A Jewish newspaper based in Jerusalem propped up inflated charges of settler violence charges as unquestionably true, handing our declared enemies the one asset they cannot manufacture for themselves. Why does it continue to print the blood libel it has already debunked?

UN Rapporteur Albanese said the death toll in Gaza was 680,000 (it’s 70,000 including terrorists), including 380,000 infants under five. When told there were only 341,790 children under five in Gaza to begin with, Albanese said she lied deliberately because “it had the effect I wanted".
The Israeli High Court has a long record of flouting the law when it comes to Arab parties’ participation in Knesset elections.

During the past week, more than 65 incidents of crossings into the yellow zone in the Gaza Strip were recorded, and in none of them was fire opened. Warning.
