Well, someone’s lying. Late yesterday, news outlets around the world reported that Hamas had agreed to a “modified” version of the US proposal for a temporary pause in fighting to exchange hostages for prisoners and allow aid into Gaza. As I warned at the time, “modified” could mean a lot of things, even if the source […]
So much for that strange demand that Israel observe Ramadan during its war against Hamas and other Islamist terror networks. Hezbollah has ‘celebrated’ Ramadan by increasing the pace of its attacks in the north of Israel, ramping up the intensity of both sides. Overnight, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at Israel, prompting another round of […]
Since Israel entered Gaza in response to the 10/7 attack by Hamas, the Gaza Ministry of Health has been putting out casualty numbers. It was big news when those figures passed 30,000 at the end of February. The death toll in Gaza passed a somber milestone on Thursday as the local health ministry reported that […]
This is a potentially important update for all of the people who are out there screaming in the streets and demanding a “ceasefire now!” According to Egypt, which has been involved in the ongoing negotiations, Hamas has already been offered a ceasefire. Several of them, actually. They have consistently turned them down and will do […]
Adam Schiff had a good day yesterday. He won the California Senate primary and the special primary that will determine who gets the last two months of Dianne Feinstein’s term. Also, by spending his campaign funds running against Steve Garvey he managed to push progressive favorite Katie Porter into 3rd place. That means he won’t […]
How about go pound sand? Joe Biden, along with other Western allies of Israel, desperately need a pause in the fighting for their own domestic-politics concerns. And so does Israel, which is why they continue to engage negotiations for a hostage deal. But somehow the dynamics of a war started by Hamas and the Gazans […]
Despite Israel being fully entitled to defend itself and pursue its effort to wipe out Hamas, there is no arguing that the situation in the Gaza Strip has reached the point of being a humanitarian crisis for the civilians living there. It’s true that the vast majority of them almost certainly supported Hamas and hate […]
Joe Biden has spent the past week talking publicly about his attempts to force Israel into a cease-fire with Hamas. He even made that part of his appearance this week on late-night television, and blamed Benjamin Netanyahu for its delay, and warned that Israel risked losing “international support” if it didn’t do more to end […]
Did early Christian martyrs choose to be burned alive during the Roman persecutions? Earlier today, David wrote about Leftists celebrating the bizarre suicide of Aaron Bushnell, done in nominal protest of US policy in the war between Hamas and Israel. Now we have Time Magazine attempting to normalize it by proclaiming its equivalency to the […]
One of the bigger questions we’ve been grappling with ever since the beginning of the Israeli counterassault in Gaza has been what the Strip would look like after Hamas is (hopefully) fully rooted out and destroyed. It’s a prickly question with no easy, obvious answers. Much of Gaza has been reduced to rubble and Hamas […]
