The Israel “Speech Ban” That Does Not Exist
Claims that Americans are not allowed to criticize Israel have been circulating widely online and in political advertising.

Calling Israel an “Apartheid State” Doesn’t Make It True
Claims that Israel is an apartheid state have become a staple of anti-Israel rhetoric in activist circles and on college campuses. The charge is serious.

The Israel ‘Speech Ban’ That Doesn’t Exist
THE LIE ➜ Americans aren’t allowed to criticize Israel because doing so is considered antisemitic and illegal.

No, Tucker: Trump Is Not the First U.S. President to Side With Arab States Over Israel
Claims circulating online that Donald Trump broke historic precedent by siding with an Arab country over Israel are inaccurate and misleading.

Marwan Barghouti Is Not the ‘Palestinian Nelson Mandela’
Marwan Barghouti, a senior Palestinian Authority official imprisoned in Israel for more than two decades, has been increasingly portrayed by activists and celebrities as a political prisoner and likened to Nelson Mandela.

Groypers vs. America First: A Growing Rift Inside the Right
A small but vocal neo-Nazi faction known as the “Groyper” movement has increasingly claimed the banner of “America First.” But a review of the movement’s own rhetoric and public statements by its leader, Nick Fuentes, shows a worldview that sharply conflicts with the constitutional, pro-liberty foundations of the America First doctrine revived by President Donald […]
Is Zionism a Threat to Western Civilization? Claims by Tucker Carlson Spark Backlash
