The last thing we need to be doing. Forget rebuilding Gaza. Republicans are facing a potential midterm wipeout and the administration unfortunately was dragged into a senseless project to rebuild Gaza by Steven Witkoff, Qatar, Turkey and assorted assets and enemy nations. So I hope this report from the New York Times is wrong because this […]
Hamas Refuses to Disarm, and the IDF Prepares to Do the Job
It’s very simple, really. According to the ceasefire the Trump administration fashioned between Hamas and Israel, in the second phase of the ceasefire, the terror group was obligated to completely disarm. And as many predicted would happen, Hamas now claims it never agreed to such an arrangement, and vows not to comply. The Trump administration […]
IDF detains several Palestinians affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Judea and Samaria
The Palestinian “resistance” is part of the fabric of Palestinian society; the Palestinian Authority incentivizes it via its pay-for-slay program. Islamic State-linked activity has also been on the rise in Israel, particularly in Judea and Samaria. The Jerusalem Post reported in May that “Israel’s defense establishment warned of a sharp rise in involvement by Israeli […]
Hamas top dog Khaled Mashal: ‘As long as there is occupation, there will be resistance’
The trick here is that in reality, there is no occupation, so there should be no resistance. The fact is that Israel is the only country in the world with any actual legal right to the territories that today comprise Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. This is established in the Mandate for Palestine, which […]
Hamas leveraging Bangladesh, Pakistan ties to expand global jihad activity
The geopolitics and security affairs organization USANAS, based in India, states: Hamas’s engagement in countries like Bangladesh fits into a broader strategy of ideological expansion, funding, and recruitment—posing direct challenges to regional security and reinforcing the need for deeper intelligence cooperation among India, Israel, and their partners. The global jihad is religiously sanctioned in Islam. […]
In Gaza, Not All of Israel’s War Aims Have Been Achieved
The founding editor of the Times of Israel, David Horovitz, has looked at Israel’s original war aims in Gaza and finds that aside from the return of the hostages, living and dead, Israel’s goals have not been met. More on his assessment can be found here: “Hamas strengthens and the PA returns — this is […]
Useful idiots: Mormon charities have transferred millions to Hamas-linked NGOs
Why the Mormon church is doing this remains a mystery. One clue may come from my 2008 debate with Daniel Peterson, an influential Mormon professor and author of a hagiographical book about Muhammad entitled Muhammad, Prophet of God. You can see the debate here. The debate topic was “Islam, Threat or Not?,” with Peterson arguing […]
Turkish Media’s Overwhelming Support for Hamas
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hates Israel. He has in the past suggested the formation of a pan-Islamic army to launch an attack on the Jewish state, leaving no doubt as to whom he thought best qualified to lead such an army. As a Sharia-adherent Muslim, he has used his office to undo the secularism […]
Hamas appeals to West by rebranding as ‘freedom fighters,’ shifting blame, and using language of international law
Now that Israel has militarily reduced Hamas, the jihad group has reverted to making a show of being peaceful, in line with the practice of its stealth operatives who are living inside Western borders. Hamas is now reaching out to the international community as it brazenly presents its “resistance” as justified, in full taqiyya style. […]
Muslim Brotherhood ‘Repository of Foundational Documents’ Includes Hamas
Central to the Muslim Brotherhood is its mission to spread the Sharia globally, using violence and other means. Western countries have become accustomed to the presence of Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups which have managed to embed themselves into mainstream society by branding themselves as Muslim rights organizations. In America, many such groups were designated unindicted co-conspirators […]
