Benjamin Netanyahu gets a lot of flack these days, from all sides. Hostage families — not all, but enough of them — demonstrate against him every evening, demanding that he stop the war in Gaza RIGHT NOW so that all the hostages, living and dead, can be released. His every move is attributed by his […]

The Arabs in Palestine in 1948: The Cultural Dimension
This morning I ran across a telling report about the cultural life of Palestinian Arabs in 1948, that appeared at Elder of Ziyon’s website in 2019. It does not date. You can find more about it here: “1948 academic paper shows Palestinian Arab culture was essentially non-existent,” Elder of Ziyon, July 8, 2019: Here are […]
What Did Billionaire Bashar Masri Build in Gaza?
Did the “Palestinian” billionaire Bashar Masri provide crucial help to Hamas? He denies it: “October 7 victims sue mogul for using USAID-funded site to aid Hamas tunnels,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, April 7, 2025: Masri “unequivocally opposes violence of any kind,” according to the spokesman, and rejected the idea that he or his companies had […]
Palestinian-American Billionaire Bashar Masri Sued for Building Hamas Tunnels
Here’s a lawsuit to like: over 200 Americans whose relatives — citizens of both Israel and the U.S. — were murdered by Hamas on October 7, 2023, have now filed a lawsuit against the Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri. They claim that he was involved in building an industrial estate in Gaza that, while it had […]
Grand Mufti of Pakistan declares jihad against Israel an ‘obligatory duty’ for all Muslim governments
This recalls the classic Islamic theological distinction that jihad is an obligation on the community as a whole (fard kifaya), and an individual is released from it if others are taking it up, but when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, so-called defensive jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ‘ayn) rather […]
Hamas declares ‘timid statements and condemnations’ are ‘no longer acceptable’ from Islamic countries
Hamas is getting increasingly desperate (as is Iran). Once jihadists stop benefiting from appeasement, the gloves come off, and then Islam is more exposed for what it is. The Palestinian “resistance” was always about Islam finishing its conquest of the Middle East. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) already recognizes and embraces a State of […]
‘Palestinian’ ambassador to Syria: Zionist ideology of ‘genocide’ implemented in Gaza and in US as well
Meanwhile, Hamas is walking back its bogus “genocidal” casualty figures. “Palestinian Ambassador to Syria Samir Al-Rifai: The Zionist Ideology Implemented in Gaza Is Like the American ‘Torah-Based’ ideology of Genocide and Colonialism Used Against Native Americans; They Also Called Native Americans ‘Canaanites’ or ‘Amalekites,’” MEMRI, March 30, 2025: In a March 30, 2025, appearance on […]
Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs: ‘What happened on Oct. 7 is a legitimate thing’
These are the people that the foreign policy establishment wants to take over the administration of Gaza. “Abbas’ advisor: Oct. 7 massacre was ‘legitimate resistance,’” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, March 30, 2025: One of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ top aides, his Advisor on Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash, still celebrates Hamas’ massacre and slaughter […]
Palestinian Authority pays grants to terrorists from its General Intelligence Forces
“Mahmoud Abbas’ highly publicized proclamation that the PA would be ending its terror rewards program known as Pay-for-Slay” was obviously a big lie to begin with — one that was carefully calculated for effect in the ongoing jihad against the Jewish state. Abbas’ promise was for appearances, especially given the fact that the Biden administration […]
