A lot of people are suspicious that the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen might turn against Israel. I don’t think that will happen. Before I explain why, let me say that I’m not critical of people who don’t trust the Coalition. When I began defending Israel in June of 2014, I was assaulted…
A book for morons and Jew-haters
July 29, 2015
I won’t be buying Max Blumenthal’s The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza. It’s a book for cretinous Jew-haters too stupid and passive to think for themselves. Still, it’s fun to debunk the claims that Blumenthal makes. Full disclosure: He once singled me out on Twitter for some reason. A “truther” is someone…
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…
No, it’s not speculation
September 1, 2014
Today an Israeli guy on Twitter said he doesn’t read my Pallywood posts because they’re just speculation presented as fact checking. Both points are incorrect. First of all, I’m not a fact checker. I’m a blogger and failed author. The notion of presenting myself as a fact checker cracks me up. Coverage of Israel is…
Another fake Palestinian sniper video
August 31, 2014
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…
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…
Harsh reality is not like childish fantasy
August 19, 2014
In the past twenty-four hours, I’ve gotten dozens of messages from Jewish Britons, telling me that the fake Gaza sniper video is suddenly coming up over and over in the UK. British Jews are being called murderers. Does that make sense on any level? Am I now allowed to call all Arab-Americans in Detroit murderers…
