Throughout the day, Monday, June 2, CNN ran the headline, “Dozens shot dead and injured near Gaza aid hub, health ministry and doctors say.” The story opened by accusing Israel of committing the massacres, citing “Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses,” before mentioning—almost as an afterthought—that Israel denied that its troops fired anywhere near the site.
Excellent article, but unfortunately it's like spitting in the wind. The Israel/Jew hatred is so ingrained that fact based articles such as this have zero impact.
Megyn Kelly is joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd, and Eliana Johnson, editor of the Washington Free Beacon, to discuss Nicolle Wallace's new podcast, she and Rachel Maddow laughing about fascism, MSNBC and CNN seeing massive cratering ratings, and more.
“This war is about whether civilised people can defend themselves against barbarians—even when those barbarians hide behind their own civilians. And many on the liberal side argue: “If defending ourselves means harming people who aren’t personally guilty, we can’t do it.” That’s exactly what the barbarians are counting on. Their main weapon is our values.
Hamas believed it could win—not because it was stronger, but because Gaza had become the most fortified place in history. Fortified not just with missiles and tunnels, but with CNN, The New York Times, the BBC, the courts in The Hague, Amnesty International—every institution dominated by the autocratic, dictatorial, or barbarian-majority world.
These institutions undermine democracy while pretending to defend it. When countries like Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Venezuela define “human rights” at the UN, the result is absurd.
So Hamas gained power through media, international courts, and ideological corruption. We, on the other hand, became weaker because progressives prostituted liberalism.
If, in a war, we say: “Let’s try to reduce civilian casualties, even on the enemy side”—yes, that’s a good liberal instinct. But if we say: “The moment civilians are harmed, we must stop”—then we hand victory to the barbarians. Because they want civilians to be harmed—it’s their shield and their strategy.
If that’s our rule, then Western civilisation is finished.”
-Dr Dan Schueftan, a leading Israeli political scientist and national security expert
I’m watching two Middle East wars. Israel’s military war for survival and the propaganda war against her. Israel is winning their defensive war handily but losing the propaganda war badly. Why isn’t Israel, which is militarily, strategically, and morally superior, fighting the massive disinformation campaign by Hamas and the democrat-run media that demonizes the Jewish State?
I shared this FB link from the IDF page in my notes on June 1, 2025 showing hamas members shooting at gazans who were attempting to get food from trucks.. The IDF used drone footage. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16fEN3MSdg/
If the FB link dosnt work try this YOUTUBE link of the IDF
Facebook says that video is no longer available. Do you know if there is a problem with the link or is it being censored by Facebook? G_d forbid authentic video that contradicts the Anointed PR Narrative approved by FB's deep state handlers should be allowed to be seen.
That is odd I just checked the link - everything is fine - do you have a FB account? the video is covered due to the content ( shooting gazans) If you are still having issues - use the words below as "key words"
a day ago · Israel Defense Forces
🎥WATCH: Drone footage shows gunmen in Gaza shooting at civilians going to collect aid. Hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food in Gaza.
Thank you, Dr. Oren, for your moral clarity and eloquence. Amit Segal reported that security camera footage from the aid distribution site at the time of the alleged massacre was released. It clearly reveals that only was there no shooting, but IDF soldiers were prohibited from firing at armed men near the Salah a-Din Highway—because there were thousands of Gazans in their vicinity.
Michael - everything you say here is 100% correct. However, I think it's time to take it a step further. Just like there was a call for the unfunding of antisemitic educational institutions, here there should be call to boycott this network, this publication and any like it...
Don't advertise on it, don't subscribe to it and certainly don't watch or read it any longer.
Create a formal Blacklist of Antisemitic Media Networks, Platforms and Publications.
"It’s all of them. Worse than CNN. MSNBC, BBC, NPR, the CBC in Canada.
They are all doing the same thing."
Gee, if everybody is looking at Israel's actions in Gaza and seeing the same thing, then maybe you might want to take a hard look at yourself as to who is the real "demon".
