Velshi’s Rabid, Reckless Rant
When MSNBC has to excuse Velshi’s inaccuracies by claiming he wasn’t actually talking about factual reality, or that he was speaking overly broadly by using “shorthand,” that demonstrates the profound recklessness with which Velshi treats facts and accuracy.
Without Permission, SJP Rutgers Use UNICEF USA Logo to Promote Apologist for Terrorism and Holocaust Denial
Without permission, anti-Israel activists used the UNICEF USA logo to promote and give a false veneer of credibility to their event featuring an apologist for terrorism and Holocaust denial.

This is the second time in recent days that an MSNBC host has claimed Israel has not adequately supported the United States position on the issue of Ukraine.
Amnesty Lies & Hides: When Directly Confronted with Its Factual Errors, Amnesty Goes Quiet
Amnesty International, having been given multiple opportunities to respond when directly presented with evidence that it inaccurately presented a key figure in its “apartheid” report against Israel, has gone silent.
Mehdi Hasan’s Inconsistent Standards

Muna El-Kurd: Jews are Zionist Dogs, and ‘Palestine’ Should Be Ethnically Cleansed of Them
The statement also exposes the emptiness of the supposed “principles” of individuals like El-Kurd.

According to the UN’s Michael Lynk, Facts Change, “Covetous” Jews Do Not
One seeking any more proof of the antisemitism behind much of the obscene accusations of Israel being an “apartheid” state need look no further than the new United Nations (“UN”) report that will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council (“UNHRC”) on March 24.
Once Again, the United Nations is Set to Play Word Games to Deny Jews Their History
By labeling Israel as a “colonial occupier,” the Palestinians and their enablers at the UNHRC are using the same antisemitic strategy they frequently employ at UNESCO to delink Jews from their indigenous homeland and their holy sites.
