Even leaving aside how ludicrous it is to claim that the pro-Palestinian movement, which, since the Hamas massacre, has held countless rallies in the UK, some of them drawing hundreds of thousands of protesters, is “disenfranchised,” Jonathan Liew's defense of illegal acts of vandalism which serve to further intimidate a tiny, beleaguered Jewish community which has faced a tsunami of antisemitism over the last two and a half years is, even by Guardian standards, truly despicable.
In reporting on a social media row between Representative Randy Fine and Pro-Terror Group Leader Nerdeen Kiswani, double standards by The New York Times meant only one of them was described as racist.
In mislabeling NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani a "sharp critic of Israel," the New York Times rebrands and minimizes hateful anti-Zionism while gaslighting Jews and misleading readers. We have a new term for this: blue-and-whitewashing.
A Pennsylvania district court finds Qatari cash likely influences antisemitism at Carnegie Mellon University. Australia's Grand Mufti called for jihad against Zionists nine months before Bondi Beach Massacre. The IDF responds to Hamas' ceasefire violations by eliminating Noa Marciano's murderer.
In her Los Angeles Times column, Anita Chabria used a pseudo-definition of Nazism that erased Jew-hate from its core to argue that the Trump administration is flirting with Nazism while embracing white Christian nationalism. This columnist has had no problem freely highlighting antisemitic dog whistles on the right but has used qualifiers when discussing antisemitism in pro-Palestinian spaces.
The Guardian publicized an extremist NGO's false claims that an Israeli comedian participated in the destruction of a Gaza mosque. If the journalist had done any fact-checking, she would have discovered his reserve service consisted of performing comedy for IDF troops.
While Amnesty International has explicitly labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide,” the organization’s recently published report on Oct. 7 omitted years of statements by Hamas leaders and language from its charter demonstrating genocidal intent against Jews.
