While all eyes are on the IDF’s planned invasion of Gaza City, with dire warnings coming from so many countries that do not want the embattled Jewish state to defend itself, but instead, to agree to the latest proposal for a ceasefire by Hamas, the IDF has been quietly continuing its campaign of picking off […]
Another ‘Starving Gazan’ Suffering from a Congenital Illness
The nightly news offers up heartrending images of Gazans, mainly children, who are all skin and bones, and are universally described as victims of a “famine” deliberately caused by the heartless Israelis. It turns out that many of these emaciated Gazans were suffering not from starvation, but from congenital illnesses that give them that appearance […]
New York Times Falsely Claims Israel Decreases Aid to Gaza
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis, or CAMERA, has recently called to account the New York Times, which continues to insist — wrongly — that Israel has been steadily “blocking food aid” aid to Gaza. More on CAMERA’s charge leveled against the Times can be found here: “Front-Page NY Times Falsehood Charges […]
The Gazans Soak Up the World’s Attention
The mainstream media give us constantly updated stores about a “famine” that is always about to be “imminent” in Gaza. It publishes heartrending photos of children with suffering what appears to be starvation — skin-and-bone figures whom we are expected to believe are the victims of deliberate starvation by the IDF. That media relies both […]
“The Laws of Armed Conflict now carry a glaring asterisk: ‘Except for Israel'”

Special Rules of War for the Jewish State
Elder of Ziyon takes issue with the claim recently made in the far-left British Guardian, that 83% of those killed in Gaza have been civilians. Apparently the only people in Gaza who can be considered combatants are those to whom the IDF can identify by name; all the others must be assumed to have been […]
Gazans Blame Hamas for Food Shortages
The UN and a host of agencies specializing in famine relief claim that Israel is deliberately starving the civilians in Gaza, while the Israelis blame Hamas, for stealing, hoarding, and reselling so much of the food aid meant to be distributed for free to Gazans. They can’t both be telling the truth. Now the Gazans […]

The Media Lets Hamas Fool It Yet Again About ‘Starving Gazans’
Much of the world’s media has been showing photographs of emaciated children in Gaza, to support the monstrous charge that Israel is “deliberately starving the children of Gaza.” But it turns out that several of those photos were of children whose condition was the result not of starvation at all, but of congenital illnesses, including […]
Palestinian jihadis consider moving hostages to Gaza City to deter IDF offensive
It wasn’t enough for Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad that they massacred Jews on October 7 and tortured hostages, or that Hamas jihadis used their own people as human shields; this is why Gaza is in a humanitarian crisis. Now, they want to use the remaining Jewish hostages as human shields in Gaza. No words […]
