Andrew Fox: The parroting of Hamas propaganda is an ethical crisis for journalism
This shameful and irresponsible media bias emboldens antisemitic conspiracies and justifies hostility toward Jewish individuals and communities, conflating criticism of Israeli policies with outright bigotry. The surge in antisemitic attacks worldwide underscores the dangerous real-world consequences of disseminating unverified figures that paint an incomplete picture of the conflict.

Accurate fatality data is not just an academic exercise — it is essential for fair reporting and policy-making regarding Israel. International humanitarian law acknowledges civilian harm as an inevitable consequence of war, provided efforts are made to minimise it. However, by inflating the proportion of civilian casualties, Hamas has manipulated perceptions to vilify Israel on the global stage. This tactic not only undermines Israel’s right to self-defence. It also obscures the role of Hamas in exacerbating civilian suffering through their deliberate strategy of the human sacrifice of Gaza’s civilian population.

The irresponsible reporting of fatality statistics also erodes trust in journalism, a cornerstone of democratic societies. The media’s uncritical acceptance of MoH data, combined with its reluctance to challenge Hamas’ propaganda, reveals a failure to uphold basic journalist standards of accuracy and impartiality. This negligence allows Hamas to weaponise casualty figures as a tool of psychological and political warfare.

The responsibility to counter disinformation lies with the global media. We hope this report serves as a wake-up call to journalists and editors who must exercise greater diligence in verifying sources, especially in conflict zones. Failing to do so risks perpetuating false narratives with devastating consequences for public trust and global stability.

By taking Hamas’ numbers at face value, the media undermines its credibility and amplifies a biased narrative that distorts the realities on the ground. Journalists must scrutinise all sources of data with equal rigour, ensuring that the public receives an accurate, nuanced understanding of conflicts like the one in Gaza.

The misreporting of Gaza’s fatality figures is more than a journalistic failure; it is an ethical crisis that has fuelled global antisemitism and polarised international discourse. Our report is a vital reminder that truth is the first casualty of war, and it falls to the media to guard it zealously. In a world increasingly shaped by disinformation, upholding journalistic integrity is not just a professional duty — it is a moral imperative. After 14 months of antisemitism sparked by irresponsible reporting of the war in Gaza, the Jewish community in the UK knows that better than anyone.
Seth Mandel: The Most Important Revelation About Gaza Casualties
From April to August of this year, the report states that, according to Hamas hospital numbers, 45 percent of those killed were men and 37 percent were children. According to the more reliable family reports, men were 64 percent of casualties and children were 22 percent.

Except, “children” generally means under 18 and Hamas has been known to tweak it to 19. Which means we know for a fact a chunk of that 22 percent were combatants. Some of those combatants were children, some weren’t. The fact that Hamas uses child soldiers actually benefited the terror group in the media narrative, because the numbers never distinguish between civilians and combatants, and news consumers don’t read “children” and assume “combatants.” The press was broadly complicit in normalizing and incentivizing the use of child soldiers, a fact that should stain many reputations forever.

But wait, there’s more. The report notes that Hamas—and thus the press—includes natural deaths in the casualty count. There were more than 5,000 natural deaths in that time, by conservative estimate.

But wait, there’s even more. A review of the first 1,000 names on Hamas’s casualty list between the beginning of the war and the summertime found more than 100—that is, 10 percent—had their ages revised downward. In other words, between the time that Hamas numbers could be plausibly verified and the more recent counts, lots of people suddenly became “children.”

But wait, there’s still more. Gaza casualty numbers include those killed by Hamas or other Palestinian armed groups. Remember the al-Ahli hospital blast that was reported initially as a Israel’s fault, only to become clear soon after that it was an errant Palestinian rocket (likely from Palestinian Islamic Jihad)? Those deaths still get reported today by the press as caused by Israel because they are included in the casualty numbers—as are, if you can believe it, all Gazans murdered by Hamas security forces during the war.

But wait, there still even more. Cancer patients, the report shows, were listed as war fatalities by Hamas while still also being listed as alive and receiving treatment in Israel or some other treatment center outside Gaza.

Two main conclusions. First, once you drop the natural deaths, approximate the numbers of those killed by Hamas or other Palestinian groups, and adjust the demographic numbers to fit the actual family reports, you end up with about as many militants killed as civilians. In an urban environment with the Hamas soldiers stationed among civilians, this means Israel’s civilian-combatant ratio is not just low but unheard of.

Second, much of the reporting and commentary has framed this war as a “war on Palestinian children.” It’s a convenient reanimation of a classic blood libel, and it is demonstrably a lie. I don’t think anyone using the “Israel is murdering Palestinian children” talking point was ever interested in statistical accuracy, but it is important that the rest of society is aware of the level of deception being practiced by those who propagate it.
Those who put trust in the Hamas casualty figures should hang their heads in shame
The vast majority of broadcasters, news sites and newspapers ought to hang their heads in shame. Of 1,378 articles published over a four month period in spring 2024 in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, CNN, the BBC, Reuters, the Associated Press and the Australian ABC, a full 84 per cent did not bother to distinguish between civilian and combatant deaths, Fox found.

A shockingly low 5 over cent of publications released any numbers from the Israelis, while 98 per cent – basically all – exclusively published the Hamas Ministry of Health figures.

The sheer force of the need to paint Israel as targeting civilians has been overwhelming. Trying to go against this need with the small sounds of sanity has inevitably been painful and confrontational. Some of those who lost their hats over my insistence that, while all civilian deaths in Gaza were tragedies, the IDF was not baying for the blood of innocents, may have been infected with anti-Semitism.

