W.’s parting gift to Israel
I’m quite sure President Bush is feeling guilty that he allowed State to pressure Ariel Sharon into giving up the Philadelphi corridor, which allowed Hamas to import thousands of tons of weapons and arms, and which greatly contributed to the … Continue reading
One more Gaza update for the evening
Dawn is a couple of hours away in Israel. I’m going to let the Israeli bloggers take it away. Spanish FM sides with Palestinians: Shocked, shocked I am. Go click on this link to see how shocked I really am. … Continue reading
Gaza objective defined: Rocket launch sites
The ground operation’s objective is the rocket launching sites Hamas has created throughout Gaza. And the headline is the only part of that Ynet story that expounds upon that objective. Bad headline writer! Bad! Well, anyway: IDF ground troops entered … Continue reading
Gaza update 7.5
Over at Jack’s place. I am taking a break. My traffic has quadrupled today. Frankly, I’d rather it quadrupled because I won the lottery or something like that. This, not so much. And by the way, God bless John Bolton. … Continue reading
The CNN take
After watching Christiane Amanpour on and off for the past few hours, as well as the people she’s interviewed (fellow CNN reporters too), the CNN position is clear: Israel is bombing a densely-populated civilian area, and no matter what else … Continue reading
Tim Butcher, making stuff up
Tim Butcher had what is now an absolutely side-splittingly wrong article in the Telegraph today. Amid speculation of an imminent ground assault, the Israeli cabinet deliberated late into Friday night before reaching a consensus to prolong the air campaign rather … Continue reading
Gaza update 2
A request for Hamas: Please do. Hamas operatives threatened Israel and said that “the Zionist enemy will pay a heavy price for its ground incursion.” The statement from the group said, “Our men will fight until the last drop of … Continue reading
Updating the Gaza war
We can stop calling it an “operation” now, I think. Hamas has 15,000 fighters, many of them trained in Iran, or by Iranian Revolutionary Guards, waiting for the Israeli ground troops. Who are now inside Gaza. Omri has some awesome … Continue reading
The battle for Gaza: A history
Read the entire thing, but here’s an excerpt: The first and most important consquence of Israel’s military victories was the peace agreement with Egypt. It was the Egyptian army more than any other which posed an existential threat to Israel’s … Continue reading
The ground war begins
It’s begun. For the first time since the operation in Gaza got underway, IDF artillery cannons started to shell targets in the Strip Saturday, witnesses on both sides of the border said, heralding a possible escalation to a new tactic … Continue reading
Hamas leader: Rayyan the brute
The estimable Khaled Abu Toameh profiles the Hamas leader who was killed by Israeli bombs yesterday. Looks like the man responsible for throwing Fatah members off Gaza buildings is the one that was killed by dropping a building on him. … Continue reading
Jack’s Gaza update 5.5
It’s here. Soccer Dad and I can’t do it all ourselves, you know.
Signs of the times: Praying from bomb shelters
Saturday is probably going to be a heavy rocket day. Israel’s Homefront Command realizes this, and is advising Jews to attend only fortified synagogues. Rockets also landed throughout the evening in Ashkelon, Beersheba, and the Gaza vicinity communities, and the … Continue reading
To my new visitors
My traffic is up tremendously, and it’s not just via referrers. People have found my blog and bookmarked it, or are emailing articles to their friends. Some of you have doubtless been surprised by the tone, some maybe even shocked. … Continue reading
Famous last words
Israel got a top Hamasnik (and watch for the screaming about his wives and daughters, who refused to leave the house after being warned a Hellfire missile was on its way). These are pretty fitting last words: Wednesday saw Rayyan … Continue reading
