Still on the lookout for innocent Gazans — those who did not take part in the atrocities, those who did not take advantage of the openings in the fences to loot Jewish homes, those who did not cheer at the news of Jews being tortured, slaughtered, raped, abducted, those who did not hide hostages for…
‘Al-Aqsa Flood,’ the name Hamas gave to their October 7th attack on Israel, has become a metaphor, firstly for the flooding of the Hamas tunnels in Gaza that Israel is reputedly considering. Secondly, for the changing tides in Hamas’s control of the Gazan population. The hatred Hamas directs against Israel and Jews — and against…
Gazan journalist Ayman Alaloul hates Yahya Sinwar. He blames him for the destruction of Gaza and the horrific humanitarian catastrophe that befell the Gazan people. That does not necessarily mean that Alaloul favours a negotiated peace with Israel of any form. It does not necessarily mean that he does not consider ALL of Israel to…
I recently discovered Gazan journalist, Ayman Alaloul. He has been living in Belgium for four years. Just like Israelis, it seems that for him, history is now marked by “Before Oct 7th” and “After Oct 7th.” You can tell from his posts on both “X” and Facebook how horrified he is by what is happening…
There was a mini-massacre on Zikim Beach — about 19 killed. Several news outlets have published newly released documentation showing the infiltration of Hamas terrorists onto the beach south of Ashkelon. Imshin was quick in getting up the video that have been shared on news sites plus two other videos of the event. Her source…
While continuing to explore social media responses to this latest war on the part of leftist and pro-peace activist NGOs in Israel, I discovered an initiative out of Gaza. I am always looking for peace initiatives coming from the Palestinian side and not just Palestinian Arabs joining Jewish initiatives. I came across a Facebook page…
Why does an interesting article about contemporary journalism have to start like this? Yesterday, journalist Lauren Wolfe, who writes about writing on her Substack site, published an article entitled: “Why Israel bumped Ukraine off the News.” Here she talks about people’s attention to the news and how the press can/should respond to the changed readership…
There are a few thoughts that arise for me when I see Roni Krivoi and hear a brief account of how he escaped from the clutches of Hamas only to be returned to them four days later. Freed: Roni Krivoi Roni was kidnapped by Hamas from the Supernova music festival. He is the first adult…
Israeli Channel 12 News just published a map of Nir Oz with red dots on every residence. You can click on any red dot to see what happened in that house on Oct 7th. Because all the text is in Hebrew, I have translated a random selection of dots as marked on a screenshot of…
What they did to themselves!! This article has a short version and a longer version. Both are stories of mourning. Gazan stories of mourning. And to both of these I add an addendum of my own. An Israeli story of mourning. Ahmed Alnaouq, 29, left Gaza four years ago and now resides in London after…
