The Rafah Refugees: Why Won’t Egypt Let Them in? (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein. Photos of Rafah refugees fleeing however they might—by car, on foot, by bundle-laden donkey-driven carts—were everywhere yesterday, the unseasonable rain adding a poignant touch of pathos to their plight. The parents looked grim for the photos, while the...

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,...

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...

Gaza staged fauxtography 2022

As sure as the flower after the rain come the obviously staged photos in the rubble of any Israel/Gaza fighting.Like these:I don't know if the AFP photographer told the subjects where to stand, or if the Palestinian terror groups that run Gaza set up an event for kids in the rubble and called the photographers. (As we will see, it is probably the latter.) Either way,...

Now Qatar and the PA are insulting each other

Over the weekend, the the head of the Qatar National Committee for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, Mohammed Al-Emadi, criticized PA president Mahmoud Abbas over his collective punishment of Gazans to pressure Hamas, which includes withholding medicines, fuel and salaries. Al Emadi told reporters, "I've said to President Abbas before: You are the president of...

Irony alert: Terrorist groups upset at being the target of a suicide bomber

Times of Israel reports: A suicide bomber killed a Hamas guard in southern Gaza early Thursday when forces tried to stop him from infiltrating into Egypt, members of the terror organization said, in what sources described as a rare attack against the Islamist group. “Early this morning security forces stopped two people approaching the southern border (with Egypt),”...

How Amnesty lies and twists the truth

Right after I posted my last article on Amnesty's latest report based on its executive summary, the actual Amnesty report about the fighting in Rafah last year was released. It took me about two minutes to identify the first lie. An engineer corps soldier who took part in the incursion told Breaking the Silence that his orders were “to make a big boom before the ceasefire”,...

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....

Hamas continues to arrest and beat political opponents

Today, Hamas raided and closed the headquarters of a group called the Democratic Union of Palestine in Rafah, confiscating some of the group's files and arresting and beating its leaders. Hamas also detained and beat 14 Fatah members. These sort of events are happening pretty much every day, yet one would have to look long and hard to find any Western so-called "human rights for Gaza" organization mentioning them, let alone condemning...
