Medical staff described his determination as “extraordinary,” noting that he regained independence far faster than expected for a triple amputee. https://t.co/72PqBBLFFn
The day after the NYT story dropped, Platner’s campaign reported a single-day fundraising haul of $200,000
“What kind of person says, ‘I’m going to donate to a candidate because he’s facing accusations of violence, like that’s my guy that I want to stand behind?’ ” Lyndsey Fifield told @TheFP.

Israel-bashers—most recently and prominently @RepThomasMassie—are treating the USS Liberty incident like some hidden, forbidden truth they just unearthed from a secret vault. They want you to believe they’ve unveiled a massive conspiracy the world has ignored and the government has covered up. It's a completely laughable framework.
The truth is the incident has been thoroughly investigated multiple times.
In fact, as CAMERA has noted, at least six official U.S. government investigations reached clear conclusions regarding the intent and knowledge of the Israeli attackers:
1⃣ C.I.A. Report (June 13, 1967): No malice; the attack was a mistake.
2⃣ U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry (June 18, 1967): Mistaken identity.
3⃣ Report by Clark Clifford (July 18, 1967): No evidence ship was known to be American.
4⃣ Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (1979/1981): No merit to claims attack was intentional.
5⃣ National Security Agency (1981): Mistaken identity.
6⃣ House Armed Services Committee (1991/1992): No support for claims attack was intentional.
If you are a Zionist at Clark University, prepare to handle every issue yourself. That is the message from CAMERA Fellow Jacob Vetstein. Being an active Zionist student leader has essentially become a substitute for institutional responsibility; stepping in to challenge misinformation and misconduct where faculty and administrators either cannot or will not intervene.
After October 7, 2023, Israeli hostage flyers were torn down, students chanted “there is only one solution, Intifada revolution” in the middle of campus, and hateful notes appeared on a Jewish student’s dorm-room whiteboard. The university’s response? A single generic statement condemning both antisemitism and Islamophobia while calling for “mutual respect.” When members of the student paper "The Scarlet" engaged in harassment, a meeting with the Dean of Students produced no follow-up.
Whether through incompetence or animosity, the result is the same: Jewish and Zionist students stand largely alone. In the absence of meaningful leadership from the institution that is supposed to protect them, they have become the only ones actively confronting anti-Zionism on campus

Everybody's focused on Lyndsey Fifield's experiences with Platner because she's a Republican. But here's what Jenny Racicot, a lifelong Democrat who dated Platner and spoke to the NYT about an "unsettling" experience she had with him years ago, has to say about him.
Speaking with @TheFP, Racicot explained that she is a supporter of Platner’s policies—but not who he is as a person.
“I had good memories with him, but also, there’s a side of him that I had an experience with that caused me to cut off all contact and to not support him as a person,” she said. “It was eating me alive to see somebody that I know to be one way publicly portray themselves a different way.” W/@FrannieBlock:

Yesterday, Graham Platner secured the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine. It’s a remarkable result given the scandals that have plagued his campaign.
For The Free Press, Frannie Block and Audrey Fahlberg spoke to his ex-girlfriend,Lyndsey Fifield about the vicious backlash she got for going public about Platner.

Whenever anti-Israel activists and politicians like @RepThomasMassie run out of legitimate arguments, they resort to hysterical, decades-old conspiracy mongering about the USS Liberty.
Let’s look at the actual facts of the incident, rather than the unhinged myths being pushed for political points: 🧵
🧵 The Lawfare Project has asked U.S. authorities to revoke the visa of beIN Sports broadcaster Ibrahim Khadra and place him in removal proceedings because his documented pattern of glorifying Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists renders him inadmissible to the U.S.
NPR is trying to rewrite history in its recent interview with Mahmoud Khalil, framing the Columbia graduate student as a simple victim of a government crackdown on "pro-Palestine speech." But there is a massive difference between free speech and actively supporting terror.
What @NPR conveniently left out of the "softball" interview was Khalil's extremism and refusal to condemn Hamas.
Beyond leading the chaotic Columbia University campus protests that forced Jewish students into hiding, Khalil is a former UNRWA officer, an organization currently under fire for deep-seated ties to Hamas.
From leading genocidal chants in Arabic to allegedly distributing literal Hamas propaganda on campus, his actions speak far louder than his media defense.
Now, Khalil is fighting deportation after being caught lying on his green card application.
He is also facing a major civil lawsuit from the October 7th victims, alleging he aided Hamas based on what captors told one now-freed hostage.
Instead of holding him accountable or asking serious questions, NPR spent the interview laughing about his son's birthday party and garnering sympathy for someone who wants to eradicate the State of Israel.
Media outlets have a profound responsibility to seek the truth and provide balanced coverage. Alas, NPR fails to uphold that responsibility and continues to obscure extremism.
The @nytimes and @NBCNews published exclusive reports alleging an Israeli espionage threat to the United States.
The stories quickly went viral, with allegations treated as established fact.
Yet beneath the headlines lie anonymous sources, unseen reports, and claims the public cannot independently verify.
This is how a weakly sourced story becomes a widely accepted narrative: first reported as an allegation, then repeated as fact.

Everyone wants to know: When will the war with Iran end?
But what the West calls a single war with Iran is just one round of hostilities in a decades-long conflict that will likely continue for decades more, argues @HavivRettigGur.
CAMERA's @dmlitman, speaking to @ShaiDavidai on the @HereIAmWithShai podcast, explains how Israel went from David to Goliath in the eyes of the mainstream media:
