The Israelis have been remarkable at coming up with new offensive weaponry, such as the Merkava-4 tank, and new defensive weaponry, such as the Iron Dome and Iron Beam anti-missile defense systems. And now we learn that the IDF has found a new, lethal use for its out-of-date armored personnel carriers (APCs). Laden with explosives, […]

In Gaza, the IDF Keeps On Keeping On
While all eyes are on the IDF’s planned invasion of Gaza City, with dire warnings coming from so many countries that do not want the embattled Jewish state to defend itself, but instead, to agree to the latest proposal for a ceasefire by Hamas, the IDF has been quietly continuing its campaign of picking off […]
Another ‘Starving Gazan’ Suffering from a Congenital Illness
The nightly news offers up heartrending images of Gazans, mainly children, who are all skin and bones, and are universally described as victims of a “famine” deliberately caused by the heartless Israelis. It turns out that many of these emaciated Gazans were suffering not from starvation, but from congenital illnesses that give them that appearance […]
New York Times Falsely Claims Israel Decreases Aid to Gaza
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis, or CAMERA, has recently called to account the New York Times, which continues to insist — wrongly — that Israel has been steadily “blocking food aid” aid to Gaza.

The Gazans Soak Up the World’s Attention

“The Laws of Armed Conflict now carry a glaring asterisk: ‘Except for Israel'”

Special Rules of War for the Jewish State
Elder of Ziyon takes issue with the claim recently made in the far-left British Guardian, that 83% of those killed in Gaza have been civilians. Apparently the only people in Gaza who can be considered combatants are those to whom the IDF can identify by name; all the others must be assumed to have been […]
Gazans Blame Hamas for Food Shortages
The UN and a host of agencies specializing in famine relief claim that Israel is deliberately starving the civilians in Gaza, while the Israelis blame Hamas, for stealing, hoarding, and reselling so much of the food aid meant to be distributed for free to Gazans. They can’t both be telling the truth. Now the Gazans […]
