Boy, the crap has hit the fan! First I was interviewed by Ali Gharib of the Nation Institute about my Pallywood posts, and then I learned that David Frum of The Atlantic had tweeted about them, and then I found an uncredited article by BagNews(?) excoriating Frum and me. You can excoriate me. Ali Ghraib…
Do fake victories really count?
July 28, 2014
Yesterday Hamas claimed it had inflicted massive losses on the Israeli Defense Forces. What the Japanese and Germans learned in World War II and the Arabs learned during Operation Iraqi Freedom, claiming fake victories just ends up biting you in the rear end.

July 27, 2014

A fake atrocity video from Gaza
July 21, 2014
Hooray for Pallywood! If you’re unfamiliar with the term, Pallywood refers to the fraudulent videos that the Palestinians and their supporters put out to try and convince the world that Israel is the new Third Reich.
