Hamas goes full ISIS, and some still call for Israeli restraint

Their actions bear a horrifying resemblance to the atrocities committed by the Islamic State, whose infamous online videos in the mid-2010s as a means of psychological warfare rocked the West to its core.

Will the ‘most-read’ human-rights story of 2021 continue in 2022?

They attack Jews online like they do in the streets

Facebook must stand steadfast in the face of an anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic campaign and ensure that Jews aren’t targeted by euphemisms and fancy wordplay.
