Hamas held a gala to honor media outlets in Gaza that reported on what Hamas wanted reported - and that ignored what Hamas wanted silenced.
The Hamas media department sponsored the ceremony, saying it was "honoring media organizations for their role in covering field events in the Gaza Strip during the days of the aggression."
During the war, the Gaza media dutifully refused to report on Hamas rockets being shot from residential neighborhoods, or of Gazans killed by misfired rockets, or of how GAza human rights organizations identified terrorists killed by Israel as "civilian."
Scores of journalists attended the event, not at all embarrassed to be associated with Hamas, which does not allow freedom of the press in Gaza at all. Hamas logos were prominently displayed during the event.
I wonder if the New York Times and AP reporters were in attendance.
Oren Gross is a professor of law at the University of Minnesota Law School since 2002. He is an expert on international law and has published extensively.
On Tuesday, he resigned from that university's Center for Jewish Studies over its atmosphere of pervasive anti-Zionism and its indifference to the new wave of antisemitism.
"I see no place for me to remain affiliated with CJS which has turned into an echo chamber of silence and in which those, such as myself, who are unapologetic Zionists feel increasingly isolated," Dr. Gross wrote in his resignation letter.
Gross was unsparing in his critique of his progressive colleagues refusing to support Israel when it was being bombarded by thousands of rockets, or, worse, siding with Hamas. "Most of you stayed silent when Israel was attacked (again!). Some of you thought it opportune to shine your golden entry ticket to progressive circles by actually condemning the Jewish state," he charged.
Worse, he accuses his colleagues at CJS of silence in the face of new attacks against Jews worldwide. "Most of you stayed silent even when anti-Semitism and physical violence against Jews in the United States increased, this time not by individuals wearing red MAGA hats but rather the colors of the Palestinian flag," Gross continued.
Exposing how unwilling the CJS is in allowing any opinions to be stated that reject the prevailing anti-Israel orthodoxy, Gross writes, "If anything, CJS has turned into a space that rejects, institutionally, any principled position-taking in support of Israel. It is 'safe' as long as one shies away from engaging with vicious, hurtful attacks especially from within the University. "
"It is thus, with a heavy heart, that I inform you all of the decision to resign my affiliation with CJS effective immediately."
This is not only a problem at the University of Minnesota. As Professor Andrew Pessin recently wrote here, over 200 Jewish Studies academics signed a letter condemning Israel for defending itself in May.
However, Gross says that he will still be involved in Jewish studies - just not at CJS. "I shall thus seek to establish new and vigorous fora for the pursuit of Jewish and Israel studies at the University of Minnesota as well as outside its academic walls," his letter concludes.
Perhaps he is already working on establishing a inter-university Jewish Studies forum that will allow true freedom of expression, something that is increasingly rare in academia.
In 2016, Hamas executed a leader Mahmoud Ishtiwi for being gay.
In 2019 the PA announced that LGBTQ groups may not meet in the West Bank because they are "harmful to the higher values and ideals of Palestinian society".
The PA police blackmails gay men to be spies.
The main organization that fights for gay rights in the West Bank is AlQaws. Their annual report is obsessed with - Israel. Here was one of their online events last year.
They were also very upset when a Palestinian food manufacturer Al Arz Tahin made a substantial donation to an Israeli LGBT organization to establish a support hotline for LGBT Palestinians. Yes, they were against this, saying "The Al Arz donation controversy offered a unique opportunity
to foreground our critique of capitalism and its intersections
with colonialism and patriarchy."
Oh, of course.
The new director of AlQaws is Haneen Sader. You might think it is surprising that she reveals her name, given how anti-gay Palestinian society is, but she is an Israeli Arab who lives in Haifa.
Yes, the main person attacking Israel for its supposed persecution of Palestinian gays is living a free and openly gay life in Israel.
And she works for Apple. Her anti-capitalist stance does not extend to her refusing to work for a multi-billion dollar international company.
There is no doubt that AlQaws actually does quietly fight t help gay people in the West Bank, a thankless task given how anti-gay Palestinian society is. Nevertheless, their public stances tend to criticize Israel and not the political leaders of the Palestinians, because any and every Palestinian organization and platform knows the rules - they must be united in their stance that Israel is the worst country on Earth.
