Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses…

On his first day in office, Donald Trump lifted all sanctions previously placed on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, a political move that coincided with a series of violent attacks by Israeli settlers targeting Palestinians that same night. While the President has publicly committed to combating violent extremism, extremist settler groups continue to finance…

Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), has lauded his Community Notes feature as a tool to combat fake news. Yet, despite his public commitment to accuracy, Musk has been amplifying tweets from accounts that have garnered the most Community Notes corrections—many of which are right-wing, pro-Israeli, or anti-Muslim. On October 29, 2023, Musk announced…

A network of former intelligence operatives has woven itself into the fabric of right-wing alternative media, amplifying anti-Muslim scare narratives that appear aimed at countering a noted decline in conservative support for Israel since October 7, 2023. Central to this effort is Sarah Adams, a figure promoting conspiracies about a supposed Palestinian-linked Al-Qaeda plot against…

Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria, fears of a renewed ISIS insurgency have intensified. MintPress News has uncovered that, despite Meta’s previously strict policies on banning terrorism-related content, ISIS-linked accounts have been posting freely on its platforms. Although Meta previously removed 26 million pieces of terrorism-related content—an impressive 99% of such material…

In a calculated effort to stoke anti-Muslim hysteria, pro-Israeli right-wing social media accounts distorted the facts surrounding a tragic car-ramming attack on a German Christmas parade. This manipulation aligns with a broader trend of reviving post-9/11 Islamophobia to advance imperialist war narratives that ultimately benefit Israel. When news broke that a Saudi-born man was responsible…

As the designated terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) establishes its proto-government in Idlib, notoriously corrupt NGOs are stepping in to fill the gaps in public services, with some even defecting to work alongside the group. The United States, which spent two decades and $5.4 trillion overthrowing governments hostile to al-Qaeda, now finds itself in…

On the heels of the toppling of the Bashar al-Assad government in Damascus, the United States has directed the emerging transitional order toward a neoliberal economic framework, coupled with efforts to normalize relations with Israel. Through a combination of sanctions, terrorist designations, and strategic foreign aid, U.S. policymakers and think tanks are actively shaping the…

Within hours of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s deposition, the Israeli military launched an unprecedented offensive that seized more land in the Golan Heights. Israel now openly seeks to implement a buffer zone plan that will seize more of Syria’s territory, a plot that has been over a decade in the making. In February 2013,…

Syria has long been a divisive issue. On one hand, the country languished under a demonstrably corrupt and brutal government. On the other, it served as the central lynchpin for the Axis of Resistance—the only network capable of countering Western imperialist plans in the region. Now, both institutions have collapsed. In the interest of uniting…

The New York Times is pushing for regime change in Venezuela and supported a failed coup attempt this summer against President Maduro, who it calls a dictator who won a “tainted election.” Of course, the Times celebrated the short-lived 2002 U.S.-backed coup against Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and has continued to call for another ever since.…

Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has taken a hardline position against Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, advocating policies aimed at reigniting the conflict between Riyadh and Sana’a. Critics warn that his approach could risk dragging the United States into a direct confrontation, escalating tensions in an already volatile region. As vice chair…
