The two Palestinian polities in Gaza and in the West Bank, are both in an advanced state of deliquescence. Their disastrous condition is discussed here: “Palestinian Society Sinks into Shambles,” by James Sinkinson, JNS.org, August 10, 2023: Palestinian society is in disarray.

Egypt: Palestinian Islamic Jihad boycotts jihad groups’ reconciliation talks
There are divisions in the ranks of the Palestinian jihadi groups that aim to obliterate Israel “from the River to the Sea.” This spells good news for Israel. As Palestinians, and more broadly, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, seek to unite the ummah behind their cause and lead it to stand up for the Palestinian […]
Judea and Samaria: Muslims attack Jewish worshippers at Joseph’s Tomb
It is quite clear which side is the aggressor and which side is the aggrieved party in this dispute. The refusal of the global political and media elites to acknowledge this manifestly obvious fact, and their determination to behave as if the opposite were true, reveals their sinister agenda. “Palestinian Islamic Jihad members attack worshippers […]

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am At Camp Granada
Granada, after all, was the last Islamic emirate in Spain to fall to the Christians in 1492, so it would make sense to use it as the name of an Arab military camp, where training is given to Muslims bent on reconquering the Iberian peninsula. The camp of which we speak, however, is not for […]
Palestinian Islamic Jihad top dog: ‘We will drive the Jews out of Palestine, inshallah’
The principle is neatly encapsulated in a single Qur’an verse: “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter” (2:191). The Qur’an thus gives Muslims a command from Allah to drive out non-Muslims from where Islam once ruled; hence both Spain […]