OK, where were the IDF soldiers and the private U.S. security contractors in charge of secuity? Remember Gen. Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn warning: “If you break it, you own it.”
The International Criminal Court has already issued warrants against Israeli leaders for crimes against humanity. There are also new investigations under way on the current violence against civilians and the use of starvation as a weapon of war.
Yes, I and much of the rest of the world condemn Israel for its barbarism and if that makes me an “antisemite”, I wear the badge proudly.
Who cares what the Kangaroo ICC of the UN says! It has zero jurisdiction and say over Israel. You know zero history or the facts, and are simply a parrot for Hamas and its followers. “You and much of the rest of the world condemn barbarism” - what are you going to do about it? We don’t care. Take care, antisemite!
Thanks for literally describing the totality of Jewish history. It’s educational to see in real time how blood libels have been carefully cultivated and spread by various societies over the centuries.

“Future Tense: The New Antisemitism”
What is it & how do we deal with it?
1 November 2007
If you’ve ever wondered how millions of seemingly ordinary people could have enabled centuries of vicious anti Jewish persecution, through the first pre Israel Holocaust and culminating in the Oct 7 massacres and beyond, now you know.
Nothing of this is "new" the very same cast of characters including media outlets who demonize Israel today are the very same ones and their descendents who either collaborated or turned their heads as my grandparents and millions of others men,women and children were shot/burned alive and or later gassed from in the past 1800 years.
Yes, I have "wondered how millions of seemingly ordinary people could have enabled centuries of vicious anti-Jewish persecution" until I witnessed the crimes against humanity inflicted on civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. It seems it has something to do with the concept of Karma...
Jew haters are too stupid to understand that for centuries they continue to make the case for a strong Jewish state better than any Zionist ever could.
They sure do. What never seizes to surprise me is that such people are convinced in their self-righteousness. What we don’t hear from these thoughtful humanitarians or others who accuse Israel of genocide and/or of starving civilians on purpose, are calls for Hamas to surrender. Wouldn’t that solve the immediate “humanitarian” crisis? This is curious and quite remarkable, given that it is the surest and fastest way to stop the killing in Gaza, which purportedly is what is motivating such thinkers to condemn Israel.
No, the great irony is that the two remaining theocracies, Israel and Iran, are dragging the rest of the modern world into their madness. Centuries of bloodshed have shown that church and state do not mix. “Insanity is repeating an action expecting a different result.”
John, what are these networks’ media sources (ie hospital bombing months ago, killing 9 children of the 38 yo Arab pediatrician, shooting Arabs at a food distribution center?) From where do these reports come from? Any independent journalists working freely in Gaza
These reports come from independent sources since the Israeli government had declared a news blackout in the region.
Israel is losing the information war because it doesn't realize anyone with a cellphone is now a news reporter. We're being told "not to believe our lying eyes," but some things cannot be unseen.
The world is watching, and the condemnation is growing daily. As the wise Jew, Albert Einstein, quipped: "Insanity is repeating an action and expecting a different result."
Matt- the guy is so wrong. He doesn’t even know how much he doesn’t know. And trusts completely corrupt institutions. And believes media report accurately, and without agenda or deliberate bias.
Mediabiasfactcheck.com finds Newsmax to be a pit of misinformation and conspiracy theories.
“We rate Newsmax Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience as well as numerous failed fact checks.”
They prefer the activism taught by the universities that sold out to Qatar!!! Columbia School of Journalism for one! Also MSNBC putting Netanyahu in the same bucket as Putin, when Israel faces an existential threat against Iran and Putin is leading an existential threat against Ukraine! Totally irresponsible "journalism??"!The world is on its head where everything is for sale, and the thirst for a Nobel Peace Prize takes priority over the only way to achieve real and lasting peace over EVIL!!
I am surprised how many people around me hate Israel. I live in a small, 2 college town, where every week there is a "free Palestine" roadside protest. I am amazed by how many people show up. Whenever I ask people why they support the "Palestinian" cause, not one of them can explain it to me. Not only what is currently occuring, but the history of the region. Ignorance abounds, and it is frightening.
