They say they’re freeing Palestine, avenging Gaza, or simply against Israel. They call it anti-Zionism. They swear they aren’t antisemitic. But their targets are the same: Jews

Israelis are heading to the polls on October 27 🇮🇱🗳️. But unlike elections in the US, they're not voting for a specific candidate, they're voting for political parties. With 120 seats in the Knesset, a 3.25% electoral threshold, and 61 seats needed to form a government, winning the most votes doesn't necessarily mean taking power. So how does Israel actually choose its leaders? Check out our full breakdown here: https://honestreporting.com/how-does-israels-electoral-system-really-work/

Brad Lander is running for Congress in New York. With Election Day less than two weeks away, he’s in the West Bank picking olives and filming campaign content. He says the trip is about exposing the “reality of the occupation.” But the timing makes the political calculation hard to miss. Instead of spending the final stretch before an election talking to New Yorkers about New York, he’s attaching himself to one of the most viral international stories of the moment. No new policy. No solution. No meaningful change for Israelis or Palestinians. Just a foreign conflict turned into congressional clickbait.

Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank haven’t voted in legislative elections since 2006. Meanwhile, Arab citizens of Israel, who make up roughly 21% of the population, vote in Israeli elections just like every other citizen, as they have throughout Israel’s history. The media can keep repeating the accusation that Israel is an apartheid state, but the inconvenient reality remains: Arab citizens of Israel have an equal vote and a voice in the country’s democracy.

UK, Australia, Canada, and France recognized a Palestinian state after Mahmoud Abbas promised elections in 2026. He just postponed them again, to 2027. Pay-for-slay continues under a new name. School textbooks still glorify terrorists and reject a two-state solution. Recognition was the prize. The conditions were the price. The price was never paid, and there are no consequences. Why trust any PA promises about peace?

Peter Beinart defended Brad Lander’s West Bank olive-harvest stunt by comparing him to the Jews who went to Mississippi for Freedom Summer. The Palestinians Beinart champions did not respond to their circumstances with nonviolent marches. They responded with kidnappings, suicide bombings, and October 7. Lander is not a Freedom Summer volunteer. The West Bank is not Jim Crow Mississippi. Hijacking Black history to launder anti-Israel activism does not make the comparison true.
