After Years Of Hostility, Turkey Moves Closer To Israel
For many years, Turkey and Israel enjoyed close relations. But with the 2008 Gaza war, and the Gaza flotilla, Ankara's leaders adopted a hardline anti-Israel position.
But a decade later, in the face of Israel's growing influence across the Middle East and beyond, Turkey has begun moving towards renewed closeness with Israel. No matter how hard BDS activists try and isolate Israel, the Jewish State keeps proving that it's indispensable to the rest of the world.

Orthodox Israeli City Honours Israeli-Arab Christian Hero Murdered By Palestinian Terrorist
On March 29, a 26-year-old Palestinian terrorist entered the Israeli City of Bnei Brak, with its overwhelmingly religious Jewish population, and opened fire, killing five innocent people.
One of the victims was an Israeli-Arab Christian named Amir Khoury, who died trying to arrest the terrorist. Now, Bnei Brak is honouring Khoury’s memory, showing that solidarity is more powerful than anti-Israel hate.

Palestinian Extremists Desecrate Al Aqsa Mosque - Where is the Outrage?
In mid-April, as the holidays of Passover, Easter and Ramadan coincided, faithful across Israel celebrated these three festivals in peace, enjoying the freedom of religion guaranteed by Israel.
But in Jerusalem, the Al Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third-holiest site which was built atop the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, saw Palestinian extremists turn the location into a staging ground for violence. Video footage showed Palestinian rioters stockpiling rocks and firebombs inside the mosque, and engaging in violence against Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall below and at Israeli police who were attempting to remove the weapons, stop the riot and restore peace.

Israel's Foreign Minister Visits Jerusalem - Palestinians Resort to Rejectionism
Yair Lapid, Israel's Foreign Minister, recently visited Jerusalem's Damascus Gate, in the municipality's Old City, for a security tour with local police officials. Although all of Jerusalem remains in sovereign Israeli control, as soon as Lapid's visit became public, the Palestinian leadership immediately condemned the move.
This knee-jerk condemnation, by both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA), is ongoing evidence of the Palestinian leadership's refusal to accept Israel's right to exist in its sovereign capital city, where Jews first established their capital three thousand years ago.

“Globalize The Intifada” Means “Kill The Jews”
During the 2021 Hamas war against Israel, anti-Israel protesters called for Intifada against Israel, and some even called to “Globalize the Intifada.” The Intifada, an Arabic word for uprising, was a violent multi-year terror campaign against the Jewish State which claimed a thousand innocent Israeli lives.
Now, as more Islamist terror attacks happen in Israel, killing 14 innocent civilians, is this what the protesters calling for intifada wanted?

Singapore’s Opening An Embassy In Israel Repudiates Claims That The Jewish State Is Isolated
After more than 50 years of diplomatic relations, the tiny Asian city-state of Singapore has announced it will be opening an embassy in Israel for the very first time.
Singapore’s announcement is just the latest in a string of countries in recent years to announce new or expanded relationships with Israel, demonstrating that as much as the media and BDS’ers claim that Israel is isolated, the Jewish state continues to thrive and to expand its relations with the international community.

In A Defeat For BDS, Israel Has Become A Peacemaking Heavyweight Between Ukraine & Russia
As the war in Ukraine continues, major powers like the United States, France, Germany and others are working feverishly to try to end the fighting.
But in a major blow for the BDS movement, perhaps the most critical linchpin of all the countries is Israel. The country’s prime minister, Naftali Bennett, has frequently spoken with leaders of both Russia & Ukraine, and the Jewish State has become integral to ongoing negotiations.

As Ukrainian Refugees Seek Safety, Tiny Israel Opens Its Doors
In the weeks since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an estimated three million Ukrainian refugees have fled the country, seeking safety elsewhere. And while neighbouring states in Europe have offered temporary refuge to these civilians, Israel, a country roughly two thousand kilometres from Kiev, Ukraine's capital, is in the process of admitting thousands into the tiny country.
Although the media may not share this story, it's a powerful example of how Israel is a small country with a big heart.

