Israel versus Wokeamerica

A Deal Based on Lies: The Iran Nuclear Agreement Will Make War More Likely

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18845/iran-nuclear-deal-lies These are the effects of the proposed nuclear deal brokered by the EU, Russia and China.

Exposing the Lie of Israel Apartheid

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18094/israel-apartheid The lie of "Israeli apartheid" was dreamt up in Moscow during the Cold War and driven home by a relentless Soviet propaganda campaign until it took hold in the UN and across the Middle East and the West. This included the repeated comparison of Israel with South Africa in the Soviet media and in books such as "Zionism and Apartheid", an official state publication of Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union.
