For two years, Israel struck or raided hospitals in Gaza, claiming Hamas operated from inside them. Each strike produced a global outrage cycle: images of dead patients, condemnations from the UN, the WHO calling Shifa a โ€œdeath zone,โ€ genocide accusations at the ICJ. Israelโ€™s counter-claim,that Hamas had embedded its military inside the medical system was ignored. Almost every institution positioned to verify it, aid groups, UN agencies, much of the press,either stayed silent or actively disputed Israelโ€™s version. MSF repeatedly said it had โ€œseen no evidenceโ€ of Hamas using hospitals ๏ฟผ, while accusing Israel of attacking healthcare. When the IDF raided Shifa and the early evidence looked thin, outlets ran fact-checks mocking the rifle count, and the skepticism hardened into a settled narrative that Israel had lied. Then in February 2026, the least Israel-friendly credible witness imaginable,a Nobel-winning aid group that had accused Israel of genocide, documented armed men, patient arrests, and weapons movement at Nasser from the inside. Did anyone really cover the correction? No. No they did not.

Why would the U.S.-based SJP, โ€œStudents for Justice in Palestine,โ€ or more appropriately, โ€œStudents for Jihad in Palestine,โ€ be sharing celebratory images that show Iranian missiles striking U.S. targets in an Arab, Muslim country? Why would a group that is interested in โ€œjusticeโ€ for the Palestinian people be gloating and glorifying a fascist regime that has inflicted grave injustice upon countless Iranians, Arabs, Muslims, and the peoples of the Middle East, including the Palestinian people themselves? Itโ€™s because the October 7 attacks by Hamas unleashed evil and demonic spirits, which have possessed hordes of empty, soulless humans among the โ€œpro-Palestineโ€ movement thatโ€™s full of hollow husks. Adding Hamasโ€™s red upside-down triangle is a clear symbol that is an explicit nod and endorsement of the Islamic Republic of Iran. And these are the students who want the rest of society to pay for their student loans and finance their ability to engage in anti-human, anti-American, anti-Arab, anti-Muslim behavior at American university campuses. For these masses of โ€œpro-Palestineโ€ students, activists, journalists, academics, advocates, and politicians, it was never about the Palestinian people. Instead, it was an opportunity to open the floodgates of blood, death, hatred, instability, chaos and demonstrate an immense loathing and disgust towards the world and humanity; it was a chance to inflict revenge upon the world for their personal failures to achieve anything and their sense of entitlement based on a twisted notion of injustice in their lives; it was about using the Palestinian cause as a proxy and a vector for sick, demented, and misrepresentative ideas and beliefs that never build, but always destroy. Dismantle the Western-based โ€œpro-Palestineโ€ movement and shut down this failed, embarrassing industrial complex. The Palestinian people deserve better allies and advocates. Itโ€™s time to end the lust for violence and hate and to promote radically pragmatic narratives and solutions that actually help the Palestinian people achieve freedom, independence, dignity, and statehood. Itโ€™s time to Realign For Palestine๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

Great post, horrendous comments. When, after 2 centuries of Jews have been stereotyped as weak, nerdy, unathletic, a Jew wins big in one of the toughest sports, on the biggest stage, weโ€™re gonna be proud.

Terrifying reports keep coming from Gaza as Hamas launched a sweeping crackdown across the Strip since the so-called "ceasefire" took effect. Activists and civilians describe arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances, and killings carried out in silence, while the world looks away and no major human rights groups seriously document Hamasโ€™s crimes. After surviving two years of genocide, those who opposed Hamas now live under constant fear --escaping death from Israeli bombardment only to face persecution, silence, and death by Hamas militias. Hamas appears to be shifting tactics -- no longer openly broadcasting its crimes after widespread condemnation of the public execution of the Dughmas family last month, choosing to carry out its crimes in the shadows.

as someone who's regularly pushed back on the use of blood libel claims to shut down criticism of the Gaza genocide: staging an event where children's limbs and blood is on the menu is a straight up classic blood libel
We condemn the blatantly antisemitic โ€œIsraelโ€™s Friendsgiving Dinnerโ€ protest that took place both inside and outside of Union Station in Washington, D.C., this week. It invoked one of the oldest antisemitic ideas in history: blood libel, or the idea that Jews kill non-Jews and use their blood for nefarious religious rituals (most infamously, the idea that Jews would kill Christian children in order to make use of their blood). We are firm believers and defenders of the right to free speech and political protest, including protests of the Israeli governmentโ€™s actions and policies in Gaza and the West Bank โ€” even protests we might disagree with or protests that make us uncomfortable. But we unequivocally condemn any demonstration like this that directly and blatantly invokes an antisemitic trope that has led to centuries of violence against Jews. (Video: /jolly_good_ginger)

No one thinks that criticizing Netanyahu is antisemitic. Iโ€™ve never met any Israeli or Jew who believes this. This belief seems to exist almost exclusively in the rhetoric of antisemites pretending that their obsessive hatred is โ€œcriticism of Netanyahu.โ€

Horrific: Hamas announced it will soon carry out public executions of members of families with whom it had recent clashes. And this is just the first day of the ceasefire.

President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority has stated that Hamas must surrender its weapons and will have no part in ruling Gaza in the future. He also condemned Hamas's attacks on October 7th. This is a step in the right direction. This statement, along with reworking the Authority's welfare system to no longer reward terrorists, gives me hope. The Palestinian Authority has far from a perfect past, but I care much more about working to create a peaceful future.

Here is a video of Ahmed Al-Masri, a Palestinian activist from Gaza and one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protests, saying during a demonstration: โ€œWe want to live in freedom and dignity. We donโ€™t want Hamasโ€”Hamas has destroyed us.โ€ Today, Hamas militants attacked Ahmedโ€”shot at him, attempted to kill him, and brutally broke his limbs. This is what happens when you speak the truth in Gaza. They silence you with bullets and broken bones.

What Jews have gone through this week: - A 12-year-old Jewish boy in Paris was bullied by a classmate who slammed him to the ground and said, โ€œI donโ€™t like Jews anyway. And I want to work for the Gestapo when I grow up.โ€ - In the Brooklyn subway, a Jewish man was violently attacked by a woman shouting, โ€œYouโ€™re a Jew, Iโ€™ll break your face.โ€ She stole his kippah and spat on his friends. - In the Paris metro, a Jewish man was assaulted by someone yelling, โ€œIโ€™m going to slit your throat, you filthy son of a bitch Jew. Disgusting people. Free Palestine.โ€ He was also spat on. - A letter from Jewish leaders exposed the dire situation in Norway, where many Jews hide their identities just to receive medical care. - In France, a rabbi was brutally attacked on the street while walking with his 9-year-old son. - A 48-year-old Jewish woman was severely injured in France after being assaulted by a woman who shouted, โ€œThis isnโ€™t Israel, filthy Jewโ€ฆ If I see you again, Iโ€™ll slit your throat.โ€ What will it take for the world to speak up?

Anti-Hamas protests are breaking out in northern and southern Gaza, asking "Where is the press?!" Of course, Aljazeera & leftists or "independent" Western media are nowhere to be seen because they will never disrupt the Hamas-centric "resistance" narrative. Expose them all now!
