No One Killed More Journalists Than Israel, Except Everybody Else

Whenever the media speaks with one voice about a complex issue you know it’s lying through its teeth. 

Maybe that’s why in every war in modern history, all sides took the trouble to try to punch the enemy’s media’s teeth out.

And I’m not talking figuratively.

That’s right. Everyone kills journalists. The people trying to sell you the Gaza War is some kind of a unique assault on journalists are banking on their audience’s ignorance of what real wars look like and their short memory regarding events that happened during their lifetime. Even events happening right now.

Last week, having exhausted the famine libel, Amnesty UK vomited the insane lie that only 69 journalists were killed during WWII while 242 journalists were killed in Gaza. Various media personalities quickly jumped on this claim even though to accept it one has to be clinically retarded.

69 journalists killed in the largest war and most widespread genocide in human history? A war that saw thousands of towns and villages wiped off the face of the Earth? A war that killed 60-70 million people and included several sides that systematically murdered journalists as a general policy such as the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany? A war in which entire cities were incinerated overnight?

This claim is so patently false I won’t even bother debunking it. Because, again, if you believe it you’re a literally incapable of thinking and I don’t write for people who have the intelligence of cartoon ducks.

Instead, I want to focus on something else. Not only everyone kills journalists, everyone kills journalists on purpose. In fact, the Allies hung or imprisoned journalists after the war under the authority of international law. I’m not talking about journalists by day, terrorists by night like in Gaza, but actual fulltime journalists who did nothing but write and talk.

Julius Streicher was the publisher of Der Stürmer. William Joyce was a radio broadcaster. Both got the rope. Neither were a part of the government or military hierarchy. 

I guess, Katt Williams spoke wisely when he said, “You shouldn’t have been talking shit.”

The Allies saw enemy propaganda outlets as part of the war machine and repeatedly bombed them. Just a few examples:

The transmitter masts at Königs Wusterhausen (south of Berlin), used for long-range propaganda broadcasts were attacked in 1943–44.

In 1943, the RAF destroyed Hamburg’s broadcasting facilities, briefly silencing Nazi radio in northern Germany.

Allied air raids in 1944 targeted Reichssender Köln and Reichssender München transmitters, interrupting broadcasts.

RAF bombers attacked EIAR broadcasting infrastructure in Rome in 1943.

The transmitters of Radio Paris at Allouis and Paris were bombed by the RAF in 1943–44 to jam and silence French-language Nazi propaganda.

During the firebombing of Tokyo, U.S. B-29s destroyed much of NHK’s broadcasting facilities.

Their printing plants of Völkischer Beobachter, Angriff were destroyed in RAF bombings in 1943–44.

The Allies killed thousands of what would today be called “journalists” during WWII because they viewed propaganda as a weapon just like rockets or tanks. 

However, you can say that this was a long time ago. Let’s take a look at some more recent wars.

In 1999, NATO bombed Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), killing 16 employees, including journalists, producers, and technicians.

In 2001, the U.S. bombed Al Jazeera's office in Kabul, Afghanistan. 

In 2003, the U.S. bombed Al Jazeera’s Baghdad bureau in Iraq. 

According to Reporters Without Borders, 270 journalists were killed during the American War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that’s peanuts. According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, 707 journalists were killed in Syria.

However, I want to return to the bombing of the RTS because NATO didn’t even bother pretending it was an accident.

According to NATO, RTS was part of the command-and-control structure because it spread propaganda supporting military operations. NATO argued that under the laws of war, facilities contributing to military action can be legitimate targets. 

This certainly applies to Al Jazeera. 

There’s a reason Al Jazeera is getting banned in many Arab countries, including the Palestinian territories and Iraq. It’s not a news network. It’s a well-oiled propaganda machine designed to support terrorism in these areas. 

