Facts and Logic about the Middle East

Despite UN report denying famine in Gaza, anti-Israel media continue the lie. Why?

Many major American media are in a death spiral. News outlets like CNN, NPR and the Washington Post are losing audiences in droves, hemorrhaging cash and laying off staff.

A key reason for these failures is surely the media’s lowest public trust rating in history. Indeed, a Gallup poll shows that nearly four in ten Americans have zero confidence in the media—a new record in distrust. Little wonder: So many former bastions of “objective coverage,” like the New York Times, have abandoned balanced, fact-based reporting for journalism that blatantly pushes a biased, political agenda.

Let Israel win: How Biden’s effort to protect Hamas endangers Jews, the U.S. and Israel.

Let’s be clear on three simple principles: First, Israel can defeat Hamas. Second, Israel must defeat Hamas. Third, unequivocal U.S. support for Israel’s war effort makes the world safer and President Biden more electable in November.

Destroying Hamas means destroying the group’s ability to govern the Gaza Strip and annihilating their military forces so they no longer pose a threat to the Jewish state...READ MORE

New AP report exposes Hamas’s bogus death counts in Gaza war

When Israel’s daring military operation successfully freed four kidnap victims from Gaza last week, the Washington Post ran the headline: “At least 274 Palestinians killed during Israeli raid to rescue 4 hostages.”

In other words, the Post’s message was: Israel killed hundreds of Palestinians in order to save just four kidnap victims—or, disproportionate force led to the deaths of many innocent civilians.

What the Post didn’t tell us was...READ MORE:

Media falsely condemn Israel for rescuing hostages—what can we do?

Two things are happening at once in America—one bad, one good:

First, the bad news: Major media—CNN, New York Times, NPR, Washington Post—continue to swerve more more radically to the left—unashamed in publishing false Hamas death tolls and lies of Palestinian journalists . . . plus refusal to tell Israel’s side of any story.

This media bias has a negative effect on how Americans feel about Israel:
About 55% of Americans now disapprove of Israeli military actions in Gaza (Gallup)
Today, nearly 40% of Americans say the U.S. is doing too much to support Israel (ABC)

As Israel fights to destroy Hamas in the south, a far greater nightmare for the Jewish state looms on its northern border.

For Hamas sympathizers, this reality check should be sobering

Dear Friend of Israel, Friend of FLAME:

Recent shocking videos of Hamas’s October 7th massacre of innocent women, children and men graphically refute all the deniers of the terrorists’ slaughter and be******ty. They also leave viewers in gut-wrenching horror and bitter anger toward the jihadi monsters who appear on screen perpetrating savage cruelty and sexual violence.

Stop terror on campus: Lies, hypocrisy and “Death to America”

Surely you’re as outraged as I am
about recent anarchy on our campuses.

Radicals have taken over more than 50 U.S. universities—
Harassing, threatening and blocking access to Jewish students
Promising to commit dozens more October 7 massacres
Chanting genocidal slogans, like “From the river to the sea!,” and
Screaming “Death to America!” Death to Israel!”

No surprise: As you know, this terrorism on campus is not just about the Jewish state—it’s also about attacking the United States . . . our democracy, our values our freedoms.

While protestors violate school rules, state and federal laws—seizing and destroying campus property, refusing access to Jewish students and physically attacking those who disagree with their terrorist ideology—spineless college administrators have failed to stop the anarchy.

Anybody who’s been to college can understand the allure to students of a wild party on the quad—everybody singing together, wearing cool costumes and flipping off the establishment.

Unfortunately, the theme of the riotous parties we’ve seen on university campuses over the last seven months is, “Kill the Jews and destroy the world’s only Jewish state.” Even more unfortunate: The reasons these “kids” say they want to perpetuate another Holocaust on Jews are based on obvious lies.

Biden Administration unfairly scapegoats Netanyahu to please progressives, radical left.

President Biden has found many opportunities to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war strategy in the Gaza Strip—seemingly to placate his progressive wing and especially radical, anti-Israel voters whom Biden sees as key to saving his foundering re-election campaign. In an interview with Spanish language broadcaster, Univision, for example, he panned Netanyahu’s handling...Read More-

Like it or not, Iran’s war against Israel is now America’s war

When Iran massively attacked Israel last week, the United States and other allies stepped in to help it shoot down nearly all 300+ incoming ballistic missiles and armed drones. This assistance makes eminent sense, since Iran is a primary enemy not only of Israel, but also of the U.S. and all Western nations, as well as many Arab states.

