Despite BBC blood libel, combatants under 18 are legitimate targets in international law

Here is a blood libel from the BBC. In response to Naftali Bennett saying that every single person killed in Jenin was a terrorist, the presenter said, as a fact, "Terrorists but children. The Israeli forces are happy to kill children."Bennett's answer was good, but here is another case where news interviewers are either ignorant or willfully twisting international law.Child...

Yesterday, I reported that the Palestinian Authority arrested Mosab Shtayyeh, a commander in the Hamss Al-Qassam Brigades, in Nablus. Coming after Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party has been taking responsibility for terror attacks itself, including attacks by its own security services, this move was simply an attempt to claim that the PA really opposes terror - so Mahmoud...

Pro-Hamas Arabic media still insisting that captured Israeli Arab is a "soldier"

Much of the anti-Israel Arabic media is happily parroting the claim, since it would look...

Work (tunnel) accident!

Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades announced the death of Thaer Nayef Al-Zuraie, 30, from Deir Al-Balah in the center of the Gaza Strip. He died Sunday "while working in a tunnel for resistance." The usual flowery language asking Allah to recognized him as a "martyr" (so he can rape lots of young virgins in Paradise) follows. He was apparently a father as well. Hamas...

In Hamas, doesn't take much to reach martyrdom

The headline of the Hamas Al Qassam Brigades website laments the death of Nabil Zaig, 41, who was a part of the terror group since its inception in 1987 (which would have made him 17 at the time.) The article calls him a "military martyr." But how did he die? He drowned, after going for a midnight swim. Becoming a martyr ain't what it used to b...

Root causes of media bias against Israel

Tonight, Dr. Richard Landes spoke at Rutgers University. He is the author of The Augean Stables blog, The Second Draft blog documenting media manipulation by Palestinian Arabs and their supporters, and the driving force behind the Understanding the Goldstone Report blog. Somehow, he also manages to be a professor of history at Boston University and the author of numerous books and articles on topics I cannot begin to understand. His topics...
