In the Palestinian “refugee” camps of Lebanon, the inhabitants are ill-treated by the Lebanese government. They are kept confined to the camps, unable to obtain Lebanese citizenship, and banned from working at most professions. But inside the camps, they are given free rein to do what they do best: that is, they’ve just now been […]
PLO summer camps for kids underway, praising and glorifying jihadists while demonizing Israelis
It is nothing short of disturbing that the world at large is willing to either deny or turn a blind eye to the annual indoctrination at summer camp of Palestinian children to murder Israelis. The Palestinian leadership is not only waging perpetual jihad against the Jewish state, but it is systemically abusing its own children […]
Former US prof linked to jihad groups: ‘Palestinian cause not about creating a state,’ but about destroying Israel
Al-Arian is a former darling of the U.S. media, until his ties to jihad terror groups got him deported and all the fawning coverage he had received from establishment “journalists” took on a sinister light. Now he is speaking honestly, however, about the “Palestinian” jihad, which is not now and never has been about creating […]
American Officials Admit Giving ‘Mistaken’ Advice to Israel
For a long time American officials have advised — and often pressured — Israel to make concessions of various kinds to the Arabs. And, upon reflection, some have regretted their advice, or their wrongheaded comments about Israel’s ongoing campaign of self-defense against terror groups, but that hasn’t stopped the flow of advice and comments from […]
A Shortage of Medical Supplies for Palestinians? Blame Israel!
An article that ran in early June in the far-left, capitulationist Israeli newspaper Haaretz provides an enduring example of how the media demonizes the Jewish state. It describes the calvary of Palestinians who cannot get the medicines they need from their own pharmacies and clinics. The newspaper puts the blame squarely on Israel, suggesting that […]

His talks to the latter audiences have been surprisingly frank about the motivation for terrorists in Judea and Samaria. More on his revelations can be found here: […]
Itamar Ben Gvir Visits Temple Mount, and Washington Gets its Knickers in a Twist
Tisha b’Av is an annual fast day, the “saddest day in the Jewish calendar,” on which five calamities in Jewish history are observed. The two most important that Jews mourn on this day are the destruction of the First and Second Temples. The First, or Solomon’s, Temple, was destroyed by the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 […]
Israel: IDF foils ramming attack in Judea and Samaria
Enraged by Jews visiting Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on the Jewish fasting holiday of Tisha B’Av on Thursday, the Islamic and Palestinian terrorist groups are stepping up attacks against Israel. On Friday, a Palestinian ploughed his car though two military checkpoints in Israel’s Judea and Samaria region, aiming at hitting soldiers. The attacker failed in his […]
European Parliament Takes Strong Stand On Palestinian Schoolbooks, Then Capitulates
“And what they undid, did” (Antony and Cleopatra, Act II, Scene II) Just two months ago, I posted a hopeful piece here about the decision of the European Parliament to call on the European Commission to end all aid to the PA, because it has failed so singularly to fulfill its repeated promises to remove […]
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 […]
