Durban Conference Shunned by 48 Countries
The UN’s Durban Conference was set up in 2001 to advance the fight against racism, but it quickly turned into a platform for antisemitism and attacks on Israel.
The subsequent Goldstone report was relatively quickly dismissed by many as a distortion of the truth.
Following a diplomatic and advocacy campaign by the organisation UN Watch, 48 countries chose not to take part in the UN’s 25th anniversary commemorative event. This is a significant achievement that shows how sustained advocacy can shape countries’ positions and reduce the legitimacy given to events promoting antisemitic and anti-Israel messages.

Stealth Jihad of the West. Is Anyone Paying Attention ?
§ Stealth jihad is well advanced in the
U.S., with the entire American left enabling and aiding the expansion of Muslim
political power, without realizing or caring that they are supporting a
radically intolerant and supremacist ideology.
§ We see in particular [in Europe] the
increase of churches being bought and transformed into mosques. Muslims in
general prefer this to building new buildings: the transformation of a church
into a mosque is for them a visible manifestation of Islam's victory,
superiority over Christianity, and coming hegemony.
§ Hundreds of years of jihad attacks
weakened and ultimately destroyed the Roman Empire in Constantinople. The
failure to get help from the West... played a large role in Constantinople's
ultimate fall, as well as disunity among the leaders of the empire itself. Some
were even short-sighted and self-serving enough to seek and obtain help from
Muslim forces.
§ The U.S. faces a similar threat from
short-sighted and self-serving leaders of our own. The Democrats are busy
encouraging the growth of Muslim political power, while insisting on ignoring
the political, supremacist, expansionist and violent aspects of Sharia. Few
politicians are aware of the nature and magnitude of the threat, or are
resolved to do anything about it. If this continues, we will eventually face
our own May 29, 1453 -- the fall of Constantinople ....
§ [P]robably all religions are affected,
even though there are some notable individuals who have not been afraid to
speak out -- or prevented from doing so.

NAZA - The Real Story
The IDF have issued a documentary NAZA The Real Story https://nazadocumentary.com/ countering all the misinformation in the Guardian's film which is full of lies, misinformation and distortions
How did the film NAZA even got into the festival competition. The lineup was declared final on July 23; NAZA’s entry only materialized on August 24. A film that enters a month after the list was locked has not been selected normally. It has been inserted, without even a Clinton-esque explanation that it depends what the meaning of “final” is.
Was it orchestrated? Does it matter? Everyone in that artsy audience understood what was happening, which is why the claps and cheers went on strong long after they could plausibly mean anything about artistic merit of any film. They were clapping to make a point: to one another, to the cameras, to the media, and to us, as together they reveled in their genteel contempt for Israel.
In The Guardian’s anti-Zionist kangaroo court, both in their news content and their recent foray into filmmaking, Zionists are seen as their misfortune. Thus, the anti-Israel verdict is predetermined, and exculpatory evidence is never allowed to be presented.
Media Reporting Judea and Samaria
What Actually Happened
The IDF responded to an arson and attempted stabbing attack at Hanania's farm near Geva Binyamin in Samaria.
A Palestinian terrorist
set fire to one of the farm vehicles and then threatened residents with a
knife. The residents responded by driving another vehicle into the terrorist,
removing the threat. No stabbing injuries were reported from the incident.
What Actually was Reported in the Media
The settlers drove a vehicle into a Palestinian, eliminating him.
Summary,
No context, just fitting the story to a pre conceived agenda
