If you want to see academics debunked just watch this show. After the car crash with Omer Bartov now it's Alex de Waal. We see how de Waal ignores quantitative data when they are against the hypothesis of a famine occurring and prefers to work with subjectivity.

There’s no explanation for this that is good for the U.S.

No American president -- no real American president, no real American -- would do this.

Xi is thinking that he cannot fathom his good fortune that this ridiculous insecure easily manipulated childlike oaf has somehow managed to spend the past decade+ as his supposed greatest geopolitical foe & simultaneous fangirl.

This is how most of the anti-Israel stories work because what matters is creating a narrative by throwing stuff at the wall, not whether it is true. And there are no consequences for lying or misinforming audiences while attacking Israel. It only gets rewarded.

The pager attack was perhaps the most targeted effort to minimize collateral damage in military history. Curiously there has been and continues to be a lot of anger about it. Because the angry are pro-terrorist.

In this week's episode, I tell a personal story about facing an angry group of anti-Iraq war protesters during the big London march on Parliament in 2003. May interest! piped.video/watch?v=qVymo7Qr…

For years, major Western outlets treated Motaz Azaiza as a trusted voice from Gaza, profiling him, quoting him, and elevating his work. Then he spoke openly in Arabic about cooperation between Gazan journalists and Hamas. Of the 12 outlets that had previously cited him, all 12 stayed silent. When the source changes the story, suddenly the media loses interest. honestreporting.com/the-medi…

"I could not have given him an easier layup." University of Michigan student Iman Dashti joins @WillCainShow after confronting Abdul El-Sayed with a direct question: "I wanted to ask if you stand unequivocally against the IRGC?" But El-Sayed dodged answering his question. Dashti says he wanted a clear condemnation, telling Will Cain: "Just say you're against the world's largest sponsor of terror." "I think it has something to do with the fact that a lot of his supporters are very supportive of the IRGC. They love the Iranian regime and he doesn't want to alienate them." "He has an extreme base that just agrees with these horrible, horrible ideas that the majority of Americans don't believe in." @willcain

Update: Belleville Sons of Jacob shooting Police Chief Murray Rodd plays an audio recording of Sean Ward shouting, "You're going to die for the Jews," before he began shooting at Constable Jeff Smith, who was on-duty, protecting the synagogue and its worshippers on Yom Kippur.

#BREAKING "Make no mistake, this was a targeted attack against the jewish community." Chief of Belleville police just played chilling video captured during Sunday's synagogue attack. In it, you can hear the attacker scream, "you are going to die for the Jews". Chief is praising selflessness of officers for making sure there weren't more casualties.

The "don't conflate Israel and diaspora Jews" gambit is pure extortion. It invites diaspora Jews to seek safety by condoning -and even validating- terrorist violence against Israel. It's an offer to spurn. Of course we're conflated, proudly so. piped.video/watch?v=qVymo7Qr…

As Americans seem to be more hostile to one another over their politics, it is beneficial to “find some kind of connective tissue” for a more productive conversation, Jessica Tarlov of Fox News’s The Five explains on The David Frum Show. Watch the entire episode: piped.video/watch?v=qVymo7Qr…

For nearly three years, CPJ helped push the incendiary narrative that Israel was systematically slaughtering journalists. Now CPJ just announced that it has removed another 22 people from its database. Twenty were removed after new research established “engagement in combat," meaning terrorism. That’s on top of 8 it had already removed after determining they were Hamas or PIJ combatants. So CPJ has now removed 28 supposed journalists for literal participation in hostilities. And understand how absurdly narrow CPJ’s standard is. Affiliation with Hamas or PIJ doesn’t disqualify you. Even membership in an armed group doesn’t automatically disqualify you. CPJ only draws the line at actual engagement in combat. Yet even by that ridiculous standard, 28 names failed their test. The review began after Hamas and PIJ themselves published obituaries identifying supposed “journalists” as combatants. And those obituaries keep coming. CPJ’s credibility should be in tatters — for good.
