Seth Mandel: Accusations Against Israel Once Again Revealed to Be Pure Projection
Khan reportedly tried to guilt his accuser into keeping quiet about the allegations, telling her that going public would hurt Gazans because it could derail his case against Netanyahu. His accuser took it to heart, requesting a transfer instead of an investigation into Khan. “I held on for as long as I could because I didn’t want to f*** up the Palestinian arrest warrants,” she testified.

Although some extremist figures, such as incoming New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, still back the arrest warrant, the case against Netanyahu at the court is obviously and entirely illegitimate. Even worse, it was issued apparently in an attempt to let the prosecutor get away with rape. Khan took a leave of absence from the case, but the ICC requires thorough reform or disbanding.

As if all that wasn’t bad enough, now we’ve got the reported Qatari involvement—a story broken by the ICC’s staunch ally against Israel, the UK Guardian, which reports:

“The private intelligence operation that has targeted the woman at the centre of the UN inquiry is said to have commenced earlier this year, when Highgate was commissioned by Qataris.

“A small group of senior Highgate employees was made aware the ultimate client for the project was the Qatari unit, according to evidence reviewed by the Guardian. The funding was regarded as highly sensitive. Executives involved in the project were careful to refer to its client as the ‘client country’ or ‘Q country’.

“A document seen by the Guardian suggests that at one stage during the operation Highgate sought information that would link the alleged victim and her family members with Israel or its intelligence agencies.”

According to the Journal, Khan had suggested his accuser might be part of a plot to bring down the ICC. This was a way to casually plant the idea that his victim was actually an Israeli agent. The Guardian notes that he actually then met with the intelligence team assigned to tar his accuser. The intelligence firm followed this line of investigation, but to no avail: As is usually the case, Israel haters were lying.

The intelligence firm apparently went so far as to hack into her private communications, but still found nothing. No amount of Qatari money can change the fact that Khan, his ICC enablers, the countries and politicians supporting his actions—and of course Qatar itself—are the bad guys here. The public should keep in mind for the future that extraordinary accusations against Israel are often themselves admissions of guilt.
Bassem Eid: Hamas Committed Genocide
Captured Hamas records prove that Hamas originally collaborated with Iran and the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah to commit similar massacres in Northern Israel, with the intent of provoking the collapse of the state of Israel. Although it never launched a full-scale invasion, Hezbollah did launch a missile barrage into Israel that slaughtered children.

Perhaps nothing shows intent so clearly as Hamas’s civilian hostage taking. 251 innocent people were dragged into Gaza, including 30 children under 18 years of age, and 16 under 10. Two babies, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, were murdered in captivity. Hostages were starved, filmed emaciated, and forced to dig their own graves in the tunnels. Some were raped repeatedly. Teenage hostages were forced to commit sex acts on each other. Others were executed.

Hamas has weaponized genocide denial, engaging in a strategy of reverse accusations, smearing Israel as a way of deflecting attention from their crime. In so doing, Hamas is weakening the precedent for identifying and prosecuting genocide around the world. They hope to villainize Western powers that go out of their way in wartime to protect innocents and distract from their own barbarism.

Israel is acting based on military need and prioritizing civilian survival, fighting under unthinkable circumstances engineered by Hamas to turn civilian infrastructure into military sites. Hamas apologists misquote Israeli politicians to claim intent, and grow silent when confronted by tens of millions of warning messages, thousands of tons of aid, and guarded humanitarian corridors provided by the IDF. The legitimacy of genocide charges themselves is compromised when accredited international institutions have committed clear errors in the rush to judgment of Israel, the victim power, instead of identifying the actual aggressor, Hamas.

Meanwhile, real genocides are being ignored by the rest of the world. According to the United Nations, more than 740,000 people are killed each year in armed conflict and criminality. The slaughter of tens of thousands in Sudan has left pools of blood in the sand visible from space. Hamas’ false accusation does an injustice to the actual victims of genocide who lost their lives on the basis of their shared heritage. It leaves tens of thousands massacred around the world without the chance of getting justice for their murders.