But most were just consumers of the news from sources they ought to have been able to trust. These sources, which Fox suggests were incorrect, not only let their readers, listeners and viewers down, but have viciously pursued the deepest embedding of fake history that Europe and the Anglosphere has seen since the propaganda tools of the Nazi and Soviet regimes.


How Hamas fooled the media: A neuroscientist’s view
The terrorists exploit Western values by weaponising our emotional empathy. Through graphic imagery and tales of victimhood, they provoke “pain empathy”, the visceral emotional reaction to witnessing suffering. Our brains are wired to respond more deeply to the image of a single suffering child than to statistics about millions of people, a phenomenon known as the “identifiable victim effect”. Studies reveal that small charities can raise more money than bigger ones simply by showcasing such poignant imagery. These images involuntarily affect our brain functioning. With exposure to these images, we respond with emotional empathy. The more emotionally empathic we already are, the more vulnerable we are to its weaponisation.

Hamas and its sympathisers skilfully exploit pain-empathy circuits in the brain, flooding the media with real or manipulated images of dead children, even misrepresenting gruesome scenes from other wars – including the Shoah in cases of “Holocaust inversion” – as Palestinian casualties of Israel. Terror leaders have openly stated that higher death tolls benefit their cause. They work to increase civilian casualties by broadcasting messages in mosques and on social media, instructing Gazans to ignore Israeli evacuation warnings, and by physically blocking evacuations through roadblocks or even shooting those attempting to flee. In a blatant display of its anti-humanitarian values, Hamas increases civilian casualties in order to weaponise Western pain-empathy to gain support for their agenda.

But while the militants centre their narrative around victimhood to promote pain-empathy in Western audiences, they simultaneously promote a narrative as victor to excite their base. For example, militant propagandists sent the Western media images of Gazan suffering, while Hamas broadcast GoPro videos of torture and murder to their supporters to invigorate them. They highlighted their victimhood and suffering under the “occupation” of the “colonisers”. They played it brilliantly.

During the 2008 war in Gaza, the international media focused on gruesome and graphic coverage of casualties, sometimes called “war porn”, and transformed a complex conflict into a global emotional spectacle. CNN and the BBC amplified sympathy for Hamas, illustrating the devastating effectiveness of such psychological strategies.

While emotional empathy fosters connectedness, it can also have negative consequences, such as lying to benefit our group, prioritising our group’s interests over principles of justice and connecting so much to another group’s priorities that our empathy is self-destructive.

The ability to truly empathise – combining emotional resonance with cognitive understanding – requires a nuanced, fact-based model of others’ motivations. Without this balance, our empathy becomes a tool for manipulation. What can we do? We must refine our cognitive frameworks to resist propaganda, anchoring our emotional responses in accurate understanding. While individual stories of suffering evoke deep empathy, they must be rescaled to reflect the true scope of the issue. Similarly, the compelling imagery of “blazer-wearing” revolutionaries for peace must be critically examined within the broader context of extremist violence and manipulation.


The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Approach: Why Not Put the Palestinian Homeland in Syria?
Lots of marriages work this way, especially financially. In an ideal world, so does the business you own — because, when the whole is less than the sum of its parts, it means you’re overpaying for talent.

It’s an inefficient business model.

Today in the Middle East, there are two potential combinations: The Palestinian people… and all that empty land in Syria. The Palestinian people need a country. Syria doesn’t have one anymore.

“You got Palestinians in my Syria!”

“You got Syria on my Palestinians!”

Why not put these two great tastes together — and make the new Palestinian homeland in Syria?

Jordan and Egypt won’t allow the Palestinians in, because the last time they did, they tried to overthrow the government. Well, good news: In Syria, the government’s already been overthrown!

It’s perfect.

Plus, with all those bombs and missiles that’ve exploded, there are probably lots of large holes in the ground. That would make it easier for the Palestinians to build those underground tunnels they’re so fond of: Most of the digging’s already been done.

The Jewish population in Syria is basically zero — and since we all know it’s those pesky Jews’ fault that the Palestinians haven’t been successful (ask any Democrat under the age of 40 and they’ll tell you), in Jew-free Syria, the Palestinians will surely create an ultra-successful modern economy, replete with all kinds of well-paying, hi-tech jobs.

Why, within a few years, thousands of Americans will be begging to work in the Syrian tech sector.

Think of all the tourism possibilities: They could counterprogram Octoberfest with Jihad January. Or counter Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls with the Running of the Tanks.

Fun for the who family! (No beepers allowed.)

Maybe our U.S.-based “Queers for Palestine” members will relocate to Syria and run their diversity training seminars. I’m sure the Palestinians would be highly appreciative. (They seem very receptive to new ideas.)

So move the Palestinians to Syria, give ‘em a new homeland, and let’s FINALLY bring peace to the Middle East!

Once again, candy shows us the way. After all, if it can bring construction workers and white collar nerds together, who knows what else it can do:
No, Israel is not ‘colonising’ Syria
‘Why do snakes bite? Why do birds sing? It’s the nature of things. It’s the nature of Israel.’ That was the response of Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, when questioned about the motivation for Israel’s recent extensive air assault on Syria.

