As we look ahead to 2025, we are more committed than ever to what we believe is a foremost necessity of our time – fighting the battle for truth against lies about Israel and the Jewish people in an increasingly complex and dangerous world.
In an article about Amnesty accusing Israel of genocide, the Post doesn’t think that “what to know” includes the fact that Amnesty has unilaterally changed the definition of genocide in order to attempt to make it fit the situation in Gaza.
The journalists aren’t revealing truths, nor are the activists righting real injustices. Their actions, in redefining words as applied to Jews, reveal their ideological motivations, for which they are willing to alter reality itself.
On December 4, the activist organization Amnesty International is set to release a report accusing Israel of committing “genocide.” The charge is not merely false, it is a complete inversion of the truth. It is both baseless and malicious, relying on disinformation and invented legal standards to deny the Jewish state its right to self-defense following Hamas’s genocidal attack on October 7, 2023.
The Associated Press and Los Angeles Times neglect to correct erroneous reporting that U.S. activist Rachel Corrie was killed while she was protesting a home demolition in the Gaza Strip. Court documents show the bulldozer was clearing brush used in attacks against troops.
Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, bangs the table as she misrepresents the facts.
The Board’s questionable handling of the public engagement process over moderating the term "shaheed" does not inspire confidence that these issues are being fairly or fully considered. With upcoming Board recommendations on moderating the phrase “from the river to the sea” and how to handle the use of the term “Zionists” when compared to criminality, it is clear that the Board seeks to have an enormous influence on online expression relating to Israel and antisemitism. As antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism surge, this should be concerning to all.
Israel shut down the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. So said the New York Times.
No one of consequence denies the World Court called for an end to Israeli military operations in Rafah. So argued the New York Times.
In both cases, the news was false — as reporting even in the New York Times would eventually make clear.
In its May 24 order, the International Court of Justice relied on a handful of dubious, generalized and misleading claims made by various United Nations figures.
