Jihad Featured Gaza “protests”: the Western mind desperate for a fantasy Do we want to save the hostages, for which we need resolute firmness, an iron wall, or do we want to spoil our case by getting distracted with Palestinian theatre, our pretext for more negotiations?
Jihad Featured Changing perceptions of Islam, Part 4: "Hassan Nasrallah’s children: During His Final Days, Our Father Was Depressed" The Iranian regime is forced to accept it lacks the means to intimidate Israel, and to order an invincible force to stand down has to be extremely carefully handled. The members of such a force would question the motives of a Supreme Leader who capitulates. Shari'a takes a dim view of such things.
Islam Featured Peace be upon the least deserving; and how he was created Limiting the damage of all critical exposures of their prophet is a battle they can only lose. The ferocity of the Charlie Hebdo massacre attests to the damage the Muslim psyche suffered in the ridicule of Muhammad and the depth of Muslim frustration at the relentless torrent of “lies”.
Jihad Featured Propaganda-averse Israel losing psychological war “It’s not a coincidence” that the hostage releases and recordings shared by Hamas of hostages “are done on a Saturday”, Schleifer said. “First, to humiliate Israel. Second, it provides material for media coverage of the Saturday night demonstrations of the hostage families.”
Jihad Featured Western liberals, the parade of the coffins gave you a second chance you do not deserve. I offer no apology. These were not just murders; they were debasements, degradations, humiliations. This is how Muslims understand victory. Nothing I write here can remotely approach the deeds that my words describe. I hope you find what you read shocking, revolting, sickening. Good.
Jihad Featured In Hamas's eyes: whichever side humiliates the other wins To understand them, it is useless to start from us. To understand them, we need to start from them. A Palestinian state, something that only the Jews ever wanted, the Palestinians can no longer dangle as a carrot before them.
Israel Featured Herzi Halevi, the top brass and the "Palestinian state" agenda, Part 1 “We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies. We want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies.” — Ehud Olmert, March 2006.
Jihad Featured The 1701 double-scam Just because something is not implemented, does not mean that it is worth implementing. Resolution 1701 is a fraud shielded behind the fraud of its non-implementation. Ehud Olmert pulled the first scam; the Biden regime is pulling the second. The victims of this double-scam are the Israeli people.
Propaganda Featured The ICC attacks, J Street demands capitulation, others call for escalation dominance Instead of the old hasbara approach of explaining why the Prime Minister is not guilty of war crimes, Dr Lerner and several politicians urge for the exact opposite approach: using the ICC's move to dominate its escalation. Dr Lerner's intervention is enormously encouraging.
Jihad Featured Hasbara does it again! Squandering the propaganda value of Sinwar's killing His final act on this earth was to give Israel the perfect transition from the sadness of 7 October to the joy of Simchat Torah, cancelling out his own life. Israel can capitalise on this fortuitous timing: assert the superiority of Judaism over Islam with another Biblical feat on Simchat Torah.
Propaganda Featured Open Letter to the Jewish Community at Cornell University* You would be Muslim or Christian today, if your forefathers hadn't valued their dignity and self-respect. I assure you that most Israeli universities offer experiences as rich and intense as any Ivy League campus—at a fraction of the cost that burdens you and your parents.
Jihad Featured Israel vs Iran: The targets no one is talking about, Part 2 First a brutal Arab Sunni dictator, then a ruthless Arab Shi'a tyrant, followed by a brutal Iranian Shi'a dictator. Diverse, yes, but they had one aim, to destroy Israel with the ultimate weapon, and a common ideology, Islam.
Jihad Featured Israel vs Iran: The targets no one is talking about, Part 1 Qom is where Shari'a is turned into state policy, where the nuts and bolts of the totalitarian terror state are dreamt up, and where the bureaucracy that codifies the legal enforcement of Islamic oppression is trained. The evil that kills so many springs not from Tehran, but from Qom.
Jihad Featured War did in 10 days what hasbara failed to do in 100 years: Arabs chant "Am Israel chai!" With both the Arab world and his nation behind him like never before, Prime Minister Netanyahu can capitalise on this energy, this momentum. There has never been a better time to apply full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, over Gaza and over Temple Mount, to unite religious and secular.
Judaism Featured Reflections on Tisha B'Av, by a wannabe Jew, Part 1 "The eastern and western winds" obscures a time bomb at the very heart of Zionism, for the descendants of Labour Zionism are ideological, and will not reconcile themselves to the end of exile. Their project all along has been to make a Diaspora out of Israel, and they will never give that up.
Jihad Featured How to speak to Muslims The overwhelming message has to be, "I need nothing from you, because you have nothing to give!" Subtext: Muslims are of no value to the world. This directly negates Qur’an 3:110, that Allah has "raised up" Muslims to be “the best of people,” and also that they are "divinely protected from error".
Jihad Featured Gadi Taub and necessary wars Israel’s war against Iran is as necessary as the Allies’ war against Nazi Germany and Kokka-Shinto Japan to expunge from those nations their barbaric ideologies. Anyone other than Jews defeating Islam in Iran, while Islam is in crisis, will not have the effect.
Jihad Featured Q: When is it wrong to rid the world of two major terrorists? A: When Israel does it. They started out desperate for "moderate Muslims," now they are desperate for "moderate terrorists."
Israel Featured Netanyahu's address to the Joint Houses of Congress, 25 July 2024, in context. Part 1 Netanyahu might have added that history shows, over and over again, that no sooner have totalitarians and fascists seized power, than they put their useful idiots up against a wall, and shoot them.
Fourth of July Featured 4 July in the Land of the Free, the Mother of Parliaments and the Only Democracy in the ME, Part 4 7 October defines our lifetimes. We were alive when it happened. Our children and grandchildren are fully entitled to interrogate us about were we stood on this matter, even whether we were complicit.
Fourth of July Featured 4 July in the Land of the Free, the Mother of Parliaments and the Only Democracy in the ME, Part 3 "The only democracy in the Middle East" can only be called a democracy in the Middle East. Elsewhere, it might be called something else.
Apostasy Featured Every single Muslim is responsible. Part 1 "Nothing will ever be able to take back this moment of triumph. This moment of humiliation on behalf of the Zionist entity. Nothing. Ever!"
Jihad Featured The day after and its contexts* The Israeli government risks tensions and conflicts with its Western allies, but like Golda Meir of old, it believes that it is better to be alive and detested than dead and admired.
