By Max Blumenthal One year after Charlie Kirk’s killing, The Charlie Kirk Show is distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel and his widow, Erika, has reversed his critical positions on the US-Israeli special relationship.

The imam at the mosque Michigan Senate Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed regularly attends has called homosexuality "against human nature" and told congregants they are obligated to vote for El-Sayed, raising fresh questions about the candidate's associations. Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi, who leads the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor, described El-Sayed's narrow Democratic primary win as a "very big victory for the Muslims" and told worshippers three days later, on August 7, that electing the candidate was not optional but mandatory. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Algizawi's remarks, captured on video by the Middle East Media Research Institute, went further, framing El-Sayed's candidacy as a vehicle for transforming…Open

Comedians in Portugal are boycotting a major festival headlined by Jerry Seinfeld over his pro-Israel stance, the latest chapter in a campaign of confrontation and protest that has followed the comedian since 2024.

Actress and comedian Inês Aires Pereira followed, telling Breitbart : "We cannot relativise or normalise a genocide." The boycott marks an escalation from heckling and…Open

A British media group born out of a pro-Palestinian "hack for Gaza" is running a worldwide campaign to keep cinemas from screening Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming film, while insisting the effort has nothing to do with the Jewish actor's support for Israel. NewsCord, a U.K.-based outfit founded in late 2023, roughly a month after Hamas's October 7 attack, has been flooding theaters with what it describes as tens of thousands of emails from moviegoers demanding they refuse to show Ali G: Who Iz I?, the first Ali G film in two decades. The group frames its objection as a stand against racial stereotypes. But financial disclosures reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show that an Irish investor who also bankrolls an anti-Israel publication…Open

Progressive commentator Hasan Piker equated Israel’s “right to exist” with that of Nazi Germany during a recent interview, sparking criticism from scholars and deepening divisions among Democrats over rhetoric on Israel and antisemitism. During an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” on Saturday, Twitch streamer Hasan Piker made a series of sweeping statements about Israel, its founding, and its legitimacy as a nation. Piker declared that Israel “does not have a right to exist” in its current form, calling it a “settler colonial operation” that he claimed seeks “the expulsion or complete extermination of the indigenous population as an apartheid state.” He argued that asking about Israel’s right to exist is “like…Open

The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining.

The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining. Between August 10 and August 20, the Times published at least four articles built around the "Islamophobia" label, including a front-page feature with four reporter bylines and a lengthy dispatch from Dearborn, Michigan, that buried a deadly antisemitic attack deep in its twenty-fifth paragraph. The burst of coverage followed election victories by two prominent Muslim Democratic politicians and a remark by President Trump calling certain Democratic candidates "jihadists." At every turn, the paper's…Open
