Blaming Israel alone for Gaza mental health problems is just another kind of Jew-hatred. Here's why.

The Israeli Gisha NGO concentrates on freedom of movement of people and goods between Israel and the territories, and it issues reports and statistics to that end.It just released a graphics-heavy online report about the impact of Israel's closure of Gaza on the mental health of Gazans:In Their Words: Mental Health Professionals in Gaza on Treating the Effects of Closure“There’s...

The hot girls of Gaza

I've been to my share of trade shows, and it is not surprising that exhibitors will try to find attractive women to front their booths and try to being in more men.Guess what? It happens in Gaza, too.Even with the women covered up, there was no shortage of makeup as the best looking ones were on display at the Gaza National Products exhibition, held on Tuesday in order to...

PA continues its siege of Gaza - more crucial medicines are running out. But human rights NGOs don't care.

We are now more than two months into the "reconciliation" between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, much of which only occurred because the PA imposed a crippling siege on Gaza of electricity, fuel and medicines that was ignored by the world. And yet the siege continues. Israel does not limit medicines or medical equipment into Gaza (with the exception of a tiny number...

Report: Palestinian Authority stops delivering medicines to Gaza. NGOs, media silent.

Palestine Today quotes Dr. Munir Bursh, the pharmacy director at the Ministry of Health in Gaza, saying that the Palestinian Authority has stopped supplying medicines and baby formula to Gaza altogether. "90% of the treatment of cancer patients in the Gaza Strip has stopped due to the lack of the supply of drugs," he said. Bursh added, "This is reprehensible...

Flood libel, part 2

Yesterday, I pointed out a false Ma'an story claiming that Israel deliberately opened up "dams" to flood Gaza with excess rainwater. As I pointed out, there are no dams near Gaza; there are some reservoirs but no evidence that they released any water. This is one of those obvious lies that start getting believed by being repeated year after year, and even AFP ended up reporting...

Hamas health ministry refusing to buy polio, other vaccines; UNRWA downplays the story

UNRWA released a statement to several Arabic newspapers warning of serious health crisis on the horizon in Gaza. There is a severe shortage of vaccines in Gaza, and those for polio, the mumps, rubella and meningitis have been completely depleted, while those for tetanus and whooping cough are dangerously low. UNRWA warned that polio is starting to spread...

More hypocrisy and lies from the BDS crowd. Pretty funny, actually.

Another day, another new initiative to boycott Israel: Activists are gearing up for a day of action on 9 February that will target Israeli agricultural export companies such as Mehadrin and Hadakalim over their role in Israeli settlements and the dispossession of Palestinian farmers. In a statement titled “Farming Injustice” released earlier this month, all major Palestinian agricultural organizations called for “the launching of worldwide campaigns...

#BDSFail as Gaza farmers visit Israel

From YNet: Some 30 Gaza farmers participated in an agricultural expo held in the Eshkol Regional Council last week, despite the hostile relations between Israel and the Strip's government, run by Hamas. "Agriculture knows no borders," said Uri Madar, of the agriculture department in the District Coordination Office (DCO). "There are various parasites that can 'jump the...

Anti-Israel NGOs keep on pumping out lies

A reader asked me to comment on an October report apparently being distributed to EU politicians by some 20 NGOs to pressure them into banning imports of goods from Jews - and only Jews - who work in Judea and Samaria. These slick-looking reports are churned out with regularity by the anti-Israel crowd, complete with lots of footnotes that no one will ever check out for veracity....

Gaza exports clothes to British retailer. Who will boycott them?

From Reuters: Israel allowed on Monday the export of Palestinian-made clothes from the Gaza Strip for the first time in at least five years, a Palestinian official said. Raed Fattouh, who coordinates supplies into Gaza, said a truck carrying 2,000 pieces of mainly woolen garments were exported through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing towards an Israeli seaport en route to Britain. Gaza's Ashour knitwear company, which was rebuilt with...

Hamas still holding Gaza hostage by refusing fuel shipments

From Ma'an: The Gaza Strip has not received enough fuel to resume normal electricity levels, a Gaza energy official told Ma'an on Saturday. The deal as described by al-Nunu includes longer-term measures to increase the capacity of the power plant and link Gaza's electricity grid to Egyptian infrastructure. The shorter-term requirement is the delivery of fuel into Gaza, but a disagreement on the route of the fuel still appeared to be pending agreement....
