Lebanon and Gaza aren’t the most-documented genocides in history. They aren’t even genocides at all. But there’s no denying that this tweet is the second most-stupid take we’ve seen all day.

The New York Times wants you to think Israel is targeting civilians in Lebanon. So it highlights a “civil defense uniform” pulled from rubble. But that logo? The Islamic Health Organization — part of Hezbollah’s network and an inseparable part of its military apparatus. So was this really a civilian target, @nytimes?

To paraphrase Chandler Bing, could the Irish Examiner be more wrong?

@owenjonesjourno Forgive us if we don't trust your judgment on what's real and what's imagined.

An obvious antisemitic caricature of Zack Polanski in The Times. But there will be no media or political outrage, which tells you all you need to know.

Why should @AnaKasparian and @academic_la care that @TuckerCarlson is a habitual liar and a conspiracy theorist? It's no different from the the nonsense that they churn out on a daily basis.

No, Israel didn’t act because this attack was “caught on video.” It wasn’t filmed by a bystander; it was captured on CCTV and released by police *after* the suspect was arrested. Israel protects its Christian population because it’s the right thing to do, not because of PR pressure.

No surprise @guardian is at the forefront of sanitizing the chant “globalize the intifada.” Stop downplaying what it means. It’s not just “some Jewish groups” calling it a call to violence. We’ve seen exactly how it plays out, from Israel to the streets of London.

After two visibly Jewish men were stabbed in London by a terrorist, media outlets and online accounts quickly emphasized that the attacker reportedly had a history of mental health issues. What they downplayed was the obvious: he targeted Jews because they were Jews. This was not an isolated incident. It came after a string of attacks on synagogues, Jewish charities, Jewish-owned businesses, and Jewish ambulances. On Thursday, the UK’s terror threat level was raised from “substantial” to “severe” by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, meaning an attack is now considered “highly likely.” That is not because people with mental illness are randomly roaming London attacking Jews. It is because Jew hate has been allowed to fester, and it is radicalizing people to actually act on their hate.

Antisemitism has been repackaged as meme culture, and people are pretending it is harmless internet slang. “Goyslop.” “ZOGchow.” “Spiritually Israeli.” These terms are not edgy jokes. They’re Jew-hatred dressed up as irony. Know the language. Call it out.

The claim that Israeli guards used trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners is being amplified everywhere. The evidence? Two anonymous guards. No names. No dates. No video. No forensic evidence. No documentation. Meanwhile, documented allegations of Hamas sexual violence, including on-camera confessions, UN findings, and testimonies from Gazan women, have received far less attention from the same outlets. Anonymous hearsay gets amplified, and documented Hamas abuse gets ignored. That choice tells you everything.

Over 12 hours, actual video of the moment and a Community Note later, @AP still hasn’t fixed its false headline. When X’s Community Notes are doing better journalism than the Associated Press, you know something is deeply wrong in the media.

That’s not journalism. If an account rushes to blame Israelis but disappears when Israelis are exonerated, they are prioritizing a biased narrative over accurate reporting.

@AnaKasparian, @MarioNawfal, @trtworld, and @RT_com quickly amplified the claim. Palestinian police later confirmed the driver was a local Palestinian. The car was unlicensed and was in PA-controlled territory. But most accounts never corrected their posts.

They called it settler violence. It wasn't.🧵

.@Aizenberg55 (Salo Aizenberg) speaks! We discuss the casualty count debate, the moral dilemma that Hamas's war strategy imposes on Israel, jihadi journalists, Genocide, and more.

“The IDF insists its troops are only in Lebanon right now to protect Israeli citizens from Hezbollah and will remain there until the group is destroyed.” That’s the most important line in this whole segment from @AlexCrawfordSky. Because given this fact, the real question isn’t only “look at the devastation,” it’s: what is the realistic alternative? Alex, in your own report you acknowledge that this round of fighting in Lebanon began when Hezbollah started firing rockets at Israel “in support of Tehran,” not in defense of Lebanese villages and towns. So please, tell us: Should Israel have simply allowed Hezbollah to keep launching rockets and drones at its northern communities indefinitely? If a terror group embeds launchers, command posts, and weapons depots inside dense civilian areas, how exactly is Israel meant to target that infrastructure in a way you would consider legitimate? When you film destruction in Hezbollah-controlled areas, why is there so little space in the piece for the basic fact that Hezbollah chose to turn South Lebanon into a forward Iranian base? There’s a deeper problem here with how Western outlets often frame these stories. Polls of Lebanese public opinion show that most Lebanese reject the idea of armed terrorist groups altogether: they want weapons in the hands of the national army, not a private army loyal to Tehran. Yet when Western reports focus almost exclusively on visible damage while sidelining Hezbollah’s decision to drag Lebanon into war on Iran’s behalf, they end up reinforcing exactly the dynamic most Lebanese say they don’t want: a heavily armed faction, answerable to Tehran, holding the entire country hostage. War is miserable. Lebanese civilians know that better than anyone. But considering Hezbollah has spent years building up a state‑within‑a‑state, stockpiling missiles, and digging into civilian areas while the international community looks away, then any serious conversation about ending the misery has to include one important point: dismantling Hezbollah’s war machine is not just an Israeli interest; it is also a Lebanese interest. So when the IDF says its forces are in Lebanon “to protect Israeli citizens from Hezbollah and will remain there until the group is destroyed,” that’s not simply a closing quote to be visually juxtaposed with wreckage. It’s a claim that demands your follow‑up: if Hezbollah remains armed, dug in, and committed to attacking Israel, what concrete alternative do you propose to Israeli military action. What's the plan for Lebanese civilians who oppose Hezbollah’s stranglehold yet are paying the price for a war they neither started nor control? These are the questions missing from far too many Western reports. They matter not only for Israelis under fire, but for millions of Lebanese who deserve something better than permanent subcontracting to an Iranian‑backed terror proxy. What, concretely, should be done about Hezbollah – today?

Media outlets call Israel’s Lebanon strategy the “Gaza model.” But Hezbollah and Hamas use the same tactics: tunnels, weapons in homes, and military activity inside civilian spaces. Israel isn’t exporting a playbook. It’s confronting two terror groups operating from the same one. honestreporting.com/the-real-gaza-…

A UAE-funded mass wedding in Gaza became a polished soft story for international media. Beautiful dresses. Suits. Music. @CNN's @clarissaward even called it “the boldest form of resistance.” Then the event ended in a brawl over Hamas and the fallout from October 7. Funny how that part didn’t make the package.
