This is my third straight day trying to write a post on Palestinian female combatants. I’m now going to put off the post until Sunday night or Monday. It’s simply not yet possible to paint a clear picture of what happened. To show you why we can’t trust Palestinian casualty figures and why I’m having…
Never trust Wikipedia
March 16, 2015
Today several people asked me to look at a Danish video showing an aerial view of the destruction in Shijaiyah, a neighborhood of Gaza City. The footage is edited to make it seem as though the entire area was flattened, but the damage was actually confined to two small areas. Just for fun I looked…
The massacre that never was
March 14, 2015
Looking over some photos of two dead Palestinian twins led me on a search through Websites. The ones in English are fraudulent, while those in Arabic are honest. The al-Skafi family were not killed in an Israeli massacre. It’s another blood libel. We begin with Beyond the Number and its entry for Sa’ad Akram al-Skafi,…
The world will not burn while Nero fiddles
March 6, 2015
“Necessity is the mother of invention.” A truer epigram was never coined. While the American Nero fiddles, the Middle East is gearing up to solving its problems.

The Hamas operational team, Gaza beach
October 19, 2014
I thought it might be useful for you to be given some context to the Hamas operational team that went into action on the Gaza beach, July 16, 2014. My goal is to help you understand that Israel is fighting a sophisticated enemy who makes up for his weakness in firepower by exploiting the media…
The bombing of the al-Ghoul house in Rafah
August 5, 2014
On August 3, 2014, the Israeli Defense Forces bombed the al-Ghoul house in Rafah, Gaza. We’re told that ten people were killed. In response to this bombing, journalist Asmaa al-Ghoul has written “Never Ask Me About Peace Again,” a deeply dishonest attempt to mislead the world into thinking that Israel simply murdered a harmless family…
