Last weekend’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel served as an important reminder of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s fanaticism and desire to destroy Israel. Via its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the regime arms, funds and trains various terrorist groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hezbollah, and Ansar Allah, better known as the Houthis. The IRGC poses a deadly threat to Israel, and to stability across the Middle East, and it’s time that the news media call it for what it is: a terrorist organization under the control of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.

It has now been six months since Hamas’ genocidal October 7 massacre in southern Israel, where thousands of terrorists invaded the Jewish State, raping, torturing, murdering and kidnapping innocent Israelis. There are still 130 hostages being kept by Hamas in Gaza, suffering under almost certainly deplorable conditions. Don’t let the news media forget about them. Our Digital Director, Rick Firth, digs deeper...

While the current Hamas-Israel war may be the biggest story in the Middle East at the moment, there is another danger lurking. Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Islamic terrorist group which – like Hamas – is armed, financed and trained by Iran, is similarly committed to Israel’s destruction. But unlike Hamas, Hezbollah’s capabilities are far greater, posing a huge threat to Israel’s very existence. Since October 7, the group has fired thousands of rockets into Israel, killing innocent people and forcing 100,000 Israelis from their homes, turning them into refugees in their own country. It’s time the news media tell the world about the danger that Hezbollah poses to Israel.

Even as millions of people in Sudan suffer from a yearlong civil war which has killed tens of thousands, and created millions of refugees, the anti-Israel activists who claim to be humanitarians are silent because their pro-Palestinian activism is just a smokescreen to hide their anti-Israel hatred behind.

Hamas isn’t just a genocidal Islamic terrorist organization, it also habitually lies to Western audiences, but that hasn’t stopped news media outlets from gullibly repeating Hamas casualty claims, falsely presenting them as fact. But Hamas’ death toll claims aren’t fact, they’re wartime propaganda, and now, a professor of statistics has delved into Hamas’ own numbers to show them as being unreliable and statistically impossible. It’s time for the news media to stop dancing to Hamas’ tune.