As we’ve already established, propogandists are seen as legitimate targets by the nations currently screaming at Israel. So what’s the problem? Is this another case of “rules for thee but not for me?” To force such blatant hypocrisy, you need to be an empire but there are no more empires in Europe.

And again, all this is without taking into account that the majority of journalists in Gaza are combatants and worse. Far, far worse.

So, what do you think is the next nonsensical claim the enemy will come up with to pretend this war is a totally unique conflict in human history and not just another war, and frankly far from the biggest?

Rachel stood at the edge of Gaza,

just over a year ago…

a mother with a megaphone,

her voice breaking through wires and hot wind,

shouting for her son.

She was fighting for him.

Her words carried across the sand,

across the barbed fence,

into the unseen tunnels.

But her baby Hersh was murdered shortly after,

along with five others:

Carmel, Eden,

Almog, Ori,

and Alex.

They are known as the Beautiful Six.

I wonder if they heard her shout.

I wonder if any of them knew

how hard we fought

to bring them home.

Across Jerusalem,

across Israel,

their photos glow — even still,

so young, so beautiful,

their faces pressed against our hearts

like icons.

And yet the words that rose

again and again

Are only these:

I’m sorry.

Whispered in vigils,

scrawled in black ink on the posters:

I am sorry.

I am sorry

We did not save you.

And still — on Friday nights

when we gather and sing Shalom Aleichem,

I feel them there as angels.

But they should never have become angels.

They should have gone on to live

ordinary and extraordinary lives:

fathers and mothers,

partners and friends,

a physicist, an artist,

a dancer, a lawyer,

a diplomat, a doctor.

They should be remembered for telling jokes

that didn’t always land,

for being grouchy on tired mornings,

for walking through life’s small corners

with all the grace of the living.

Instead, they have become

the faces of a war

that should never have been.

So let be our call:

never again martyrs,

never again icons carved from grief,

but lives fully lived —

messy, radiant, human.

Because memory without movement

is only grief.

And their memory, as Hersh’s parents said,

must be a revolution.

This symbol ✡️, the 'Star of David', has been a point of contention lately.

But what is its origin? How did it become the center of this flag 🇮🇱?

Let’s uncover its journey throughout history 🧵👇

1/ The Star of David, or Magen David ("Shield of David"), is a six-pointed star formed by two interlocking triangles.  Its earliest uses predate Jewish ties, appearing in ancient Mesopotamia on seals and art, hinting at celestial or divine connections.

2/ Similar stars shone across cultures. 

In ancient India, Mesopotamia (c. 3000 BCE), and Turkey.  Its geometric shape could have been used for its beauty or other religious significance.

3/ When did it appear in Judaism?

The Star emerged by the 3rd century CE, like on a Capernaum synagogue frieze and more (some credit a seal from 7th BCE) 

It later graced medieval Jewish manuscripts and tombstones, often linked to Kabbalistic ideas of divine harmony.

4/ In 1354, King of Bohemia Charles IV approved for the Jews of Prague a red flag with a hexagram.

In 1460, the Jews of Ofen (Buda, now part of Budapest, Hungary) received King Matthias Corvinus with a red flag on which were two Shields of David and two stars.

5/ By the 19th century, European Jewish communities embraced the Star as a symbol of identity, rivaling the Christian cross.

In 1897, the 1st Zionist Congress, headed by Herzl, was debating what flag it would raise..? Here are David Wolffsohn's words describing the decision:

6/ "What flag would we hang in the Congress Hall?  Then an idea struck me. We have a flag—and it is blue and white! The talith with which we wrap ourselves when we pray: that is our symbol... So I ordered a blue and white flag with the Shield of David painted upon it."

7/ During the Holocaust, Nazis forced Jews to wear yellow Stars as a badge of shame.  Post-WWII, Jews reclaimed it as a symbol of resilience. 

With Israel’s founding in 1948, it became central to the national flag.

8/ Today, the Star of David is a global emblem of Jewish culture, faith, and solidarity. From synagogues to jewelry, it reflects a legacy of strength and hope across millennia.

Do you have a Star of David necklace/jewelry or something else?✡️

Have a blessed day 🙏 🇮🇱

Another Image that Lied

On 23 July, the tragic image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq shook the world. Headlines told a story of a boy being forcibly starved in a Gaza famine. My research quickly exposed that story as a lie. Muhammad had cerebral palsy, had been sick since birth, and his siblings were healthy.

Barely a week later, legacy media played the same trick again – this time with a young girl called Maryam.

We are told Maryam was evidence of Gaza’s ‘catastrophic hunger crisis’:

Embarrassingly, the Irish Independent even used her image as a defence against the earlier fake – suggesting Muhammad was an isolated case, but Maryam was proof of mass starvation. The LA Times quoted doctors claiming tests showed ‘no underlying medical condition’ and that her condition was solely the result of hunger and malnutrition.

All of this was false.

Cropping out the Truth

Coverage of Maryam’s tragic case involved deliberate omission. She has siblings – all apparently healthy. In some of the photos, they were present on the same mattress. Editors cropped them out, because their health would expose the lie.

If this were widespread famine, her siblings and mother would also show signs of starvation. They do not.

In one photo you can even see the legs of a healthy sibling just inside the frame:

And in this image, from the same photoshoot, we can clearly see the young, healthy and well fed boy:

Every honest journalist would know that if the family is healthy, then the child has an underlying illness. They chose to cut that part of the story away.

In the heart of Germany, a once-pristine natural treasure, the Reinhardswald, is being devastated under the guise of “saving the planet.”

Known as the “Fairytale Forest” due to its central role in the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, this ancient landscape is home to trees over 500 years old.

The historic forest is believed to be 1000 years old.

However, it is now being transformed into an industrial wasteland to make way for massive wind turbines.

The wind industry and green proponents claim this destruction is necessary for fighting “climate change.” But is it?

In the name of the “green agenda,” the region is being torn apart by the construction of 18 giant wind turbines.

Each turbine reaches a towering height of 244 meters.

To make room for these behemoths, roads are being cut into the forest, thousands of ancient trees are being felled, and once-pristine slopes are being leveled.

Meanwhile, vast amounts of gravel are being dumped across the forest floor.

This isn’t just the installation of wind turbines in open fields; this is large-scale industrial development that is causing irreversible harm to the forest’s delicate ecosystem.

A hair salon in Bentleigh, Victoria, is facing scrutiny after its owner allegedly ejected a client because he was Israeli.

Last Monday, a man attended Juniper Salon for a scheduled appointment. After hearing his foreign accent, the owner, Katrina Ann Smith (who goes by Trina), asked where he was from. When he replied “Israel,” Smith allegedly called him a “genocidal baby killer” and ordered him to leave.

The customer, who spoke to Rebel News, confirmed he intends to take legal action. Penalties for breaches of anti-discrimination law can exceed $100,000 in fines, and tribunals can order offenders to undergo anti-discrimination training.

🚨 UPDATE: Jewish community group calls snap protest outside the salon at 5pm today!

Community fights back: SNAP PROTEST outside ‘progressive’ salon that banned Israeli

Lions of Zion announce protest outside Juniper Salon in Bentleigh at 5pm today.

When Rebel News attended the salon later in the week to question Smith directly, she confirmed the incident had occurred and openly justified her actions. She admitted to expelling the man because he was Israeli, insisting that her conduct did not breach anti-discrimination laws because, in her view, “Israel is not a race.”

Under Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act and Equal Opportunity Act, protections extend beyond race to include both nationality and ethnic origin.

Smith’s position also contrasts sharply with her public statements.

I want Nicholas Decker to go Sderot and tell the kids there that the rocket attacks are just something they need to accept.

People say Israel’s original sin was the Nakba. I say their sin was that the Nakba didn’t happen.

They want more dead Jews
