This escalation continues the trend of increasing rocket launches recorded last month. It also reflects the feverish pace at which Hamas and other jihad groups in Gaza have been stockpiling weapons, taking advantage of the relative calm as Islamic law intends it: an opportunity for the jihadists to regroup and re-arm for the next round.

Gaza opens first domestic violence shelter
This article includes the disclaimer: “like every society [Gaza] is not immune to wife-beating.” But there’s something it has that others don’t: chapter and verse in the Qur’an instructing men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the […]
“New route of weapons smuggled from Libya” to Hamas in Gaza

Rally for bin Laden in Gaza: “That is the man who shattered the crosses … That man through whom Allah distinguished men of truth from men of falsehood”
In the face of statements like that, suddenly the usual “underlying causes” — poverty, alienation, lack of education, even “Zionist” conspiracies — don’t cut it as well to explain the culture of genocidal hatred and religious intolerance that simmers in Gaza. Gee, maybe there are underlying causes underlying the “underlying causes.” Ones with chapter and […]
Spencer: Egypt comes out for Hamas
In the lead article at Front Page this morning I discuss the significance of this story: In one of the clearest signs yet that the “Arab Spring” in post-Mubarak Egypt heralds a resurgent Islamic supremacism rather than a flowering of Western-style pluralism and democracy, Egyptian officials announced Wednesday that they were reopening the Rafah crossing […]
Egypt to open Gaza border crossing: what could possibly go wrong?
This move helps Hamas have it both ways: They are a jihad-terrorist pseudo-state that demands “Palestinian” autonomy while waging war against Israel, but are open on the other hand to existing as what looks like it will amount to a dependent extension of Egypt as much as Egypt permits it (and as long as Hamas […]
