A professional liar, with no experience, gets promoted by Mahmoud Abbas as new Governor of Nablus

For years, I have been following the career of Ghassan Daghlas, a man who has been paid by the Palestinian Authority to make up lies about alleged crimes of Israelis in Judea and Samaria.Over at least the last dozen years, Daghlas has been quoted hundreds of times in the media as he spun lurid tales of Jews attacking Arabs, virtually always without even a photo to back up...

The new wave of terror may be hurting the Palestinian economy

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics published its labor report for the second quarter, and it shows that the number of Palestinians working in Israel and the settlements increased to 164,000 from 153,000 in the first quarter.However, this is not the highest number for Palestinians working for Israelis. It reversed a year-long trend of fewer Palestinians working for...

Islamic Jihad now claims its members started the Lion's Den (meaning, Iran)

Last year, the IDF killed an 18-year old terrorist, Ibrahim al-Nablusi, who was a leader of the Lion's Den terror cell in Nablus and involved in multiple attacks.He had been a child soldier, joining a terror group at 15.Articles about the Lion's Den have implied that it was a home-grown group that just popped up out of frustration with Israel or the PA. Members claimed not...

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...

Today's Nablus operation adhered to all international standards. Palestinians lie about it anyway.

In my last post, I noted that UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk was upset that the Jenin raid on terror infrastructure earlier this week went beyond "law enforcement," which he (falsely) claimed is all Israel is allowed to do to combat militants under international law.This morning, Israeli police from the Yamam counter-terrorism unit tried law...

An Arab account of June 1967 describes their confidence and crushing humiliation. And bigotry.

Nablus in the 1960sExcerpts from a story in Rai al Youm from a girl who witnessed the Six Day War in Nablus:Sirens are blaring and my father is screaming and ordering us to go to the shelter.The shelter is a garage at the bottom of the house, and we put some necessities in it like first aid and some food and water..President Gamal Abdel Nasser told us that we will be victorious...

German tourists who were almost lynched in Nablus pleaded with attackers, "Don't hurt us! We aren't Jews!"

This interview of one of the German victims of a near-lynching in Nablus when they drove a rideshare car with an Israeli flag has an interesting implication:I did not know if I would go out alive, because they had so much hate against us....Suddenly they came our of taxis and kind of surrounded us, and we tried to explain in English that we are tourists, we are from...

Palestinians love dead Jews. Four examples from the past few days.

News item: The latest PCPSR survey of Palestinians shows that 71% supported the cold-blooded murder of the Yaniv brothers, executed in their car in Huwara with multiple gunshots.Only 21% opposed murdering random Jews.News item: German tourists who used a car share app drove to Nablus to get a coffee, and found themselves under attack because the car had an Israeli...

The Washington Post documented a war crime in Nablus - but it was done by Palestinians, not Israelis

This frame appears to show a muzzle flash, but the WaPo can't see it.The Washington Post has an article that they believe damns IDF troops - and they are so excited about it they took away the paywall so everyone can see their computer-modeled 3D analysis.They did indeed document a war crime, but not the one they are pretending to have uncovered.Israeli security forces in...

It appears that the Palestinian prime minister's family originated in Egypt - like many other Palestinians

I looked up the history of the Shtayyeh family.There wasn't as much online as there is from other famous Palestinian families who proudly trace their histories to companions of Mohammed in Arabia.But about ten years ago, one member of the family seemed to go through social media to see all the the Shtayyehs he could find, and he made a slide show showing dozens of them...

Article on @MSN accuses Jews of a new "holocaust" against Palestinians

Cartoon with article in The New ArabMSN, like most media outlets, enters into syndication deals so they can publish articles from other news sources legally. Apparently, republishing and amplifying hate doesn't bother them.Today, MSN published an article by Wael Kandil in The New Arab that calls all Jews in Israel thieves - and worse:The fact that groups of Zionist...

Another Palestinian "child" soldier killed

Last night, another Palestinian under 18 who was a member of an armed group was killed - and he will be counted as one of the "children" Israel "murdered" this year.Hamza Al-Ashqar, 17, was killed in Nablus while shooting at soldiers. As is often the case with child soldiers killed who had been recruited by terror groups, part of Palestinian media emphasizes that he...

01/04 Links Pt1: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict can't be solved, only ended; UNRWA paving the road to conflict; Iran vows response to Khamenei cartoons in Charlie Hebdo

From Ian: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict can't be solved, only ended - opinion It’s not about what Israel does, but about what Israel is and represents. That’s why many oppose Israel and support its enemies. Attempts to find “solutions” were based on leftist assumptions that in order to have peace, Israel must make compromises and concessions. This was the basis of the...

12/27 Links Pt1: The World Has Forgotten Two Israelis Held by Palestinian Terrorists; ISIS-inspired terrorist arrested for deadly Jerusalem bombings

From Ian: The World Has Forgotten Two Israelis Held by Palestinian Terrorists Where is Hisham? Where is Avera? It has been more than 3,000 days since Avera Mengistu, an Israeli citizen and member of the Ashkelon Ethiopian community, climbed over the border fence in Gaza and was captured by Hamas. His family has had zero contact with him since. Roughly six months later, the...

Hamas says he was a "mujahid" was trying to stop Jews from prayer. The PA calls him a "soccer player" who was "assassinated." (UPDATE)

The messages about a Palestinian killed last night being sent to the West and for internal consumption are quite different.Under the Oslo Accords, Jews should have free access to Joseph's Tomb in Shechem (Nablus), but because the PA refuses to follow the agreement, every few weeks scores of Jews visit the tomb in the middle of the night - so as to minimize any impact...

12/02 Links Pt1: R.I.P., UN Two-state Solution; Welcome, Bibi: Blinken To Headline Anti-Israel J Street Conference; Palestinian teens order Haredi man to kiss their feet, post on TikTok, are arrested

From Ian: Welcome, Bibi: Blinken To Headline Anti-Israel J Street Conference A State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon that Blinken’s engagement with anti-Israel groups like J Street is an "important part" of the agency’s mission. "It is routine for the secretary of state to engage with different civil society groups representing a broad array of foreign policy interests,...