A serious commentator would have looked at the radically new geopolitical context for Israel’s intervention in its eastern neighbour. As the whole world surely now knows, a coalition of rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former al-Qaeda affiliate, overthrew Bashar al-Assad’s brutal Syrian regime in a 10-day offensive earlier this month. This meant that Israel was suddenly facing the prospect of a state governed by violent Islamists on its border – indeed, HTS is also officially designated as a terrorist group by the US government.

In response, Israel mounted a massive aerial assault to destroy the chemical weapons, aircraft, missile depots and warships of the former Syrian government – military resources that Assad had used to kill hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians. The last thing Israel would want is for Assad’s Islamist topplers to turn this armoury on the Israeli population. Israel has also sent troops into the buffer zone between itself and Syria in the Golan Heights, and probably beyond.

Yet Bishara, a leading figure for an international media network, ignored these obvious factors. He dismissed the possibility that Israel could be acting to defend itself, and ranted instead about how Israel has supposedly been waging war since its inception in 1948. Because, apparently, it’s in Israel’s ‘nature’ to be a warmongering aggressor. The fact that throughout its existence Israel has actually been responding to attacks and threats from its neighbours was entirely absent from this account.

Bishara is far from alone in seeing Israel’s intervention in Syria as an expression of its supposedly evil nature. A writer for Mondoweiss, an influential anti-Israel publication, also presents Israel’s intervention in Syria as the act of a regional aggressor. Apparently, Israel wants to ‘take strategic land, render Syria defenceless for the future and redraw the political map of the Middle East’.

Likewise, Guardian columnist Owen Jones argues that Israel is exploiting Assad’s fall to redraw the regional map to its advantage. In a video, Jones proclaims that ‘Israel has invaded Syria in a blatant act of illegal aggression… for the transparent reason of annexing yet more land’. Again, the fact that Israel might perceive an Islamist movement on its borders as a plausible threat is quickly dismissed. Clearly, Jones has a short memory when it comes to Islamist terrorist attacks on Israel.

Israel Is Eliminating the Chances a Post-Assad Syria Will Pose a Threat to Anyone
Yoav Limor explains what the IDF has been up to in Syria:
The Israeli Air Force’s freedom to operate over Syrian and Lebanese airspace enabled it to strike any target, with all squadrons participating in the continuous campaign. Israel effectively leveraged its extensive intelligence on the Syrian military, consolidating years of data from tens of thousands of man-hours into a massive operation designed to leave the rebels with little more than “pickup trucks and submachine guns,” as one senior official put it.

However, this operational success comes with a sobering reality: nothing is over in Syria—in fact, it’s only beginning. Although the country has been drastically weakened, no one knows who will govern it, which territories they will control, or their intentions.

Amos Yadlin addresses the specific activities of Israel’s ground forces:
After the 7th of October 2023, Israel decided that there will be no terror organization on its border with the capability to launch an attack within hours. And Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which just toppled the Assad regime, demonstrated its ability to emulate Hamas with a surprise attack from a point of zero distance to the border. So, Israel is making sure that this buffer zone will not be taken by terrorists. When Israel will see that there is an accountable regime in Syria, a regime committed to the 1974 [separation of forces] agreement, it will withdraw back to the lines where it started from.

The UN secretary-general announced that he is “concerned” about Israel’s activities in Syria—suggesting he is unconcerned about the fate of religious minorities in the country, the discovery of mass graves and concentration camps, or Turkish bombardment in the north—and has been joined by the usual suspects. Instead, writes Clifford May, these representatives of the so-called international community should be congratulating Israel for what it has accomplished in Syria during the past week.
Daniel Greenfield: Everything in the Middle East Means the Opposite
After saving Syria from Assad, who will save it from the saviors?
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is going on a tour to persuade the Turks and their Jihadis to establish an "inclusive" government in Syria. But inclusivity now means Sunni Jihadis, backed by Turkey, repressing and killing everyone else. This will be a fundamental liberating change from the old order, in which Shiite Jihadis, backed by Iran, repressed and killed everyone else.

Turkey bombing and displacing Kurds in Syria is considered "inclusivity", but Israel bombing Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon is termed "genocide".

"Genocide" is another of those many words that have different meanings in the New Middle East Dictionary. Amnesty International has come under fire for changing the definition of "genocide" in order to be able to accuse Israel of it.

War becomes genocide. But only in the case of Israel. Meanwhile, actual genocidal efforts by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and by Turkey in Syria to target ethnic groups, are redefined as "liberation".

Over 1 million tons of food have entered Gaza since October 7, 2023. That's half a ton for every terrorist supporter. Half a ton of food for every man, woman and child is... "starvation."

The Arab Spring redefined Islamist takeovers as "democracy movements".

When Muslim Jihadis commit genocide, it becomes liberation. And when anyone fights back against them, it's genocide.

Redefinition makes everything in the Middle East factually opposite, to make it morally opposite.
Turkey's Syrian Jihadists Take Over Syria: Kurds, Half a Million Christians Under Intolerable Threat
A former branch of Al Qaeda, in 2018, HTS [Hayat Tahrir al-Sham] was officially designated a terrorist organization by the US government. HTS, which cooperates with the Turkish military and Turkish-backed groups in Syria, is committed to establishing an Islamist state across Syria, at least for a start.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Al-Jolani are now making all sorts of human-rightsy promises that they know the West likes to hear – just as Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini did before he took over Iran, and as the Taliban did before they quickly demolished 20 years of US human rights progress in Afghanistan.

Just as Iran is the Shiite "head of the octopus" whose tentacles consist of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other assorted militias, so Erdogan is the Sunni "head of the octopus" in Syria. While everyone is busy staring at rival terrorist groups in Syria, it is crucial not to forget for a minute the country backing them: Turkey.