As Social Media Giants Clamp Down on Russia, They Must Follow Suit With Iran's Regime of Hate
In recent weeks, as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have taken punitive measures against media outlets connected to Russia's government, including Russia Today. Last year, in the wake of the January 6 Capitol Hill riots in the United States, Twitter and Facebook banned Donald Trump and QAnon accounts for misinformation.
But these same social media companies continue to give a free pass to the unchecked hate and propaganda emanating from the Islamic Republic of Iran, including both state media outlets and individuals connected to the regime itself. Why are social media giants turning a blind eye to Iran's hateful rhetoric? Enough is enough!

United Nations Human Rights Council Launches Kangaroo Court Against Israel
The United Nations Human Rights Council, a notoriously anti-Israel body, recently announced it was forming a special commission to investigate alleged war crimes during the last war between Israel and Hamas terrorists.
The commission will be spearheaded by Navi Pillay, a vocal anti-Israel advocate and past leader of the Council, and the commission's findings seem all but guaranteed.
Israel announced it would refuse to participate in this charade, and the news media should now be recognizing the Jewish state's moral move.

Exposing Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas' Doublespeak
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, by preaching peace to global audiences, all while inciting hatred and violence against Israelis when speaking primarily to Palestinian and other friendly audiences.
As long as Abbas continues to preach hate towards Israel and Jews, peace will continue to be as elusive as ever. When will the news media report the true face of Mahmoud Abbas?

Whoopi Goldberg's Holocaust Comments: Why Are They So Problematic?
In a recent episode of The View, actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg made some eyebrow-raising comments about the Holocaust, saying that the murder of six million Jews was "not about race."
Though she faced significant backlash, including a two-week suspension from the television program, Whoopi's ignorant comments reveal the extent to which millions of people simply don't understand the basics of antisemitism.

Hamas expels Palestinians from their homes in Gaza: Media AWOL
Last spring, a property dispute in Jerusalem flared into open conflict. A group of Palestinian-Arabs in Jerusalem, who refused to pay rent to their Jewish landlords, became heroes in some quarters, and anti-Israel activists accused the Jewish State of attempting to expel these squatters. This allegation spread around the world, and helped to spur Hamas' war against Israel.
But just a few weeks ago, Hamas bulldozed the homes of dozens of Palestinian families, rendering their inhabitants homeless, all to create a new commercial area, the world media barely reported it. When false allegations against Israel easily spread around the world, why are real examples of Palestinians being evicted by Hamas going unreported?

Iran-Funded Houthi Terror Group Attacks UAE; Where's The News Coverage?
In January, Houthi terrorists, backed and funded by the Islamic Republic of Iran, fired missiles into Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, killing three civilians.
The attack was only the latest salvo by the Houthis, but the minimal news coverage of the event means that Iran's terror funding will go ignored and the regime in Tehran will face few consequences for its nefarious actions.

Exposed: The Dark Anti-Israel Side of Desmond Tutu The Media Never Reported
On December 26, 2021, Desmond Tutu died. The South African archbishop became well known for his laudable opposition to apartheid in his homeland, and received recognition for these efforts. Unfortunately, he was also a vicious opponent of Israel's, and even made antisemitic statements.
While the media is justified in recognizing the positive aspects of Tutu's work, his anti-Israel agenda severely tarnishes his legacy, and as uncomfortable as it may be, the media should not shy away from telling the full story of Desmond Tutu.

Jew Beaten In NYC Assault For Daring To Wear Pro-Israel Sweater
Recently, two Jews were viciously beaten in New York City because one of them was wearing an Israel Defense Forces sweater.
Lest there be any doubt that the motivations were antisemitic, anti-Jewish slurs were made at the victims during the assault. Despite the cries of critics, when Jews are assaulted for daring to express their affiliation with Israel, it's antisemitism, pure and simple.

