NYT: Hamas upgrades = success / Israel defends = disaster
The NYT today features two articles about Israel’s war against Hamas that are rather revealing. One is Striking Deep Into Israel, Hamas Employs an Upgraded Rocket Arsenal, and the second is In Dense Gaza, Civilians Suffer They are revealing both … Continue reading
Reporter, heal thyself
McClatchy’s terror apologist Jerusalem Bureau Chief Dion Nissenbaum writes about Israel’s military response to the Hamas threat against its citizens by writing: The Gaza Strip has had its fair share of bad days over the years, from the spark for … Continue reading
Be very, very skeptical
One of the common memes about Israel’s war against Hamas is that Israel is strengthening Hamas by causing Palestinians to rally around the terrorist group. Of course we heard this for years. It was the reason Israel couldn’t fight Fatah … Continue reading
What Israel is doing is nothing to do with peace but its own selfish security concerns
This made me laugh and cry simultaneously. But I didn’t break my PC. It’s too… what? Read more here, and many thanks to Andrew Ian Dodge. Also – read the whole linked article in The London Daily News. (Warning – … Continue reading

Noah Pollak observed about a headline in the Washington Post alleging that Israel had rejected a truce with Hamas: But nothing of the sort happened; no truce has been offered by anyone involved, least of all Hamas, and there is … Continue reading
The media assault against Israel
The American media is doing all it can to undermine Israel’s case for war. I’m not just talking about those anti-Israel bloviators whom Noah Pollak amusingly call the “juicebox mafia,” but the opinion pages of major American newspapers have been … Continue reading

From the comments: The world’s hypocrisy
This deserves to be elevated from the comments so everyone can see it. Thanks, Charles. Just did a quick Google and came up with this recent article (from a Russian paper): Over 670 Kurdish rebels killed in Turkey this year … Continue reading
Terrorist, policeman, …
Aside from the NYT shamelessly rewriting this story, this paragraph really bothers me. Israeli officials said that anyone linked to the Hamas security structure or government was fair game because Hamas was a terrorist group that sought Israel’s destruction. But … Continue reading
Covering for Iran
There is no kind way to describe today’s Washington Post editorial Israel Strikes with a subtitle: Hamas suffers a serious blow — but the real winner may be Iran. ISRAEL’S AIR offensive against the Gaza Strip yesterday should not have … Continue reading
The mainstream media: Hamas press flacks
You won’t find this quote by Ehud Olmert outside the Israeli media, at least, not at the time of this post. I can’t find it. “Israel has done all it could to preserve the ceasefire with Hamas, but our desire … Continue reading

Hamas rockets kill their own; Israeli hospitals treat wounded Gazans
Hamas rockets killed two children in Gaza, and strangely, the media hasn’t picked up that fact and sent thousands of headlines blaring across the world. A rocket apparently fired by Palestinians on Friday struck a house in the Gaza Strip, … Continue reading

“Alleged”
I’ve already complained about David Ignatius’s glowing puff piece about the chinless ophthalmologist of Damascus, but there was one point I missed: A relaxed Assad clearly believes that Syria is emerging from its pariah status. An international tribunal is still … Continue reading
