One small request for the prisoner transfer
I have one tiny request of just one of the IDF soldiers that will be escorting Samir Kuntar to the prisoner exchange. The deal will take place as follows: Kuntar and the four other prisoners were transferred from jail to … Continue reading
Tony’s tolerance of terror has limits
The other day the Palestinians condemned two men to death for supposedly “collaborating” with Israel to target terrorists. These men weren’t convicted by Hamas, but by the “moderate” Fatah faction that is in charge of Jenin. Reacting to this story, … Continue reading

Gaza more dangerous than Iraq to Tony Blair
Tony Blair called off his trip to Gaza, citing specific security threats. Of course Hamas denies they were threatening Tony Blair, but it’s significant to note that he was visiting Gaza, but refusing to meet with Hamas officials. Hm. Wonder … Continue reading
Daily rocket and mortar attacks, “truce” is still on
So what exactly is Israel getting for the truce? Nothing. Two mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon landed near the border fence, on its Palestinian side, in the Kibbutz Nahal Oz area. There were no reports … Continue reading
Moderate PA wants to honor mass-murderer of Jews
The “moderates” in the Palestinian Authority would like Israel to hand over the corpse of a female Palestinian terrorist who took part in an attack that murdered 36 and wounded 71. Because they want to honor the mass-murderer. The Palestinian … Continue reading
Daily truce violations; daily inaction from Israel
Kassams continue to rain down on Israel daily. Closing the crossings just isn’t enough. What is Barak waiting for? Two Qassam rockets were fired from northern Gaza towards Israel on Thursday afternoon, one of them landed near a kibbutz in … Continue reading
The AP’s moral equivalency problem
See if you can figure out what AP’s moral equivalency problem is. An Israel-Hamas truce has boiled down to a simple tradeoff: For a day of calm, Israel adds five truckloads of cows and 200 tons of cement to its … Continue reading
Still the Samir?
Given the sympathy that the Washington Post once showed for Samir Kuntar in a news story, the editorial An Unwelcome Hero was welcome, if flawed. If anyone ever deserved the title “baby-killer,” it is Samir Kuntar. Yet his freedom has … Continue reading

Israel’s surrender, cont’d.
The terms of the truce are clear. Hamas is to stop all attacks from Gaza. No more mortars, no more kassams, no more attempts to kill Israelis. In return, Israel opens the crossings and sends in more goods. Hamas keeps … Continue reading
Authority without accountibility
After Arafat died, a number of news articles appeared reporting on how pragmatic Hamas politicians were. The gist of the articles was that though Hamas was known as a terrorist organization, there was no denying that the politicians from Hamas … Continue reading
Closing the crossings again
Another mortar, another truce violation, another pretend measure. The crossings are closed, but they’ll reopen, and the mortars will resume. Defense Minister Ehud Barak ruled Monday against the reopening of Israel’s goods crossings with Gaza on Tuesday, in wake of … Continue reading
The AP: Hamas rockets are Israel’s fault
Our old buddy Ali Daragmeh, one of those unbiased AP reporters, had this to say about the reason for the violations of the truce by terrorists from Gaza: Three weeks ago, Israel and Palestinian militants in Hamas-ruled Gaza agreed to … Continue reading
Both sides of the story do not equal truth
One of the things that is extremely puzzling about any AP report on Samir Kuntar is why the AP insists on presenting Kuntar’s side of the story as if the facts were disputed. In every story about the Lebanese prisoner … Continue reading
Reflexively telling
Yesterday, Boker Tov Boulder aptly observed that following a terror attack: … there’s the attack by the media that inevitably follows. Then there’s the aftermath, in which we can see the results of the first two, usually along the lines … Continue reading
