Why is this happening? Ultimately it’s not because of al-Aqsa, or because of any “occupation,” since the “occupation” is a propaganda fiction anyway. It’s happening because of the Islamic imperative to fight Jews: A hadith says: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless […]
Lack of Electricity In Gaza Causes Depression and Anxiety
In Hamas-ruled Gaza, many people feel depression and anxiety. It’s understandable. There are few jobs; unemployment has reached the staggering level of 48%, roughly half the working population. The only bright spot in employment is Israel’s decision to provide nearly 20,000 Gazans with permits to work inside Israel, earning wages three to six times what […]
Why Hamas is Sending Gazans to Die at the Border with Israel
In the past week, Hamas has been sending Palestinians to the Gaza-Israel border, where they attack IDF soldiers, hurling rocks, Molotov cocktails, and firebombs at them, as they try to breach Israel’s security fence. But the Palestinian journalist Khaled Abu Toameh argues that Hamas’ real target is not Israel, but Qatar. More on his analysis […]
Qatar And Gaza At Odds Over Aid
While other rich Arab states, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, have slashed their contributions both to the Palestinian Authority and to UNRWA, Qatar has — until recently — loyally carried on, making payments to Gaza, which means payments to the rulers of Gaza, Hamas. And Hamas is the Gazan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, […]
Sixteen Tons, And What Do You Get?
This July, Israeli customs inspectors discovered, in a large shipment of plaster being sent from Turkey to Gaza, sixteen tons of ammonium chloride, a substance used as an explosive in rockets. Rockets built in Gaza by Hamas, the intended recipient of the ammonium chloride, have only one conceivable target — Israeli civilians in towns abutting […]
‘Palestinians’ incite genocide on social media: ‘The time has come to kill the Jews’
The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They […]
Hamas praises Belgian minister for accusing Israel of ‘wiping Palestinian villages off the map’
For any Westerner, being praised by Hamas is a commentary on the recipient. It is the Palestinians who aim to wipe the State of Israel off the map, and have even shown maps with Israel absent. The choice of words of Belgium’s Minister for International Development, Caroline Gennez, was crude, provocative and ignorant of history, […]
Palestinians Kill Palestinian in Tulkarem, Media Remains Silent
In Tulkarem the other day, an innocent Palestinian was killed, whether by the Palestinian Authority’s security force or by an as-yet unidentified terror group is still not known. It happened this way. In order to make it more difficult and dangerous for the IDF to enter the Tulkarem camp, Palestinian terrorists sowed the roads with […]
Biden Regime Provided Foreign Aid ‘License’ to Aid Hamas
A “high risk Hamas” could benefit. This year I charted the impact that Biden’s foreign aid was having on terrorist attacks on Israelis. When Biden took office, he violated the Taylor Force Act and massively ramped up foreign aid and political support for the terrorists occupying parts of the West Bank and Gaza. And the number of […]
Iran urges more ‘victories’ in calls to Hamas, Hizballah and PIJ leaders to attack Israel
Iran has been escalating its military activities, and now — added to the funding of jihad groups which aim to destroy Israel — Iran is openly praising these groups and commanding them to escalate their attacks on the Jewish state. The jihad war on the existence of Israel started before its founding and continues to this […]
