Hamas is guilty of genocide - against Palestinians

Hamas is Perpetrating Genocide Against—Gazans There is no shortage of people claiming that Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza. That the allegation is not merely false but ludicrous has been established by, among others, military expert John Spencer, seven experts on genocide, and friend of the blog Andrew Pessin. An essential component of “genocide” is intent,...

Say Their Names: The Nameless American Hostages of Gaza (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein. Three Americans held hostage in Russia were released a week ago today. While you may not have been familiar with the name Alsu Kurmasheva, a journalist with dual US/Russian citizenship, it is almost certain you knew the names of the other two now-freed hostages:...

Kamala Harris: MIA on All Things Bibi (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein. When Bibi Netanyahu and his wife Sara got off the plane in DC, there were no dignitaries on hand to greet them. No president, and no vice president. The president was ill with COVID and far away, while Vice President Kamala Harris was, well, missing. Period. Bibi...

The Rafah Refugees: Why Won’t Egypt Let Them in? (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein. Photos of Rafah refugees fleeing however they might—by car, on foot, by bundle-laden donkey-driven carts—were everywhere yesterday, the unseasonable rain adding a poignant touch of pathos to their plight. The parents looked grim for the photos, while the...

The @UN @OCHAOPT knows Hamas is lying - but repeats their Gaza statistics anyway

This is from the latest daily UN-OCHA report on Gaza casualties:"GMO" is the Gaza Media Office, meaning Hamas.OCHA claims the 33,797 figure comes from the ministry of health. The MoH does parrot the Hamas figures every day. But it also releases detailed reports every few days of deaths they consider to be verified, which include breakdowns of women, children and elderly, It...

Again, it is all about honor. If you don't get that, you don't get anything about the Middle East.

The Gaza health ministry statistics show that hundreds of "martyrs" came back to life over the past weekend

The Telegram channel of the Gaza health ministry releases a detailed, 40+ page document every few days to describe in detail all of their statistics. As we've been reporting, they have kept three tallies of the deceased: the ones that they count directly who have been brought to hospitals they can verify, the ones that "trusted media sources" (meaning Hamas) tells them...

Last year, Defense for Children International/Palestine reported:The IDF disputed the accusation:The Israel Defense Forces believes at least four Palestinians killed during the latest round of fighting in the Gaza Strip, including children, died as a result of explosions caused by failed rocket launches by Palestinian terror operatives and not due to Israeli strikes.According...

Potential evidence that Hamas doesn't register terrorist casualties

I mentioned that the Gaza health ministry has been keeping track of the people who die in hospitals, or who arrive after they have already died. The demographics of those people are way different from the other set that come from "trusted media sources' - meaning Hamas itself, where nearly all the supposed deceased are said to be women and children, which is impossible.But...

Egypt denies more Gaza medical permits than Israel ever did. NGOs who issued reports condemning Israel are silent.

The hypocrisy of so-called human rights groups is more apparent every day of this war. In 2017, five of those NGOs released yet another statement condemning Israel for denying or delaying medical treatment for many Gazans. The record-low rate of permits issued by Israel for Palestinians seeking vital medical treatment outside Gaza underlines the urgent need for Israel...
