Hamas in Toronto. What’s next?
I bring you a video of a demonstration in Toronto that tops everything I have seen until now. It took place on Saturday, May 25th somewhere in the University of Toronto vicinity. The video popped up in my “X” feed. It was posted by Leviathan, an “X” account whose owner follows radical and antisemitic activities […]
ISRAEL REALTIME Special Report: The Hospital
I am copy-pasting their entire post as it appears on their WhatsApp group because I think it offers an excellent explanation and analysis of the horrendous propaganda ploy used by Hamas after they blew up their own hospital. Below their post is video proof that the hospital was hit by a failed Islamic Jihad missile. […]
Do you know if you are reading information or propaganda?
“Friends of Givat Haviva,” like most organizations today, sends out email newsletters to subscribers. Subscribers can be those who are already in agreement with the organization’s ideology, who are open to being persuaded to agree with their ideology, or those who like to keep up with what organizations with whom they disagree are saying and […]
Masafer Yatta: How to Get the Most Punch out of B’Tselem Lies
It’s kind-of funny. It doesn’t matter what happens in Masafer Yatta, the area of the South Hebron Hills that has been in the news for almost a solid year. Whatever happens can be twisted into fodder for the anti-Israel propaganda machine generated most effectively by the European supported NGO, B’Tselem. Here I critique a video […]
What Really Happened at Shireen Abu-Akleh’s Funeral and Why
Here is the inflamatory video from Shireen Abu-Akleh’s funeral that has the world up in arms (once more) against Israel. Watch the video and then read below to know what you are really seeing. And then read below that to know why the family likely will never be able to verify the story. At the […]
Dear South Hebron Hills Watch: Thank-you
Dear South Hebron Hills Watch: Without help, the naive Facebook user may not understand how a particular post you uploaded to Facebook actually supports the opposite of what you intended. I appreciate the wonderful opportunity you have afforded me to provide a real learning experience. After all, you claim to be “a group of American […]
Pallywood: Believing Make-Believe in the Israel-PA Narrative Wars
Why did international and local reporting from a ginned-up “altercation” between IDF troops and Palestinians become part of the anti-Israel libel – despite video evidence showing the dust-up to be faked? This kind of image doctoring is referred to as: “Pallywood,” a term coined by historian Richard Landes concerning the intentional staging of injury – […]
How to Protest “Palestinian Stories” When You Otherwise Like Netflix
When Netflix announced its group of films called Palestinian Stories, they invited subscribers to “discover all the greatness of Palestinian cinema with this heartfelt, humorous and captivating collection that features award-winning films and filmmakers.” I had already critiqued one of the films included in the collection: The Present. Filled with lies, it was clearly just […]
Israeli Journalists have a Huge Responsibility to Get it Right, No?
It does not help when Israeli journalists publishing in Israeli websites do not provide reliable information upon which readers can build an understanding of the context relevant to their articles. I am referring here to the anticipated approval of construction permits for Arabs residing in legal Arab villages within Area C that is now in […]
Sinokrot: Academic Report on Successful PA Company
Sinokrot Holdings is a very successful family business in the Palestinian Authority (PA). A case study examining the reasons for its success was published in the first volume of a new economics and accounting journal. The description of success in view of very difficult conditions for entrepreneurship would have been much more valuable if they […]
