Personally, I’ve got a raging case of “Don’t let the barn door hit you in the bassoon” on hearing this (Karen caught the beginning of it a couple days ago), but that’s just me versus the Jew-haters. So what’s happening is, there’s this big festival thingie in Austin all the “with-it” types like to go […]
Out: Full withdrawal before any hostage releases. In: Women released … and then a full withdrawal. And also still in: a 1:10 ratio of hostages to Palestinian prisoners in Israel, with a nearly 1:1 ratio for those serving life sentences for murder. What a deal. It does, however, mark at least somewhat of a shift in […]
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 […]
The lead singer for heavy metal band Disturbed delivered an anti-Hamas rant during a performance at the end of February. Since then it is as though the flood gates have opened. David Draiman spoke strongly in support of Israel in a video clip that went viral after a young fan gave him a bracelet with […]
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 […]
Millions of Americans, depressed by the ideological divide in America, harbor a wish that something or someone can bridge this divide. This wish is understandable. But it is fantasy. The divide is unbridgeable. One might as well wish that daily consumption of a hot fudge sundae will […]
Speaking as someone who takes in a lot of news media, I’ve found the coverage of the October 7 terror attacks and the resultant ongoing war in Gaza to be a battle of divisive narratives. While many have credibly covered the atrocities committed by Hamas both on October 7 and in the aftermath, notable news […]
Ever since the terror attacks of October 7, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been trying to interject themselves into the debate over what will become of Gaza after Hamas has been destroyed by Israel. It’s a challenging and complicated problem as we’ve discussed here before. Both Biden and Bibi Netanyahu have made reference […]
