Witkoff doesn’t just want Trump spending his second term rebuilding Gaza. He wants J.D. Vance to spend his two terms rebuilding Gaza. In my article early last week, “Trump Should Pull Out of Gaza Nation Building”, I warned that this was coming. If the Trump administration backs the deal, it will be forced to act as […]
Who are the Terrorists Whom Israel is Freeing?
Israel has committed itself to freeing 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including many who are serving life sentences for multiple murders. And for these 1,900, Israel is getting back a mere handful of hostages — likely no more than fifty remain alive of the 98 hostages Hamas supposedly still holds — all of them innocents. Perhaps you’d […]
Hamas top dog: ‘Today, our people are a role model of patience, steadfastness, and jihad’
Does Trump or anyone else really think that these people will now stop trying to murder Israelis? “Senior Hamas Official Khalil Al-Hayya At Cairo Reception For Palestinian Prisoners Released In Hostage Deal: Our People Are A Model Of Jihad; This Is The First Time Palestinians Returned To An Area After Being Expelled,” MEMRI, January 28, […]
71-Year-Old Israeli Grandfather Recounts His Horrific Experience as a Captive of Hamas
Luis Har is a 71-year-old Israeli grandfather who was taken from his home at Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on October 7, 2023 by Hamas terrorists. He was finally freed from captivity in the Gazan city of Rafah in “a daring military operation” carried out by the IDF in February 2024. More on his story, which he […]
Hamas confirms that its top dog Mohammed Deif, one of the masterminds of Oct. 7, is dead
They lost Haniyeh, Sinwar, and Deif, and yet still count it as a victory, and with good reason: the objective was to destroy Hamas utterly, but now the Biden and Trump administrations have prevented Israel from doing that. “Hamas confirms death of October 7 mastermind Mohammed Deif,” AFP, January 30, 2025: Hamas confirmed on Thursday the […]
Hamas’ ‘Victory Narrative’ as a Recruitment Tool
Hamas has been battered by the IDF over the past fifteen months of war in Gaza. Twenty thousand of its operatives, about half its prewar numbers, have been killed. Tens of thousands more have been wounded, many so severely that they will never be able to engage in combat again. The IDF has destroyed or […]
‘Experts’ warn: Trump’s Gaza ‘displacement’ plan to Egypt and Jordan ‘could ignite regional instability’
It’s rather peculiar how “experts” proclaim that instability will ensue if Muslims settle in the lands of other Muslims, but those same “experts” would likely be silent over the invasion of unvetted Muslim migrants into the West. These “experts” would also be silent about the resettling of Palestinians into Western countries who stand by the “resistance” […]
Iran threatens US and Israel: it would be a ‘very bad disaster’ to attack its nuclear facilities
It would be an even worse “disaster” to allow Iran’s Shia doomsday regime to acquire a nuclear bomb. The Islamic Republic of Iran is now in a weakened state, as it has lost ally Syria; its chief proxy Hizballah is greatly weakened; and its client Hamas has been weakened as well. In desperation, it’s talking […]

In Gaza, Let’s Not Declare a Victory Yet
As I noted earlier today, the Israeli historian Amotz Asa-El believes that the “war in Gaza is over” and Israel has won. And there are good reasons to think so. Hamas had expected IDF airstrikes, but did not believe that the IDF would enter the urban warrens in Gaza, where the terrorists and their weapons […]
