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.

Dog whistles don't have to be explicit to be dangerous. Coded language, historical tropes, and seemingly innocuous phrases can normalize antisemitism while giving speakers plausible deniability. Recognizing the pattern is the first step to challenging it.

Hamas has chosen a new leader.
Khalil al-Hayya is no "moderate" or "pragmatist." A founding member of Hamas and close confidant of Yahya Sinwar, he helped shape the movement's strategy long before October 7 and is expected to continue it.

CNN’s Isobel Yeung went "Inside Hezbollah" to understand how the terror group is still standing.
What viewers got instead was a parade of Hezbollah operatives, supporters, and weapons smugglers whose claims were met with little scrutiny and even less context.

The Iranian regime has uranium enriched to 60%. Weapons-grade starts at 90%. If much of that stockpile sits inside Pickaxe Mountain, as intelligence assessments suggest, the decision on whether to strike just got a lot more urgent.
Here's what's really happening inside Pickaxe Mountain and why it might be the regime’s most dangerous threat.

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."

Why is the International Federation of Journalists stealth editing people from its list of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza?
All eight have ties to terrorist organizations, but without a public explanation from IFJ, the reason for the removal is unknown.
IFJ should publicly answer why these changes have been made or what it is trying to hide.

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 U.S. House passed a bill that would synchronize cooperation between the U.S. and Israeli militaries.
It was immediately referred to as a “merger” of the two militaries by members of Congress and anti-Israel commentators to millions online – despite that language appearing nowhere in the bill.
We tracked how one deceptive change in language made the story go viral.

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.

Palestine News Network is what happens when social media platforms reward the worst people on the internet.
A blue check and hundreds of thousands of followers have helped turn engineered confrontations, racist and homophobic abuse, Hamas praise, and antisemitic conspiracy theories into a content machine.
The question is no longer whether PNN violates platform terms and conditions. It is why those platforms keep helping it reach a larger audience.