As a Palestinian, it is vital that I speak the truth. Hamas committed genocide on October 7th. Every attempt to aggravate their denial by smearing Israel only dishonors the victims, weakens the legitimacy of real genocide charges, and protects the perpetrators. Justice must be done, and history must never forget the crimes that were committed on October 7, 2023 – and by whom.
Aizenberg: Tunnel Denialism: The Erasure Beneath the Rubble
Media reports similarly erase the presence of tunnels. An October 2025 report in The Guardian on "The ruin of Gaza" never writes the word "tunnel." This silence extends even to media outlets that have themselves documented the tunnels. The New York Times published two major investigations, one in November 2023 and another in February 2024 , confirming extensive tunnel systems beneath much of Gaza including the Al-Shifa Hospital. Yet many recent articles and op-eds in the same paper lamenting the destruction in Gaza fail to mention the tunnel network. This is the essence of Tunnel Denialism.

The contrast with the reality of Gaza and the war could not be starker. An account by hostage Aviva Siegel describing her captivity in Gaza sums up the Hamas tunnel network. She explained how her first stop was a civilian home with a tunnel shaft inside the living room. She recalled seeing “somebody underneath the hole, in the hole underneath the ground, that’s waiting with a smile.” Siegel was moved thirteen times, through tunnels and militants’ homes. This single testimony captures what much of the world prefers not to acknowledge: the tunnels are not separate from civilian Gaza. They are underneath it, literally and conceptually intertwined with daily life. Hamas built its war machine beneath families and children, hospitals and schools, ensuring that any military confrontation would destroy both. Israel's only choice was to grant Hamas permanent immunity, or attack Hamas knowing that great destruction was unavoidable.

One of the war’s defining images (see below) shows a bombed-out children’s bedroom, its walls painted with Mickey Mouse and Snow White, the floor blown open to reveal a gaping tunnel shaft beneath. In this tunnel, Hamas executed six Israeli hostages because the terrorists feared their rescue by nearby IDF soldiers. It encapsulates Hamas’s strategy: hide within civilian life, then weaponize the resulting destruction for propaganda. And yet, when Gaza’s devastation is lamented in global media, such images rarely appear. When they do, the hole in the ground is left unexplained.

Why this erasure? Because acknowledging the tunnels forces a confrontation with Hamas’s moral depravity and the impossibility of a clean, casualty-free war. It exposes the grotesque calculus at the core of Hamas’s strategy: embedding its military infrastructure beneath its own civilians to ensure civilian deaths that can be weaponized politically. Ignoring that fact allows critics to blame Israel for consequences engineered by Hamas. To analyze the tunnels seriously is to see Hamas as a movement that sacrifices its own population for global sympathy—a recognition that would collapse the “Israel = aggressor / Gaza = victim” binary on which so much Western discourse depends.

Even the postwar debates about Gaza’s future proceed with Tunnel Denialism, as if this subterranean state never existed. But the “day after” cannot be separated from the seventeen years before—from Hamas’s decision to turn Gaza into an armed fortress dug beneath its own people. Any plan for reconstruction that ignores that reality will only rebuild atop future ruins.

The first step toward ending Gaza’s tragedy is intellectual honesty: to speak the word tunnel and understand what it signifies. Until the world confronts that underground reality, every discussion of Gaza’s ruins will remain a half-truth, and every plan for its “day after” will merely prepare the ground for the next war.


Hamas hands over body of presumed hostage to Israel, as 6 families await ID process
The Red Cross transferred the body of a presumed hostage from Hamas to Israeli security forces in Gaza on Friday night.

The casket was then brought into Israeli territory and taken to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification.

Hamas said earlier Friday that it would return a deceased hostage whose remains were discovered in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Hamas statement came after its smaller ally, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, announced it would hand over the body of a hostage. The remains were ostensibly first held by PIJ before being transferred to Hamas for the handover to the Red Cross.

