  • DNC Set to Convene While Stance on Israel Roils Party

  • Trump and “Madman Doctrine”

    “What makes this moment so troubling is not just the scale of the conflict, but how it grew out of years of distorted debate, where Iran was reduced to simplistic, fear-driven narratives and serious warnings were brushed aside.”

  • Trump Dominates UN, Israel Ethnically Cleanses in Lebanon

    “The UN Security Council will consider another outrageous resolution [Friday], this time drafted by Bahrain (the current UNSC President and a US-Israel ally). A month into the U.S.-Israel unlawful aggression on Iran, the draft is entirely silent on the aggression, its perpetrators, and on ending the attacks, and instead seeks to expand the conflict by authorizing military force against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and even in Iranian territorial waters.”

  • Statement from the Board of Directors and Executive Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy

    The Institute for Public Accuracy has received dismayed inquiries about a recent post on the personal X account of Sam Husseini, who is IPA’s communications director and senior analyst. The post––“BREAKING: Iran kills FIVE BILLION PEOPLE”––was not attributed to or in any way endorsed by IPA, nor would such content ever appear on an IPA feed, website, statement or news release. At the same time that Mr. Husseini of course has a right to express his opinion as an individual, we want to make clear that IPA does not condone his sarcastic post. As an organization dedicated to human rights for…

  • Misleading Spin About the SAVE Act

    The SAVE Act would “throw up obstacles for all voters, making it more difficult for them to access their rights,” FAIR media analyst Julie Hollar writes. She argues that many mainstream media outlets have failed to properly cover the dangers of the SAVE Act or to debunk Republicans’ false claims about voter fraud, instead falling back on “standard framing of ‘Republicans say X, Democrats say Y’––or, worse, of ‘Democrats vs. the public.’” 

  • Jewish Power Party Wins Death Penalty by Noose

    “The Knesset’s approved legislation will no longer perform the death penalty via lethal injection but rather transform the execution of Palestinian detainees into a colonial spectacle. In other words, the original mode of colonial execution has been restored as the chosen method of capital punishment par excellence.“

  • Trump and Putin Must Seize the Moment in Alaska

    “The nuclear nonproliferation and arms control regime painstakingly constructed during the 20th century has been systematically and purposefully undermined, increasing the danger that nuclear weapons will be used again. George W. Bush’s decision to exit the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002 undermined the United States and Russia’s working diplomatic relationship and opened the door wider…

  • “Greater Israel” and “Mirage” of “Two State Solution”

    “On the one hand, we have Netanyahu with his ‘Greater Israel,’ which is an old Zionist romantic idea of expanding Israel ‘from the Nile to the Euphrates,’ which has a false biblical claim to it and will draw support from Christian Zionist politicians like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to…

  • UN General Assembly: Deploy International Protection Force to Gaza

    “Now that Palestine has formally requested protection forces, the UN General Assembly should move urgently to mandate such a force under a Uniting for Peace resolution.

If these words reach…
