The Inside Politics panel discussion led by host John King on Thursday about Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar comparing the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban was less interested in Omar's actual comments, than how the "Democratic family" will learn how to live with its differing opinions.

A mob of angry left-wing ‘musicians’ have signed an open letter stating their support for Palestine and condemning the Israeli government for its “bombardment” of Gaza. How terrible of Israel to protect their citizens! I guess the authors of this message aren’t aware that Israeli defense forces have not occupied Gaza in over ten years.

Bella Hadid’s activism in defense of Hamas-run Palestine is now entangling her with radical hate-crime perpetrators. The American-Palestinian model posted a picture of herself sitting on a car along with other Pro-Palestine protestors at an rally in Brooklyn on May 16 to her 43 million Instagram followers.

In outlining the goal for winning the Persian Gulf War against Saddam Hussein for invading and occupying Kuwait in 1991, Gen. Colin Powell, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “Our strategy to go after this army is very, very simple. First, we're going to cut it off, and then we're going to kill it.” The ceasefire announced last week between the terrorist organization Hamas…

Tuesday's Morning Joe took on the wave of anti-Semitic violence on the streets of America. Joe Scarborough suggested that Jews were being targeted by people who were upset by Israel's bombing of Gaza as Hamas was lobbing missiles at Israeli cities. The problem is people associate all Jews with Israel's policies. New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg absolved the…

Reporting from Gaza during NBC’s Today show Monday morning, chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel was actually shown marching alongside Hamas militants while touting how the terrorist group was “seeing a wave of popularity” among Palestinians after lobbing thousands of rockets at Israel. The reporter then painted Israel as the villain in the conflict.

On Thursday's Ayman Mohyeldin Reports, the MSNBC show's namesake host continued his colleagues' tradition of inviting anti-Semites to discuss the developments in Israel and Gaza. This time, Mohyeldin welcomed, BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti to justify his movement, which is widely considered to be anti-Semitic, and to unwittingly show why peace Israeli-Palestinian peace will not happen…

On Friday, President Biden held his second joint press conference and with South Korean President Moon Jae-in alongside, Biden faced questions ranging from the obvious to U.S.-South Korea ties to the newsworthy with questions about the recent fighting between Israel and Hamas to the surprising (and arguably humorous) concerning the likelihood of aliens.

Friday’s White House press briefing was quite a doozy as numerous reporters offered either challenging, interesting, or yes, lefty questions to Press Secretary Jen Psaki on boycotting next year’s Beijing Winter Olympics, Egypt’s role in the Hamas-Israeli ceasefire, and government spying on reporters.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that ceasefires are "Incredibly unpopular" among Israelis because they're on the receiving end of thousands of rockets, and want Hamas to be finished off. Scarborough says we would have a similar reaction in the US, and we need to keep things in perspective. 

For the past two weeks, rockets have been fired into civilian areas of Israel by the terrorist group Hamas. Hamas' charter openly calls for the destruction of the state of Israel, which would entail an anti-Semitic genocide; its 1988 charter explicitly and openly calls for such a genocide. Hamas spends tens of millions of dollars in foreign aid not on helping the citizens of the Gaza Strip but…

On Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed to a tentative cease-fire as the latest flare-up in the conflict lasted 11 days. And as CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell admitted, “the truce follows last-minute negotiations led by Egypt…” But ABC’s World News Tonight would have their viewers believe that it was President Biden’s feeble “quiet diplomacy” that secured a moment of…

Thursday featured the first White House press briefing in nearly a week (due to President Joe Biden’s travel schedule), and so Fox’s Peter Doocy made the most of it by grilling Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the origins of the coronavirus, the Biden administration allowing Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline to go through, and Middle East violence.

An Israeli legal scholar complained that YouTube twice censored his interview about Israel’s strikes against the terror group Hamas. Then YouTube gave conflicting accounts about why it censored him. The scholar said the takedown notice YouTube emailed him stated that a "team" of reviewers "think" the video violated the platform's guidelines. Yet, YouTube said in a public statement that its…