Until Friday, there were six deceased hostages still being held in Gaza.

They include Lt. Hadar Goldin, who was killed fighting in the 2014 Gaza war, and five hostages whose bodies were snatched to Gaza after they were murdered on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.

The five October 7 hostages are Meny Godard, 73, who was murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists alongside his wife, Ayelet; Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, 24, who was killed battling Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Alumim; Dror Or, 48, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists at his home in Kibbutz Be’eri; Sudthisak Rinthalak, 43, who was murdered at Be’eri, where he was an agricultural worker; and Lior Rudaeff, 61, who was killed near his home in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak while aiding the local rapid response team in its battle against Hamas terrorists.
‘An American heart with an Israeli soul’: Omer Neutra laid to rest in Tel Aviv
Hundreds of people gathered at the Kiryat Shaul cemetery in Tel Aviv on Friday to pay their last respects to slain Israeli-American hostage soldier Cpt. Omer Maxim Neutra, whose body was returned to Israel from Gaza on Sunday evening.

Neutra, 21, a tank platoon commander in the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion, was killed on October 7 while battling the Hamas invasion of southern Israel, and his body was abducted to Gaza.

The only surviving member of Neutra’s tank crew, Sgt. Nimrod Cohen — who was captured alive and released last month along with the rest of the remaining living hostages — attended his funeral, along with several high-ranking officials, including President Isaac Herzog, former defense minister Yoav Gallant and former IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi.

A contingent of US officials was also present, including the commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, who gave a eulogy for the New York native.

The funeral opened with the blowing of the shofar, before Neutra’s parents and brother recited Kaddish, the Jewish mourners’ prayer. Along with the rest of his family and friends, they were dressed in black shirts bearing a photo of Omer’s grinning face against a backdrop of the American and Israeli flags, and wearing pieces of masking tape with the number 763, to mark the days of captivity of the remaining six deceased captives.

Omer’s father, Ronen Neutra, told gatherers that he took comfort in the fact that his son did not suffer much and was spared from knowing the extent of the horror that was unfolding around him.

“After more than two years, your impossible journey has come to an end,” he said in his eulogy for his son. “758 days of hope, pain, prayer and fear, and today you are finally home.”

“My child, you were carried away on your back, unconscious, and taken captive with Nimrod [Cohen] and Oz [Daniel]. I am comforted by the knowledge that you did not suffer, that you were not humiliated, that you did not know,” Ronen said. “You were only 21 years old, but in moments like these, you do not see age, you see the soul.”

“We know that until your last breath, you thought about your crew, about the people of Israel. You were a hero, not because you were killed in war, but because of the way you lived,” said Ronen.


25 For 25: A Quarter Century of False Accusations Against Israel
When HonestReporting was founded 25 years ago, it was clear that there was a need to expose and fight media bias against Israel.

But the extent of the libels the Jewish state would face could not have been dreamed of back then.

The international media spread – and in many cases invented – outrageous and destructive misinformation and disinformation.

HonestReporting was there to set the record straight.

This list of the 25 worst false accusations against Israel over the past quarter century was compiled with the help of veteran diplomats and journalists who dealt with them in real time. Please send us key incidents that could be added to the list.

Supporters of Israel can do their part to prevent – or at least combat the libels that are sure to come in the 25 years ahead.

Here they are in chronological order:

1. The Photo That Started It All, September 30, 2000
HonestReporting began its mission by taking on The New York Times over a photo it published of a young man — bloodied and battered — crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli policeman. The caption identified him as a Palestinian victim — with the clear implication that the Israeli soldier was the one who beat him.

The effort to fix the incorrect reporting started with the boy’s father writing a letter to the Times, explaining the truth about his son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago who was pulled from his Jerusalem taxi by a mob of Arabs who beat and stabbed him. A half-hearted correction was issued about “an American student in Israel” — not a Jew beaten by Arabs.

