In February, IDF special forces managed to raid a site in Gaza and free two hostages being held by Hamas — Luis Har and Fernando Marman. When NPR’s Daniel Estrin interviewed Har, a 71-year-old accountant, instead of sympathetically sharing in Har’s relief, he seemed peeved that Har did not criticize the IDF’s use of airstrikes […]
Biden Regime Pushing ‘Peacekeeping Force’ to Protect Terrorists in Gaza
It will turn Gaza right back into a terrorist enclave. Israel has had plenty of experience with peacekeeping forces on its borders before.

UN Special Rapporteur Albanese Falsely Accuses Israel of ‘Genocide’

Spielberg Equates Israel and Hamas
“Decry the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza.” Contemptible but not surprising.

And it’s not just Israel. When he considered making ‘American Sniper’, he wanted […]
Poll Shows U.S. Muslims Support Hamas
Half of Muslims believe Hamas has “valid” reasons for attacking Israel. After 9/11, elected officials told us that Islam had nothing to do with terrorism. And that accusing Muslims of supporting Islamic terrorism was a dangerous bigotry they dubbed “Islamophobia.” In the decades since, the same speech has been delivered after every Islamic terror attack.

The IDF has been uncovering reams of documents about the inner workings of both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

San Francisco-area Islamic scholar says Oct. 7 massacre ‘another big lie,’ Allah is punishing the Jews
Once again we see a supporter of the “Palestinians” frame the conflict entirely in Islamic terms, while Western policymakers and foreign policy analysts continue to assume that Islam plays no part in the conflict whatsoever. “San Francisco Bay Area Islamic Scholar Dr. Yousef Al-Shehabi: October 7 Attack Was A ‘Big Lie’; Allah Punished The Jews […]
