It has now come to light that not only did Palestinian Islamic Jihad kill more civilians in Gaza with rockets that misfired than did the IDF, but that it managed to kill several Hamas terrorists as well. A report on the Great Misfiring is here: “Islamic Jihad accidentally killed a Hamas terrorist with a misfired […]
Hamas orders foreign journalists to lie about ‘Palestinian’ rockets falling short and killing ‘Palestinians’
Oddly enough, the Foreign Press Association protested, and the rule was scrapped. Most “journalists,” however, would have obeyed with alacrity. “Hamas issues, rescinds sweeping regulations on journalists in Gaza,” JNS, August 10, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): (August 10, 2022 / JNS) Hamas issued and then withdrew sweeping restrictions on foreign journalists working in the Gaza […]
Hamas Counts Its Gains After Operation Breaking Dawn

The Palestinian Condition: Luxury For the Rulers, Misery For the Ruled
That most reliable and intrepid truth-teller about the Palestinian condition, the journalist Khaled Abu Toameh (who is based in Jerusalem), has just written a report on the misery in which most Palestinians live, while their leaders, both in Hamas and the PA, live in luxury.

IDF Strikes Back at Palestinian Islamic Jihad
In the first week in August, roads in southern Israel were closed, summer vacation activities for children were held close to bomb shelters, communities adjacent to the Gaza fence were under lockdown, and the train from Ashkelon to Netivot was suspended, following the arrest overnight on August 3, in Jenin, of the senior Palestinian Islamic […]
Israel Displays Evidence of Hamas’ Use of Civilian Sites
During the conflict between Israel and Hamas in May 2021, the Israelis often found themselves needing to hit Hamas hideouts – for both weapons and fighters – that had been situated near schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, and mosques. The IDF did what it could to minimize civilian casualties, by warning Gazans of impending attacks on […]
Israel Defense Forces expose new Hamas tunnels and weapons manufacturing sites in Gaza civilian areas
The use of human shields in Gaza is a longstanding practice. Martyrdom is a supreme calling in Islam. The Palestinians also indoctrinate children to shed their last drop of blood in the way of jihad, and send them to jihad summer camp for kids. Using Palestinian civilians as human shields is deemed an honorable mission. […]
Palestinian lawyers protest against Abbas’ governing ‘by decree’
In a groundbreaking event in the West Bank, hundreds of Palestinian lawyers took to the streets to protest against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ ongoing “rule by decree” in the absence of parliament.

Hamas kids’ show in Gaza uses puppet to teach ‘jihad is the pinnacle of Islam’
Jihad in the name of Allah is the highest calling in normative Islam. The abuse of young children by this indoctrination — using a harmless-looking puppet, no less — is in service of recruiting them to fight in that jihad. Groups such as Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot) in Gaza represent the militant wing of […]
Rashida Tlaib campaign events in 2018 were organized by alleged jihad terror financiers