Only after additional public outrage did the Times reprint Grossman’s picture — this time with the proper caption — along with a full article detailing his near-lynching by Palestinians.

2. Mohammed Al-Dura, September 30, 2000
The image of the 12-year-old Gazan crouching next to his father behind a barrel, caught in the crossfire, became the defining image of the Second Intifada.

Israel was accused of killing al-Dura based on heavily edited footage of a Palestinian cameraman working for France 2 TV and its reporter Charles Enderlin.

No proof was ever presented that al-Dura was killed by the IDF, who were not positioned in the line of fire. But the damage to Israel’s reputation was done.

3. Durban, South Africa Conference, August 31 to September 8, 2001
The United Nations World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance did not accomplish the lofty goals of its title. The American and Israeli delegations ended up leaving after it was used to promote an anti-Israel, antisemitic agenda.

A conference of non-governmental organizations held alongside the main forum overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling Israel “a racist apartheid state,” guilty of the “systematic perpetration of racist crimes including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing … and state terror against the Palestinian people.”

A paragraph condemning antisemitism was removed from the resolution.

In the eyes of many, the Durban Conference was the worst display of antisemitism since World War 2 and kicked off the campaign to exploit the language of anti-racism and human rights to demonize and isolate the world’s only Jewish State. The impact of this so-called ‘Durban Strategy’ is felt to this day: experts trace the roots of the ongoing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement back to the 2001 gathering.
Green Beret: The $3.8 Billion Question What’s America’s ROI on the Israel Alliance?
To sum it all up, if U.S. aid to Israel were judged like a business investment, the consensus among many analysts is that it yields substantial returns—likely several times the principal. I’ve identified economic benefits that easily run into the tens of billions, and strategic benefits that senior U.S. officials value in similarly grand terms.

Is the ROI exactly 12.6:1 (to match that $48 billion claim)? Probably not with precision, as that number glosses over a lot of complexities. But an ROI in the range of, say, 3:1 to 10:1 is supported by various data points we’ve discussed. Even at the low end, that’s like getting 300% back on your “investment,” far better than any typical treasury bond or bank interest!

And at the high end, it’s arguably one of the best deals in the U.S. foreign policy portfolio.

Of course, this isn’t to say the partnership is only about dollars and cents (or shekels). Much of it is rooted in shared values and strategic alignment. But since we’re crunching numbers, the numbers do tell a compelling story. The U.S. and Israel alliance seems to function, in financial terms, like a savvy venture capital stake: a relatively small upfront infusion that helps generate outsize innovations and capabilities down the road.

Or as one commentator quipped, “the United States doesn’t give aid to Israel; it makes an extraordinarily high return investment.”

In the end, reasonable people can disagree on exactly how high the ROI is, but it’s safe to conclude it’s comfortably in the black. America gets economic growth, military R&D, regional stability, intelligence windfalls, and more, in exchange for that annual $3.8 billion outlay.

As investments go, that’s one portfolio item that has paid off handsomely by most measures. And if nothing else, knowing that a U.S. ally in the Middle East is self reliant, innovative, and actively helping us, is a return on investment in its own right, providing Washington a bit of peace of mind (a priceless commodity) in an otherwise volatile world.
Iran planned to kill Israeli envoy to Mexico this year
Hasan Izadi, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps official in Iran, planned to assassinate Einat Kranz Neiger, the Israeli ambassador to Mexico, starting in late 2024 and kept the plot going actively through the first half of 2025, according to a U.S. official and the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The official in the Quds Force, which resembles the CIA, previously worked at the Iranian embassy in Venezuela, where he was second adviser. He used the alias Masood Rahnema.

The U.S. official said that Izadi targeted U.S. and Israeli officials and while he was in Venezuela, he communicated with Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy terror group in Lebanon.

“The plot was contained and does not pose a current threat,” said the U.S. official, who spoke anonymously. “This is just the latest in a long history of Iran’s global lethal targeting of diplomats, journalists, dissidents and anyone who disagrees with them.”