Erdogan's dream has always been "the liberation of Jerusalem".... A Sunni jihadi Syria provides a conveniently straight path to fulfill that long-term dream.
Annexation in the West Bank? 'Not now,' Trump signals
US President-elect Donald Trump made it clear in private conversations that annexation of areas in the West Bank is “off the table,” people familiar with the matter indicated Sunday.

The Jerusalem Post has learned that senior Republican officials have cautioned Israel against pursuing annexation as Trump prepares to take office on January 20.

“This would be a mistake,” one of the Republican officials was quoted as saying. “Israel is in a difficult international situation, and such a move will only do damage.”

Trump and his Republican allies are prioritizing other Middle East objectives, including reviving the Abraham Accords, securing normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and maintaining pressure on Iran, the sources said. Trump believes that focusing on annexation could detract from these broader strategic goals, they said.

In recent weeks, calls for annexation have intensified. Several coalition members, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have reignited the debate.

“2025 will be the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria,” Smotrich said recently.

The annexation issue gained momentum in 2020 when Trump unveiled his peace plan. It allocated 30% of the West Bank for annexation by Israel, while the remaining 70% was left as a basis for future peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

At the time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s advisers were prepared to bring the matter to a vote in the government. Significant pressure from senior adviser Jared Kushner led Trump to pause the initiative.


Trump weighing military action against Iran’s nuclear program
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is weighing two main options to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, including preventative airstrikes, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing four people familiar with the plans.

The military option was under “more serious review” in the wake of the collapse of Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria and Israel’s decapitation of Hezbollah’s leadership in Lebanon, according to the report.

The first option, the WSJ stressed, involves increased U.S. military pressure on Iran, and the selling of advanced weapons to Jerusalem, such as bunker-busting bombs, that would enhance its capacity to hit Tehran’s formidable nuclear facilities, some of which are reportedly located deep underground.

The alternative involves American conflict with the Islamic Republic, directly threatening the Iranian ayatollahs with the military force. According to the WSJ, the administration would seek a diplomatic solution before resorting to force. Trump’s Iran policy during his first term focused on economic sanctions.

All plans were in the early stages, the report added.

“Anything can happen,” Trump said in an interview with Time on Thursday when asked about war with Iran. “It’s a very volatile situation.”

During Trump’s recent electoral campaign, he was informed by U.S. intelligence officials about an Iranian plot to assassinate him.


Why Trump Deserves the Nobel Prize
In the days following the October 7th Massacre, many wondered why Hamas had taken the decision to launch such an attack on Israel at that very moment.

The answer is that it was an attempt to sabotage the Abraham Accords.

The Visegrad24 traveled to Israel to find out more about the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements brokered by Donald Trump and signed by Israel and a number of Arab states in 2020 in the hope of finally achieving peace in the Middle East

The Accords, establishing or normalizing relations between an Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan marked a historic shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics.

It looked as if Saudi Arabia would become the next state to join the Accords. It was something Hamas was desperate to stop. They believed the best way to do it would be to attack Israel to rile up the general public in the Arab world against Israel and the Accords.

Hamas is closely tied to Iran, a state in which the regime is vehemently opposed to normalized relations between Israel and the Muslim world.

For Iran, the Abraham Accords represented a significant strategic setback. They consolidated a regional coalition of nations aligned with Israel and the U.S., effectively countering Iran’s influence in the Middle East while also undermining Iran’s long-standing narrative that Israel is an isolated state in the region, isolating Iran and weakening Tehran’s ability to position itself as the leader of the anti-Israel resistance.

With Trump returning to the White House in 2025, the world now wonders how he will tackle Iran and its nuclear weapons programe. The questions is also whether he will be able to continue his work with the Abraham Accords, bringing on Saudi Arabia and finally create peace in the Middle East


Seth Mandel: The Talented Mr. Boulos
Boulos has been portrayed as a wealthy business tycoon. In October, the New York Times described him as the “chief executive of a multibillion-dollar automotive manufacturing and distribution company in Nigeria.” That was in line with how the press had generally introduced him to readers.

But now the Times is out with a new piece, the result of dogged reporting into Boulos’s businesses. It turns out Boulos is not exactly who he allows himself to be portrayed as in the media.

For starters, the automotive company is his father-in-law’s, and Boulos’s role seems to be “selling trucks and heavy machinery.” The Times reports that the company made a profit of $66,000 last year. The dealership is worth $865,000 in its entirety.

Then there’s Boulos Enterprises, which the Financial Times reported that Boulos “runs” and which “deals in the distribution and assembly of motorcycles, tricycles and power bikes.” After the Times raised questions about his role there, Boulos “confirmed that he has no relationship with Boulos Enterprises.” His other businesses in Nigeria, according to records seen by the Times, include “a restaurant, some inactive construction companies and … Tantra Beverages, a now-defunct company that was set up to sell an ‘erotic drink.’”

Boulos today told the Times that the family’s wealth primarily comes from his wife’s side.

The Times investigation was limited to Boulos’s business history. But his connections in the Arab world come from politics. As the FT had reported, his father was mayor of the Lebanese town Boulos was born in, and his great-uncle was in parliament.

Boulos tried his hand in politics as well, though he has denied running for Lebanese parliament. According to the progressive Century Foundation’s Aron Lund: “After digging into the matter, it seems he’s both right and wrong.”

