Israel has long plotted the downfall of UNRWA, aware that it is one of the biggest obstacles to eradicating the Palestinians as a people.

Why the Guardian’s ‘Hamas mass rape’ story doesn’t pass the sniff test

How is it that journalists are not pausing to question the outrageous improbability of so many of the evidence-poor rape stories being advanced?

Why is the real story of October 7 off-limits to western, but not Israeli, media?
