UN-OCHA moving the goalposts to make Israel look bad

The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the Palestinian territories comes out with a report every month about imports, exports, entrances and exits from Gaza. In its report on June, it says:In June, the Israeli authorities allowed 42,220 exits of people from Gaza (in most cases, travelers exited multiple times). This is 13 per cent higher than...

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...

Palestinian terrorists shoot at journalists, Israel blamed

Haaretz reported about the clashes in Jenin yesterday, and fully accepted the idea that unseen snipers shooting towards the journalists were Israeli and not Palestinian. Abu Ahmed, a long-time camp resident, said he had the impression that the army was planning to undertake a large-scale operation in the city and its environs. Residents say that when the presence of Israeli...

The Palestinian Waqf issued a statement yesterday:The Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, Sheikh Hatem Al-Bakri, denounced the Israeli occupation forces’ raid on Al-Assir Mosque in the Al-Jabriyat area, in the vicinity of Jenin camp, on Monday morning. Al-Bakri said in a press statement that the occupation forces blew up the door of the mosque, broke all the windows,...

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...

Dashcam footage of car ramming attack on Friday

Muhammad Shehada is one of the most vocal defenders of Palestinian terror under the pretense of "human rights." He is the Chief of Communication for the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and is a columnist for the Forward, also having written for Haaretz, Vice and Newsweek.He angrily denounced anyone who claimed that the car ramming attack on Friday that killed three, including...

New documentary questions the narrative of the IDF killing Shireen Abu Akleh (video)

Renowned documentary filmmaker Pierre Rehov has released a film on the death of Shireen Abu Akleh that casts doubt on whether it was an IDF soldier that killed her.It is called "Lies and Tears." Using some of the evidence I had uncovered, and with some additional expert testimony, Rehov looks at the events in Jenin that day with a critical eye. He interviews Palestinians who...

The Palestinian Authority says the American investigators of the Abu Akleh bullet are incompetent

The Palestinian Authority Public Prosecutor's Office has amazingly high tech equipment that can determine things that no other known investigators can. And they are surprised that the US investigators are too incompetent to properly examine a bullet. Really.Here's is their statement:The findings of the Public Prosecution's investigations in the case of the assassination...

How can these two facts be both true?After an extremely detailed forensic analysis, independent, third-party examiners, as part of a process overseen by the U.S. Security Coordinator (USSC), could not reach a definitive conclusion regarding the origin of the bullet that killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Ballistic experts determined the bullet was badly...

The Pallywood lies of "eyewitness" Ali Samoudi

As the US has finally pressured the Palestinian Authority to hand over the bullet that they claim killed Shireen Abu Akleh (and Israel is handing over the only weapon that they say could have shot in her direction on May 11,) it is worth looking a little more at how the main "eyewitness" to her death is a pathological liar.We've already discussed how Jenin journalist Ali Samoudi...

Remember Marc Garlasco?Back in 2009, I discovered that Garlasco, a Human Rights Watch researcher who wrote that organization's typically one-sided anti-Israel reports, was an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia. He was forced to resign after it was discovered that he had written things like "The leather SS jacket makes my blood go cold it is so COOL!"Now, NPR is rehabilitating...

It isn't just one bullet that is missing

While the world is falling over itself to declare Israel guilty for the death of Shireen Abu Akleh, no one seems to be talking about how careless and negligent the Palestinian Authority has been in its "investigation."I've watched lots of videos from the spot where Abu Akleh was killed in Jenin, but I have not seen one that shows the Palestinian police.Think about every crime...

The UN "investigation" into Abu Akleh's death is even more ridiculous than the others

The UN High Commissioner of Human Rights pretended to investigate the death of Shireen Abu Akleh, and it came to its pre-ordained conclusion with a minimum of pretense that it was being objective.In accordance with our global human rights monitoring methodology, our Office inspected photo, video and audio material, visited the scene, consulted experts, reviewed official communications...

The physics of determining the distance from the gun to a microphone, and why it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for the IDF to have shot Shireen (UPDATE)

As we've seen, all of the "investigations" of Shireen Abu Akleh's death that blame the IDF hinge on a single piece of evidence: audio analysis of the bullet sounds on different videos to determine the distance from the shooter to the camera. Every single analysis makes the same wrong assumption: that the estimates by the experts consulted has some wiggle room that...
