Hostages and a Complete Victory
Last weekend three more hostages were released by Hamas in Gaza, but the happiness and excitement rapidly turned into anger.

A Game of Numbers (of Palestinian Casualties)
A little over a week ago, a report published by the British-based think tank, the Henry Jackson Society, claimed that, after rigorous analysis of the data available, the terrorist organization Hamas is exaggerating the number of casualties from the on-going war between Israel and Hamas. The report did not make many waves, mostly because nobody […]
Being Anti-Israel does not make you and Anti-Semite
Last Thursday, the International Criminal Court in The Hague, issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and its former Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant.

Are we supposed to be happy with this remark? Are the residents of the kibbutzim and villages in the north, now going home? It is unbelievable, that, after almost of […]
State-Supported Terror is still Terror
In the shadows of the war in the Gaza strip and the threat from Lebanon, the violence of Jewish terrorists against the Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank is reaching dangerous proportions. The attack on the Village Jit, last Thursday, however, reached proportions that exceeded all other terrorist attacks. More than one hundred Jewish […]
Starving Two Million Gazans is the Moral Thing to do
This astonishing remark was made by Israel’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich during a right-wing conference at the beginning of this week.

The Deif Assassination and Jewish Supremacy
Over the last weekend, the Israeli army, in a major operation, attempted to assassinate Mohammed Deif, a leader of Hamas in Gaza and believed by Israel to be the brain behind the October 7th attacks. Now, several days later, it is still unclear if Deif indeed was killed. Hamas claims he is fine and Israel […]
Is Israel in Existential Danger?
After more than eight months of war in Gaza, even with Prime Minister Netanyahu still talking about a “Total Victory”, it is clear that Israel will not be able to destroy Hamas, and even the Chief of Staff has stated that “Hamas is an idea and ideas you cannot destroy”. The continuing fighting in all […]
