Now that the 44-hour triumph of the IDF over Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Jenin camp is over, the Palestinian Authority’s police have begun to take advantage of both of its weakened rivals – the PIJ and Hamas — to assert itself, and even to arrest members of both. More on the PA’s sudden display of […]
Israel: Hamas jihadi who shot Jewish father of two is apprehended inside mosque
Why did he hide in a mosque? Western policymakers and analysts would likely offer pragmatic explanations and completely ignore the larger significance of his chosen hiding place. Islam is the one aspect of the conflict that supporters of the “Palestinian” jihad regularly cite as their primary impetus for the Israeli/ “Palestinian” conflict itself. Yet it […]
The Palestinians Keep Dreaming That They Are Close to Victory
Five Arab armies entered Israel on May 15, 1948, encouraging the local Arabs to temporarily leave the area, so they would be safely out of the way of battles. Then, after what would surely be a quick victory over the Jews by the Arab armies, they would be able to return to their homes, and […]
Fatah tries to help terrorists escape after jihad attack on Israeli family
Following a brazen attack by a Palestinian jihadist who opened fire on a Jewish family in a car in Judea and Samaria, Fatah stepped in with orders “to erase security cameras and fill streets with burning tires and garbage cans to slow down the army” to help the jihadist escape.

Judea and Samaria: Palestinian arrest of journalist sparks outrage over crackdown on dissidents
So far this year alone, over 300 journalists, students and activists have been rounded up in a Palestinian Authority crackdown on dissidents. The crackdowns are increasingly repressive and abusive.

The Battle In Jenin Camp

According to the IDF, since last year, some 50 shooting attacks against Israelis were carried out by residents of the Jenin area, and 19 wanted Palestinians escaped to Jenin to seek refuge […]
US and Israel Pressure Palestinian Authority to Crack Down on Terrorists
The Palestinian Authority has a duty, under the Oslo Accords, to engage in security coordination with Israel, including joint efforts to prevent terrorist attacks on Israelis, and helping Israel to track down terrorists who have already carried out attacks. But the PA has not been fulfilling its solemn commitments, and both Israel and the U.S. […]
Abbas’ adviser: Voting in Israeli elections ‘a betrayal of Allah and his messenger and the sacrifice of the jihadis’
Once again we see a “Palestinian” spokesman speak of the conflict with Israel in Islamic terms, the one aspect of it that foreign policy analysts routinely ignore. “Abbas’ Advisor: Arab participation in Jerusalem municipal elections is ‘betrayal of Allah’ and ‘a crime,’” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, June 30, 2023: The Jerusalem municipal […]
Palestinian Authority May Declare Bankruptcy
The Palestinian Authority is in dire financial straits. The donors on whom it has long relied for aid have recently cut their contributions. This is particularly true of the rich Arab oil states of the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. European countries are now lessening their contributions to the Palestinians because of […]
Bidenites Increase Aid to Relentlessly Antisemitic UNRWA
Didn’t Joe Biden just reveal to the world, to great fanfare, his administration’s “first ever national strategy to combat antisemitism”? And then, just a few weeks later, the State Department announced an increase in aid to UNRWA, one of the foremost spreaders of antisemitism in the world. Vijeta Uniyal wrote about this for Jihad Watch […]
