After the explosion at the parking lot of the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, Hamas immediately accused Israel of being responsible, of having committed a “massacre” or even more preposterously, a “genocide.” This hysterical charge was taken up at once and repeated by most of the international media who were perfectly willing to parrot the Hamas […]
Jihad group warns IDF against ground incursion into Gaza: ‘Hell is awaiting you’
They issued a brief video to this effect, showing Islamic jihadis scurrying through tunnels and apparently preparing to rain fire and death upon the IDF. The idea of the video is to frighten the IDF into canceling its plans to enter Gaza, which indicates that the jihadis are themselves afraid of this incursion. And so […]
The Insistence on Palestinians Who Do Not Support Hamas Is Much Too Optimistic
Israel withdrew every last civilian and soldier from Gaza in 2005. There has been no “occupation” of Gaza since then. The Israelis left behind fourteen million dollars worth of greenhouses, so that the Gazans could take over the flourishing export business of fruits and flowers that Israelis had built, and were now leaving to them. […]
Does the IDF’s Morality Need to be Recalibrated?
Israel prides itself on its “purity of arms.” Gil Troy suggests here that given the nature of its enemy, the IDF ought to pay more attention to preserving the lives of its soldiers and less to minimizing civilian casualties among that enemy: “Israeli Soldiers Die Because Its Military Is So Moral; How to Fight the […]

Democrat Senator: Egypt needs to face ‘consequences’ from the US for refusing Palestinian refugees
Putting aside the fact that the Democrats have been disastrous for American interests, Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy has a point that there should be consequences for Egypt for not accepting Palestinian refugees, whatever those consequences might be. For Murphy, his issue is with the big funding in US military aid. There should be global rebuke […]
Trudeau not backing the position that Gaza jihadis, not Israel, bombed al-Ahli hospital
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to refuse to accept the US position that Gaza was bombed by “an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” specifically, by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Trudeau wasn’t willing to accept the proof shown by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Joe Biden; nor was his Foreign Affairs […]
Shifa Hospital is Both a Hospital and a Hamas Hub
Amid all the uproar over the Israeli bombing of al-Ahli Hospital, which turned out actually to have been bombed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, it is important to remember that the Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza has long been recognized as a Hamas outpost. The terror group stores weapons both inside the hospital and in the […]
Ken Roth Falsely Claims That Israel Engages in ‘Collective Punishment’
Ken Roth, the former Human Rights Watch head, who turned that NGO into an unextinguishable fount of anti-Israeli animus, has just tweeted from his new post at Princeton, to which he moved after his one-year, extravagantly-paid year at Harvard’s Kennedy School, the following: “International humanitarian law prohibits collective punishment of…protected persons for acts committed by […]