They posted a Quranic verse on social media about the importance of charity, and added, "Reserve yourself a share in support of the resistance through the Bitcoin donation link."
At the link they have an animated video describing how to donate with Bitcoin.
I assume that Israel has hacked the site and can see the "progressives" who are clicking to donate.
The International Legal Forum, an Israel-based legal network of over 3,000 lawyers and activists in 30 countries, committed to fighting anti-Semitism, terror and delegitimization of Israel in the international legal arena, has released a groundbreaking report titled: “Recognizing Anti-Zionist Antisemitism” The report, authored by ILF lawyer Russell Shalev, is the first in-depth study of its kind, to comprehensively examine and summarize recent policy-statements, legislation and case-law on anti-Zionist anti-Semitism.
This report comes in the wake of unprecedented explosion in global antisemitism and violence against Jews in Europe and North America, following the May 2021 conflict between Israel and Hamas. In the UK alone, according to the Communal Security Trust, there was a staggering 500% increase in anti-Semitic incidents since hostilities between Hamas and Israel began, with jarring scenes of a convoy of cars with Palestinian protesters driving through central London, screaming “f*ck the Jews, rape their daughters.” At another rally in London, protesters could be heard chanting “we want the Zionists, we want their blood”, while elsewhere, Jews have been assaulted in broad daylight.
In Germany, Austria, France and elsewhere across Europe, there have been similar scenes of virulent antisemitism, incitement and violence, amplified and exacerbated by social media. Likewise, across the United States and Canada, there have been shocking and sickening scenes of Jews viciously attacked, harassed and beaten in the streets, with the ADL noting there was 75% increase in anti-Semitic attacks since the conflict between Hamas and Israel broke out.
In response, President Biden declared “such attacks on the Jewish community are despicable, and they must stop. I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad – it’s up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor.”
It is time, once and for all, to dispense with the notion that these acts of wanton intimidation, harassment and violence are anything but Jew hatred and antisemitism disguised as anti-Zionism, with a direct correlation between the vilification of Israel and violence against Jews.
Antisemitism in the United States is even more pervasive than it appears, Malcolm Hoenlein, vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said Monday.
“It’s worse because the majority of incidents are not reported,” Hoenlein told The Times of Israel at a meeting with staff in Jerusalem alongside the Conference’s chair Dianne Lob and CEO William Daroff.
“We get reports all the time of it. I see it not only in my own community but from rabbis who call me and others. And often the police will not classify it as a hate crime because then the FBI has to come in, and the FBI doesn’t necessarily want to because it’s a lot of paperwork et cetera… But they’re encountering more hostility and the vast majority of incidents don’t go reported even though the number of reports is increasing sharply.”
There has been a drastic spike in antisemitism across the US surrounding the recent conflict in Israel and Gaza.
In New York City, amid dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian rallies earlier in May, Jews were assaulted in the street. In the days following, Jews across New York posted on social media about being threatened, harassed or otherwise attacked for being Jewish. Synagogues in Florida, Illinois and Arizona were targeted. Two antisemitic incidents were caught on video in Los Angeles.
The antisemitic incidents have led some to refrain from wearing Jewish symbols publicly out of fear of being attacked.
The Middle East conflict is really a series of successive conflicts. At first, it had been only a religious conflict, which grew into a territorial one with Israel's revival. In turn, the territorial conflict, due to the Sisyphean labor of Soviet communists, was transformed into an ideological conflict through the injection of Marxist rhetoric.
President Trump tried to finish off the ideological phase of the conflict in the Middle East and put it on a rational economic track. Trump made an offer that could not be refused in exchange for ending the multi-billion dollar financing of terrorism franchise wars, Arab countries would receive multi-billion dollar American investments. The benefit is twofold. The Arab countries generally agreed because the Palestinian problem, purely economically, is very disadvantageous to them.
Trump tried to end what began long before him but had touched a raw nerve. The termination of the ideological phase of the conflict turned out to be unprofitable for the American Left, and the Biden administration returned the conflict to square one. In fact, Joe Biden uses taxpayer dollars to assist Palestinian Arabs in buying Iranian missiles to attack Israel. In addition, Biden appointed an Islamic activist to "cleanse" the US military of "extremism." Without a doubt, Iran, Russia, and Hamas still cannot believe their luck with the current occupant of the White House. As a result, in 2021, Jews are welcomed in the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries, but not in America.
