I had a suspicion. Sadly, it was confirmed. I can’t say that I’m surprised. The evidence has indicated that too many American politicians and military leaders are unable to see the big picture and how they fit into it. Egos get in the way. Unable to be honest When I began defending Israel in 2014,…
Stupid is the new smart
October 30, 2015
Today the IDF tweeted a photo of Israeli soldiers tying to save the life of a Palestinian who’d gone all stabby and had to be shot. In response, someone posted a link to a Website. Maybe my new medication has robbed me of my inhibitions, but I had to write about this because I’m sick…
Comeuppance
July 14, 2015
Looking at the news today, I haven’t seen anybody say that Israel is going to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Instead, all I’m reading is doom-crying. Maybe people just don’t know what’s real and what isn’t, but Iran is going to get its comeuppance. You can quote me. President Obama said recently that you…
Nobody actually believes this garbage
January 21, 2015
I was asked to comment on a stinking pile of garbage. Israeli soldier gives 74-year old Palestinian woman water then shoots her in the head During the Israeli bombardment and shelling of the Gaza Strip last summer, an Israeli soldier approached a 74-year-old Palestinian woman Ghalya Abu-Rida to give her a sip of water. He…
The great irony of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
December 28, 2014
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…
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…
