"This means that almost all Western media outlets have unflinchingly disseminated Hamas propaganda to their tens of millions of viewers, while disregarding Israeli figures almost entirely. The world’s journalists have taken the word of jihadi butchers above the evidence-based testimony of a friendly democracy and shared this narrative with the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that this comprises one of the gravest failures of journalistic scepticism in modern times. The uncomfortable truth is that we have been living through the most intense age of propaganda since Soviet times, made only more appalling by the fact that it has been spread voluntarily within supposedly free societies."

At last night's sold-out Stand Up For Jews comedy benefit at Leicester Square Theatre, we kept hearing the same thing: despite the accelerating rise in anti-Semitism and the isolation many in the Jewish community feel, it's heartening to know that Jews have allies.
Thanks to Al Murray for headlining and to the The Pub Landlord, for sparing no-one. To Josh Howie for compering. To the line-up of Simon Evans, Lee Hurst, Mark Maier, Adam Bloom and Jonathan Kogan for top performances. But most of all to Andy Shaw—a #mensch amongst mensches—who conceived it all and made it happen.
Mensch is a Yiddish word, meaning a person of genuine decency and moral backbone. Today, in 2026, having 'moral backbone' means to stand publicly with the Jewish community at a time when visible solidarity is most in need.

All proceeds from the event will go to Our Fight, Stop the Hate UK, and a Jewish community volunteer organisation.
Watch closely new video showing the U.N. reaction: as courageous former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky confronts October 7th denier Reem al-Salem—by recounting the horrific abuse she suffered from Hamas—the U.N. rapporteur on violence against women sits there stone-faced. No empathy.
Breaking: @AlexCrawfordSky from @skynews and @hugobachega from @bbcnews in huge exclusive about a huge underground Hezbollah tunnel full of rocket launch pads and weapons
Only joking. The Israeli army found it of course. And they killed twenty Hezbollah terrorists while capturing it.
The sad thing is our media is so bad we can actually joke about it. Western journalists see no Hezbollah - hear no Hezbollah - and find no Hezbollah activity even when they are reporting from a funeral surrounded by Hezbollah flags.
In fact tomorrow, both BBC News and Sky News will probably pretend that the twenty Hezbollah terrorists killed by Israel were actually doctors, journalists, pregnant women or 18 month old babies.
Hezbollah are embedded throughout Southern Lebanon - they have turned key sites inside almost every village into a military target and the top journalists from our biggest media platforms have never exposed ONE SINGLE story about any of it.
They have been there years. And they never saw any of it. They should never be forgiven.
Terrorist mouthpieces. That is all they are. Look at the video - see what is right under their noses:
Dear @realDonaldTrump
If Iran did not want Hezbollah to fire at Israel.
Hezbollah would not fire.
Iran signs deal.
Tells Hezbollah to attack
Israel responds
Iran claims ceasefire broken.
U.S. pressures Israel
Israel gets blame
Iran wins more concessions
STOP BEING STUPID!
Dear media
Israel is a democracy that was horrifically attacked on Oct. 7.
Hezbollah is an Islamic terror group that attacked Israel.
Iran is the brutal regime that funds Hezbollah.
Just reminding you because, from much of your reporting, you seem to have this all muddled.
CST welcomes the Court of Appeal’s confirmation that the proscription of Palestine Action is lawful. This judgment clarifies that Palestine Action's campaign of ideologically-driven violence, intimidation and criminality crossed the threshold from legitimate protest into illegal extremism. It is right that the law draws a clear line against those who threaten national security and community cohesion, and we will continue to work with partners to ensure that Jewish communities and wider society are protected.
If there was an instance to brings down this government it’s the resignation of John Healey. Starmer is tone deaf to what people with a brain in the UK want - a strong defence, spending taken from net zero & benefits. But maybe he’s just running scared of his student backbenchers