Anti-Semitism has been around for several thousand years, although this term has officially existed only since 1879. The overwhelming majority of more or less reasonable people perfectly understood that this nefarious phenomenon is irrational. There is not and cannot be a rational explanation for it. However, the Left decided to take the next step, and in America, under the leadership of the Floydenized Democrats, the process of normalizing anti-Semitism has begun. If before, in a decent society, anti-Semitism was a taboo, now the taboo has been lifted. The new American norm will not be the complete absence of anti-Semitism but the establishment of some level of anti-Semitism acceptable in a decent society.
Normalizing what was previously considered impossible or unacceptable is the hallmark of the Left. At the beginning of the 21st century, leftists normalized the attribution of the red color (the color of enemies) for conservatives and republicans. Previously, this color was associated only with the Left. In the twentieth century, the term "Palestinians" was normalized and redefined by the Left. The term "Palestinian" had meant Jews exclusively, but since 1967, at the suggestion of the KGB, they began to call "Palestinians" exclusively Arabs. Symptoms of this normalization of anti-Semitism were the simultaneous and well-coordinated attacks on Jews in Israel, New York, and California.
A ceasefire has now been declared in Israel. However, there is never a ceasefire in the struggle between Good and Evil, even a temporary one. Especially when Good and Evil are on opposite sides of ideological barricades.
The special conditions under which Jews lived in the Diaspora before Emancipation and in Ereẓ Israel especially up to World War i led to a kind of community similar to a miniature state. To preserve the character of the community, whose members did not enjoy the privileges of other citizens, Jews were obliged to create and provide for their own institutions, such as synagogues, rabbinic courts, schools, hospitals, homes for the aged, soup kitchens for the poor, etc. All these institutions were administered by the community and financed by its members through ordinary and extraordinary contributions. In order to cope with these tasks, the communal leaders at times resorted to issuing tokens of their own, with an internal value only and not generally acceptable outside the community. To not raise the suspicion of the authorities, they were often cast in a style that distinguished them from legal tender. Many communities issued tokens in metal or paper, and much information about them has been lost.
Under Turkish rule in the 19th and 20th centuries, the communities in Ereẓ Israel issued a considerable number of tokens. A brass Ẓedakah token was issued in Jerusalem by the Torat Ḥayyim yeshivah, which also put out a small stamp-shaped paper token of ½ para and different kinds of paper currency in denominations of 1, 5, and 10 gold Napoleons. Other communities in Jerusalem, such as the various kolelim, also issued their own paper currency, as did Hebron yeshivah (in Jerusalem) during the British Mandate. There were other brass tokens, such as a square one bearing the legend שְׂכַר שְׁחִיטָה דַקָּה ("fee for the
slaughter of a sheep or goat"), a rectangular one inscribed צְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת ("charity saves from death"), a round one with the legend קרש ("grush" = piaster = 40 para), and another round one with the abbreviation צְדָקָה לַעֲנִיִּים) צל״ע "charity for the poor"). Turkish copper coins were also issued, countermarked with the same abbreviation. In the 1880s the colony of Zikhron Ya'akov and the agricultural school of Mikveh Israel issued brass tokens of 1, ½, and ¼ (presumably piaster), which, however, were declared illegal by the Turkish authorities. Another more primitive brass token was issued by the colony of Reḥovot, which also issued paper tokens inscribed in Hebrew and French in denominations of ½, 1, 3, 6, 13, and 26 piasters. ...To overcome the lack of currency from 1914 to 1916, the Anglo-Palestine Co., the forerunner of the Anglo-Palestine Bank and today's Bank Leumi, issued checks in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 francs which were accepted by the yishuv as legal tender.
Jews had been doing this for centuries in their communities, and it is a fascinating topic. But it appears that at least some of these tokens became accepted currency in Ottoman Palestine even for non-Jews!
Ironically, the same Abbas who told Blinken that he (Abbas) is committed to a peace process with Israel is the same Abbas who also wants to see his Israeli "peace partners" put on trial at the ICC.
