Aron Lund The New Humanitarian, Dec. 7, 2023 “… the most significant Gaza-related escalation in Syria involves neither Israel nor Hamas, but Iraq. Since 17 October, a new group that calls itself “the Islamic Resistance in Iraq” has fired at US bases in eastern Syria dozens of times. The group, which appears to be a front for several Iran-backed […]

HAMAS IS ISIS Israel Security Chief in Letter to the World: ‘Do Not Interfere’: Ben Caspit/Maariv, Jerusalem Post, Dec. 12, 2023 — Last month, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Ronan Bar addressed a long and poignant letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in which he wrote, among other things: “We are determined to complete our mission in Gaza. […]
Hanan Greenwood Israel Hayom, Dec. 10, 2023 “Our encounters are mainly on the routes and mainly during the day because they’re afraid to come out at night. They’re firing RPGs from the alleyways or operating explosives and escaping. Dozens of missiles have been fired in our direction, but the vehicles are moving and most of […]
Colonel Richard Kemp The Telegraph, Dec. 11, 2023 “Wisely, the Israelis took little heed of American and British military experts that urged restraint, advising the IDF not to invade with armoured divisions but instead rely on special forces raids as they themselves had done in Iraq and Afghanistan. That didn’t work there and it wouldn’t […]
Francis R. Sempa Real Clear Defense, Dec. 11, 2023 “You’ve got to kill people, and when you’ve killed enough they stop fighting.” Writing in Responsible Statecraft, the online journal of the Quincy Institute, David C. Hendrickson argues that Israel’s proclaimed war aim of destroying Hamas should be reconsidered because there is no way to “humanely” destroy Hamas. […]

Andrew C. McCarthy National Review, Nov. 25, 2023 “The Brotherhood is a movement that sprang from universities and has always catalyzed campus radicalism.” After the jihadist barbarities of October 7, Israel responded with aerial bombardments of Hamas havens in Gaza, in preparation for the now-ongoing ground invasion. As the bombs fell, Hamas heavyweight Mousa Abu […]
Penny Pance Washington Times, Nov. 28, 2023 “This antisemitic mindset apparently never left the halls of academia. In the U.S. today, racists are now running the universities, implementing diversity, equity and inclusion programs that have reinforced hate not based on inclusion but on anti-colonialism. These DEI officers blame Whites for colonizing the Americas, and they blame Israel for […]

Yoel Guzansky Jerusalem Post, Nov. 1, 2023 “Israel will need to take direct action, and through the United States, disrupt the relationship between Hamas and Qatar, and the Qatari motivation to fund the organization. Qatar is very sensitive to its international image and status, and it can be targeted by linking it to Hamas and […]
Rep. Jack Bergman Washington Times, Oct. 16, 2023 “… why should we enlist Qatar to negotiate with mass murderers when it could just as easily arrest them? Negotiations are about leverage. If Hamas leaders are negotiating from penthouse suites in Doha, far from Israel’s necessary acts of self-defense in Gaza, they have no incentive to end the carnage and release […]
Richard Goldberg WSJ, Oct. 31, 2023 “With America’s apparent blessing, Qatar continues to act as if it’s Oct. 6: It has kept Hamas’s office in Doha open and on Oct. 14 hosted a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.” More than three weeks after the Oct. 7 atrocities, Qatar still plays host […]
