AP notices Gaza’s Christians are in danger, does not blame Israel
It’s a watershed moment. Not a single word in the article points to blaming anyone but Muslims. The ransacking of a Catholic convent and an adjacent Rosary Sisters school during Hamas’ sweep to power broke more than wood and plaster. … Continue reading

Second verse, same as the first
I should just rerun my previous posts. Abbas is making many demands of Israel, and once again is not promising anything of substance in return. Is he going to stop Al Aqsa from trying to murder Israelis at every opportunity … Continue reading

Reading list
Read this one in full: Noam Shalit is interviewed by Hamas, and shoves their propaganda right down their throats. In response to the host’s claim that the demand made by the groups holding Gilad that Israel release long-time male prisoners, … Continue reading
Another day, another rocket attack on Israel
Three crude, homemade kassam rockets landed in the backyard of a Sderot home, spreading metal shards and shrapnel all around, and injuring three of the residents of that home. But Israel should not launch “retaliatory” attacks because they would be … Continue reading

Hamas tactics: Fear, murder, and intimidation
This is the group that Jimmy Carter thinks we should negotiate with. Their tactics were apparently learned in the Saddam Hussein School of Government: The near-perfect public order that reigned in Gaza this week can be attributed, at least in … Continue reading

Abbas brands Hamas “terrorists,” terrorists vow revenge
So, when one terrorist group calls another terrorist group terrorists, does it truly mean anything? I mean, come on—Fatah’s got its own branch of plausible-deniability terrorists (yeah, that would be Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade). Anyway, it is rather fun to see … Continue reading

Compare and contrast
Let’s do yet another compare and contrast. Compare Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians taking refuge in the Erez Crossing: Hamas came by to deliver bullets and hand grenades, killing one and wounding many. Israel sent ambulances and health-care professionals. The … Continue reading

Thugs stick together like guns and bullets

Hamas imprisoning Gazans; Israel blamed
Buried deeply within this AP story about Gazans trying to flee to Israel at the Erez crossing is this information: In related news, Hamas have deployed gunmen along the 8-mile border road separating Egypt from Gaza, and at the Rafah … Continue reading

Hamas hits Fatah in the Erez Crossing
This looks like a hit to me: Palestinian gunmen turned their weapons away from each other and towards Israel Monday evening, hurling grenades and opening fire towards IDF soldiers manning the Erez Crossing. The troops responded with fire. At least … Continue reading

Did Fatah take a dive?
Ted Belman thinks so. He says the US and Israel urged Abbas to let Hamas have Gaza so it can sink under its own weight. I’m not buying it. An Islamic theocracy funded and backed by Iran and Syria, on … Continue reading

Hamastan roundup
You have to appreciate the irony of this, especially since I’ve been saying all along about them much of what the Pals are now saying about each other: Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday rejected a request by the … Continue reading

Arafat’s villa looted
So much for the “sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.” Abu Ammar has been relegated to the status he so richly deserves: A dead man that his people no longer respect or care about. A crowd on Saturday looted … Continue reading