Now comes Blinken and announces that the reopening of the consulate in the city. Here is how the Palestinians understand his gestures: If you fire 4,000 rockets and missiles at Israel, you get a US embassy in Jerusalem and millions of dollars of US taxpayer money. It works! The solution, then, is to keep on doing it!
By reopening the consulate, Blinken is telling both Hamas and Abbas that the US does not recognize Jerusalem as the united and undivided capital of Israel.
Blinken has also sent a message to Abbas and Hamas that former US President Donald Trump's formula of "peace for peace" in the Middle East is off the table; they no longer need to worry.
Abbas and Hamas are rubbing their hands because, the way they see it, the Biden administration has just achieved their goal of scrapping Trump's peace plan, "Peace to Prosperity: A vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People."
By rewarding Abbas, Hamas and the anti-normalization camp in the Arab world, the Biden administration has bludgeoned its declared objective of reviving a peace process in the Middle East. It has demonstrated decisively that corruption and dictatorship pay. It has shown that terrorism pays – to the tune of millions of dollars. Palestinian incitement and violence against Israel are unlikely to recede in the context of such an encouraging outcome.
It’s far easier to portray Israel as a criminal land thief than it is to acknowledge that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex and rife with disinformation, with one side preaching peaceful coexistence and another wanting the land of Israel to be Judenrein.
This ceasefire is not a peace agreement, nor is it an acknowledgement of error by Hamas. In fact, quite the opposite. Ismail Haniyeh, a senior Hamas leader, crowed that the violence achieved one key goal: preventing peace with the Jewish state. “We have destroyed the project of coexistence with Israel, of normalization with Israel,” Haniyeh said after the ceasefire took effect.
Haniyeh makes no secret of regularly reiterating Hamas’ ultimate goal, the destruction of Israel, and in the interim, the continued refusal to accept the Jewish state’s right to exist. Sending rockets at Israel and killing civilians in their homes was just a short-term means to that end.
The longer-term goal is to create a moral equivalence between Israel and the Islamist terrorist groups who seek its destruction, ensuring that Israel’s hands are tied in any future conflict, thus preventing it from meaningfully degrading Hamas’ ability to murder Israeli civilians.
This most recent bout of violence, and all the violence preceding it, is driven exclusively by the refusal of Hamas and the PA to accept Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Yet it does not have to be this way.
Israel has, time and time again, made painful concessions for peace and offered generous peace proposals to the Palestinians, who only reciprocated with rejectionism and terrorism. Israel has always extended its hand for peace with the Arab world, which is exemplified by the recently forged peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
The only thing accomplished by acting as if there’s a moral equivalence between Israel and those who seek to destroy it, is to create a feel-good performative exercise that only perpetuates the violent stalemate between Israel and Hamas. This benefits nobody, least of all the Palestinians, whose bloodthirsty and intransigent leadership remains the biggest obstacle to peace.
HonestReporting: Israel Under Attack From Hamas and Media: HonestReporting CEO Interviewed by CUFI
CUFI's Kasim Hafeez and Corina Cater have a heartfelt conversation with HonestReporting CEO Daniel Pomerantz about life in Israel during the recent Gaza conflict with Hamas. Hear directly from Jerusalem about how difficult life under fire was, especially in light of biased and false media coverage.
WHAT DOES it say about the American Jewish community that we have not yet organized a single rally in DC, where the most important political decisions about Israel are being taken?
My close friend Ron Dermer, the most successful ambassador to the US in the Jewish state’s history, was recently criticized by some for saying in an interview that Christian Evangelicals are more reliable supporters of Israel than American Jews. Some went so far as to even call him a post-Zionist, a particularly disgusting criticism of the man who helped facilitate the moving of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the funding of Iron Dome, the withdrawal of the United States from the abominable Iran deal, the Obama administration’s increase of foreign aid to Israel, and the plethora of COVID vaccines to Israel.
But to all of Ron’s Jewish critics I would say: If you think he’s misguided, then prove him wrong.
Let’s finally organize a Jewish march on DC for Israel. Let’s do it, God willing, in the next two weeks. Let’s stop with the excuses that we didn’t rally for Israel because we quietly sent rabbis to Israel or had an online rally.
What Israel needs right now is public, loud, and unconditional support from American Jewry. And we need it in the streets!
