If you haven’t heard the term #Pallywood yet, here’s a prime example… A few other examples as well. Not a WORD said by Hamas can be believed, including the HYPER-inflated casualty numbers they release (not to mention they don’t list a SINGLE “combatant” casualty…)#HamasisISIS https://t.co/y3ENUoa3Kv pic.twitter.com/shh63j8EAf— igal (@igal_n) November 29, 2023

Rashida Tlaib had the crowd eating out of her hand. It was March 2018, and the hookah lounge in a working-class suburb outside of Chicago was packed. Warm and engaging, switching frequently between English and Arabic, Tlaib - a Michigan State representative with larger ambitions - pleaded for out-of-state donations to help her become the first Palestinian American in Congress. She unashamedly told the audience that her Detroit constituents often declared: 'Rashida is a warrior, and this is a war we're in.' Sitting in the front row, Rafeeq Jaber listened intently, seemingly impressed and knowing a thing or two about...

The far-right, anti-Islam party of firebrand politician Geert Wilders has won a stunning victory in the Dutch election, exit polls suggested Wednesday, a political earthquake that will resound in Europe and further afield.

A Democratic lawmaker came under fire over the weekend, after she claimed that Palestinian Arabs living in the British Mandate prior to the establishment of the State of Israel “provided” a safe haven to Jews after the Holocaust. Rashida Tlaib, a freshman Democrat representing Michigan in the US House of Representatives, said in an interview with Yahoo!’s Skullduggery podcast program Saturday that she felt pride in the fact that her “ancestors, Palestinians” provided Jews with a haven after the Holocaust. “Let me tell you, I mean, for me, just two weeks ago or so, we celebrated, but just took a...

A new survey by Bir Zeit University among the Arabs of Gaza and Judea & Samaria, a wake-up call to anyone who mistakenly believes that it is possible to separate Hamas and Gaza or between the Arabs of Gaza and the Arabs of Judea & Samaria: Support for Hamas: 59% fully justify the October 7 massacre Another 16% support "to a certain extent" (only the murder of girls? only beheadings?) More supporters of the massacre in Judea & Samaria than in Gaza (Data via Amit Mandelbaum - see further details)

Has anyone in the media bothered to ask how it is that there are no reports from Palestinian sources, defined as “reliable,” about dead and wounded Hamas members?

Photojournalists covering Oct. 7 attacks raise ‘ethical questions,’ watchdog says HonestReporting: “When international news agencies decide to pay for material that has been captured under such problematic circumstances, their standards may be questioned, and their audience deserves to know about it.” David Swindle (November 8, 2023 / JNS) The placement of freelance photographers, who captured some of the attacks perpetrated by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on Oct. 7 for AP and Reuters, raises questions about how much and when they knew about the attacks in which more than 1,400 people were killed, according to a new analysis from HonestReporting....

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., ignored questions Tuesday when a Fox News reporter repeatedly asked for comment on a horrific report that Hamas beheaded Israeli babies. FOX Business reporter Hillary Vaughn confronted the far-left "Squad" member, who has criticized Israel for the attack, as she walked through a hallway on Tuesday. "Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off babies' heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel's rights to defend themselves against this brutality?" Vaughn asked. However, Tlaib did not acknowledge the questions. "You can’t comment about Hamas terrorists chopping off babies’ heads? Congresswoman, do you have a comment on Hamas...

The House voted 234-188 to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her remarks related to Israel and Palestinians. Twenty two Democrats joined Republicans in voting to formally rebuke Tlaib for her comments. The measure, which accuses Tlaib of "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel," is the second attempt to formally punish Tlaib over her comments about the war. Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has made several controversial comments about the war. She has defended her comments and says she is simply...

Tlaib is known for her explosive rhetoric; she has used the phrase “from the river to the sea” .. the words are antisemitic and code for .. the eradication of Israel. ... Lee Zeldin, the Republican New York gubernatorial candidate who served with her in the House, called her “evil.” ...

Iran’s clerical establishment has championed the Palestinian cause for decades and refused to recognize Israel. But there is little public support for the Palestinian struggle for statehood in Iran -- a mainly Shi’a Muslim, Persian-speaking country in the predominately Sunni Arab Middle East. Instead, many Iranians have criticized the authorities for backing Palestinian armed groups fighting Israel, with some even expressing support for Tehran’s archenemy. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has provoked pro-Palestinian street protests across the Middle East. But in Iran, public displays of solidarity have been largely limited to state-sponsored rallies. “At the popular level, there is little connection...

In the last 15 years, Islamic political interests have dug deep into New York City politics. What does that mean? Beyond the obvious, political power, money. That’s what the currency of power comes down to anyway. And that means government contracts going to so-called community groups. More Muslims living in NYC meant more money was going into Islamist organizations. And much like funding Hamas, that adds up to pro-Hamas rallies. Big Apple taxpayers have shelled out nearly $9 million since 2010 — including $3.3 million the past two years — to four nonprofits that helped spearhead anti-Israel protests where demonstrators...

horrifying new video purportedly shows at least a dozen Gaza residents shot dead in the streets by Hamas terrorists as they were attempting to flee from the north to the south of the Hamas-controlled region.

In a separate post, author and journalist Amjad Taha said the victims were among “dozens” killed by Hamas snipers, including women and children, because...
