A growing collection as I examine various aspects of the war against Hamas first and Hezbollah a bit later. Hamas essentially declared war against Israel on 7 October 2023 when terrorists infiltrated our communities and — in a rampage of horror — tortured, slaughtered and abducted men, women, and children of all ages. Hezbollah has been showering the northern communities with dailyl rockets and missiles.
Danielle Haas is going to have a conversation with Bret Stephens on April 1 about her new article in Sapir, “The Human Rights Establishment.” I was engrossed in her fascinating description of her experiences with Human Rights Watch (HRW) and other so-called human rights organizations and I hope to get the chance to ask her…
When I read Lauren Wolfe’s latest article, Reconciling Being Jewish with the Siege of Gaza,I was enraged and I knew I was going to critique it. I intend this to be my last post on Lauren Wolfe. Actually, I was surprised to see she did not block me from her site since I already critiqued…
In a move that received little attention, Israel moved children from an orphanage in Gaza to Bethlehem, needing, of course, to drive through Israel and Jerusalem to get them there. In response, an Israeli NGO, Choosing Life, started a petition called: If Germany wants Gaza’s orphans to be looked after, let Germany take them in….
I wish she would stop giving me things to write about. Lauren Wolfe, who, last December wrote the easily debunked article that Israel deliberately targets Gazan journalists (debunked here), just wrote that it is “likely” Israeli soldiers are raping Gazan women: . . . but [she writes] reporters are unable to report from Gaza, so…
A book that was, in a way, almost 50 years in the making takes on new meaning after Oct 7th and demands we re-examine what happened both on Simchat Torah 2023 and Yom Kippur 1973. Bruce Brill wrote “Deceit of an Ally”. What did this young Jewish serviceman, working in the American National Security Agency…
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…
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:…