Tellingly, a bold, unsettling spearhead of Iran’s jihadi ambitions has recently breached the American heartland. Hundreds of pro-Iran and pro-Hamas... Read More:

Fighting our enemies’ new battle cries: “Death to America,” and “Shut It Down for Palestine”

Iran’s massive missile and drone attack on Israel this week was alarming—but no surprise to me. How about you?

 It’s no surprise Iran wants to destroy the Jewish state.
 It’s no surprise Iran wants to destroy America.
 After all, they call us “Little Satan” and “Big Satan.”

What does shock me is the explosive support we see here in the U.S. . . . for Iran, its proxy Hamas and the Palestinians.

 Iran and Hamas supporters scream “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”—not just in the seething Muslim hotbed of Dearborn, MI, but most recently in Chicago. In public meetings!

They are open and unashamed of their plan to conquer both Israel and the U.S.—as well as our core Western values of liberty and tolerance . . . especially freedom of speech. In fact, so-called “Palestine supporters” work violently to prevent free-speech.

-45 protestors at a pro-Israel event at the University of Florida recently attacked the event, trying to “Shut It Down for Palestine”
- Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan recently sued a group for $4.8 billion—because they correctly called him an antisemite
- At UC Berkeley, a mob stormed an Israeli lawyer’s speech, crying “Jew!, Jew!, Jew!” until they finally shut the event down.

In short, our enemies, who hate Jews and Israel, don’t want us to speak the facts—don’t want Americans to hear the truth.

If you truly believe the truth will keep us free—will protect the Jewish people and the brave state of Israel—I urge you to take action, to fight back now.

Raise your voice. Stand up. Write to the editor. Cast your vote.
Consider also supporting the courageous work FLAME does to beat back the speech-cancelling radicals—as well as the media’s, the UN’s and college professors’ perverse lies about Jews and the Jewish state.

Biden hypocrisy: Blames Israel for aid workers' deaths, despite worse U.S. errors
On a dark April 1st night in southern Gaza, a horrible, deadly accident unfolded—one that, though understandable and forgivable due to the “fog of war,” was no less tragic.

A World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid convoy delivering food to Palestinians that night was joined by several Hamas vehicles. Later, a couple of armed Hamas terrorists hopped aboard a WCK truck and started shooting in the air. Israel’s IDF was monitoring this activity and watched the convoy as it later split up, with the main group entering a hangar. The IDF...

America's UN betrayal of Israel weakens the U.S. globally

In a deceitful attack on Israel, the U.S. failed to veto a UN Security Council resolution demanding Israel stand down against the Hamas terror group in Gaza. This action by the Biden Administration not only betrayed America's strongest ally in the Middle East, it also weakened U.S. standing worldwide and strengthened the hands of our enemies—especially Iran.

Many American Jews identify as Americans first and Jews second. This means, for example, they vote for politicians who support their views on many issues, not just issues related to Jews or Israel.

Yet, since October 7th, Jews are increasingly being forced to address the importance of their Jewishness—because increasingly they are being targeted precisely for being Jewish.

A Jewish man smoking a cigarette outside his Brooklyn apartment is punched in the stomach, kicked to the ground and cursed by his assailant using antisemitic insults—all because he is a Jew.

Threats to instantly recognize Palestinian statehood likely to backfire

President Biden threatens to recognize a Palestinian state—likely as an initiative to salvage his re-election by appealing to anti-Israel voters. Other leaders like British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have also hinted at recognizing Palestinian statehood. These rumblings erupt despite a preponderance of evidence that the Palestinians are not ready for statehood—nor do they deserve it.

Media launch new lies against Israel even as Hamas loses ground in Gaza

You won’t be surprised, but I’m so disgusted,
I have to tell you this story about the latest media lie:

This week I heard an NPR report about a Palestinian blogger in Gaza whose family was killed by Israeli fire just before he arrived home for dinner. Tragically, he had to identify his family’s remains in body bags.

What NPR doesn’t mention until the very end of the report is that Israel was rescuing two hostages hidden for over 100 days. In fact, NPR never mentions that the hostages were held by Hamas in the family’s residential neighborhood—a war crime—or especially that Hamas is responsible for the war that killed the man’s family! Outrageous.

But a ceasefire now offers virtually no benefits and would have disastrous consequences—satisfying only the insidious goals of Hamas.