The revealed plot is “something that should deeply worry every country where there is an Iranian presence,” the official said.

The Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry told JNS that “we thank the security and law enforcement services in Mexico for thwarting a terrorist network directed by Iran that sought to attack Israel’s ambassador in Mexico.”

“The Israeli security and intelligence community will continue to work tirelessly, in full cooperation with security and intelligence agencies around the world, to thwart terrorist threats from Iran and its proxies against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide,” the Israeli ministry said.
Cotton Presses DOJ to Investigate Code Pink's Terror, CCP Ties
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Friday petitioned the Justice Department to open a federal investigation into left-wing activist group Code Pink for providing "material support to foreign terrorist organizations" and serving as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government, according to a letter shared with the Washington Free Beacon.

Code Pink—known for disrupting congressional proceedings with anti-Israel outbursts—has worked on behalf of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) members, calling into "question whether it has provided material support" to a United States government-designated terrorist organization, Cotton wrote. The group has also received more than $1.4 million in funding from socialist tech executive Neville Roy Singham, who is married to the group's co-founder, Jodie Evans, and was identified in 2023 as the driving force behind a global Chinese propaganda campaign.

Cotton says Singham's cash, which accounts for around 25 percent of Code Pink's budget, suggests that the group is serving as an unregistered foreign agent for the communist regime. Its parallel work with PFLP-tied organizations like sham charity Samidoun, the senator added, raises "serious questions about whether Code Pink has provided material support to designated" foreign terrorist organizations.

Both issues warrant an immediate federal probe from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Cotton contended. He argued in the letter that Code Pink's activities could amount to a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires advocates for foreign governments to disclose their work.

The Trump administration must determine "whether Code Pink and the individuals involved have violated FARA by failing to register as agents of the Chinese Communist Party and whether their support for designated [foreign terrorist organizations] constitutes material support in violation of federal law," the senator wrote.
Turkey issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, other Israeli leaders over ‘genocide’ in Gaza
Turkey announced Friday that it had issued arrest warrants for alleged genocide against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials in his government over the war in Gaza against Hamas.

The announcement was met with a firm rebuttal from Israel. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Israel “firmly rejects, with contempt” the charges, calling them “the latest PR stunt by the tyrant (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan.”

The Istanbul prosecutor’s office said in a statement that a total of 37 suspects were targeted by the arrest warrants, without providing a full list.

They include Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.

Turkey has accused the officials of “genocide and crimes against humanity” that Israel has “perpetrated systematically” in Gaza. Israel has repeatedly rejected claims of genocide as false and antisemitic.

The statement also refers to the “Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital,” built by Turkey in the Gaza Strip and bombed by Israel in March. The Israel Defense Force said at the time that the facility was being used by Hamas operatives and had “not been used as an active hospital for over a year.”

Turkey, which has been one of the most vocal critics of the war in Gaza and whose leader Erdogan is a longtime supporter of Hamas, last year joined South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Ryan McBeth: How Israel’s Army Got It Wrong: Lessons from Gaza and Lebanon
In Part One, ( • How Israel’s Army Got It Right: Lessons fr... ) we talked about what went right: the systems, the technology, and the culture that made the IDF effective. But this episode is about what went wrong — the bad assumptions, broken training pipelines, and the structural issues that cost lives.

From flawed “raid” strategies to a reserve force that was too tired, too old, and too under-trained to adapt to a modern battlefield, this is a deep dive into where the IDF stumbled and what NATO and the U.S. can learn from it.

'Massaging the Nation's Leading White Supremacist … There's No Detente With Those Positions': Ben Shapiro Says He’ll Make Peace With Tucker Carlson When Carlson ‘Changes His Ideas’
Ben Shapiro will consider a "detente" with Tucker Carlson when the Nazi-adjacent podcast host stops praising communist dictators like Nicolas Maduro, socialist mayors like Zohran Mamdani, and white supremacist influencers like Nick Fuentes, he said Thursday.

