Find me a matching photo of Gaza

Here’s your assignment, all you Jew-haters: Find me a photo taken in Gaza that matches this image of devastation in Deir Ezzour, Syria. This area was hit with just about every weapon in a modern army’s arsenal. First there was an artillery barrage and aerial bombing, and then infantrymen went in and finished the job….

The great irony of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

I began studying the Israeli Defense Forces when I was about nine. I couldn’t explain why. Part of the reason was that the Israelis used World War II equipment, which had interested me since I was five. I’ve always hated war, but I’ve always studied it. People often enter the psychiatric field to find out…

Tell me again that hatred of Jews isn’t a factor

Former Associated Press journalist and editor Matti Friedman has written a piece titled “What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel.” It’s a good article about how the global press is biased against Israel, but there’s a giant hole in it: Why—of all the nations on earth—has the media chosen Israel as the subject of transparently…

Damage done by Israeli weapons

A reader asked me to do something that required all my researching skills. She very reasonably asked me to show the damage done by Israeli weapons. I read your blog posts regularly, and I noticed that you talk a lot about what Israeli explosions don’t look like. You’ve shown us a lot of Hamas-conducted explosions…

This is why I said “No interviews”

After James Delingpole of Breitbart London wrote “Claim: The Four Palestinian Boys Killed on the Beach Were Not Blown Up by Israel but Murdered by Hamas,” I wrote a post to the media explaining that I would give no interviews on the topic. The main reason is that I don’t know how much damage I…

The IDF killed no civilians in Gaza

Today I learned a fact that both exhilarated and depressed me. The exhilaration is the result of my faith in the Israeli Defense Forces being indisputably and permanently justified. However, I’m depressed because once again, prominent Israelis show me that they aren’t willing to debunk the lies that demonize and demoralize the fighting men and…

Note to the media: Sorry, no interviews

Today one of my favorite columnists—James Delingpole—picked up the story of Operation Four Little Martyrs. That could mean that Israel’s name will soon be cleared. Media outlets are contacting me. I’m sorry to say that I’ll give no interviews on this. There are lots of reasons, but the main one is that the Israeli Defense…

The lie that Israel used too much artillery in Gaza

Yesterday Al Jazeera published a piece by Mark Perry titled “Why Israel’s Bombardment of Gaza Neighborhood Left US Officers ‘Stunned.’” It’s a dishonest hit piece that can be debunked with one sentence, but I’ll write a lot more. The lie that Israel used too much artillery in Gaza has been around for a while, so…

Guest post on the fake Gaza sniper video

A man named Gabe Silber left a comment on my Facebook page about the fake Gaza sniper video. This is just too magnificent to not share. With Gabe’s permission, here it is. First, the original fake Gaza sniper video, put out by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Then the horrendously dishonest Channel 4 News story,…

Astounding media stupidity about Gaza

The Wall Street Journal is the latest publication to become Hamas stenographers. “Surveying the Destruction in Gaza” is one of the dumbest news reports I’ve seen. There is no bottom to reach. The western press will continue degrading until it’s a hideous dancing skeleton covered in putrefaction. There’s so much to deconstruct here. The Wall…
