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.
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…
Did they even look at who produced this videoclip? Those who take this at face value? This videoclip gets boring after the first 40 seconds or so, so you can either just skip along to the end to see who made it or read what I write below the post. In memory of the over…
There is a new social media campaign called: “If you don’t have a message of unity, just #shut_up.” IDF reservists put out a statement that I translate for you here. It is followed by a short compilation of a number of reserve soldiers in the field telling the media to stop putting out news items…
I’m still waiting for someone to point me to truly innocent Gazans, those who, while maybe not happy about it, are willing to “let” Israel live alongside it as a sovereign Jewish state. You know, the ones who reject Hamas ideology. I doubt an innocent civilian Gazan is to be found in the crowd cheering…
Wolfe thinks it is brave and taboo-breaking to call Gaza a ghetto and accuses Israel of being perpetrators stuck in our own victimhood. That taboo was broken decades ago and she is either ignorant of, or ignores, the fact that victims have three choices. Oct 7th is a watershed for Israel. Apparently, also for American…
Reuters, certainly not a mouthpiece for Israel, published a condensed summary of Gaza Strip history. Let me just condense that a bit more for your reading ease. For some, the word, genocide, has been associated with Israel for years. Let us look at the Reuters‘ summary of Gazan history and see if there is evidence…
Phyllis Chesler referred to Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen as a “popular…prize-winning public intellectual.” Gessen has about 126K followers on “X” and the post linking to the article under examination here was viewed 775.4K times at this writing. If her* reach was not this broad, I might have ignored this piece. But I cannot just give…
