Jews erased from history while Israel defends civilization against terror, denial, and media-enabled antisemitic revisionism.
Early this month, several major Western media outlets published their annual “year in photos” retrospectives, claiming to capture the defining moments of 2025. Collectively, they presented hundreds of images meant to summarize war, upheaval, tragedy, and history.
One reality was conspicuously absent: antisemitism.
Despite a record-breaking year of antisemitic violence across multiple continents—including murders, arson attacks, vehicular assaults, and attempted mass killings—editors at Time magazine, The New York Times, and ABC News concluded that Jewish suffering did not merit visual documentation.
Jews were murdered in public spaces, attacked during religious holidays, burned alive, and targeted in places of culture and worship. Yet these crimes failed the editorial threshold of importance. Gaza’s destruction appeared repeatedly. The perpetrators—terrorists embedded among civilians—did not.
Where antisemitism was impossible to ignore, it was softened, blurred, or linguistically erased. One memorial image was shown without naming Jews. Victims were reduced to abstractions. Terror was rebranded as context.
Campus extremism followed the same pattern. Violent demonstrations praising Hamas and calling for Jewish eradication were reframed as benign “pro-Palestinian” protests. Arrests for arson and public endangerment were recast as political victimhood. Even figures openly aligned with antisemitic terror were humanized, sanitized, and protected from scrutiny.
This erasure extends beyond current events into history itself.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, delivered a statement commemorating the Holocaust—without mentioning Jews. Six million victims became an unnamed mass. A genocide with a specific target was transformed into a vague moral lesson.
The omission was not accidental. It fits a broader pattern in which Jewish identity is removed unless it can be vilified. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro publicly called out the silence, warning that normalization of antisemitism now reaches the highest offices.
The same historical cleansing appeared in coverage by BBC, where repeated references to “six million people” replaced Jews entirely. The apology that followed was procedural, not corrective. Damage done at scale cannot be undone quietly.
This is not neutrality. It is narrative engineering.
Jews are removed from their own catastrophe while Israel is condemned for refusing annihilation. Palestinian and broader Arab political leadership is absolved of responsibility for nurturing jihadist culture, while Israel alone is burdened with moral scrutiny no other nation endures.
If Jews are invisible as victims, their defenders can be framed as villains.
That is the logic now driving global coverage.
Israel’s war against Hamas is not only military. It is a battle against historical erasure, moral inversion, and a media ecosystem increasingly willing to excuse terror—so long as the target is Jewish.
