UK papers printed the Board of Deputies against Palestine solidarity in 64 articles. Palestinians got to answer in 4.

Britain's papers have made the Board of Deputies the voice of British Jews on Palestine. They print its attacks on Palestine solidarity as the Jewish community's verdict, never tell readers its constitution commits it to "advance Israel's security, welfare and standing", and shut Palestinians out of stories about their own land.

UK Lawyers for Israel keeps crying wolf. Regulators keep finding nothing. Hospitals and councils take Palestine down anyway.

UKLFI has reported dozens of charities to Britain's regulators. Where we could find the outcome, the regulator found nothing against the charity in 11 cases out of 14. Its letters to hospitals, councils and colleges work better: Gaza children's art, nurses' badges and Palestinian flags have come down after them.

Police recorded 3,162 hate crimes against Jews in a year. The count does not say how many were attacks on Jews and how many were words about Israel.

Antisemitism is real, and Jewish people in Britain are attacked for being Jewish. But the count meant to measure it also counts words about Israel, because CST, the charity that shares reports with the police, follows the IHRA definition that treats comparing Israel to the Nazis as antisemitic, and Met guidance obtained under Freedom of Information says the Arabic word for resistance should be investigated. The Home Office publishes no breakdown, so nobody can say how many of the 3,162 crimes were attacks on Jews. By Nima Akram.

Green Party members voted that Zionism is racism. The Telegraph went after the Palestinian woman who wrote the motion.

Green Party members voted 1,022 to 813 that Zionism is racism. The Telegraph printed 'hunted down' as Lubna Speitan's words though they came from an anonymous X account, headlined a 'good friend' nobody named, and left out that her legal challenge made the Met look again at war crimes accusations against Britons who served in Gaza.

Israeli occupation forces ordered that no vehicle return to Gaza. Their own investigations name Israelis they killed. The BBC never named the order.

At 11:22 on 7 October 2023 the Gaza Division of the Israeli occupation forces told its units that not a single vehicle could return to Gaza, and at 11:59 Southern Command ordered any withdrawal stopped at any cost. The Israeli occupation's own investigations and memorial records put 13 deaths down to Israeli fire, and the IOF decided its safety department would not investigate the rest. The BBC has not named the Hannibal Directive in three years. We read 4,367 articles by 28 Western outlets from the week after the attack: 49.4% condemned it in their own words and 0.7% condemned the Israeli occupation's killing in Gaza. Of 144 articles that carried false atrocity claims, not one has been corrected or taken down. By Nima Akram.

Fifteen news reports on the Greens' Zionism vote gave the Israeli state 773 words and Palestinians 98. Thirteen quoted no Palestinian at all.

Green Party members voted 1,022 to 813 to treat Zionism as racism and to back one democratic state with equal rights for all. We counted every word of 15 reports by the BBC, the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Mail, the wires and others, by whose position each word carried. Opponents got 5,632 words and supporters 620. Eight of the ten reports that quoted the single-state clause cut it before equal rights for all, none of 22 headlines named Palestinians, Gaza or genocide, and the Telegraph rewrote its evening headline to carry Israel's accusation of terrorism.

A year to the day after a UN inquiry found Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, the LA Times ran an Israeli government ad that draws Gaza as Israel.

On 16 September 2026 the Los Angeles Times published a paid travel page branded by Israel's Ministry of Tourism. Its map draws the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights as Israel, and the ads send readers to nine sites on occupied land without once using the word occupied. The Times's own news pages call that land occupied. We are asking the Times to take the ads down: a corrected version would still sell holidays on occupied land.

Larry Ellison gave Israel's army charity $26m and hosted Netanyahu on his island. His family now owns CBS News, a slice of TikTok, and has a signed $111bn deal for CNN.

We followed the money behind the outlets that set the agenda in America and Britain: who owns them, where they are incorporated and taxed, what their owners have given, signed or said about Israel, and what they did with the megaphone. Seven owners take more than half of all visits to the top 50 US news sites. The Ellisons own CBS News and The Free Press, hold 15 per cent of TikTok US and have a court-frozen deal for CNN. Amazon holds Israel's $1.2bn military cloud contract. Axel Springer makes support for Israel a written condition of employment and, since June 2026, owns the Daily Telegraph. In Britain the papers that generalise most about Muslims are owned from Delaware, Berlin, Dubai and Bermuda. The thread is a chequebook and a political project, not a religion, and most of the men holding it are not Jewish. By Nima Akram.

A Yale study says the New York Times is biased against Israel. Its own tables show the paper gave a dead Israeli 25 times the coverage of a dead Palestinian.

Edieal Pinker's study of 1,559 New York Times articles on Israel's genocide in Gaza is being reported as proof of anti-Israel bias. Its headline finding is that the Times did not remind readers of 7 October in every article. It never divides by the dead. Using the paper's own tables and the Gaza Ministry of Health count, a dead Israeli got 25 times the coverage of a dead Palestinian, a dead Israeli soldier 16 times, and one hostage more articles than a thousand Palestinian dead. The ministry count is a floor: the Lancet puts the true toll 41 per cent higher, which widens the gap to about 40 to 1. We also set out the author's own record on Israel and Gaza, who read his drafts, and who is promoting the result. By Nima Akram.

The 'Ceasefire' Is a Lie

Since 10 October 2025, Israel has attacked Gaza on 252 of 279 counted days and killed at least 1,127 Palestinians, more than 260 of them children: a child a day. Satellite analyses show the 'temporary' yellow line concreted, bermed and moved inward as Israeli-held territory grew from about half the Strip towards 70 per cent, and cabinet ministers now march to the fence announcing new illegal settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. The day-by-day record, every figure sourced.
