Terrorist reactions to house demolitions indicate that the policy might be effective in discouraging attacks

This morning, the IDF demolished the home of the Hamas terrorist who killed brothers Hallel Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaniv, 19, as they drove through Huwara in February.I always wondered whether this policy actually deterred some terror attacks. Reading between the lines of the angry reactions from major terror groups, it appears that they may indeed act as a deterrent for...

UN accuses Israel a brand new crime - "domicide" - because Israel must be the worst violator of EVERY crime!

The UN's antisemitic Special Rapporteur for Attacking Israel, Francesca Albanese, tweeted this:The systematic demolition of Palestinian homes, erection of illegal Israeli settlements & systematic denial of building permits for Palestinians amounts to “domicide”. This is nothing but Israel’s attempt to curtail Palestinians’ self-determination & threaten their very existence. ...

Predictable: HRW doesn't mention Neve Yaakov massacre until they can condemn Israel for something else

Human Rights Watch's website was silent on the Neve Yaakov massacre last Friday night. Six days later, they do mention it - in the context of an article condemning Israel for sealing up the houses of the family of the murderer.The pattern, which we often see in the media as well, is predictable. When Gaza groups shoot rockets, the media only condemns Israel's reaction....

01/03 Links Pt1: Israel should put an end to Palestinian diplomatic terror; The UN for Empowering Terrorists; Ismail Haniyeh’s Son Draws Scorn for Life of Luxury

From Ian: Israel should put an end to Palestinian diplomatic terror Palestinian Authority leaders should start to feel overwhelming pressure at every turn. They have become used to a limp response by Israel to its attacks in the international arena and have become further emboldened.

Why has the media give Yair Lapid a pass when he was more aggressive against Palestinians than Bennett or Netanyahu?

For the past two months, the media has been churning out article after article on how the incoming Netanyahu government will be extremist, a disaster for Palestinians and Israelis alike. In an unprecedented move, US President Joe Biden gave a public warning to the incoming government that he will oppose policies that the US feels are against the two state solution.For a six...

Another Area C Arab "school" built just for people to denounce Israel when it demolishes it

Israeli courts have upheld a ruling to demolish an illegally built structure in Area C that purports to be a school.The metal prefabricated building, in Ein Samiya Al-Badawi, was built last January. And the ramshackle, dangerous building appears to have been built deliberately to be demolished, so Israel looks bad.I'm not convinced that the building was ever used as a...

A Palestinian's home will be demolished - but no human rights groups will care this time
