In Short:No. The 1967 attack on the USS Liberty was a tragic case of mistaken identity during the fog of war. Ten official U.S. investigations and three Israeli inquiries all reached the same conclusion: it was a blunder, not a conspiracy. The Accusation That Won’t Die For decades, conspiracy theorists have claimed that Israel knowingly […]

What Did Charlie Kirk Believe About AIPAC’s Influence on U.S. Sovereignty?
What Did Charlie Kirk Believe About AIPAC’s Influence on U.S. Sovereignty? Charlie repeatedly said that AIPAC is not nearly as powerful as people think. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become a convenient bogeyman for both the far left and parts of the so-called woke right. They talk about it as if it’s some […]
Is Israel Intentionally Killing Civilians in Gaza?
In Short No. Israel targets Hamas terrorists, not civilians — and goes to unprecedented lengths to minimize civilian harm, while Hamas deliberately endangers its own people. Background The accusation that Israel is “slaughtering innocents” in Gaza has become a rallying cry across the world. Protesters, pundits, and even some governments repeat claims that tens of […]
Is Israel Intentionally Starving Gaza?
In short No. Israel facilitates massive amounts of humanitarian aid to Gaza every single day — food, water, medicine, fuel, and shelter supplies — even as Hamas continues to attack Israeli civilians and hold hostages. The Myth of “Starving Gaza” For the past two years, anti-Israel activists have accused Israel of using hunger as a […]
Hamas Is NOT a Good-Faith Partner in Peace
In Short: Hamas is not a resistance movement seeking peace – it is an Islamist terrorist organization committed to Israel’s destruction, guilty of violating every ceasefire it has ever signed and rejecting the very idea of coexistence. Background In February 2024, Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill claimed in The Telegraph that Hamas could one […]
Was Jeffrey Epstein Working for the Mossad?
In Short: No. There is no credible evidence that Jeffrey Epstein ever worked for the Mossad or for any branch of the Israeli government. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who directly oversaw Israel’s intelligence agencies, has called the claim “categorically and totally false.” Multiple U.S. investigations — including those conducted under the Trump administration […]
Were the Jews Responsible for 9/11?
In Short: No. Jews and Israelis had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. The perpetrators were al-Qaeda terrorists, and Israel mourned alongside America while Palestinians and radical Islamists were filmed celebrating. Why People Blame Israel or “the Jews” for 9/11 Since 2001, antisemites and conspiracy theorists have spread the lie that “Israelis danced” on […]
Do Congressional Trips to Israel Cross the Line?
In Short: No. Congressional trips to Israel are legal, transparent, bipartisan, and approved by the House Ethics Committee. They are no different from visits to other U.S. allies such as Japan, Jordan, or the United Kingdom. Why Critics Call Israel Trips “Lobbying Junkets” Critics often accuse congressional trips to Israel of being “nefarious lobbying junkets.” […]
Does AIPAC Really Buy Influence in Washington?
In Short No. AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is an American grassroots organization that represents U.S. citizens who support Israel. It operates transparently under U.S. law. The real foreign lobbies in Washington are Qatar, China, and Saudi Arabia, which spend billions of dollars to buy access and shape policy. Background For decades, critics […]
The ADL’s Leftist Political Activism Has Replaced Its Jewish Mission
The ADL’s Crisis of Trust The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), once America’s foremost Jewish defense organization, is facing a major backlash after years of political drift. Following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, outrage erupted when it was revealed that the ADL had listed his organization as “extremist.” The truth is that […]
