Peer reviewed paper in "Political Geography" journal calls Palestinian terrorists "freedom fighters" (@Pol_Geog_Jl)

Here is the abstract of a paper by Walaa Alqaisiya, published in Political Geography, a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Elsevier: Beyond the contours of Zionist sovereignty: Decolonisation in Palestine's Unity IntifadaThis article takes the May 2021 uprising in Palestine, known as the Unity Intifada, as a prism to map old and new political geographies...

Islamic Jihad insists it won the mini-war in May. Palestinians don't agree.

Islamic Jihad (PIJ) mouthpiece Palestine Today has several recent articles about how the May fighting was a great victory for them.They quote a Lebanese "expert" who describes how they achieved their goals in the fighting. A delegation from Islamic Jihad went to Syria and described their "victory,' saying the war never ended.One reason for these articles is that PIJ is celebrating...

The UN doesn't care when Palestinians are killed by Palestinian rockets

The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the territories, OCHA-OPT, issues biweekly reports on civilian casualties and other issues.After Operation Breaking Dawn, it summarized:During the escalation, 49 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, of whom at least 22 were civilians, including 17 children and four women, according to OHCHR.The report implies...

Honor/shame culture: The worse you lose, the louder you declare victory

Islamic Jihad is holding a large rally today to celebrate its great victory in the Gaza fighting earlier this month. Here's a video featuring victory music and children with the same kinds of rockets that killed many of their friends:There's only one problem: Islamic Jihad lost. Badly.Their military leaders were killed. They didn't convince Hamas to join the fighting. Most...

08/22 Links Pt1: Half of Fatalities from IDF Strikes in Gaza Fighting Were Terrorist Operatives; Gantz: Jerusalem is Israel's; can't be the Palestinians', too

From Ian: Half of Fatalities from IDF Strikes in Gaza Fighting Were Terrorist Operatives During the three days of Operation Breaking Dawn (August 5-7, 2022), 1,175 rockets were fired at Israel, with around 990 landing in Israeli territory. The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted about 450 rockets with a 97% rate of success. Around 200 rockets fell in the Gaza Strip...

Islamic Jihad official: "Killing our leaders makes us stronger!" Sounds good to me.

Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is really, really trying hard to spin Operation Breaking Dawn as a victory. The latest delusional logic comes from a Palestine Today interview of PIJ political bureau member Dr. Walid al-Qatati. “The loss of the martyrs, especially the great leaders, saddens and pains us and leaves a great void for their families and their movement,...

The Gaza fauxtography continues

During Operation Breaking Dawn, the amount of damage Israel inflicted on Gaza was very limited. As far as I can tell, in only two cases did we see an entire building leveled in an urban area as the IDF successfully targeted top Islamic Jihad figures.But Gaza photographers need to make the most of these incidents. They must find ways to frame their photos to make the damage...

Arab media more honest about Islamic Jihad killing Gaza civilians than Western media and "human rights" groups

Amira Hass in Haaretz published a detailed account of the Gazans who died in Operation Breaking Dawn and the circumstances of each death. I disagree with several of her conclusions, and she doesn't identify all of their affiliations with terror groups, but on the whole it is a reasonably fair article that squarely blames Islamic Jihad for the deaths of 19 civilians including...

+972 Magazine has an article about how awful and immoral the IDF is.The Israeli news site Ynet quoted army officials boasting that the ratio between “non-combatants” and combatants killed was “the best of all the operations.” And yet, Israel admits that it killed at least 11 people who had nothing to do with militant activities, including a five-year-old girl. Yes, a...

After the fighting, Gazans go right back to the beach

Al Resalah's headline is, "Palestinians enjoying their time on the seashore of Gaza City after life returned to normal and the Israeli aggression stopped."Nearly all of Gaza was untouched by Israeli weapons, and the Gazans know it, even though the Israel haters (in Western and Arab media) try to pretend that there was massive devastation and permanent psychological damage.I...

Here is my latest database of those killed in Gaza. I will keep this one updated. Some of the circumstances are still unclear but this is the best information I have. I'm belatedly adding some links to show where I get my information from. 1- Imad Abd al-Rahim Shallah, 50 Gaza. With PIJ 2- Youssef Salman Qaddoum 24 Gaza. PIJ 3- Tayseer Mahmoud Al-Jabari, 50 Gaza City. PIJ 4-...

Even anti-Israel DCI-P NGO tacitly admits that 13 of 16 children who died in Gaza were killed by Islamic Jihad rockets

Defence for Children-Palestine is a rabidly anti-Israel NGO that uses the deaths of children as a means to attack Israel. To give an idea of how little context they give their stories, they are counting 16-year old terrorist Hussein Taha, being mourned as a jihadi fighter, as a "child" killed by Israel. In an article about the children killed over the weekend in...

One of the dumber memes that came out during Operation Breaking Dawn was that "Palestinians have the right to defend themselves." Given that virtually the only military actions by Gaza militants were shooting rockets into Israeli civilian communities (each one a war crime,) it is unclear how that defends Palestinians. Yet that is what these people are justifying: war...
