Daniel Greenfield
It’s a shocking and unexpected development considering that in the previous attacks, the majority of casualties turned out to be from Hamas. The latest information is that 50 of the 62 casualties from the Hamas violence were members of Hamas. Another 3 were from Islamic Jihad. As Jewish Agency spokesman Avi Mayer points out, that…

California Hits High in Social Diseases and Social Justice

California is becoming a one-party STD state. As recently as 2010, California’s governor, lieutenant governor, and state treasurer were all Republicans. Now Democrats hold every statewide elected office. In 2010 there were 19 Republican U.S. House members in the state. Now there are 14. In 2010 there were 15 Republicans in the State Senate and…

Daniel Greenfield
When John Kerry, John Brennan and the rest of the Obama gang do their tour of media green rooms and late lunches offering reproving quotes about Trump’s foreign policy, here’s a reminder of what they oversaw. U.S. military equipment and ammunition, sent to Syria as part of a failed Obama administration plan to find and…

Jordan Peterson Doesn’t Enable Jew-Hatred, The Forward Does
Daniel Greenfield
The Forward, a formerly Jewish paper which today specializes in attacking Jews for an audience of lefty hipsters, decided to do a drive-by attack on Jordan Peterson. “Is Jordan Peterson Enabling Jew Hatred?” Jordan Peterson isn’t. The Forward is. In recent months, the Forward chose to run an editorial defending radical leftist Jeremy Corbyn even…

NBC News Must Apologize for Slandering John Bolton and Gatestone
Daniel Greenfield
Last month, I did a basic fact check on an NBC News hit piece by Heidi Przybyla aimed at John Bolton and the Gatestone Institute. The NBC News hit piece was fairly typical of what journalism looks like today. It was based on innuendo, artfully tying together assorted false claims for a smear, none of…

NBC News rolled out a vicious attack on John Bolton for his work with the respected Gatestone Institute. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, “John Bolton chaired anti-Muslim think tank” and “Gatestone advocacy group’s content is part of echo chamber that includes Russian media.” The front page article on Gatestone’s site right now is Bassam Tawil’s…

#MeToo: New Yorker Accuses Rape Victim of Islamophobia
Daniel Greenfield
The timing couldn’t be better, The New Yorker just picked a Pulitzer for its #MeToo report. What better time to dismiss a rape victim as an Islamophobe. The issue in question is Tariq Ramadan, an Islamist leader from a royal Muslim Brotherhood dynasty, who had become very popular on the left. Then he was accused…

The Pulse Terror Attack Was About Islam Not Homophobia
Daniel Greenfield
An infinite number of monkeys with typewriters could duplicate Macbeth if given enough time. And a finite number of monkeys provided with fully licensed copies of Microsoft Word will eventually write an Avengers movie. (If they haven’t done it already.) Or pretty much anything from Disney these days. And the Huffington Post, if given enough…

Max Boot’s Slimy Smear of Bolton Shows His Hypocrisy
Daniel Greenfield
The Washington Post seems to specialize in hiring Never Trumpers who squawk about principle, but have none. Compare Bret Stephens to Jennifer Rubin, who is now all but defending Iran, and Max Boot. Boot’s latest slimy WaPo smear against John Bolton, is aimed at an audience with no knowledge and no sense of history, either…
