On Twitter—a name I’m finding more and more apt by the day—someone did what he thought would be a drive-by trolling, accusing me of being a propagandist. We got into it, and eventually he accused Israel of committing a war crime by killing four Palestinian boys on the Gaza beach, July 16, 2014. Here’s how…
Hamas caused most of the casualties in Gaza
September 8, 2014
When you factor in everything that we know about Operation Protective Edge, it becomes inarguable that Hamas caused most of the casualties in Gaza. Yes, the Israeli Defense Forces killed terrorists and some civilians, but Hamas directly and indirectly, deliberately and accidentally brought about most of the deaths during the conflict. Palestinian casualty figures are…
Deconstructing “Shujayea: Massacre at Dawn”
September 6, 2014
The Al Jazeera network has produced a piece of shoddy propaganda titled Shujayea: Massacre at Dawn, by Amjad Almalki and Ahmad Ashour. It’s a genuinely terrible film that gives me the opportunity to expose more Palestinian lies. The twenty-two minutes and forty-two seconds seem like hours, but if you want to watch the whole thing,…
Israelis know
August 31, 2014
Imagine living a world in which almost everyone who interacts with you is dishonest, corrupt, irrational, implacable, and hostile. Again and again you find yourself facing generic personalities, humanoids that repeat the same slogans endlessly and can’t be reached. They screw you without mercy, but you have no recourse. Nobody understands. I don’t have to…
Max Blumenthal debunks Palestinian propaganda, Part One
August 30, 2014
Today I went looking for evidence of a theory I have about the Battle of Shijaiyah (July 20-23, 2014), and why there’s so little fragmentation damage. I found my answer in of all places one of the most toxic, dishonest, vicious anti-Israel pieces I’ve ever read, “Gruesome Tales Surface of Israeli Massacres Against Families in…
Max Blumenthal debunks Palestinian propaganda, Part Two
August 30, 2014
In previous assaults on Gaza, Israeli forces met only light resistance. During Operation Cast Lead in 2008-09, when the army attacked Gaza’s civilian population with indiscriminate firepower, most Israeli casualties were the result of fratricide. That’s a lie. Ten IDF soldiers were killed in Operation Cast Lead; only four died from fratricide. But this time…
The historic defeat of Hamas
August 26, 2014
People lie and say stupid things because they’re corrupt, they’re dishonest, they’re idiots, or they want desperately to be liked by the in-crowd. The biggest in-crowd of all time is those who hate Jews. Even people who don’t hate Jews go along with the anti-Jewish propaganda because they want to belong. How can the United…
Anatomy of a media fraud in Gaza
August 25, 2014
At 12:30 a.m., August 25, 2014, the Israeli Defense Forces bombed the “Italian Compound,” a residential building in the Nasser neighborhood of Gaza City. All sorts of lies are being reported about it. I’ll show you the anatomy of a media fraud. Also, here’s a message to Israelis: Nothing will change until YOU change. You’re…
Bombing Hamas command posts is not like 9/11
August 23, 2014
Today the Israeli Air Force bombed a twelve-story apartment building in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City. The building—named “Zafir 4″—collapsed. In a completely obscene attempt at historical revisionism, Palestinians are calling this “Gaza’s 9/11.” In reality the IDF is bombing Hamas command posts; this was one such installation. The Palestinians say that seventeen…
