, the media isn’t telling you the news. It’s telling you a fantasy.

Israel votes in less than three months. Confused by the coverage?

Start here: Israelis don't vote for a candidate, they vote for a party. And the "winner" on election night still has to negotiate for weeks before anyone becomes Prime Minister. Here's a simple explanation of how it actually works, as compared to the US system.

Jewish suffering should not be appropriated, inverted, or weaponized against Jews.

From the language of “hostages” and “pogroms” to Holocaust imagery, we examined how Jewish trauma is being repackaged to attack Israel.

Our history is not a rhetorical weapon.

Two Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hezbollah IED while clearing terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

Was it abandoned ordnance—or a deliberate attempt to derail the fragile Israel-Lebanon ceasefire? With similar explosions also harming Lebanese troops, the incidents raise urgent questions about Hezbollah’s tactics, its challenge to the Lebanese state, and the need for lasting disarmament.

The chant is three words long and it moves easily. It fits on a placard, in a protest mob, on a campus lawn in New York.

Globalize the intifada.

Most of the people shouting it have never had to define it, and would probably say it means resistance, or liberation, or some other sanitized sentiment.

But for the families of the 16 people who were murdered on this day, twenty-five years ago, the definition is written in blood.

It was just before 2pm, on a hot Thursday afternoon at the height of summer vacation, when a bomb went off at a packed pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem.

The intifada was explosives and flesh-shredding nails in a guitar case. It was 8 adults and 8 children murdered, including a pregnant woman. It was 130 people wounded. And it was the detonation of any feeling of safety in civilian areas, like a family restaurant.

The intifada isn’t a metaphor. It is unforgivable violence.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the "global voice of journalists" representing 600,000 media professionals in over 140 countries, wanted the authority to tell the world how many journalists Israel had killed. It apparently did not want the responsibility of admitting who was actually on its list.

After eight names were linked to terrorist groups in Gaza, the IFJ quietly erased them without a correction or explanation. Two more journo-jihadists remain on their list.

IFJ's casualty list helped fuel false accusations that Israel was deliberately targeting journalists. Now that some of those names are exposed as terrorists, targeted by Israel for being terrorists, they don't want the world to know.

Ask yourself why.
