Why not, "New blow to Gaza peace deal as Hamas still hasn't returned the body of hostage Ran Gvili," @IrishTimes.com? Hamas hasn't fulfilled its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. How about holding the terrorist org accountable instead of solely blaming Israel?

New year, same ol' whitewashing of terrorism. Instead of focusing on Marwan Barghouti's history of terrorism and incitement, @NPR's interview with his son practically turned the arch-terrorist into a saint. This wasn't journalism, it was publicly-funded PR for a terrorist.

Zohran Mamdani has "demurred," has he, @washingtonpost.com? Actually, he believes in the end of Israel as a Jewish state and supports the antisemitic BDS movement. Rather than demurring on the question, he's made himself crystal clear. So stop whitewashing his hatred of Israel.

Note to Lara Marlowe: Israel never "carpet-bombed" Gaza; every air strike on terror infrastructure was targeted with precision weapons. And humanitarian aid is not blocked; 4,200 aid trucks are entering Gaza weekly. Just another day of lies and hyperbole from @IrishTimes.com.

Mark Weiss is reporting from Jerusalem. Yet, according to @IrishTimes.com, it's Tel Aviv making all the capital moves. Forget recognition of Somaliland. How about ending the use of Tel Aviv as a metonym for Israel's government and start recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital?

The scare quotes weren't enough for UPI. It had to deem it a "so-called" terror attack. And with the perpetrator "allegedly" killing the Israeli victims, could UPI do anything more to whitewash terror?

An order to respond forcefully. A curfew. Arrest raids. All framed as "military retaliation." Misrepresenting IDF counterterror operations as acts of vengeance is how France24 delegitimizes preventing terrorist attacks against Israeli Jews.

The BBC elevates fringe antizionist Jews to speak for British Jewry, despite data showing most British Jews are Zionists. That isn’t representation. It’s tokenization, and it reframes Jew-hate as a reaction to Israel rather than a prejudice against Jews. honestreporting.com/antizionism-...

9/ ⚖️ Yes, Israel faces debates about religion & law - as do many democracies - but CNN presents these as new or unique problems when they are long-standing societal conversations.
140
HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
8/ 🔫 The article suggests a link between gun ownership and femicide, yet offers no data to support this. In Israel, post-Oct. 7 gun purchases were largely defensive & regulated.
120
HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
7/ ⚖️ CNN also wrongly ties reduced women’s political representation to rights erosion. Representation can fluctuate across democracies - it doesn’t automatically signal systemic regression.

HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
6/ ⚖️ CNN compares Israel to a peaceful democracy like the US - ignoring that Israel faces sustained multi-front warfare, skewing the narrative.
120
HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
5/ 🔁 Because Israel’s drop in ranking is tied to ongoing war and security conditions, which the original article failed to disclose until after publication - despite this directly impacting the index.

4/ According to the Index, Israel ranks below: 🇸🇦Saudi: women require a male guardian 🇴🇲Oman: openly discriminates against women in terms of divorce & legal guardianship 🇶🇦Qatar: unmarried women under 25 require a guardian’s permission to leave the country How is this possible?

HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
3/ 📊 CNN relies on the Women Peace & Security Index (WPS Index) without questioning its methodology. The index blends unrelated indicators (e.g., cellphone use, conflict exposure), not a pure gender-rights measure.
120
HonestReporting @honestreporting.com · 25/12/2025
2/ 📸 The cover image features a “Handmaid’s Tale”-style protest from nearly three years ago against legal reforms -- not a current reflection of women’s rights in Israel. Context matters.
