Last November, Israeli media outlets made a joint request that international media organizations such as CNN and the New York Times should refrain from using pictures from AP and Reuters freelance journalists in Gaza because they had actively accompanied and participated in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th. The request was based on an HonestReporting investigation showing the active participation of some journalists at some of the scenes of atrocities. The Israeli outlets wrote that “an investigation revealed that these journalists documented among other things the kidnapping of Israeli citizens and soldiers, the kidnapping of bodies, a lynch…

The Biden administration and a small group of Middle East partners are attempting to bypass Israel and rush to complete a comprehensive plan for long-term peace between Israel and Palestinians, including a firm timeline for the establishment of a Palestinian state that could be announced as early as the next several weeks, according to a Washington Post report.

In a remarkable defense of Israel’s military strategies in Gaza, urban warfare expert John Spencer wrote that Israel has “taken more measures to avoid needless civilian harm than virtually any other nation that’s fought an urban war in history.” Writing in a Newsweek Op-Ed, Spencer, who served two tours in Iraq and consequently studied urban warfare, claims that Israel took more precautions to protect civilians than the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Spencer explained that the IDF’s use of precision guided munitions (PGMs), including Small Diameter Bombs (SDBs) has enabled it to target terrorists while avoiding harm to civilians…

NEW YORK (VINnews) — A Wall Street Journal editorial claims that Israel is intentionally endangering its soldiers more than previously in order to placate President Biden. Recently Biden has severely criticized the Israeli government, going as far as stating that the government “must change.” The WSJ says that Biden should be looking instead for change among the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, 82% of whom believe Hamas’s murderous attack on Oct. 7th was legitimate, according to local pollsters. Hamas is now hugely popular in these regions, and the goal of eradicating Hamas must include the eradication of the national dreams…
