  • 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

  • The Role of Democrats in Iran Policy

    Some experts say that Democratic lawmakers and the Biden administration missed key opportunities to shift course on Iran, with the result of a deepening crisis shaped by a longstanding reluctance or refusal to prioritize diplomacy.

  • “Madman Theory” in War

    Thomas Reifer contends that we are drifting into an uncontained and potentially global war in which world leaders are deliberately acting mad.

  • Iran and U.S. Clash at Nuclear Meeting

  • Israel Illegally Attacks Flotilla to Gaza

    “The Israel regime’s attack on yet another humanitarian flotilla is a grave breach of international humanitarian law, a violation of the law of the sea, an extension of its genocide in Palestine to international and Greek waters, and a product of the impunity granted to it by complicit Western states. The regime’s lawlessness is shared…

  • Lindsey Graham’s Path to a Civil War in Lebanon

  • The War Powers Resolution Is Not What You’ve Been Told

    “The same law says that a president who launches a war in any of those three situations, then has 48 hours to submit his first report explaining himself, and 60 days after that report (62 days total — plus a possible extra 30) to entirely knock it off. But none of those three situations exists.…
