Honesty is lost when Jews are involved

Now that there is a deal between Israel and Hamas. (See The Washington Post article: “Israel, Hamas agree to ceasefire deal” 1/16/25), we should reflect on how the deal got done. But first, it requires an examination of obvious falsehoods that were propagated throughout the media. Where were the fact-checkers? Where were the Pinocchios?
With all the screeching about so-called famine and imaginary genocide in Gaza, you would think Hamas would do anything for a deal, not using stalling tactics or jockeying for the release of more terrorists. This is blatantly obvious. Why was there no media calling them out? Why were our leaders not calling them out?
Never in the history of the world does the loser of war after war get away with making such demands of the winner. But wait, the Gazans and their supporters – after all their screaming and protesting of genocide – have declared themselves winners. Huh? Note to media: they were lying all along.
Honesty is lost when Jews are involved. This is as clear as day. Sadly, most major media outlets are living at night.