Speaking with Megyn Kelly for a live taping of her show in Jacksonville, Fla.—a full audio recording of which can be accessed here—Shapiro said that, while Carlson was once "a great advocate for many things on the right, particularly on the immigration issue," that’s not the case anymore.

"I do not think he is advocating for right-wing positions. He is not more conservative than I am by any stretch of the imagination on any possible issue," Shapiro said. "And when it comes to the question as to whether he is actually making the conservative movement more likely to lose by attacking inside the tent significantly more often than anyone else on the right, while simultaneously massaging … the nation's leading white supremacist, I'm sorry, there's no detente with those positions."

Shapiro was addressing Carlson's chummy Oct. 27 interview with Fuentes, a self-described "fan" of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Carlson did not press Fuentes on his head-turning statements like, "I love Hitler," "Hitler had aura," and "I think the Holocaust is exaggerated." Rather, the pair discussed topics like marriage, masturbation, and "organized Jewry" and took aim at Christian Zionists like Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Carlson said they suffer from a "brain virus."

Shapiro savaged Carlson over the interview in a Nov. 3 episode of The Ben Shapiro Show titled, "Tucker Carlson Sabotages America." But not long before the ordeal—in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination—Shapiro said he shared a "very nice" text exchange with Carlson. Shapiro said he suggested the two do a show together addressing the threat posed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Carlson replied that he would "spend the next week or two thinking about how to be the most effective."

Poll: Nearly half of Israelis would avoid NYC after Mamdani victory
Nearly half of Israelis plan to avoid travel to New York in the wake of the election as mayor of Zohran Mamdani, whom they overwhelmingly perceive as antisemitic, a poll released on Thursday shows.

The findings highlight a significant level of concern among Israelis over Mamdani’s election and global antisemitism and its implications for international travel.

Forty-six percent of respondents said they would avoid traveling to the city, 34% said they would continue visiting as usual, and 20% were unsure when asked whether Mamdani’s election would affect their decision to visit New York City, the i24NEWS poll found.

New York City—home to the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel—has long been the top travel destination for Israeli tourists.

The survey also found that a whopping 83% of respondents said they believe Mamdani is antisemitic, while 8% disagreed, and 9% said they did not know.

The results highlight anew the huge gap in worldview between Israelis and the predominantly left-wing American Jewish community, with one-third of New York Jews voting for the far-left socialist, according to exit polling.
Zohran Mamdani ally Linda Sarsour, NYC DSA pol threaten to root out pro-Israel ‘corporate Democrats’
Zohran Mamdani ally Linda Sarsour called for the ouster of Israel-supporting Democrats in fiery remarks Thursday at the SOMOS political conference.

Sarsour, the radical, hateful left-wing activist, and Alexa Aviles, a Democratic Socialists of America member of the City Council, made the incendiary remarks during a panel at the annual multi-day conference in Puerto Rico.

“You do the right thing, you keep your job. You don’t do the right thing, you don’t keep your job,” Sarsour said, arguing that any Democrats who don’t oppose Israel should be nudged aside.

“There are some people that will do the right thing for the wrong reasons, but we don’t care why you do the right thing as long as you do the right thing,” she said.

“If you do it because you think you’re getting primaried, that’s OK with us. People are saying ‘free Palestine’ because now they’re getting primaried – free Palestine.”

Aviles — who is exploring challenging incumbent Manhattan Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) — said activists need to root out “corporate Democrats” backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

She even claimed AIPAC was controlling members of Congress and parts of the media.

“We see a Congress that is very much controlled by AIPAC, who’s controlling all the right-wing media and all the conservatives as and lot of corporate Democrats, maybe almost all of them,” Aviles said during the event called “Colonialism, Resistance and Solidarity: Puerto Rico and Palestine.”

“We need to follow the money because super PACs are here and they’re real. We need to see who’s funding who,” she said.
