Asharq al-Awsat reports the material disappeared during transportation: A dirty bomb, if set off, would cause radioactive pollution across the region. The use of the weapon would […]
Haaretz: The Palestinian ambassador to the US, Riyad Mansour, vowed the Palestinians “would ‘make life miserable’ for the United States” if Donald Trump moves the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "We have a lot of weapons in the UN", claims Riyad Mansour, who didn't explain why none of them are being […]
It is unfortunate enough that terrorist groups are consistently referred to as “militants” in many media outlets. Patrick Martin’s description of Hamas as a “resistance movement” in his most recent article for Canada’s Globe and Mail is entirely inappropriate and bestows a legitimacy on the actions of an organization recognized by Canada (and others) as a terrorist […]

It’s not […]

The Guardian was the first to pick up on a German academic study by historian Harriet Scharnberg. Among her explosive findings: a. While other Western news outlets couldn’t report from Germany, “AP was only able retain its access by entering into […]
A disgruntled ex-jihadi gave Sky News a stolen memory stick containing the names, addresses and phone numbers of 22,000 Islamic State recruits from 51 countries. All had filled out a 23-question form before being inducted into the IS ranks. But the key breakthrough from the documents is the revealing of the identities of a number […]
Hot on the heels of Israel’s erasure from the map by CNN, NPR, and the Health Professions Council of South Africa, the latest example has been brought to our attention.