Why Does The World's Lone Jewish State Face So Much Hatred?
In a world of nearly 8 billion people, and more than 200 countries, the only Jewish state, with a small population, attracts condemnation and hate immensely disproportionate to its size, but why?
None of the accusations made against Israel can justify this outsized hatred, and it's time for the media to stand up and say so.

Time Magazine Gives Cover to Anti-Israel Propaganda Photo In Its Top 100 Photos of 2021 Issue
2021 had no shortage of major news stories, whether the insurrection of the U.S. capitol in Washington, the ongoing Covid pandemic, or the American pullout from Afghanistan, but despite these major news stories, a recent Time Magazine issue profiling 100 top news photos of the year, featured on its front cover a likely staged anti-Israel image propaganda image. In fact, three of the 100 images selected by Time Magazine editors were anti-Israel.
In a year of so many important news stories, it was shameful that Time Magazine chose to single Israel out for exclusive censure and condemnation.

Israel Stops Syria From Acquiring Chemical Weapons But Receives No Plaudits From Media
A recent Washington Post article reported that in 2020 and 2021, Israel had carried out a number of air strikes on Syrian chemical weapons sites, which effectively stopped Bashar Assad's regime from acquiring chemical weapons. It did the same in 2007, when it destroyed a nascent Syrian nuclear reactor.
And although Israel receives no recognition for its actions, the reality is that thanks to the Jewish State, both Israelis and Syrians are safer as a result of the Assad regime being denied chemical weapons.

Saturday Night Live's Michael Che Obsesses Over Israel Once Again
Only a few months after tacitly accusing Israel of providing Covid vaccines only to its Jewish population, Michael Che of Saturday Night Live (SNL) is at it again. In a recent episode, Che made a snide comment about Jews, once again under the pretense of humour, claiming that Jewish people in Israel can't make wine.
Saturday Night Live: unlike award-winning Israeli wines, leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Iran Brutally Tortures And Oppresses Its Own People, Will The Media Report It?
When a recent video hack revealed widespread torture at an Iranian prison, Iranian officials wasted no time in speaking out against the incident.
For decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran has used torture with brutal effectiveness against its own people and to intimidate its population into silence. Will the news media report this incident as having been isolated or as being systemic and reflective of the true face of the Iranian regime?

U of T Scarborough Students' Union Wages War Of Assimilation On Jewish Students
Two thousand years ago, the Syrian Greek Empire attempted to assimilate the Jewish people in Israel.
Today, as we mark the final day of Chanukah, the students' union at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, attempted a similar battle when it passed a motion banning kosher caterers unless they were anti Israel.
Find out why this effort was rife with bigotry and Jew hatred.

Jerusalem Remains Israel’s Capital, Contrary To U.S. Plans To Open A Consulate For Palestinians
Only four years after moving its embassy to Jerusalem, the U.S. is now looking to open a consulate serving the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem, which Israel views as an effective slap in the face.
While Israel says it will not allow such an effort to undermine its legitimacy in its eternal and undivided capital, in reality, the move is a highly significant attack on Israel’s claims to the holy city and it serves to prejudge a final status issue that the parties must negotiate.

The Facts Behind Israel's Designating Six Palestinian NGO's as Terror Groups
Recently, Israel blacklisted six Palestinian NGO's for their connections to terrorism, accused them of funneling foreign aid to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a proscribed terror group which has murdered innocent Israelis.
Instead of lauding Israel for the move, much of the international media has issued condemnations alleging that the Jewish state was attempting to quash dissent instead of daring to defend its citizens from terror attacks.

Palestinian Textbooks Continue Peddling Antisemitic Hate, Will Canadian Media Take Notice?
For years, anti-Israel and antisemitic content has filled Palestinian school textbooks, even earning a harsh rebuke from the European Union (EU) Parliament this past April, but despite the criticism, little seems to have changed.
Palestinian textbooks, which demonize Israel and Jews are a major obstacle to peace, and are effectively child abuse, harming both Palestinians and Israelis, but will the Canadian media report on it?
