The Lawfare Project

Gerard Filitti, senior counsel with The Lawfare Project, a Jewish civil and human rights organization, described the case in more detail in comments to Fox News Digital. “In May, The Lawfare Project sent The New York Times a seven-page retraction demand on the [Nicholas] Kristof column, documenting that the column’s primary source is chaired by a man on Israel’s list of Hamas operatives who called the October 7 attackers ‘heroic knights,’ and that its validating expert left UCLA amid sexual harassment allegations involving minors,” Filitti said. “The Times’ deputy general counsel answered that he saw ‘no basis for a retraction or correction’ because the story ‘was carefully edited and fact-checked.’ Yet less than two months later, the paper’s executive editor said the newsroom ‘wouldn’t have done that exact piece,’” he continued. “Shortly after our demand, the paper’s own shareholders asked a narrower question – whether anyone above the editors checks that the Times follows its own written standards — and the Times refused to even provide them with the charters and standards handbook it already publishes. “The petition filed today puts the Times’ credibility in front of a judge, along with a record the paper has refused to answer anywhere else: 72 errors the paper admitted in eight months of war coverage, 48 of them about Israel; a front-page caption calling a Gaza child ‘born healthy’ that the paper walked back five days later; a columnist who quoted his own campaign donors in at least a dozen columns without telling readers; a 10-year Jewish employee told by Human Resources, according to the petition, to ‘go find a place whose values align with yours;’ and a federal jury that found the Times liable for defamation on August 20, the paper’s first loss at trial in more than fifty years,” Filitti added.

LAWFARE PROJECT WIN: Judge tosses lawsuit accusing Jewish couple of getting Muslim lawyer fired over anti-Israel posts. A federal judge in Florida has dismissed a lawsuit from a Muslim attorney who accused a Jewish couple of conspiring to get her fired by publicizing her anti-Israel social media posts. Zohra Khorashi, described in court papers as a Muslim woman of Pakistani origin who worked at Chartwell Law Offices in Miami from 2018 to 2024, filed the suit in the Southern District of Florida last year. It sought hefty compensatory and punitive damages. “People who speak out against antisemitism should not have to face meritless lawsuits for sharing truthful public information and expressing their views,” said Benjamin Ryberg, attorney and chief operating officer at the Lawfare Project. Her complaint accused Gadi Beer, a Pennsylvania attorney who helped found Chartwell in 2002, of doxing her over posts she made to her public Instagram account after Hamas slaughtered Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023. “Efforts to use litigation to intimidate or silence Jewish voices cannot go unchallenged, and we are grateful to organizations like The Lawfare Project that are willing to stand up against attempts to chill lawful speech and advocacy,” the Beers said.

ARTICLE LINK IN STORY 🗞️ We applaud these shareholders for taking action to hold purveyors of fake news accountable. The civil rights of Jews are harmed when lies and falsehoods become accepted as truth. This lawsuit is a step towards change.

Colombia has withdrawn its participation in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Tuesday. Its new president, Abelardo De la Espriella, is in the process of restoring ties with Israel and the United States. He also recognizes that the Evangelical Christian base that helped put him in office expects him to deliver the Jerusalem embassy he promised on the campaign trail. After four years of Islamist propaganda from the presidential palace, Colombia is finally back to sanity and is setting its foreign policy in its own national interest.

According to Eitan Fischberger, the following news outlets have journalists in Gaza: Reuters, AP, NYT, CNN, Wapo, PBS, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Drop Site News. Little wonder that the mainstream news runs Hamas propaganda instead of real news. Sources are important, and these sources are compromised.

In an 8-4 vote, the Republican-controlled board approved a revised high school social studies standards on September 4. The changes, scheduled for implementation in 2030, included teaching Christianity’s influence on American history and identifying 1948 as the year Israel was established “in the ancestral homeland of the Jews,” the Houston Chronicle reported. Finally, a state that teaches real history instead of indoctrinating students with propaganda. Every state should follow Texas’s example.

@macklemore is now actually hurting the children in Gaza by donating to UNRWA, the United Nations Relief Works Agency. UNRWA has invited Hamas terrorists into its schools to recruit children for suicide, homicide attacks, and uses children’s schools as rocket launching bases. If Macklemore cared about children in Gaza, then he would want to free Gaza from Hamas, the terrorist group that abuses them. Instead he wants to shout “Free Palestine” And virtue signal black-and-white as though that somehow absolves him from any critical thinking or responsibility for his actions. @foxbusiness @foxnews @stoolpresidente

The United States has denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an entry visa to attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week, a source familiar with the case said Wednesday. In a separate statement that did not mention Abbas by name, the State Department say it would deny visas to members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and officials with the Palestinian Authority (PA), “as a consequence of their failure to reform, contrary to their commitments to the United States, and their ongoing activities that undermine the prospects for peace.” “This includes initiating and supporting actions at international organizations that undermine and contradict prior commitments,” the department also said. Washington also accused the organizations of “taking actions to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict including through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking to bypass negotiations through seeking unilateral recognition, and continuing to pay stipends to terrorists and to glorify acts of terrorism and terrorists in public pronouncements and school textbooks.” The United States cannot allow international bodies to become kangaroo courts used in lawfare against us - or our allies.

My take: @macklemore is a Jew-hater. @mr.robertkraft did the right thing by not allowing him to perform on @teddysphotos tour. This is more than Jew-hatred, it is the politicization of our artistic spaces with Islamist extremism by terror sympathizers. @marthamaccallum @thestoryfnc

We wish that Ed Sheeran bravely called Macklemore out but we applaud the venue owners for their collective decision. The venues that stood up against Macklemore’s Jew-hatred have spent years funding racial justice and fighting discrimination. Jews deserve the same solidarity. With so many activists sending emails and reaching out to the venues and live nation and more about this, this is a true testament that ACTIVISM WORKS! Collective Pressure for the win!
