It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2. Little wonder it looks like this. Not filmed with anything fancy, just an iPhone through a window. There’s no avoiding the scale of destruction. itv.com/news/2025-08-0…

Grok put antisemitic lies in a Jewish man’s mouth in a language he didn’t even speak. “Zionist money,” “curses on gentiles,” “mocking non-Jews.” The video went viral. Grok repeated the same antisemitic script across different prompts. This wasn’t a one-off. Antisemitism always

Well, we had shared the footage posted by GB Politics to correct the record… But they seem to have deleted their post! Here is the original footage. To repeat, the officer is actually saying: “If you see any FLASHES, left or right, you deal" - (in the context of flashpoints)

This image has been widely shared on multiple platforms for days, with the false claim that it shows an IDF soldier getting married after losing both of his legs in the war in Gaza. The problem? The soldier doesn't exist. The image is AI-generated and the story is fake.

David Icke wants you to believe that some random meme is proof positive that he's been right all along to claim that the world is run by an elite band of shape-shifting reptilian humanoids.

This photo has been circulating since this morning as supposed “proof” of staged hunger in Gaza. But where exactly is the “staging” here? It’s just a photographer capturing people waiting for a charity meal (Tikyya). The attempts to deny starvation in Gaza are unbelievable.

Iran has executed an individual accused of spying for Israel today. The judiciary-run Mizan said that Roozbeh Vadi was “working at one of Iran’s key and sensitive institutions, and given his level of access, he became an appealing target for foreign intelligence services”.

After months of Israeli blockade and turmoil distributing supplies, children in Gaza are dying from malnutrition, aid workers and doctors say. The biggest impact is on those with special needs, because the high-calorie foods and nutritional supplements they need have run out.

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

Chris Cuomo has posted a blatantly fake video of @aoc. It’s so fake that it’s clearly labeled as parody AI at the top. Video on the right.

The claim that Israel killed its own civilians via IDF helicopter fire on October 7th as part of a plot to blame Hamas and justify launching a major war on Gaza is a lie that's been repeatedly debunked since October 2023 but keeps going viral again and again.

This is a blatant lie by an account that repeatedly posts misinformation about the UK. This incident happened in Scotland in 2022 and the perpetrator is named Sneaky Duncan Johnstone, who was later convicted and sent to prison. Source: edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…
