It’s all a lie. The Oct 7 massacres were not carried out to create a ‘Palestinian’ state, to break out of an ‘open air prison’ in Gaza or any of the lies the media has systemically deluged us with. They did it to capture Jerusalem. That’s why Hamas named the operation ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ after the victory mosque formerly planted by Muslim invaders on the site of the Jewish Temple. That’s why Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh began his Oct 7 invasion speech with complaints about Jewish presence prayers at the Temple site near the Al-Aqsa mosque. That’s why the Hamas emblem features the Al-Aqsa mosque between two crossed swords. Israeli soldiers who served in Gaza reported seeing those same images in homes around Gaza after the Islamic Jihadist group had spent a generation riling up the Muslim population to launch a holy war to conquer Jerusalem. And it’s not just Hamas. Arafat had constantly proclaimed his vision of “millions of martyrs marching to Jerusalem.” That line is still broadcast by Pal...

On July 23, 1968, the era of terrorist airline hijacking and hostage taking went into full swing when terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked an El-Al flight originating in London’s Heathrow Airport and headed out of Rome on the way to Israel. What became the world’s longest hijacking lasted for forty days. The PLO’s UN observer bragged that the hijackings had “awakened the media and public opinion much more” than its political propaganda. France paid a $7.5 million ransom and the hijackers were flown out to their destination of choice after Israel released 16 terrorists with blood on their hands. Notes from the Johnson administration had initially expressed its concern “over serious blow(s) to international civil air transport which likely arise if hijacking of El Al aircraft permitted to stand… this incident, if not quickly redressed, might stimulate competitive hijacking attempts.” And indeed it did. The hijacking by a Marxist-Islamist group...

On the heels of the UK recognizing an Islamic terrorist state in Israel, police arrested the third known person for criticizing Hamas and released a Muslim man who had gone on a stabbing spree after he saw a Koran being burned. Or as the judge in the case put it, “the holy Koran.” Who is the Koran holy to? The political and judicial systems of the United Kingdom which have effectively enacted Islamic Sharia blasphemy law by selectively prosecuting those who offend Islam. But not those who offend the religious sensibilities of Christians or Jews. Do whatever you like with a cross or a bible, but touch a Koran and you’re not only under arrest. You’re also fair game for a stabbing. Hamit Coskun, a half-Armenian and half-Kurdish gentleman, both of whose halves have suffered from genocide under Turkish Islamist rule, decided to protest by burning a copy of the Koran outside the Turkish consulate in London while shouting “Islam is religion of terrorism”. Moussa Kadri set out to prove him rig...

On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Now it’s time to cut off their funding and go after those groups that support them. In 2023, Freedom Center Investigates exclusively reported that Antifa was raising money through the same Democratic Party platform used by the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). When Kamala became the candidate, the Harris-Walz campaign went on to use that same platform. And the DNC and Antifa are both still on it today. The Action Network claimed credit for raising over $70 million for Kamala in 24 hours. The DNC admitted that the “Action Network has been foundational to the DNC’s fundraising and organizing success over the years”. And it’s been foundational to Antifa’s success. Over the years, Freedom Center Investigates documented multiple Antifa groups fundraising on the favorite platform used by the Democratic Party. Today, Defend DC, can still be found there rais...

Some two weeks before the 2nd anniversary of October 7, the UN, the UK, France, Australia, Canada and other failed radical governments rallied to commemorate the massacres, kidnappings and rapes by giving the Islamic terrorists responsible for it their own ‘state’. Along with a High Holidays gift to the Jews celebrating their new year. The invention of a ‘Palestinian’ state is the capstone to the Big Lie that this is a war between Israel and some smaller population in Gaza or the West Bank rather than a regional conflict between Muslims and Jews, as part of a global conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims. Since Oct 7, Israel has been forced to fight not only Hamas in Gaza, but Muslim terrorist forces in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran. A possible war with Egypt may be on the horizon. And while that may seem like a lot, but back in 1948, Israel was forced to fight its War of Independence against genocidal invasions by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. During...

There are too many criminals in prison and Mamdani wants to let half of them out. Mamdani complained that the Adams administration had increased the number of criminals in Rikers Island by a thousand and claimed that “we can reduce that jail population to less than four thousand”. The infamous New York City prison has around 7,000 criminals on average and Mamdani cited a pro-crime proposal to reduce the number in there to only 3,700 criminals. That would mean freeing some 3,300 or 47%, nearly half, of the criminals there. Pro-crime policies such as eliminating bail already put most criminals back on the street almost as soon as they’re arrested. The limited number of criminals still being remanded are the worst of the worst. After years of being fed sob stories about shoplifters going to Rikers, Mamdani and the pro-crime activists trying to free half the criminals from Rikers aren’t even pretending. Mamdani cited an article by an activist from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice,...

Charlie Kirk died for the same cause that David Horowitz was assaulted for, that Robert Spencer was banned for, and that Ben Shapiro faced bomb threats for: free speech on campus. In an academic environment where a respected 74-year-old scholar like Charles Murray could be physically assaulted at a college while the perpetrators walked away with a ‘mark’ on their permanent record, the willingness of conservatives to appear on campus was an act of courage. To do it the way that Charlie Kirk did was sheer heroism. There’s no question that he made an impact on a minority of students and there’s also no question that the majority of campuses, professors and students only became more hostile to free speech since his campaign began. The numbers are sadly clear and they’ve only been getting worse over the years. 1 in 3 students support using violence to silence opposing speakers. 7 out of 10 want to shout down controversial speakers like those who oppose the transgender and BLM movements. T...
