What we see in the media has a strong effect on our beliefs. That’s one of the reasons Hamas Fake News has been so successful. They get their version out first, regardless of how truthful it may be. The media parrots it because, among other reasons, it helps them get more viewers (and advertisers). Keep … More Gaza War 21 Jun
The UN added the IDF, Hamas and Hezbollah to a blacklist of countries that harm children. The blanket condemnation of all three is a very biased action. I doubt that anyone would object to characterizing the Islamic terror organizations in that way, but including Israel goes completely against the evidence that the IDF goes well … More Gaza War 14 Jun
Our war is being fought under a microscope. Every operation conducted by the IDF is critiqued by the US government (and American news media). They don’t apply the same standards to anyone else. In fact, a lot of activities by our opponents don’t get any coverage at all. Hezbollah was shooting about 10 rockets a … More Gaza War 7 Jun
June 6th is remembered in most of the world as the date the allies landed in Normandy. This year is the 80th anniversary of that event. American President Biden flew to France to participate in the ceremonies. But it is also the date that Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982. That invasion marked an early attempt … More Gaza War 6 Jun
There are several political leaders who are trying to put an end to the Hamas-Israel War. The problem is, each one has a different solution. Some of the solutions are in direct opposition to others. Let’s look at a few. Hamas leader Yahyah Sinwar wants the war to end with a cease-fire (permanent) and Israeli … More Gaza War 5 Jun
Hamas is winning the media war. Even if they aren’t, they think they are. Even Nasrallah in Lebanon went on record to say that the anti-government demonstrations in Israel are proof that there will soon be a cease-fire without any Israeli objectives having been achieved. To help this perception, the IDF has pulled troops out … More Gaza War 8 Apr
Almost all the reservists called up for the war have now been released. The war is being fought by the regular active duty army. There is still a constant exchange of fire on the northern border, Hezbollah sends rockets (and occasional drones) Israel replies with artillery and air attacks. The commander of the UN forces … More Gaza War 28 Feb
More countries are suspending funding for UNRWA. Estonia, France, and Japan joined the party. Meanwhile, the UN (and UNRWA in particular) went into damage control mode. They claim to be shocked by the revelations and claim that a dozen individuals shouldn’t be enough to blacken the reputation of the thousands working for UNRWA. Well, that … More Gaza War 29 Jan
I’m still hearing about hostage release talks, but the reported red line positions of both Hamas and Israel seem just as far apart as ever. Hamas wants to survive and stay in power and Israel wants them gone. It doesn’t seem to me that there is much room for negotiations. In the north, Hezbollah fired … More Gaza War 25 Jan
There are over 50 warships in the Red Sea – Persian Gulf – Indian Ocean area. The US and UK have attacked Yemeni/Houthi installations involved in interfering with merchant shipping in the area. The response, so far, has been for the Houthis to threaten the Americans, Iran even got into the picture by seizing a … More Gaza War 14 Jan
