When you’re a victim, you’re a victim all the way, from your first suicide bomb to your last dying day. “No-win: Israeli free training, loans, and grants to Palestinians are an ‘attack’ on young Palestinians, leading to ‘Israelization,’” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, February 21, 2021: This is a textbook […]
If Israel is Intent on Depriving Palestinians of Coronavirus Vaccine, It Has a Strange Way of Showing It
The Palestinians, with their usual vituperation, have now called Israel guilty of “war crimes” because it has not immediately approved the transfer of a shipment of Russian Sputnik vaccines to Gaza that suddenly appeared, a shipment “uncoordinated” with Israel, and without any sign of having obtained the necessary permits, at Israel’s border with the […]
PA TV quiz show: ‘Purify yourself with your blood…make sure your bullets hit the target…Allahu akbar’
Yet again, the glorification of bloody jihad. Palestinian children are also subjected to these “cultural songs” that glorify violence and “martyrdom,” including a call for “bullets of revolution” to murder Israelis, amid shouts to the “seventh heaven” of “Allahu akbar.” This is nothing short of state child abuse. As Palestinians continue to be steeped in […]
What the ICC’s Fatouh Bensouda Should Know About the Efforts Israel Makes to Minimize Civilian Casualties
Yesterday we discussed the first part of the report by Jacob Magid at the Times of Israel about the three-judge panel’s decision giving the full ICC (with 18 judges) the right to exercise jurisdiction over Israel in investigating its putative “war crimes,” despite the fact that Israel is not a member of the ICC.

‘Palestinian’ PM says Biden’s handlers told him they’d restore aid, reopen PLO office in DC, open US consulate
The money will flow again, the jihad will be enabled again, the Israelis will be treated with contempt again. Everything is back on track now after a four-year speed bump. “Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh: Biden Administration Assured Me That It Will Restore Aid, UNRWA, PLO Office In D.C., Open Consulate In East Jerusalem,” MEMRI, February […]
Obama Minimizes Terror Threat Against Israel, Dehumanizes Israelis
Before, during, and after his presidency Barack Obama has been distinctly unfriendly to Israel. He portrays the Jewish state as an unyielding aggressor, the powerful overlord of generally inoffensive Palestinians who are kept down by violence. He piles error upon error, in discussing how Israel somehow “fell into war” with the Palestinians. He scarcely […]
Barack Obama Still Can’t Normalize His Ties to Israel
The first volume of Barack Obama’s presidential memoir is out, and A Promised Land confirms what we all knew: Obama was, and remains, hostile to Israel, for which he displays a palpable want of sympathy. A report by on his attitude toward and treatment of Israel, as revealed in this book, can be found […]
How to End the Palestinian Refugee Crisis
In its beginnings, UNRWA was not quite as corrupt as it soon became. It publicly bewailed the fact that it could not arrive at accurate numbers: the Palestinian refugees were constantly moving, now to this country and now to that, and many non-Palestinian Arabs joined the queue. “The Palestinian refugee hoax,” by Mitchell Bard, Israel […]
