The Biden administration is continuing to build a disappointing track record of weak responses to foreign affairs crises and deceptive promotion of its own efforts at home. The latest example comes on the heels of the explosive revelations that at least a dozen members of the United Nations’ Palestinian relief agency, the UNRWA, took part […]
Perhaps Hamas has not received the memo. Using hospitals as cover and human-shield strategies while plotting terrorist attacks no longer works, at least according to the IDF and Shin Bet. Acting on intelligence that Hamas’ leadership abroad had coordinated weapons distribution from a cell embedded in a Jenin hospital, the IDF conducted a raid and […]
On Friday, David covered the sickening but perhaps not all that surprising news that members of the United Nations agency responsible for aiding Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) had participated in the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7. In a pleasantly surprising move, the Biden administration suspended funding to the UNRWA after this news emerged […]
Ed covered the ruling by the United Nations International Court of Justice regarding a potential “genocide” in Gaza yesterday, but the ICJ’s strange conclusion has a few more odd elements to it that are worth examining. The court was handling a case brought by South Africa, a nation that somehow supports Hamas, which accuses Israel […]
In the war launched by Hamas and Gazans against Israel on October 7, only one side has publicly and repeatedly promised genocidal extinction to the other. The International Court of Justice has, predictably, decided that the target of that genocidal ambition has to answer for its self-defense. Weirdly, though, the ICJ decided to creep up […]
One project that’s been undertaken by the IDF in Gaza hasn’t received as much media attention as the larger military conflict, at least until now. Starting back in November, construction crews began clearing a one-kilometer-wide band of land along the border of the Gaza Strip. Bulldozers and backhoes cleared buildings, roadways, and agricultural areas. Hamas […]
This may be a first signal that the Gazans have had enough of Hamas — and that Hamas can’t hide it with threats any longer. A crowd of mostly Palestinian women and children protested outside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, in a town roughly halfway between Gaza City and the embattled Khan Younis. […]
The most likely answer to the title question is, “Probably not.” But Bibi Netanyahu has been under a great deal of domestic pressure to get the rest of the hostages home and a new offer for Hamas has been put on the table. A two-month ceasefire and the release of an unspecified number of additional […]
Consider this the one point of agreement between Israel and the terror network that has conducted war against it for nearly 20 years. Although perhaps there could be another point of agreement now as well — that October 7 changed everything. For Israel, it finally woke them from their fantasy that Hamas would turn into a […]
Yesterday, Joe Biden had a phone call with Bibi Netanyahu. In more normal times, such a call between the leaders of closely allied nations would be nothing unusual, particularly when one of them is in the midst of a brutal war against a terrorist regime. But believe it or not, despite all of the visits […]
