There is no point in invoking morality, decency, or any suchlike stuff, in appealing to the pro-Palestinian groups that have been spewing their antisemitic venom on campuses from sea to shining sea to cease and desist. But a just-announced lawsuit against two of those groups could lead to a possible hit to their pocketbook, and […]
Hamas Demands US Guarantee In Writing a Permanent Ceasefire and a Total Israeli Withdrawal from Gaza
Hamas is on the ropes. At least 15,000 of its operatives have been killed by the IDF. After being pummeled in the north and in the center of Gaza, it is now under assault by the IDF in Rafah, in the southernmost part of the Strip. The IDF fighters have fought their way into the […]
Making the War About the Hostages Was a Mistake
“No one has an idea” of how many hostages in Gaza are alive, a Hamas official said. While Israel has an extensive list of hostages, Hamas has never made such a list or provided one. It occasionally released selected hostage videos or claimed that one or another hostage was deceased. Truthfully or not. The actual […]
How The Hostages Were Mistreated: The Latest Testimonies
We know that the number of Israeli hostages who are still alive in Hamas’ captivity keeps declining, for they are steadily being murdered, one by one, by their Hamas captives. Israel now believes that of the 136 Israelis who remained as captives after the hostage-for-prisoner swap in November, and the rescue of three hostages before […]
Only 9% of Palestinians think Hamas committed war crimes
Many refuse to believe that the majority of Palestinians support Hamas, but they forget that Hamas was elected by the Palestinian people. A new poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) shows up what Palestinian culture really is: it is comprised of a people who seek a one-state solution, that is, […]

Antony Blinken at an impasse in Hamas ‘negotiations’ for Israeli ceasefire, blames Hamas
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has found himself in an embarrassing position, as his negotiations with Hamas have inevitably failed. Blinken is now blaming Hamas to try to save face, while Hamas is blaming him. His foolish efforts to negotiate with Hamas were doomed before they started. Jihadists do not negotiate in good faith […]
Mental Torture: Hostages Forced to Read the Qur’an
Those Hamas kidnappers, it turns out, came up with a fiendish form of psychological torture for their Israeli hostages. As Robert Spencer noted briefly here, according to the four hostages just freed in a daring raid in Nuseirat, they were required by their captors to read the Qur’an. Could a more sinister form of mental […]
There Are No Civilians in Gaza
Hamas are the civilians. Americans expected Osama bin Laden to be found in a cave in Afghanistan. In reality, he was living comfortably in a military town in Pakistan under the protection of local authorities. Similarly, Israeli hostages, including the four who were last rescued, have come home telling stories of being kept captive in […]
What Will Biden Offer Hamas in Hostage Deal?
Can this get worse than Biden’s $6 billion Iran hostage deal? Even as the Biden administration is still trying to undermine Israel by pushing its proposed deal which would save Hamas and leave it in charge in Gaza, the administration is also considering a private deal with Hamas. Biden administration officials have discussed potentially negotiating a unilateral […]
