Anti-Israel activists declared “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” tainted by Israeli-American producer Avi Arad. The presence of Mark Ruffalo in the same credits exposes just how selective their principles are.

Current Affairs turns the Nova massacre into an indictment of its victims, romanticizing Hamas, distorting history and relying on factual errors and faulty citations.

A recent New York Magazine food feature is part of a broader media trend in which ordinary Israeli life – from cuisine and dance music to air conditioning, housing and privacy – is treated as evidence of guilt. This framing moves beyond criticism of Israeli policy toward the pathologizing, and ultimately the delegitimization, of Israeli identity itself.

Across a series of some of the war’s most prominent strikes, The New York Times repeatedly put the school, shelter, hospital or civilian death toll in the headline, while the Hamas or Islamic Jihad target was relegated to the body text, qualified as an Israeli claim or omitted altogether. Revisiting those stories with the evidence that emerged later reveals a substantially different picture.

Another Israeli critic. Another sweeping accusation. Just another day at The New York Times.

Put on the spot at Harvard over his “dog rape” allegation, Nicholas Kristof insisted the claim was independently corroborated. A closer look at those sources tells a very different, and deeply embarrassing, story.

A stabbed captain. A hijack distress code. A plunging aircraft packed with Israelis. Yet major media outlets still called it a “pilot fight,” “cockpit brawl” or “clash.” The coverage of Flydubai Flight FZ1073 showed how quickly terrorism targeting Israelis can be softened, qualified and reframed.

Did Israeli intelligence really make ICC cases disappear? Why did "NAZA" selectively edit Israeli President Isaac Herzog's remarks? And why is The Guardian waiting until late November to make the film freely available? A forensic examination of the award-winning documentary uncovers startling omissions, misleading editing and explosive allegations that remain unsubstantiated.

What was billed as a wave of protests over France's schools descended into widespread violence. Behind the unrest lies an overlapping network of extremist and terrorism-connected anti-Israel organizations, radical-left activists and international allies.

A Michigan Senate ad blames Israel for everything from expensive eggs to Americans' financial struggles. Behind its misleading claims lies Cenk Uygur's history of promoting conspiracy theories about Israeli control of American politics and a familiar pattern of antisemitic scapegoating.
