I began to meet with Bob Bernstein, iconic founder of @hrw, shortly after the organization played a leading role in the infamous #Antisemitic Durban NGO Forum. The moral betrayal of @KenRoth @ReedBrody and others was very painful for Bob, as expressed in his @nytimes oped

President Trump says an agreement with Iran is "all signed," but @ksadjadpour tells @mkraju, "this is not a moment of celebration. This is a potential pause in a hot war, a return to cold war."

Again @TheLancet medical journal published pseudo-scientific Palestinian propaganda, dressed up with graphs, meaningless algorithms & fake data from Hamas/Palestinian sources, UN agencies that parrot Hamas etal, and "Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor" - a notorius Hamas-run NGO (ngo-monitor.org/ngos/euro-me…).

@MSF_USA systematically violates regulations on tax-free status (501c3), including Hamas terrorists among staff. Pull the plug. Now. ngo-monitor.org/reports/ngo-…

A Palestinian state is a means to an end - peace. But if this theoretical state is a bigger version of Gaza, and the Palestinian goal remains erasing Israel thru mass terror, it ends in another disaster. Germany's govt is right in rejecting Europe's misguided folly. @GerAmbTLV @IsraelinGermany

For many years @TheLancet was a major platform for anti-Israeli demonization under the façade of science & medicine. Between 2001 & 2014, @rochardhorton1 published 264 articles on Palestinian issues, consisting of opinion and false medical content. ngo-monitor.org/in-the-media…

Editor of @TheLancet @richardhorton1 has a long history of antisemitism and professional misconduct. @ElsevierConnect should have removed him many years ago. >>

Trump/Iran reality check: Wait for it...

Every journalist who knows the importance of "follow the money" admires the data driven investigations that are the hallmark of @AsraNomani. Last October, a week before the New York mayoral election, she stitched together the complex ethno-religious web of progressive nonprofits and radical imams who had engineered Mamdani's rise to power. At the time, I was taping my "Journalism 101" course for the @petersonacademy, and I cited her meticulous reporting of what she called the "Mamdani Machine" as a prime example of data journalism. I'm glad to see she is back on familiar ground today, at the 'spontaneous' No Kings protest in Washington D.C., where she is talking about the more than 400 organizing groups, with a $3 billion annual revenue, and the familiar big-money funders, including George Soros, Neville Roy Singham, the Tides Foundation, and many others. What I like about Asra's reporting is that most of her work relies on publicly available sources of information, including the often dense 990 tax filings of the groups themselves. It is tedious and time-consuming work but the results never cease to surprise.

Trump gets his "deal" - Happy Birthday. The regime survives and more - the illusion of victory. But they remain extremely vulnerable, and Israel (regardless of leadership) will be ready to hit hard. Watch this space.

Reality and sanity check 🇮🇱🇺🇸 @LindseyGrahamSC

Among the 'health organizations' advocating boycott of the Israeli Medical Association, is the deeply Antisemitic Jewish Voices For Peace (JVP). It is obscene that the Lancet legitimizes a group who chants “hey hey, ho ho, the Yahudi [Jews] have got to go.” JVP also organized many of the campus encampments and blamed the October 7th massacre of civilians by Hamas on Israel. The Lancet has leveraged its position as a respected medical journal to give voice to terrorist apologists and propagandists, undermining its role in medical research. @TheLancet @jvplive @JvpAction @ADL

Once the Strait is open, the conflict is paused, and Iran can sell oil and import/export again, it will have little reason to seek a long-term deal’s performance-based rewards which require major concessions on the nuclear file. For 20 years, it has endured economic pain to maintain a nuclear weapons option. Thus, the status quo—entombed enriched uranium stocks, active underground sites like Pickaxe Mtn, unknown centrifuge stockpiles, and no IAEA access—will likely continue indefinitely.

Netanyahu took a calculated risk by hitting Hezbollah HQ in Beirut. 1) He demonstrated a degree of independence from Trump, which is important but could backfire. 2) If Tehran sends more missiles, and Israel strikes Iran, the reportedly bad deal could unravel. And if Iran doesn't respond, a precedent is set for responding to future violations.