The crux of the complicated story is that Boulos, allied with a pro-Syria/Hezbollah party, launched a campaign in 2005 but quickly withdrew his candidacy. In 2009, the party leader passed over Boulos in favor of a local rival. Boulos threw his support to the anti-Syrian side. Boulos is now an ally of Suleiman Frangiyeh, a presidential contender in the Syria/Hezbollah orbit.

Boulos appears to be an opportunist above all. That might quiet concerns about his pro-Hezbollah political ties; now that Hezbollah (like its patron Iran) has been weakened and Bashar al-Assad has fallen, Boulos is more likely to follow the strong horse. At the same time, Boulos until recently clearly still had Lebanese political ambitions.

What does that mean for Trump’s Mideast policy? The details of Lebanese parliamentary politics are meaningless to Trump; he cares about the topline. He wants the Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire to hold and be followed by an Israel-Hamas cease-fire, not least because he saw how Biden’s term was swallowed by the war. Boulos’s contacts may help him in that regard, but giving Boulos himself anything more than a bit part will almost certainly backfire. Boulos’s campaign role was low risk and high reward. A White House role of any real substance would be the opposite.
Israel's Biggest Enemy: How Netanyahu Is Thanked for Disabling Iran, Terrorist Groups
[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] has not earned the title "The Churchill of the Middle East" for nothing.

What is lethal for the country is that the judges ruled that Netanyahu must appear in court three times a week for at least six consecutive hours each time. All this when the prime minister is preoccupied with the multi-front war against Israel by Iran, its terror proxies, and now Turkey, which no doubt sees its proxy-invasion of Syria as a pathway to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's long-term dream to "liberate Jerusalem from the Jews."

Some might view this judicial escapade, in cases of trumped-up charges, as political payback for Netanyahu's having tried to reform the judicial system after he was last re-elected in 2022. The judicial reforms are desperately needed, but would diminish the absolute power that Supreme Court judges arrogated to themselves starting in the 1990s, and which they appear autocratically determined to keep.

Do these seemingly vindictive judges really think that Netanyahu's cigars and champagne are not more important than Israel's war against Iran's "Axis of Resistance"?

There is no reason for the prime minister to spend several hours a day in court now, when Israel is at war and he is successfully protecting his people from enemies seeking his country's destruction and the murder of all Jews.

Do these judges actually want Israel to lose the war just so they can keep their absolute power?
Caroline Glick: Israel’s Elite Open ANOTHER Front Against Israel’s Voters
"If you can’t beat them, sue them..." or so seems the modus operandi of Israel’s legal elite.

Kassy Akiva: UN Watchdog Encourages Trump Admin To Demand Resignation Of Top UN Human Rights Official
A top United Nations watchdog is encouraging Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), to push for the resignation of a top human rights official who has given a pass to some of the world’s most oppressive regimes.

UN Watch released a report on Tuesday revealing that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk has ignored some of the world’s most oppressive regimes. The report argues that Türk has given a pass to actual human rights violators while disproportionately targeting Israel, the United States, and other democracies.

“It’s absurd that UN human rights chief Volker Türk has condemned the United States more than he has condemned all of China, North Korea, Cuba, and Qatar combined,” Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, told The Daily Wire. “He needs to resign. We are hopeful that new Ambassador Elise Stefanik will call on Türk to go.”

Stefanik, nominated by Trump in November, is expected to shake up the UN. A staunch supporter of Israel, Stefanik has been critical of the UN, stating in October that the United States should do a “complete reassessment” of its UN funding if the Palestinian authority succeeded in their “antisemitic pursuit” to expel the Jewish state from the UN General Assembly.

“American taxpayers have no interest in continuing to fund an organization that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have allowed to rot with antisemitism,” Stefanik wrote. “They must take the names of any country supporting this blatantly immoral effort and make clear the position of the United States – the UN’s single largest source of funding.”

According to the UN Watch report, Türk, who has been serving in his position since October 2022, has condemned the United States more than China, North Korea, Cuba, and Qatar combined. In fact, Türk has not touched on the human rights violations in Cuba, North Korea, Algeria, Eritrea, Mauritania, Lebanon, and Qatar, according to the report, but he has condemned American allies such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, France and Israel.


Dutch Parliament votes to phase out UNRWA funding over terror ties
The Dutch House of Representatives voted in favor of an amendment to gradually phase out funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, better known as UNRWA.

If the bill passes through the Senate and is signed into law, it will cut contributions to UNRWA from €19 million to €15 million in 2025 and will continue to decrease annually until 2029 when only €1 million will be granted.

Eighty-eight members voted in favor of the amendment put forward jointly by Chris Stoffer of the Reformed Political Party (SGP) and Joost Eerdmans of the Correct Answer party (JA21), while 49 members voted against it, and 13 members were absent.

The background of the proposal
The proposal background reads, “UNRWA as an organization has been criticized for repeated violations of neutrality and for some employees who glorified violence in telegram groups. In addition, there have been serious allegations against its employees who participated in the October 7 massacre or with the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah.

“In addition, there is the issue of antisemitism in UNRWA teaching methods and those of host countries, which was also noted in the Colonna report. The submitters are, therefore, critical of the financing of UNRWA and do not yet see sufficient reform and improvement.

“The proceeds of this amendment will be used for emergency aid. The submitter attaches importance to diversification and more efficient, less controversial channels. The resources that are released will benefit emergency aid under Article 4.1. The gradually released resources will go hand in hand with the diversification of emergency aid.”

