AP recognizes Palestinian truce violation

No [blank] Tony
From Ethan Bronner’s Israel in the Season of Dread: Mr. Sara’s use of the word “calm” (“regiah” in Hebrew) was telling. No one quite knows what to call the current accord. Many use the Arabic word “tahadiya,” which is what … Continue reading
Palestinians break cease-fire, nothing happens
Gee, that’s a surprise. (Note: Edited Tuesday morning; Ynet corrected the date the mortar was fired.) A mortar fired by Palestinian gunmen in Gaza early Monday morning landed in Israel’s western Negev region. The shell landed in an open area … Continue reading
The news AP doesn’t tell you
China’s Xinhua news agency is pretty anti-Israel, but it gives you the news that the AP won’t. For instance, a few days ago it carried a statement by Hamas that they would never, ever recognize Israel—statements that the AP seems … Continue reading

Hezbollah in the west

The uncontrollable terrorist lie
Time and again, year after year, terrorist leaders, political leaders, and hand-wringers around the world would insist that there was no way to rein in terrorist groups. They’re uncontrollable. Hamas can only control Hamas terrorists. Yasser Arafat could only control … Continue reading
Hamas handed victory
Griffe Witte reports in the Washington Post, As Israeli Siege Strangles Gaza Strip, Hamas, Smugglers Profit Off Tunnels.Despite the title, and some silliness in the beginning the article is, overall, rather informative. For all the talk of the “strangling” of … Continue reading

Another surrender by Israel
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is crowing victory over Israel. And why not? Israel is retreating in the face of PIJ rockets. “The decision to evacuate recruits from the Zikim base is yet another victory for the Palestinian resistance. Yesterday Erez, tomorrow … Continue reading
Keep on firing
Meryl charged that last week’s “work accident” would quickly fade down the memory hole and showed it happening. Update: And now (2:23 p.m. timestamp), all mention of the explosion is gone from AP updates. Move along, nothing to see here. … Continue reading
