By now many Israelis have heard of the fake death of Salem Shamaly, the young man in the green shirt. He was allegedly shot by an Israeli sniper in Shijaiyah on July 20, 2014. The video of his “shooting” was put out by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). It’s a transparent fraud. Not only was…
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…
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…
The sick, bigoted cult of Hamas sympathizers
August 20, 2014
It’s absolutely clear that the press, “human rights” organizations, and the United Nations are Hamas sympathizers. The evidence is overwhelming. Those who support Hamas are actually cultists, and their cultism is based on dual bigotry. One is their Jew-hate, and the other is the insistence on regarding Palestinians as “indigenous people.” Aboriginals, if you will….
An open letter about Israel to Prime Minister David Cameron
August 16, 2014
Dear Prime Minister Cameron: I’m writing about your threat to cut off twelve British arms export licenses to Israel if hostilities resume. One of my heroes is General William Tecumseh Sherman. He was a very blunt speaker, Prime Minister. What you actually meant is that you’ll cut off arms exports if Israel responds to the…