For years, UNRWA has faced wide criticism for its curriculum, which included examples glorifying terrorism and inciting violence against Jews, as well as its staff, who lauded violence.

These accusations became even starker in the past year, as UNRWA staff were found to actively take part in the October 7 massacre, play roles in terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and praise the massacre on telegram groups.

A former UNRWA teacher was also found to have been involved in leading a Hamas-affiliated organization in the Netherlands, which organizes weekly protests.

Last month, it was revealed that former UNRWA commissioner Pierre Krähenbühl held a secret meeting with leaders of Palestinian terror groups in Lebanon, including Hamas, the PIJ, and the PFLP, asking those present to keep the meeting ‘out of the public sphere,’ and assuring them: “we are one.”


Israeli FM: Irish prime minister is an antisemite
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Monday denounced Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris as an antisemite, speaking a day after Jerusalem announced the closure of its embassy due to Dublin’s hostile stances.

“Last night, the prime minister of Ireland, Simon Harris, the antisemite, said in an interview, ‘Ireland is not anti-Israel, but Ireland categorically opposes the starvation of children, and opposes categorically the killing of civilians,'” Sa’ar told reporters at a meeting of his New Hope Party.

“Israel starves children? When Jewish children died of hunger in the Holocaust, you were at best neutral in the war against Nazi Germany. Winston Churchill, during the war, in his speech on V-Day in Europe, noted how Ireland had carried on a love affair with Nazi Germany,” Jerusalem’s top diplomat said at the party faction meeting in the capital.

“And you call Israeli soldiers war criminals? You accuse the Jewish state, that was attacked on all fronts?” Sa’ar concluded while highlighting the Israel Defense Forces’ efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza.

JNS reached out to the embassy of Ireland in Ramat Gan for comment.

On Sunday, Sa’ar ordered the closure of the embassy in Dublin. Israel’s envoy, Dana Erlich, had already been recalled to Jerusalem in May after Dublin became one of three European nations to recognize “Palestine.”

In announcing the embassy closing, Sa’ar cited Ireland’s “antisemitic actions and rhetoric,” charging that they were based on “delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and on double standards.”


Call Me Back PodCast: Assad’s Death Factory – with Joseph Braude & Ahed Al Hendi
Hosted by Dan Senor Many would consider the term ‘death factory’ to be associated with another era, one that is long in the past.

But reports have emerged from inside Sednaya prison, bringing to light the horrific death camp and torture complex that was operated by the Assad regime until the regime’s collapse, just one week ago. It has been reported that 96,000 people have disappeared into Syria’s vast network of secret prisons, including thousands of women and children. The overwhelming majority were tortured to death.

The Center for Peace Communications (CPC), an NGO that works through media, schools and spiritual centers to resolve identity-based conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, gained unprecedented access to Sednaya. They have captured exclusive footage from inside its underground dungeons, and recorded testimonies of those lucky enough to survive what many have called a human slaughterhouse. This footage was released by and in partnership with The Free Press.

To discuss what we know about Sednaya prison and Syria’s path moving forward, our guests are Joseph Braude and Ahed Al Hendi.

Joseph Braude is the founder and president of the Center for Peace Communications. He is the author of four books on North Africa and the Middle East, and is a frequent contributor to English and Arabic newspapers and magazines. He has served as a consulting advisor to non-profit organizations, the U.S. government, and the private sector in the realms of Arab civil society engagement, strategic communications, and counterterrorism.

Ahed Al Hendi is a Syrian affairs analyst. He is a former political prisoner in Syria, and was arrested for establishing a secular anti-regime student organization.

Israeli officials concerned Assad’s fall risks destabilizing Jordan
The ripple effects across the Middle East of Bashar al-Assad’s fall in Syria remain to be seen, but Jordan’s leaders are reportedly eyeing recent events to their north with concern for the stability of King Abdullah II’s regime.

Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and IDF Intelligence Directorate head Maj.-Gen. Shlomi Binder secretly visited Jordan over the weekend to discuss the implications of the rebels’ victory in Syria and concerns that extremists may undermine King Abdullah’s regime, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.

Days prior, Secretary of State Tony Blinken was in Aqaba, Jordan, for discussions aimed at getting Jordan to help with a government transition in Syria to prevent destabilization in the region and the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles, which Israel has already begun doing. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said earlier in the week that Syria must be protected “from sliding into chaos” and that Amman was “ready to provide any assistance needed by the brotherly Syrian people.”

King Abdullah has struggled to contain anger toward Israel among the public and at times to maintain control in the Hashemite kingdom, where a majority of Jordanians are of Palestinian descent. Amman has also faced the strain of the influx of more than a million Syrian refugees who have crossed into Jordan since the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011. Amman has also been a target of Iranian subversive efforts, especially in recent years.

Zohar Palti, the Viterbi International Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy and former head of the Mossad Intelligence Directorate, identified Jordan as one of the fronts in which the U.S. and Israel need to act “if they hope to prevent or roll with other potential aftershocks.”

Seth Frantzman: Al-Hol camp is a test for future of Syria
Syria is undergoing rapid changes. The new government is taking shape under Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Julani.

It has a new prime minister and is drafting many new decrees, such as trying to get armed groups to give their weapons to the state and lay down their arms. But Damascus doesn’t control all of Syria. Turkish-backed groups control parts of northern Syria, and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) control eastern Syria.

In eastern Syria, there is a camp called Al-Hol, sometimes spelled al-Hawl, where many former ISIS members reside. Recently, CBS News noted there was “uncertainty over the future of Syrian camps holding women and children linked to ISIS.”

