Al-Naboulsi has a unique approach to resolving a serious problem plaguing Lebanon since 2022 — war against Israel. * * * * * Some are saying that Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th because they saw us as weakened by the anti-government demonstrations that blocked major traffic arteries, the calls for Israeli tech companies to…
The origin of Jew-hatred is a main character in Daniel Silva’s novel, The Order. As I read the book, I imagined that most Christians (believers, that is, not those who are just nominally born into Christian families) would hate it. This guess was substantiated by reviews I read before writing this one. They hate it,…
It has taken me four days to write up what it was like to have a terrorist attack at a street corner a mere 100 meters down the road from my apartment. One might think that as a freelance journalist, I would have jumped at the chance to report on something that was just outside…
Don’t waste any more time on a misguided campaign. Learning of the demonstration at the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza caused a light bulb to suddenly go off in my head. Finally, a demonstration was happening in the right place! Not in Tel Aviv in front of the IDF headquarters HaKirya, not in…
Let us meet one member of the Lebanese Parliament and hear what he has to say about what is going on now — well, part of what he has to say. This is Elias Hankach (pronounced Hankash). He was first elected to Parliament in 2018 and then in 2022, he gained a seat as a…
Meir Baruchin was fired from his teaching job in Rishon LeZion, and then fired again from his job at a school in Petach Tikva. The court said he could go back to the classroom. That announcement quite demoralized me. How students greeted him upon his arrival the first day he was back lifted my spirits:…
Some people seem to think that journalists are targeted by the IDF. Here are two stories about that. And some explanation about the situations in which they took place — a death, in one instance, and an injury, in the other. The sad story – journalist killed in her home Way back on October 10,…
But once they crossed the fence….? In a previous article (here), I critiqued a piece on the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) website in which they began by rejecting the claims of the first Honest Reporting exposé regarding possible prior knowledge on the part of Gazan journalists of the impending violation of the 2014 ceasefire between…
Maybe someone else has already thought of this and maybe I’m the first one. In any case, do you think this would work? THE AIM: How to prevent Hamas terrorists from stealing humanitarian aid and doing Israel a favour at the same time. THE PROBLEM: Hamas continues to hijack aid trucks, the UN continues to…
Perhaps readers can be excused for thinking Israel deliberately murders journalists covering the war in Gaza if all they read is the long winded title in a Reporters Without Borders (RSF) article. After all, these days, with so much to read online, who has the time to actually read complete articles? Journalists, however, would be…
