IN THE first part of this essay yesterday I explained how Biden’s unhinged foreign policy precipitated the destruction of Ukraine. Yet while the horrors of Bakhmut and the Donbas were unfolding, another of Biden’s utopian delusions was germinating in the Middle East. His government inherited the region from Trump in a subdued state: ISIS had been shattered […]
Image Credit: Senate Democrats / CC The Center Square [By Casey Harper] – A $118 billion deal that combined a batch of foreign funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan with a slew of controversial border provisions failed in the U.S. Senate Wednesday. The text of that bill was unveiled Sunday, but support imploded almost immediately. […]
Hamas appears to be attempting to signal that Israel has failed to eliminate them from Gaza’s largest former population centers. Despite ongoing military operations in the southern portion of the Strip, uniformed and civilian “police” units and other civil servants have shown up in what’s left of Gaza City in recent days. A Hamas spokesperson […]
The IDF plan to flood the Hamas tunnels under Gaza has been on and then off and now on again. The first reports that this was happening came out last December. At the time there were some videos and indications that this had begun but some outlets reported they were tests. After that I didn’t […]
The Feds United for Peace protesters have popped up again. They are participating in a hunger strike to protest the Biden administration’s support of Israel in the Israel-Hamas war. It is only a one-day hunger strike so my question is, how serious are these people? C’mon. One day? People fast for a day all the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Before Israel even entered Gaza there were estimates that there might be 250 to 300 miles of tunnels beneath the strip of land that is only 25 miles long. That seemed pretty extraordinary but it turns out it may have been an underestimate. The NY Times published an update today on Israel’s efforts to find and destroy the […]
In theory, this sounds like a win for Israel in its war. In practice, though, it may just be another opportunity for Hamas to escape the IDF. According to reports this morning, Qatar has proposed what amounts to a capitulation from Hamas. The real question is: do the Israelis think Hamas would ever capitulate? The […]
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on the road again. He landed in Turkey yesterday for the start of his fourth trip to the region since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks. He met with Turkish tyrant Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Foreign Minister, attempting to negotiate for Turkish participation in the reconstruction of Gaza […]
