IAF air attacks killed 2 senior Hamas leaders. Ra’ad Saad, the Hamas chief of operations (#4 in the hierarchy of the military wing at the time) was a major loss for Hamas. He had been responsible for trying to rebuild the shattered military organization. The second death was the Hamas in Lebanon senior official Ayman … More Gaza War 23 Jun
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
The world has had 9 months to convince Hamas to obey international law and release all the hostages they are holding captive. So far, it appears they have done nothing. They are willing to give free advice to Israel about what to do to appease Hamas. This advice, like most free advice, is worth what … More Gaza War 10 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
There is a fundamental difference between the American (and international) approach and the Israeli approach to halting the violence. The western democracies and their legal system view a cease-fire as a desirable end to be achieved, in and of itself, to be followed by negotiations to resolve differences diplomatically. Israel believes that Hamas is a … More Gaza War 24 May
Israel is subjected to rocket attacks aimed (imperfectly or sometimes even unintentionally) at civilian targets on a daily basis. Those attacks rarely hurt anyone because the IDF is effective in defending against them. This morning a large missile was launched against Israel from Lebanon. It fell inside Lebanese territory and caused a loud explosion. The … More Gaza War 5 May
Today Israel is being attacked verbally by both her ‘friends’ and her enemies. On the enemy side we hear threats from Iran (coupled with rumors that the Iranian missile forces have been placed on alert and some have been dispersed to launch sites). This has been matched in Israel by calling up reservists from the … More Gaza War 5 Apr
There are a lot of “leaks” regarding the discussions about a new hostage exchange arrangement. A number of the parties involved would be happy to see some kind of agreement reached before the Muslim fast month of Ramadan. This results in a lot of optimistic data getting out to the media, even when there is … More Gaza War 25 Feb
