  • DNC Set to Convene While Stance on Israel Roils Party

  • 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).

  • 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

  • Billionaires vs. Zohran Mamdani

    “A social-media screed by hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman (net worth: upward of $9 billion) was damn near apoplectic that activists and voters had so terribly transgressed.

  • Does Mamdani’s Win Mean Voters Will “Embrace Truly Progressive Change”?

    In a statement, RootsAction said “we announced our support on the day his campaign launched in October because we knew that his platform — with such planks as freezing rent, creating free bus service, and no-cost childcare — was tailored to help working people in New York City, not the landlord lobby.”

  • War with Iran: * Media Coverage * Corruption at IAEA

    “The New York Times‘ echo of the standard Israeli and U.S. propaganda line offers an opportunity to critically examine this most recent justification for aggressive war.

    “President Trump has usurped the war power of Congress in making the United States a belligerent against Iran by systematic provision of intelligence, weapons, advisors, and military personnel in support of Israel’s criminal war of aggression. Mr. Trump tacitly acknowledged American belligerency in boasting, ‘we now have complete and total control of the skies over…

  • Israel’s Gaza Killing Spree, Netanyahu’s Manipulation of Americans

    “Israel murdered this baby along with two of his siblings yesterday in Jabalia. … the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, BBC, and others! … You justified his killing with your coverage, even before he was born. Even after his murder, you did not run a story on him. You dehumanized him and his family. You…

  • “Impunity is Fueling Israel’s Spiraling Aggression”

    The New Statesman writes in “Impunity is fueling Israel’s spiraling aggression” that “Israel attacked Iran not out of fear but out of hubris. … This is the overwhelming lesson Israel has drawn from the past 20 months amid its intensifying onslaught on Gaza: there is no limit to what the world will let it get…
