West Point Professor of Urban Warfare John Spencer, who has been studying closely the war in Gaza, its origins and how it is being conducted, both by Hamas and by Israel, believes that Israel is not engaged in a “counter-terror operation,” but rather, in a war. And, he argues, that designation of the Gaza conflict […]
What Israel Has Done for the U.S. Military
Israel receives $3.8 billion in annual military aid from the US government. Almost all of it is spent on American weapons. This aid is not a one-way street. Israel has done more to improve existing American weaponry, and to share with the American military the IDF’s latest technological innovations, than all of the NATO countries […]
How a Handful of IDF Officers Gave Their Lives to Protect New Recruits
There are many tales of incredible heroism by Israelis, soldiers and civilians, who gave their lives to save their fellows. I think of Aner Shapira, a British-Israeli and an off-duty soldier, who had attended the Nova Music Festival. When the Hamas terrorists arrived in the morning of Oct. 7, 2023, about 30 of the music […]
Israel Missed a Chance to Strike Iran’s Nuclear Program — Will It Have Another?
Yonah Jeremy Bob has managed to provide a comprehensive narrative about Israel’s decision-makers, and what, during the past year, they have decided to do, or refrain from doing, about Iran’s nuclear program, and why. He argues that the program could have been destroyed soon after October 26, 2024, when IDF strikes destroyed Iran’s anti-missile defense […]
Israeli forces strike Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad compound in former Gaza school
The establishment media propaganda will be that Israel struck a school. The Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad activities inside the former school building will be glossed over, buried way down in the story, or not mentioned at all. “IDF, Shin Bet strike Hamas, PIJ terror compound in former Gaza school,” Jerusalem Post, April 23, 2025: […]
It’s Time to Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Program
Iran is rushing pell-mell to enrich enough uranium to weapons-grade levels. According to Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran is just weeks away — the Supreme Leader only has to give the final go-ahead — from being able to manufacture a nuclear weapon. It’s up to Trump, in collaboration […]
Israel Offers to Make Sure Aid Goes to Gazans; Hamas Rejects the Offer
What terrible thing has Israel done now? It has offered to use its military to ensure that aid going into Gaza is not stolen by Hamas, as the terror group has been consistently doing ever since October 2023. The IDF would hold onto the aid until such time as it can be distributed, under IDF […]
IDF Accused of Killing ‘Journalist’ Who Was Also a Hamas Sniper
The mainstream media’s coverage of the war in Gaza is scandalous. The casualty figures put out by ventriloquent Hamas, using the “Gaza Ministry of Health” as its puppet, are uncritically accepted. So are reports claiming, without any evidence, that “70% of those killed in Gaza are women and children.” And so, too, are the claims […]
The IDF Has Hamas Operating In Survival Mode
Less than two weeks ago, the IDF resumed its war in Gaza against Hamas, and already it has dealt devastating blows to the terror group, with Hamas now close to collapse as a military force. Hamas used to fire up to four hundred rockets a day into Israel; from May 10-May 20, 2024, for example, […]
No More Water, The Fire Next Time: The IDF is Determined to Crush Hezbollah
The IDF has put into place a new doctrine in relation to Hezbollah: any attack on Israel that originates from south Lebanon, no matter by what group, and no matter how little damage that attack may cause, will be answered by overwhelming force directed at Hezbollah. More on this change in the IDF’s security doctrine […]
