I find I can’t look very long at videos in which Hamas’ atrocities are shown or even described in much detail. I’ve seen some, but they are so profoundly disturbing that I’ve turned them off after a short while. And … Continue reading →

Hamas depends on ignorance and lies
Commenter “J.J.” asks some questions of those who blame Israel and support Hamas: Has the history of Israel since 1948 been erased from these peoples’ minds? Have they forgotten about Pallywood? Or did they ever know? Have they forgotten about … Continue reading →

I continue to be gobsmacked by these routines:

It may seem puzzling. Instead of increasing sympathy for the Israelis among Palestinian supporters in the West, the October 7 massacre seems to have done the opposite: increased the hatred, and not just for Israelis but for Jews. There are … Continue reading →
Four recommended videos
