Let's see how "human rights" groups discuss this morning's deadly PA raid in Tulkarm - if at all

This morning, the Palestinian Authority clashed with terror groups in Tulkarm, leaving one person dead.The specifics are disputed depending on whether one is reading PA-affiliated or terror-affiliated media.According to the PA:The Political Commissioner General and the official spokesperson for the security establishment, Major General Talal Dweikat, said today, Wednesday,...

The "child" killed by the IDF was an expert in building IEDs

Earlier this week I reported on Othman Atef Abu Kharj, a 17 year old who was killed during clashes near Jenin.Most Palestinian media referred to him as a "child" ruthlessly killed by the IDF. Islamic Jihad, on the other hand, celebrated his ascension to Paradise as "a heroic mujahid knight" - but claimed that he was 18.Now, Hamas-linked Felesteen writes a more detailed...

UN reluctantly admits that terror groups put Palestinian children at risk

Every year, Lynn Hastings, the UN Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, issues a press release before the school year discussing how Israel and Jewish settlers have been awful to Palestinian children.This year, as far as I can tell for the first time, the press release also mentions a couple of ways that Palestinian terror groups are...

At Joseph's tomb, mujahadeen proudly trying (and dying) to stop Jews from visiting a holy site

Every month or so, Jewish pilgrims go to visit Joseph's Tomb in Shechem (Nablus). Under the Oslo Accords, Jews should have free access to the holy site. But Palestinians would rather kill them.So the IDF has to go in to protect the worshipers, and the worshipers go in the middle of the might, to cause as little of a disturbance to the nearby residents as possible.Fat...

Horrifying: Palestinian terror groups use children to build and plant their explosives

PCHR reported on July 3 that Israeli forces shot Ali Hani Al-Ghoul in the chest, killing him.

The Palestinian Authority has been trying to walk a tightrope between publicly supporting terror to its people and quietly doing a small part to retake police control over the parts of the West Bank that have become fully subjugated to terror groups.The local terror groups complained loudly after Israel's Jenin operation last week that the PA had reportedly intercepted terrorists...

Islamic Jihad publishes a great advertisement for Israeli armored Caterpillar D9 bulldozers

For the past week, Palestinian media has been filled with articles about how the Jenin Battalion defeated the IDF in Jenin. They don't quite explain how they come to the conclusion that 12 dead terrorists and much destroyed terror infrastructure is a "victory." Today, the Islamic Jihad-linked Palestine Today published a video of their latest "proof" of this illusory victory. The...
