The left is viciously antisemitic. The media is leftist.
Israel is fighting for its survival against the most brutal, inhumane savagery in the face of the earth. Worse still, it is rooted in a religious (jihadic) doctrine – the same ideology behind the 9/11 attacks.
The media has chosen a side – annihilating the Jews. The media is the enemy of the people.

The media is propagating evil lies about the situation in the Mideast
BY: NY Post, April 28, 1014:
We now have clear proof of the adage that a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can put its boots on.
It comes in the form of an Associated Press report that carried this headline: “Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established.”
What a scoop!
It was so sensational that news outlets across America and the world ran with it, including CNN, ABC News and even the Times of Israel.
And why not, it was a breakthrough offer that could bring peace at last, right?
Wrong.
It was a public relations ploy disguised as an olive branch.
The way other organizations swallowed it hook, line and sinker illustrates how Hamas skillfully plays western news organizations and gullible journalists.
The incident also demonstrates how far the AP has fallen from its days as a boring but trustworthy news organization.
In a race to rack up clicks, it has featured the article on top of its online “world” section since Wednesday despite the fact that it’s a dead letter.
The story, based on an interview with a Hamas leader in Turkey by an AP freelancer, was misleading and woefully incomplete.
And it came loaded with the AP’s usual bias against Israel.
It called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “hard line” for rejecting a Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, Hamas was called a “militant group” and its terrorists described as members of its “military wing.”
To its credit, the Times of Israel saw through the ploy.
In addition to adding other details that undercut the way the AP portrayed the offering as a concession, it reported that the same Hamas official who spoke to the AP, Khalil al-Hayy, delivered a different message to a London-based Arabic paper.
There he said that, regardless of any deal with Israel, the Palestinians would retain their “historic right to all Palestinian lands.”
In other words, Hamas claims all the land “from the river to the sea” and remains deadly serious about wiping Israel off the map.
Although the AP deserves the blame for the distortions, including how it underplayed the conditions the Hamas leader attached, any journalist who read the whole piece should have seen through it.
Even Israel-bashing CNN should have figured this one out.
Certainly the American and Israeli governments did, which is why neither took the interview seriously despite their eagerness to couple a cease-fire with the release of the hostages Hamas is holding.
In truth, the conditions attached to the promise of peace were so onerous that they amounted to poison pills and reveal — as if there was any doubt — Hamas is not serious about ending the war it started.
Border madness
One condition was a return to the pre-1967 borders of Israel, which would mean it would need to relinquish all of East Jerusalem and the West Bank, which, joined with Gaza, would make up the new Palestinian state.
The Golan Heights, which Israel took from Syria in the Yom Kippur War of 1973, also would have to be returned.
The second nonstarter was the demand that all “refugees” who left pre-’67 Israel would have the right of return.
Including all those who left voluntarily or were forced out, plus their descendants, the total would be nearly 6 million Arabs, meaning the end of Israel as a Jewish majority state.
Notably, the AP story did not mention that number or its impact on Israel.
A third condition was that Hamas terrorists would become part of a new Palestinian National Army.
That would mean amnesty for those who took part in the savage brutality of Oct. 7, 2023, and provide them with another chance to kill more Jews.
Seen through the conditions, the interview revealed that Hamas will only silence its guns temporarily and then only if Israel signs its own death warrant.
Although there is no connection between the AP interview and the spread of pro-Hamas demonstrations on American college campuses, both developments serve to underscore the ignorance of many Americans about the Mideast.
And that includes far too many members of the media.
The twin developments also reflect a “blame the Jews” mindset that is part and parcel of the shocking outbreak of antisemitism in the United States and around the world.
It is especially mind boggling to realize this lurch backwards to the ancient hatred came after Israel suffered a terrorist attack that claimed more Jewish lives than any day since the end of the Holocaust.
As for the Hamas double speak, Israelis are long accustomed to the habit of Palestinian leaders saying one thing to English-speaking audiences and something entirely different to Arabic audiences.
Hamas has become adept at the scam, and knowing that is likely what led the Times of Israel to discover the Arabic-language paper where al-Hayya contradicted what he said to the AP.
It was there he stressed that Hamas is still committed to destroying Israel and would remain so even if a cease-fire took place.

The only democracy in the middle east today.
Israel is surrounded by 56 Islamic backwards brutal states.
In Iran the women are considered “servants” to men. In Iran they execute homosexuals.

“Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established.”
Like when Israel left Gaza 20 years ago?
They can have a Palestinian state (in addition to Jordan), but they first have to recognize Israel’s right to exist. This is one of the tests to see if the Jihadists really mean it.

What I find fascinating is how well the anti-Semites had hidden themselves in North America, or, had hidden themselves from us who are not Jews, but believe that we are all equal under God. It is as if they were waiting for the right moment: October 7th, 2023. The vulgar, savage, inhuman brutality of the slaughter made anti-Semitism real and forced the sleeper anti-Semities to face the facts of who and what they are, and they hate that they can now be seen for what they really are: atavistic, disgusting, brutal, and cunning, enemies of decency and civilization. I say let these people speak their hatred. Then we know who they are and where they are, and then they can be fired from their employment, and ridiculed and barred from entering our ranks. We know that Islam is a roadmap and a mandate to kill not just Jews, but all who choose to think for themselves, including but not limited to Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists. I am a target because I am not a Muslim. So are you. As Dan Bongino says, “Keep your head on a swivel” and “Do not get dead”.

There is no Palestine. This is a fabrication of the KGB, designed as a weapon against the West.
This is a malevolent concept designed to destroy Israel 🇮🇱
Never surrender to this dark and destructive force.
All freedom loving people stand with the Jewish people and Israel 🇮🇱

The DemoNazi Propaganda Machine grabs onto any blood libel against Jews they can. Print the lie, then quietly retract so that the lies stick.
