I was unable to get this off yesterday, but, as I promised, here are a few items connected with UNRWA and involvement in education. 24 teaching staff at UNRWA schools, most of them in senior leadership positions, were confirmed to be registered members of terror groups with roughly half of them having documented possession of … More Gaza 18 Aug
When discussing the Arab-Israel conflict my late wife and I always disagreed. She was a pessimist. She thought we would be at war with the Arabs for the next hundred years. I, on the other hand, was an optimist. I thought we would be at war with the Arabs for the next hundred years. This … More Gaza 15 Aug
Today I’m just going to point out a couple of major media omissions. Next week I plan to address some concrete recommendations for moving toward a peaceful? resolution of the local conflict. Israel has long pointed out that masses of humanitarian aid were accumulating after crossing the northern Gaza checkpoint. UN agencies kept complaining (falsely) … More Gaza 14 Aug 2025
Back to Basics , “A warring state is not required to supply aid to enemy territory under international law. It must only permit humanitarian aid from third parties to the civilian population, provided it does not reach the enemy, is effectively monitored, and does not enhance military or economic capabilities (Article 23 of the Fourth … More Gaza War reporting – Aug 2025
So another country recognizes Palestine as a state? So what? Does that change anything on the ground? I don’t think so. Aside from the propaganda and morale boost it gives Hamas such a declaration hasn’t got any real effect. Even giving them a seat at the UN wouldn’t mean much. Why? Because it doesn’t deal … More Gaza War 13 Aug
It seems time to remind everyone of some important facts regarding the publicity stunt that the antisemitic Palestinians are promoting. This time it is a self proclaimed aid ship bringing symbolic aid to Gaza. This isn’t a new idea. It was tried a few years ago with the Turkish Mavi Marmara. International law has not … More A Reminder
The mainstream media is still spoon feeding you a bunch of half-truths. The Israeli aid distribution plan (supported by the US) suffered a severe setback on the first day of operation. Gazans overran one of two distribution points and looted the site. They even took the tables and chairs. IDF forces did fire in the … More Mainstream media bias
Mainstream media in the US ought to be seriously embarrassed. Those horrible videos of the purported killing of an entire family of nine in Gaza have been exposed as a re-run of another incident (also staged?) from a month or so ago. This is typical of much of the media. They put out items from … More Gaza Fakes from Hamas
Yesterday was about lies and poor reporting. Today I want to mention errors of omission, some probably intentional. When Egypt allowed some 30 Gazans to enter Egypt for medical treatment, it was mentioned in some places. When Israel allowed 70 Palestinians to enter Israel in order to travel on for similar treatment, nobody mentioned it. … More Gaza War 2 Mar 21
I was awakened at 0400 by a warning siren. The Houthis had launched another ballistic missile at Israel. It was intercepted, but it brought home to me the need to write some more about what is really happening here. The mainstream media, despite all their hype and self-proclaimed coverage, are really doing a very poor … More Gaza War 2 – 29 Mar
