This Ongoing War

Here's the response the New York Times didn't print regarding its feature on the Palestinian village that spawned the terrorist who killed our daughter.

Are the minds and hearts of families irretrievably damaged by terror filled with thoughts of vengeance, of bloodshed and of evening the score? Apparently NOT.

The world's most important media platforms burnish Erekat's standing, providing him with a world-class megaphone for views that it's generous to called bigoted and loathsome.

Ignore for the moment the rank racism, the poor spelling, the absence of any basis for the wild and irresponsible allegations...

Lingering doubts that remained about the criminality of the organization frequently called the United States' "largest Islamic charity" [NY Times] ended on Monday. That's when the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that it would not overturn an earlier appeal that went against five officials from Holy Land Foundation convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars to Hamas. That appears to be the final legal avenue open to the convicted men and concludes the case.

How often do Gaza's Palestinian Arab terrorists end up hitting their parents, children, spouses or neighbors? Do you see these self-inflicted losses reported in the news media that serve your community? Keep the question in mind the next time you hear of injuries or deaths in Gaza along with Israeli denials of involvement.

The escalating weaponization of children by the Palestinian Arab leadership goes unreported by MSM

How much damage did Israel do to itself by engaging with the terrorist thugs of Hamas in the 2011 Gilad Shalit transaction?

Jordan, despite protestations to the contrary, never had a problem giving Tamimi major public platforms giving her 'celebrity-murderer' status. Will Jordan ever honor its treaty obligations to the US?

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization is having an open feud with the Hamas overlords.

So long as Abbas and his cronies rule, there's no hope for tolerance or non-violence from their side

The State Department is said to want the court to intervene on Arab Bank's behalf for foreign policy reasons.

One of the world's respected associations of lawyers has just made a special award in honor of one of its deceased members. Her career was not long. But it was not the quality of her legal work that earned her the award. She received it for killing 21 civilians and injuring 50 in a Haifa restaurant. The award about which we are writing was presented in the form of a plaque to the family of Hanadi Jaradat, formerly from Jenin in the Palestinian Authority territory, "on the sweet anniversary of her martyrdom."

Since we believe Palestinian Arab casualties that result from Palestinian Arab mis-handling or misfiring of Palestinian Arab explosives, guns, rockets, mortars and the like almost never get reported in the mainstream news media, we will be watching to see how much coverage this incident below gets. It appears at this moment on a Bethlehem-based (and somewhat Hamas-hostile) Palestinian news site.

The key characteristic is that many, probably most, of these attacks are done by Arab kids and teens

A highly regarded professor who is affiliated with Harvard engaged in anti-Israel rhetoric and a distortion of history.

With King Abdullah's visiting Washington at the invitation of Pres. Biden, it is most appropriate to share this open letter addressed to the Jordanian monarch. 

Playing the usual black-is-white games, the catalog notes say the people depicted are "those who lost their lives fighting against the occupation.”

Journalists, reporters, editors, photographers have a huge influence on what people THINK they know.

Hezbollah, by most calculations, is the military force that has the largest deployment of weapons pointed at Israel today. It's Iran's proxy, and is funded and armed by Iran and also by Syria. In much of the Arab and Moslem world, it has long been called a resistance movement [see this Asia Times analysis from 2006]. Among Western countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada and of course Israel, it's been classified as a terrorist organization for years and remains so.

A rocket from Gaza failed to make it over the fence. It crashed somewhere on the Hamas-controlled side.

We have searched and have not yet found a blog, article, published speech or op-ed in her language, Arabic, which criticizes proud terrorist Ahlam Tamimi or her views. So far, not one. If our readers can point us to exceptions, please do. This is deeply shocking. Tamimi's message resonates throughout the Arab and Islamic world. Her views don't even rise to the level of controversial. She's simply a hero, wall to wall.

No one serious is saying the Palestinian Arabs don't need aid or shouldn't get it. The problem is that foreign aid to the Palestinian Arab gets turned by them into something lethal and hideous.

Ordinary Syrians are paying with their lives for the double-talk about the 'refugees.'

UNRWA's numbers mean half the refugees in the world are Palestinian Arabs.

How to say this politely? As terror victims, the parents of a child murdered by an Islamist terrorist in the service of Hamas, our experience hasn't brought us to feel that the UN - or really anyone else in the world of major organizations - stands in solidarity with us.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri has a proclivity for turning what most would consider weighty matters into 'non-issues.'

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 18, marks one year since the Shalit deal when Israel received back the kidnapped hostage soldier, Gilad Shalit, and freed more than a thousand convicted terrorists, many of them killers of Israeli civilians. Yediot Aharonot carried a report today that is translated to English and excerpted below. It reveals some aspects of the transaction that, as far as we can tell, have gotten little to no coverage in other parts of the Israeli media.

The terror unit's leader is still at large in Gaza.

Canadian Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney blamed the 'old policies' for the grant of a pardon and permanent residency to the accused terrorist.