There’s an unspoken agreement between American Jews and Israeli Jews wherein the latter are prepared to send their sons and daughters to the IDF (our family has proudly had two children serve, with one on the way, God willing), endure terrorist rockets on their cities, and rebuild the Jewish homeland after 2,000 years of exile.
All they ask of us in return is to stand with them when genocidal terrorists try to annihilate them.
Do we pay a price?
Sure we do. Jews are now being beaten in Times Square and American streets in displays of antisemitism that have no precedent in this country. And we’ll also be excoriated on social media for doing so.
But we must, while combating domestic antisemitism, fulfill our side of the bargain, standing up for the safety of Israel’s Jewish, Muslim and Christian citizens and freedom and democracy in the Middle East.
No more excuses. Let’s organize a Washington rally now.
In a Youtube video uploaded by Noor Kids, Linda Sarsour and host Amin Aaser deliver a lesson in hatred to Muslim children ages 5-12.
Entitled, "David + Goliath: Learning About Palestine", the two promote lies about the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, teaching children that the Jewish people have no history in the Israel and that Israel is a "bad, violent bully" who kills small children. The Noor Kids youtube channel has over 23K subscribers from all over the world. They promote themselves as "Harvard-sponsored" but it seems that the Aaser brothers who created it once received a grant for their business plan from Harvard Business School and there is no ongoing financial relationship between them and Harvard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVRb3u84H-M
The video starts off with Aaser, one of the two founders of Noor kids, retelling the story of David and Goliath, only in this version, Prophet Daoud is a Muslim, as are the Bani Isra'il, which is the Arabic term for Jews in the Quran. In other words, the Muslims are the true Jews. The story is not only historically inaccurate (King David lived around 1000 BCE, 1500 years before Mohammed was born) but deeply offensive to Jews. This erases our very identity.
After finishing the story, Aaser explains to his audience that they may have heard relatives talking about Palestine, and that he will now explain how they can stand up to bullies like Goliath. He goes on to connect the dots: "If you've been watching the news, the Palestinians have been getting bullied for 100 years" and shows the children the erroneous, debunked "Map That Lies" that MSNBC had to apologize for.
Enter Linda Sarsour. With a bright smile, she feeds the young audience a series of falsehoods, such as the myth that before 1948 everyone got along peacefully in Palestine until suddenly foreigners came and decided to kick people out of their homes. She tells them that in Palestine there are so many young beautiful boys and girls just like them who sometimes can't go to school because there are military in their neighborhood who scare them with big guns and throw weapons at them. She claims that Israel doesn't let kids in Gaza go to the beach. She urges them to think about how they would feel if this happened to them. Aaser suggests that it's as if someone came into their homes and declared, "All your toys are mine now". He compares the UN to the adult in the room, and explains that even the UN agrees that Israel is a big bully. Sarsour solemnly explains to the children that Palestinian kids are surrounded by barbed wire because their neighbors don't want to go to the same schools and stores as them. "Palestinians have a right to defend themselves from bullies" she explains, helping the children understand that terrorism is justified. Finally, she drives the point home: "The State of Israel is the bully. They have killed little children. Just in the last ten days, little boys and girls were killed...so this is a really big bad violent bully".
What can the children in audience do to help the poor victimized Palestinians?
-- Keep talking about Palestine to your friends and neighbors
-- Tell your parents to find good organizations and send them money so Palestinian children can have food, clean water and toys (never mind that all money that goes to Gaza passes through Hamas' hands)
-- Tell your parents to call their members of congress to stop giving Israel money to do bad things to Palestine.
All of this rhetoric is familiar to those who have been following Linda Sarsour's career. She is a very vocal and popular propagandist for those who wish to see Israel destroyed, and she's been active in promoting the political careers of those who follow her anti-Israel agenda. What's new here is her attempt to brainwash small children to hate Israel by erasing Jewish history, whitewashing terrorism, and demonizing the Jewish state as baby killers. This is classic antisemitism, disguised as "criticism of the Israeli government". It's especially disturbing that she's using such hateful words to indoctrinate small children.