Always on point, Michael. I look forward to the day when the mainstream media implodes. They are sowing the seeds of the destruction of Western civilization. To be replaced with what? Thuggery? Fratricide? Civil war? Sharia law?
It’s mind boggling that the Gaza health authority is considered a reliable source. I do have a question: I heard on CNN that Israel prohibits journalists from entering into Gaza. Is that true?
It’s been well documented that in previous wars no press was allowed to report anything contrary to the official Hamas narrative. Google what happened to the Italian team who filmed Hamas firing rockets right outside their hotel room in 2014.
It makes sense that Hamas insists on controlling the narrative. But is it true that it is Israel that prevents the reporters from entering? Hamas is quite efficiently controlling the narrative now.
They would control it no matter what, as they have in all previous conflicts. Thats the nature of the beast.
Just imagine Hamas killing international reporters and blaming Israel, which they most certainly would do if given the chance.
Israel has allowed reporters embedded with troops. Even in these cases most of the strip is an active war zone, riddled with booby traps and tunnels - the largest built up terror state in the world.
Liora, it's not that I disagree with you, but still the fact remains that Israel prohibits reporters from entering Gaza. Here's an opinion from Haaretz: Israel Must Let International Journalists Into Gaza: Our Call as Foreign Press Association Members
Strange. Bret Stephens of The New York Times visited Gaza, and so did Douglas Murray. The Times of Israel reporters bring foreign correspondents when they go out in the Strip as well.
Huh. Would love to know for sure what the official policy is. It was Jared Diamond on CNN who said Israel does not permit journalists in Gaza. Would LOVE to know Michael Oren’s take!!!
Is it. I don't think it would change a thing to allow the press into the war zone. They would only turn up the heat when already the antisemitic reporting is on fire. Plus they might get in the way of Israel doing its work of winning the war.
I think it’s because they are not safe. The current set up allows our brave journalists to stay in boutique hotels and party in Tel Aviv while submitting Hamas reports of Israeli atrocities. I will admit though that it is much easier to speak truth to power when you are comfortable.
Excellent article, but unfortunately it's like spitting in the wind. The Israel/Jew hatred is so ingrained that fact based articles such as this have zero impact.
The evidence is conclusive. Israel committed 9/11 and falsely blamed the Muslims.
https://edwardnathanschwarz.substack.com/p/israel-perpetrated-911?r=5e930t
Plain idiocy!
Yeah, but must keep chipping away at the numerous misperceptions.
Yes and they just don't get the ridiculous reach that the Jew demonising articles get. It's soooo disturbing.
The media are terrible, so biased 😰

😂😂😂. Psycho
You have no reasoned rebuttal.
As of yesterday at 5:30 p.m. NPR was STILL peddling the blood libel/Palestinian narrative.
But our tax dollars should fund NPR as they help America commit suicide.

John- it’s all of them. Worse than CNN. MSNBC, BBC, NPR, the CBC in Canada.
They are all doing the same thing. Demonizing us in the same way- while trumpeting their spectacular‘journalistic standards’.
This extreme deviation from normal reporting standards. speaks to a much, much bigger problem.
Somewhere, somebody- or a small group, decided this would be the narrative.
It is so antithetical to media norms, I think we must look at it as a bigger issue altogether.
It’s a blood libel. It’s the Protocols.
That’s what I think is in play.
"It’s all of them. Worse than CNN. MSNBC, BBC, NPR, the CBC in Canada.
They are all doing the same thing."
Gee, if everybody is looking at Israel's actions in Gaza and seeing the same thing, then maybe you might want to take a hard look at yourself as to who is the real "demon".
Good ole antisemite. Look at the live footage, John (and again stfu!)
OK, where were the IDF soldiers and the private U.S. security contractors in charge of secuity? Remember Gen. Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn warning: “If you break it, you own it.”
Israel is engaged in war with Hamas in Gaza and is subject to international rules of war concerning civilian populations and surrendered military personnel. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-protection-civilian-persons-time-war
