News Bulletins and Israel News Insights
The biggest news over the past week has been about the war in Lebanon and how Israel should or will respond to the missile attack from Iran. If this were any other week, we would probably focus on the media bias and misinformation over these two issues. But we’ve decided instead to give you a taste of the issues that are bubbling under the surface and that does not even receive biased coverage outside of Israel. These are not the “top headlines” in Israel this week, but they have been coming up off-and-on over the past year and Israelis all feel them constantly.
The first and most important issue that we will focus on this week is the hostages. All of the major Israeli news broadcasts make a point to remind us, but their fate has still taken a back seat to the northern front and Iran. The change in focus makes sense - but we all need to keep our eyes on the hostages living and dying in hell as we speak about other issues. And every time you hear or read about the importance of a ceasefire - your blood should chill - because it is the release of 101 hostages that must come first. Just try and imagine that you daughter or son, parent or grandparent is being held, starved and tortured day-in and day-out for a year and everyone calls for the police and FBI to take a break and stop the intensive search for your loved ones because their captures and their families need time to calm down.
Giving credit to Bibi is not easy, but he finally did make a good decision. This doesn’t make up for making Oct. 7 possible or mismanagement of the war in Gaza, but he was Prime Minister on Friday and it was his call to approve the bombing of Hassan Nasrallah’s bomb shelter. So he deserves credit. He also deserves credit for the last minute ruse that allowed Nasrallah and many of his top people to feel safe just a few more hours until the bombs dropped.
So before you to read this newsletter, open a bottle of Champagne or whatever else helps you celebrate and enjoy the moment before we delve into the wrong reasons and their potential costs down the road. And maybe, just maybe… his moment of glory might guide him to make a few more good decisions (but most likely he will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory).

This week we focus on two issues, yesterday’s drone attack that killed 4 and wounded 67 young Israelis and the level of fake news in mainstream media throughout the west on both the right and the left. We lead with the drone attack because as of noon here in Israel (3 AM EST) there are still no reports in the mainstream U.S. media. There are however headlines about the deployment of the THAAD missile defense system, which looks like they were were written by the Biden Administration’s press secretary and printed as-is.
This leads to our second focus (Look to the Right, Look to the Left -Fake News on Parade) - the indoctrination that has replaced investigative journalism in the mainstream media in the U.S. and Europe. This may or may not be true of most domestic political issues - we don’t really know - but it is true when it comes to reporting on the Middle East, especially when it comes to coverage of Israel and the Palestinians, and anti-Zionism as a politically-correct façade for pure antisemitism.
We will then touch on hostages because we fear that the hostages are being put on the back burner. Whether this is intentional or not doesn’t really matter - time is running out for 101 hostages and their families. This is not only true for Israelis, but Americans as well - because some of those hostages are United States citizens left to rot as the world marches on.
