FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Federal Labor MP Craig Thomson has been caught out plagiarising a report after a $24,000 42-day overseas study trip.
Fairfax Media says Mr Thomson passed off speeches by overseas officials and outdated Wikipedia articles as his own work.
It said a compilation of overseas travel reports tabled in parliament last month also concealed Mr Thomson’s failure to submit his report within the 30-day deadline.
It was eventually handed in four months late.
The Labor MP spent at least $23,899 of his overseas travel entitlement between March 26 and May 8 visiting Britain, Ireland, France, Spain and the US.
Fairfax said more than 60 per cent of Mr Thomson’s 33-page report, including most of its analysis and commentary, had been cut and pasted from internet sources.
It said Mr Thomson’s analysis of US fiscal policy was lifted from a speech given by John Lipsky, first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
His summing up of European Union financial reforms was taken from a speech given by European Commission member Michael Barnier in Vilnius, Lithuania on September 8, four months after Mr Thomson returned to Australia.
And much of his rundown on economic conditions in Ireland and Spain was taken from outdated Wikipedia articles, Fairfax said.