The report said the camp holds 6,000 women and children who are linked to ISIS. This isn’t the whole story. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy took a look at the camp in March 2024, the fifth anniversary of the defeat of ISIS.

It said that the local authorities that are linked to the SDF run the camp.

“The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and various NGOs operate several camps for Iraqis, Syrians, and Third Country Nationals (TCNs).

“Two of these camps – Al-Hol and Roj – hold the vast majority of women and children TCNs who traveled to, or were born in ISIS-held (and later AANES-held) territory. Both are closed sites, meaning individuals cannot leave without permission from camp administrators,” according to CBC News.


Seth Frantzman: Houthis remain 'last man standing' among Iranian proxies in Middle East
The Iranian-backed Houthis increasingly appear to be alone in the attempts to attack Israel, as Iran and its other proxy groups have been weakened. They have not suffered a major setback since they began their attacks on Israel and on shipping in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 massacre.

Instead, the terrorist group has generally enjoyed the ability to carry out long-range strikes and then hide out in the mountains around Sanaa, Yemen, waiting for a response.

The US had tried to respond to these strikes, whereas Israel was concentrating on Hamas in Gaza and viewed the Houthi attacks as one front in a seven-front war. Israel eventually did respond with two rounds of airstrikes on the Houthis in July and September.

As for the US, it launched Operation Prosperity Guardian in December 2023 to counter Houthi attacks on commercial ships. The naval operation was only moderately successful. The Israeli strikes did not seem to deter the Houthis either. They continue to attack Israel with drones and missiles.

The Houthi attacks continue even as Hamas continues to face setbacks in Gaza and as Hezbollah has agreed to an Israel-Lebanon 60-day ceasefire that will end in late January. Former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s regime has fallen. The Iranian-backed militias in Iraq also seem to have stopped their attacks on Israel, for now.

Houthis causing negligible damage to Israeli trade - study
Bank of Israel research found that the blockade of the Bab al Mandab strait has done minimal damage to international trade and has hardly affected Israel.

Despite many concerns about cargo bottlenecks as hasppened in the wake of the Covid pandemic, the blockade of the Bab al-Mandab Strait by the Houthis in western Yemen has not caused any great damage, according to a new Bank of Israel study by Haggayi Etkes and Nitzan Feldman of the School of Political Science at the University of Haifa.

Shipping prices have risen, but these increases have moderated dramatically in the past six months due to the impressive flexibility of the global system and effective resource diversion by shipping companies. In addition, the impact on Israel is marginal to non-existent - due to Israel's intensive trade with Europe, which is not affected by the blockade of the straits, and early preventive actions, which has softened the blow over time.

Following the Outbreak of the war in October 2023, the Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, joined the attacks on Israel. As well as firing ballistic missiles at Israel, they also blocked most of the shipping passing through the Bab al Mandab strait. The strait provides the only passage to the Suez Canal linking the Indian Ocean with the Mediterranean and saving the long journey around Africa. Due to the recent experience of the severe international trade bottleneck following the Covid pandemic, which increased transportation prices tenfold, there were concerns about a new trade backlog that would increase the cost of living and hinder economic growth, as actually happened after the closure of the Suez Canal in the 1960s and 1970s.
IDF downs Houthi missile fired at central Israel from Yemen
Air-raid sirens pealed in the greater Tel Aviv area on Monday afternoon after Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired a missile at the Jewish state from Yemen, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed.

“Following alerts that were activated a short time ago in central Israel, one missile that was launched from Yemeni territory was intercepted and shot down before it crossed into Israeli territory,” the IDF said.

Air-raid sirens were activated to warn civilians for the possibility of falling missile fragments following the interception, the army said.

The Magen David Adom emergency response group said it treated five people who were lightly injured while running for cover amid the attack. The injured were evacuated to a hospital for treatment, MDA added.

Earlier on Monday, an Israeli Navy ship intercepted a drone over the Red Sea that was launched by the Houthis. The UAV was downed before crossing into Israeli territory, according to the military.

Hezam Alasad, a senior member of the terror militia’s political bureau, vowed in a Hebrew-language X post on Monday night, “The Israeli enemy will pay a price for its continued brutal aggression and siege on our people in Gaza [and] its attacks and invasions in Syria.”

On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces intercepted a Houthi drone headed for the city of Eilat. That UAV likewise did not cross into Israeli airspace.


IDF seizes more than 10,000 Hezbollah weapons in Southern Lebanon
Soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces’ 91st Division have confiscated more than 10,000 Hezbollah weapons in Southern Lebanon over the past few months, the IDF said on Sunday.

In addition, the division destroyed 1,000-plus sites belonging to the Iranian terror proxy, while the 98th Division dismantled more than 300 terrorist infrastructure sites.

Ground forces entered Southern Lebanon in early October after a year of incessant Hezbollah rocket, drone and missile attacks.

A ceasefire that went into effect on Nov. 27 halted the cross-border launches; however, but Israeli troops continue to be active in Southern Lebanon, gradually withdrawing over a two-month period as part of the agreement. Hezbollah must retreat north of the Litani River, about 20 miles north of the Israeli border, while the Lebanese Armed Forces deploy along the 75-mile Israel-Lebanon border, along with monitors from the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon.

The 91st Division’s activities “have deprived the enemy of many capabilities and means that were used for terrorist activities during the past year,” the IDF said.

