Joe Kent’s resignation is all over the mainstream news. What isn’t? Who he ACTUALLY is — and why major media outlets aren't talking about it.🧵

My boss @dmlitman at @Jerusalem_Post jpost.com/opinion/articl…

In Ken Roth's fantastical world, Ali Larijani is a bridge builder and wars are only fought so that we can score another empty ceasefire before the next war (as opposed to securing national interests and eliminating threats). @Princeton professor, by the way.

NPR interviewed jailed Muslims who ate w/ Mamdani (got official permission) but were not interested in interviewing anyone connected to Temple Israel in Michigan. Then, @NPR blue-and-whitewashed @ZohranKMamdani Spoiler: that's not why he faces deep suspicion by Jewish leaders.

NEW: Emails released by the House Education Committee show that Qatar pressed American universities with satellite campuses in Doha to coordinate their messaging with the regime in the days following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack. University officials were instructed to “be aligned” to ensure “information sharing and no surprises,” @CAndersonMO reports.

Things have taken for the worst in the last 16 hours. I’m not sure what my bandwidth is at this point. The fight for my life is slowly reaching an unsuccessful end. I still would love to go to Mayo. Please help if you can. gofundme.com/f/help-adam-wi…

نؤكد الآن أنه تمت تصفية وزير الاستخبارات في النظام الإيراني، إسماعيل خطيب، في غارة دقيقة داخل طهران. هذه العملية تشكل ضربة مباشرة لمنظومة القمع والاستخبارات التابعة للنظام، وجزءًا من سلسلة استهدافات مستمرة لقياداته

Bloomberg’s lead Iran reporter: Israel killed Larijani not because he directed murder of 30,000+ Iranians, not because he had American & Israeli blood on his hands, not because he was directing the war against America & Israel. But he might have been useful for a “peace deal.”

Gold Star wife here. When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine. You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

As a research manager at a media watchdog, I appreciate when the journalists are this open about their complete lack of judgment. It makes my job easier.

The opening of @JKouzi36's latest analysis might be the most devastating takedown of NPR you'll read all year:

🔴 COMMANDER OF THE BASIJ UNIT ELIMINATED Yesterday, the IDF targeted & eliminated Gholamreza Soleimani, who operated as commander of the Basij unit for the past 6 years. Under Soleimani, the Basij unit led the main repression operations in Iran, employing severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against civilian demonstrators.

🔴Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and the regime’s effective leader, has been eliminated. Throughout the years, Larijani was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership, and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. During the most recent wave of protests against the Iranian terror regime, Larijani personally oversaw the massacre that was carried out against Iranian protestors.

Guardian columnist describes the mere existence of a bakery chain run by Jews as “aggression” in order to justify kristallnacht-style attacks on it. Cannot believe they printed this

The Guardian: Even tho a bakery which had a Jewish founder is a British business (technically, we guess), it’s clearly an act of aggression for a Jew-store to open near a salt-of-the-earth independently owned Palestinian cafe. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@dmlitman analyzes Iran's tough talk messaging declaring the future of Iran will be decided by the Iranian people: "It's rather 'Iran-ic' coming from a regime official to be talking about the future of Iran being decided by the Iranian people. This is a regime that is anything but democratic."

Lord, grant me patience on discussion of the Michigan synagogue attack

Discussions of international law often appear definitive in headlines and commentary, but the reality is far more complex. @dmlitman explores how media outlets frequently present legal interpretations about the Iran war as settled fact, even though international law is often contested and open to multiple readings. Litman urges readers to approach sweeping legal claims with caution and to recognize the nuances that shape debates about war, sovereignty, and self-defense. 👉 Share now to help fight against anti-Israel bias in the media. 🔗 Read the full report at camera.org

Stunning failure by @bbcworldservice radio presenter Paul Henley to challenge a grossly antisemitic comment by his Iranian guest:
