05/31 Links Pt2: Hamas as a Millennial Movement; Make Hosting Terrorists Illegal; Amnesty had a booth at the pro-terrorist Detroit conference

From Ian: Richard Landes: Hamas as a Millennial Movement This is post-colonial rhetoric at its most threadbare. The perspective he formulates in the least attractive way possible, has nothing to do with real racism since all the players involved embody not race but ideological and cultural phenomena. Calling it by the inflated term ‘racist’ impoverishes the historical debate...

From Ian: Caroline Glick: Does Biden reject Israel’s right to self-defense? The most basic function of all governments is to provide for the collective defense of the governed. The most basic foundation of sovereignty is a state’s right to defend its country from aggression. Take away a state’s right to self-defense, and you’ve effectively transformed it into a non-sovereign...

This week, the Gaza health ministry issued its first report since early May. It shows both the number of fatalities that it "verifies" as well as the number with "incomplete data" that is issued by Hamas. Comparing this report with the one from a month ago, it counted 656 deaths in Gaza this month. But the Hamas figures show 1,517 - more than double the number with...

From AP:Israel could have used smaller weapons against Hamas to avoid deaths in Gaza tent fire, experts say...Even the smallest jet-launched munition may be too big when civilians are near because of how they explode and can send fragments far, defense experts said.Based on images and satellite photos of the debris field, two defense experts said the bombs used were likely...

05/30 Links Pt2: Israel’s Great Strategic Failure; UNRWA Head Demonstrates Moral Bankruptcy in Whiny NYTs Op-Ed; Harvard Does the Right Thing for Despicable Reasons

From Ian: Israel’s Great Strategic Failure It has become conventional wisdom after Oct. 7 that Israel for years had the wrong policy toward Gaza. While the unfathomable catastrophe of that day has rightly forced a critical examination of all the factors that led to it, it’s arguable that Israel’s broad pre-Oct. 7 policy toward Gaza, in contrast to its strategic conception...

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory.Check out their Facebook page.I'll Testify At The ICC That Israel Killed Me By Starvation by Muhammad al-Masri, Gaza residentRafah, May 30 - Sometimes life surprises you with opportunities on a scale you never thought possible. I thought my little self could never contribute in any significant...

From Ian: Why we fight It would appear that Hamas’s amen chorus is worried about having to face the truth of their evil deeds and intentions. The recently released horrifying video of the confessions of a Hamas father and son, who on Oct. 7, together with a cousin, gang-raped a woman and murdered her is nearly impossible to watch. So is the video depicting a group of handcuffed...

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei wrote to American student protesters. Here are excerpts:Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it.You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable...

The New York Times has managed something remarkable. It wrote an entire article about Americans trying to leave Gaze without saying a single negative word about Egypt."Americans Raced to Get Their Families Out of Gaza. Then the Border Slammed Shut" says the headline. The border just slammed shut on its own, of course, nothing at all to do with Egypt. And the inability of the...

Earlier this week, I described how NGOs and the New York Times have been twisting the statistics of goods being brought into Gaza by not reporting on two important facts: 1. Aid organizations are refusing to cooperate with COGAT on coordinating deliveries of aid trucks that have already been brought into Gaza2. Trucks bringing in commercial goods are not being counted...