“The division forces are operating in accordance with the understandings between Israel and Lebanon while maintaining the terms of the ceasefire,” the statement added.


Israel Pushes Back on Cindy McCain: 847 WFP Trucks, Not ‘Two,’ Entered Gaza in November
Israel disputed allegations Monday by Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and the director of the United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP), claiming only two of its aid trucks entered Gaza in November.

McCain made that claim on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday, and also accused Israel of deliberately “targeting” humanitarian aid workers. She also implied that Israel, not Hamas, was to blame for the looting of aid trucks in Gaza.

Host Margaret Brennan made the case that there was “famine” in Gaza — despite UN findings to the contrary — and claimed that “famine” was “man-made,” implying that Israel was to blame. She prompted McCain to respond.

Listen- this- we’re in the month of November. WFP has been able to get two trucks in. That’s all. Two trucks in the month of November … but the insecurity that’s caused from it, the- the- the targeting of- of humanitarian aid workers and making sure that we can’t move or that- or that they feel insecure. This whole- this whole issue of not being able to get in, is- is unseemly. We need unfettered access.

There’s gangs that are running, if we’re speaking directly about Gaza, it’s gangs that’s running around. It’s the- the lawlessness. There is absolutely no- no law- law to be held, you know, to be even talked about there, because it doesn’t exist. And so we need all of those kinds of things to be put into place so that we can work in a safe manner and get- get the food to where it’s go- where it needs to go. Again, we’ve gotten two trucks in. That’s all. Two trucks.

In response, Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told journalists in a briefing on Monday that McCain “gave some incorrect figures about aid going into Gaza.” He then said that he would “enlighten” McCain with figures that were “perhaps not shared” with her.

“During the month of November, 847 World Food Program trucks were coordinated into Gaza. Let me repeat that — not the two or three trucks that Cindy McCain talked about, but 847 World Food Program trucks were coordinated into Gaza. … Indeed, over the last week alone, 1,316 humanitarian aid trucks – including food, including water, including medical supplies, including shelter – have entered Gaza.”

Mencer also said that 254 aid trucks had entered Gaza in the last 24 hours alone, and that 75 had been collected on the Gazan side, but that some 700 trucks’ worth of aid remained on the Gazan side, awaiting distribution by aid agencies.


Police officer attacked in ‘outburst’ following Birmingham Gaza demonstration
A police officer has been attacked following an ‘outburst’ at a Birmingham Gaza demonstration. Demonstrators had marched from Handsworth Park to the city centre on Saturday (December 14).

But a man, who was said to be part of the demo, reacted in an ‘outburst’ according to eyewitness, Hamza, The witness said: “It was at around 3pm. The demo had been going on and going well when a man had an outburst with a male police officer near McDonald’s on Cherry Street.

“There was just a male a female police officer there at the time. The man then started attacking the police officer in Union Street. He was punched badly.”

Hamza said one of the officers ‘pressed the panic button’ which led to a number of police vehicles quickly responded to the incident. He said: “The man fled the scene, leaving the officer with minor injuries.

“Both officers went after him and this led the panic button to be pressed, with a lot of response cars responding to The Priory Queensway, where the man got caught and arrested. I’d say around 10 police cars responded to the incident.”

West Midlands Police confirmed a man has been detained and is being questioned. A spokeswoman for the force said: “A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and remains in police custody.”


Allan to 'leave no stone unturned' in anti-Semitism fight
Ms Allan’s comments and proposed action comes as Victoria Police announced the CBD would be a “designated area” between 11am and 5pm on Sundays. That will allow officers to search people and vehicles for weapons, compel people to take off face coverings, and order people to leave the CBD if they do not comply with police orders.

Pro-Palestinian protesters were advised by police to change their route at Sunday’s rally as a pro-Israel group marched at the same time, raising fears a clash between the two groups could turn ugly.

Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni said police had advised its members not to wear masks, and claimed “Zionist agitators” were among them. “The police can ask you to remove face coverings today,” Mr Mashni said, as chants of “shame” echoed from the crowd of hundreds. “Last week we had Zionist agitators from within us.

“There are Zionists within us that are trying to unmerge the good name and character of our movement … Zionism is a movement of hate, Zionism is a movement of racism, Zionism is a movement of exclusion, Zionism is a movement of genocide.”

Mr Mashni’s rhetoric on Zionism went unchallenged despite several ASIO warnings against inflammatory language.

State Police Minister Anthony Carbines revealed the government was in talks with its NSW counterpart to seek advice on banning protests at places of worship.

Federal opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson told The Australian it shouldn’t take 14 months and a synagogue being firebombed for the Allan government to take seriously the threat of anti-Semitism.
Matilda McDermott, 19, accused of attack on MP Josh Burns’ office in St Kilda seeks deal, court told
A teenager charged after an alleged attack on Labor MP John Burns’ St Kilda office will seek to reach a deal with police, a court has been told.

Matilda McDermott, 19, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday as her lawyer said the case had been resolved after negotiations with prosecutors.

“We had a brief chat this morning, it’s now resolved; however, the prosecution are not currently amenable to diversion,” she said, asking for the case to be pushed off to the new year.

Ms McDermott was charged by police with offences including two counts of criminal damage and one count of burglary earlier this year after Mr Burns’ office was attacked about 3.20am on June 19.

At the time, police said at least five people broke through windows and painted walls with political slogans, including “Zionism is fascism”.

Horns were drawn on an image of Mr Burns.

According to court documents, police have estimated the damage bill at $55,000.