Sarsour loves to promote her "Jewish friends" at IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace who question the one-sided narratives they were raised with about Israel. But she has no problem promoting a false narrative to Muslim children which erases Jewish history. Where is the IfNotNow for Muslim children, who will later say, "You never told me"? How do the "100 Jewish leaders" who declared in 2017 that they "stand with Linda" feel now? Does Linda stand with them? https://forward.com/fast-forward/373499/prominent-jewish-leaders-issue-letter-in-solidarity-with-linda-sarsour/
An interesting subtext during the cease fire is the political maneuverings of Fatah and Hamas to be seen as the leaders of the Palestinians.
In an honor/shame society, appearances are reality, and Hamas appeared as the undisputed leader of Palestinians during the Gaza fighting, as most Palestinians looked at Hamas as an organization that actually does something, as opposed to Fatah.
But now, Hamas needs to rebuild Gaza - and most donors don't want to deal with Hamas directly or exclusively.
Mahmoud Abbas is trying to ensure that the PLO's role in getting donors for Gaza will allow some of those funds to go to him and his groups.
The PA is also trying to emphasize "defending Jerusalem" as its role, which is exactly what Hamas pretended to do with thousands of rockets.
In addition, the PLO is working closely with the ICC to try to get it to accuse Israel of war crimes in Gaza.
Both Hamas and the PLO are trying to make contacts with Arab countries to act as the real representatives of Palestinians. The PLO is leading in that race, but Hamas looks like it will re-establish relations with Syria at Iran's urging; the two split when Hamas criticized Syria for killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Hamas is calling for a "Day of Rage" in the West Bank this Friday, in a move to attract the masses to the idea that Hamas is their real leader. Two weeks ago, Fatah held a general strike in the West Bank for the same purpose.
Hamas is also heavily publicizing its "victory parades" through Gaza, sending a message to West Bank Arabs as the true leaders in fighting Israel.
We aren't even mentioning the international community's attempts to parlay this to their own advantages. The UN, EU, Quartet, Egypt and Qatar are all trying to look like the ones who can broker a deal and appear like world leaders. "Human rights" organizations are rushing to publish anti-Israel reports as quickly as possible.
It's all politics.
No one really cares about actual, ordinary Palestinians and how they can live normal lives without being at the mercy of their immature leaders who are willing to sacrifice them at a moment's notice for their own political gain.
On May 11, the Quds News Network posted a video on YouTube showing a young boy crying as he chased the funeral procession of his father who was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The video shows the boy, Baraa Suleiman, wailing as he runs after his father's body.
The YouTube video has over 1.1 million views, and there were millions more views of the mourning child from other media outlets.
What none of the reports said was that the father was Walid Suleiman, a major Hamas leader. The Al Qassam Brigades just released an 18 minute video tribute to Suleiman.
The propaganda victory doesn't end there.
Walid was killed along with another son of his, Mohammed. The New York Times listed Mohammed as one of the children killed in Gaza:
But its research into the background of the children it lists doesn't mention that Suleiman's father was a Hamas leader and military target, and therefore he is responsible for Mohammed's death.
Major media aren't researching how many children were killed because they were near legitimate targets. Instead, the media is more interested in painting Israelis as war criminals, and details like this prove the exact opposite - that Hamas is guilty of war crimes by embedding military targets with civilians.
Hamas understands very well the underlying anti-Israel thinking in major media. It provides the selective information to the journalists, and it knows the journalists are too lazy and anti-Israel to bother to dig any deeper than the stories handed to them on a terrorist platter.
Hamas announced on Monday that it had pulled the body of Walid Shamali, who they describe as a leader and an expert in the military manufacturing unit, out of the rubble under a building in the Shuja’iya neighborhood of Gaza.
The interesting part is that Israel announced that they killed him on May 12, along with other major Hamas targets. They described him as Hamas' commander of the Industrial Equipment Directorate of the Production System.
Hamas already had admitted that many leaders were killed in that airstrike, but didn't announce most of their names. It is possible that his body really was pulled out Monday, but it seems more likely that Hamas withheld the news of his death until well after the fighting so it could claim that most of the dead were civilians.
At any rate, it shows that Israel's intelligence in Gaza is excellent - to know that their airstrike successfully killed him before any official announcement.
In other news - see above that Hamas uses Caterpillar equipment, even though BDS wants to boycott Caterpillar.
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
