Israel/Palestine

Following interviews on Monday and last Thursday on Fox News, CNN’s The Lead followed suit Monday with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of the founder of the Islamic terror group Hamas and who not only rebuked the group, but spent a decade undercover for Israeli intelligence. Given his harrowing background, he held nothing back in ripping Hamas as “strict” “fanatics” hellbent on “…

In 1990, after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush was considering the American response. He was torn: On the one hand, he saw the necessity of pushing Saddam out of the oil-rich state, maintaining the impression of American strength in the region. On the other hand, he wanted to avoid conflict altogether. Three weeks after the invasion, Bush had still not made a decision…

Some on the right might have thought Hell froze over the last couple of weeks when they found themselves largely agreeing with the majority of the cast of ABC’s The View on something: Israel was the victim of a terrible terrorist attack and Hamas needed to be stamped out. Those same people might have thought pigs were flying on Tuesday as co-host Joy Behar slammed Democratic…

The Tuesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC couldn't find any time for a GOP soundbite on Israel and Biden. But the CBS Evening News felt the need to offer the apparently unmissable opinions of former president Barack Obama. There were no Obama critics, either. 

Since the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians, House Democratic members of the “Squad” have drawn harsh criticism from even members of their own party for their rabidly anti-Israel posturing. But rather than shining a spotlight on the controversy, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) instead dutifully sheltered them from public scrutiny; in fact, since the attack, they have not…

Monday marked the first White House press briefing in 11 days, so the press corps had plenty to say about the Middle East crisis triggered by Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel. While some tried to‘both sides’ the situation, Fox’s Grady Trimble and Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann battled National Security Council figurehead John Kirby and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over…

As part of our research into George Soros, Joseph Vazquez discovered he funded a pro-Hamas group named Al-Shabaqa and wrote a 2007 op-ed titled "America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas." So why is it antisemitic to criticize this man?

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings greeted those starting their work weeks with more propaganda and sob stories looking to curry sympathy for the Palestinians and Hamas and against Israel as part of a wider, decades-long narrative to ‘both sides’ the conflict.

Any journalist with an ounce of common sense knew that the numbers that came from Gaza’s Ministry of Health couldn’t be trusted because the Hamas terrorist group controls the government. But during her eponymous show on Sunday, MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian demonstrated that she completely lacked common sense when she got triggered by the spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF),…

Ami Kozak tells MRC's Dan Schneider about the online rhetoric he sees related to the Israel-Hamas war.

Despite first-hand accounts from Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who liberated the kibbutz communities that were besieged by Hamas, independent journalists, and from the evidence shared by the (IDF), members of the liberal media (for some reason) still didn’t want to believe that Hamas terrorists had beheaded Jewish children. Over the weekend, one deranged journalist from New York…

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan on Sunday interviewed “Squad” member Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — and it went exactly as as one might expect for a conversation between a former al-Jazeera employee and a marxist millennial politician to go. Hasan repeatedly yielded the floor for his guest to pontificate about Israel’s “war crimes,” and suggested that Congressional opposition to a…

On “60 Minutes” last Sunday, President Biden said he thinks it would be a “mistake … for Israel to occupy … Gaza again.” He also conceded that eliminating Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon “is a necessary requirement.” At the same time, the president said, “There needs to be a path to a Palestinian state.” If anyone wants to see a preview of what a Palestinian state would look like, they should…

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza. From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the…
