Hamas has admitted that it has fired on Fatah demonstrators in Gaza because they threw stones at them. Seems like some Hamas members asked Reginald Denny if throwing stones could be painful. Thanks to Colin for sending in this excellent mirror of the hypocrisy embedded in the palestinian Muslim culture. The moral of the story? Jews can’t defend themselves when Muslims throw stones at them, but Muslims *can* defend themselves when other Muslims throw stones at them. From Reuters: Hamas security men opened fire after protesters hurled rocks at them in the Gaza Strip on Friday [Aug 24, 2007] in

We already knew this about Christiane Amanpour, the biased arabist “journalist” from CNN. From Poisonously Biased: CNN’s Christiane Amanpour has set a new standard – and not the kind a news network usually trumpets. “God’s Jewish Warriors,” her two-hour screed against Israeli settlers and American supporters of Israel, is the most poisonously biased and factually shoddy feature to air on mainstream American television in recent memory. To demonstrate the supposed threat of Jewish fundamentalism, the few cases of Jewish terrorism – a handful spanning decades, with each one overwhelmingly denounced by Israeli society and with those involved arrested, tried and

An IDF officer was rescued Monday afternoon by Palestinian Authority police officers after he mistakenly entered Jenin. It’s a shame when Jews can’t enter their own Jenin, thought to be the site of the Israelite village of En-gannim (עין גנים), mentioned in the Jewish Bible. But like everything else Islam has hijacked, Islam has also hijacked Jenin. The officer, a major serving in the army’s Central Command, was on his way to the Mevo Dotan settlement in the northern West Bank but accidentally drove into Jenin, located seven miles northeast of the settlement. Local Palestinian residents who noticed the officer

However, to the rest of us, she is just another Persian pimping for pan-Arabia; she has revised the history, language, religion, and culture of Israel with her repetition of the phrase, “God’s Jewish Warriors”, as if Jews were as despicable and

I disagree entirely with this author. Good grief, this is nothing but another example of the stench of Arab identity politics. From Hizbullah’s Christian Soldiers?: Michel Aoun, a charismatic former general who heads the country’s largest Christian political party, the Free Patriotic Movement, is openly allied with Hizbullah. What could Lebanese Christians possibly have in common with Hizbullah, the Islamist resistance movement? Perhaps it is the fact that Aoun’s Christian supporters and Hizbullah’s rank and file are motivated by a shared animus towards Lebanon’s political elite, a handful of families such as the Gemayel, whose progeny resurface in government after

More on the critical issue of Arab Muslim identity politics. From The Iran-Hizbullah Alliance: Last week saw the release of a new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) warning of an increased likelihood that Hizbullah could attack U.S. soil if it, or Iran, feels directly threatened by the United States. Washington continues to take action against the organization, but given Hizbullah’s impressive fundraising capabilities and Iranian support, the task is challenging. On July 18, 1994, a car bombing carried out by Hizbullah at Iran’s behest targeted the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA), a Jewish community organization, killing 85 and wounding more than

From Iraq’s Insurgency Nearly Half Saudi: About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis, a senior U.S. officer said. Fighters from Saudi Arabia are thought to have carried out more suicide bombings than those of any other nationality, he said. The situation has left the U.S. military in the awkward position of battling an enemy whose top
