In the months and weeks leading up to the brutal Hamas assault on Israel October 7th Joe Biden was working feverishly towards normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

For Saudi Arabia a bottom line in those normalized relations a State for the Palestinians alongside Israel. Joe Biden's intent with this trip seems very political the fact that it's publicized in advance a Presidential trip to a War Zone goes against all previous...

On Tuesday’s “Morning Edition,” co-host Michel Martin stated that activists who blamed Israel for the Hamas attacks on it, “highlighted Israel’s ongoing treatment of Palestinians in the generations-old conflict over land” while National Desk Correspondent Brian Mann characterized the “From the river to the sea” chant as one that, “by some interpretations, calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state with borders that could effectively erase Israel from the map.” Martin said that “some Americans also marched in support of Palestinians or issued statements blaming Israel. These activists highlighted Israel’s ongoing treatment of Palestinians in the generations-old conflict over land.”
 

Israel News Blog: Gazan terrorists say “bad weather” launched rockets at Israel, not them.

Lehavdil ^ | 1/2/22 | Ben Kerido
On the morning of January 1st, 2022, Palestinian Arab terrorists in the Gaza Strip ushered in the new year with a barrage of rockets aimed at Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. The Israeli Air Force and IDF artillery teams responded with pin-point precision retaliatory strikes against rocket-launching positions. Hamas, the terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip, claimed that it was recent mildly bad weather, namely a drizzling rain storm, that — somehow, inexplicably — launched the rockets, not human militants. In reality, the Israel Defense Force has claimed that members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist organization allied...

16 March 2015 Israel Election: An End Or New Era For Netanyahu? By Kevin Connolly Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a fourth term, but the outcome is too close to call Israel election: Will outcome revive peace process? The coming week promises to be one of the most eventful and most unpredictable in the long and bumpy political life of Benjamin Netanyahu. The man revered by his supporters as a global statesman and sniffily dismissed by one Israeli newspaper as "former furniture salesman" will know by the end of it if he is to remain prime minister of Israel. He triggered...

IDF soldier guards weapons confiscated from inside a tunnel near Kibbutz Sufa, July 17, 2014. Photo Credit: IDF Spokesperson The IDF has destroyed “the remains” of a terrorist tunnel that led from Gaza into southern Israel, apparently discovered during last summer’s Operation Protective Edge. The tunnel “penetrated into Israel from the Gaza Strip,” the IDF Spokesperson revealed this morning, Feb. 9 in a statement sent by SMS to media. “During the activity, forces discovered a cache of weapons and explosives,” the statement continued. This indicates — at least to this writer — that either the tunnel was not completely destroyed...

Israel has once again reminded us that we should thank our lucky stars that the Jewish state is on our side. In the “What Have You Done For Us Lately” Department, Israel has just completed tests of its new high-power laser system that, installed on a civilian aircraft, can shoot down drones. It promises to be what is called a game-changer. The story of this remarkable advance is here: “Israel successfully downs targets using airborne laser system,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, June 21, 2021: The Defense Ministry has successfully carried out a series of interceptions to shoot down...

Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzachi Hanegbi (Likud) said yesterday in an interview that the new government is willing to return to the negotiation table with the Palestinians. “We would be delighted to renew the negotiations,” Hanegbi said in an interview with the Israel Project. “We believe it is in the interest of both people– the Israeli and the Palestinian– to have a dialogue; to discuss our disputes; to try and find [a] common denominator in the issues that are so crucial to both people.” Hanegbi, a Netanyahu loyalist, also said that the new government will begin an intense...

Pointing out that a Chinese company will soon start operating Haifa Port, he said that Israel needs to create a mechanism that will examine Chinese investments to ensure that they do not put Israel’s security interests at risk. “When China acquires ports,” Horev said, “it does so under the guise of maintaining a trade route from the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal to Europe, such as the port of Piraeus in Greece. Does an economic horizon like this have a security impact? We are not weighing that possibility sufficiently. One of the senior American figures at the conference raised...

Russian officials claim the Israeli Air Force is responsible for a missile strike on a Syrian airbase carried out early Monday, just two days after the Assad regime killed 42 civilians in a chemical gas attack that sparked international outrage. The Russian Defense Ministry told state media that two Israeli F-15 fighter jets fired eight guided missiles at the Tiyas base from Lebanese airspace, while pro-Assad Syrian media reported 20 missiles were fired. Israeli officials refused to comment the strike, which killed 14 military personnel, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Israel previously attacked Tiyas, known as the...

As Israelis grieve the death of more than 1,200 of our fellow citizens, and the wounding of 3,000 more, our country is beginning to shift from defense to offense. Already, the Israeli Air Force is bombing hundreds of terror targets in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the IDF has called up more than 300,000 reservists to serve on the ground. These soldiers are currently preparing, training, equipping and deploying to invade the Gaza Strip and destroy Hamas once and for all. Yet even as Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu and his military planners organize such an invasion, they...

Israel believes Russia's intervention decreases chance of Israel-Hezbollah conflict By YAAKOV LAPPIN 01/26/2016 17:01 Russia’s intervention in Syria and close interaction with Hezbollah may actually decrease the likelihood of an Israel-Hezbollah conflict erupting in the near future, according to IDF assessments. For example, dialogue between Russia and Hezbollah could provide an opportunity to rein in Hezbollah responses to reported Israeli air strikes on weapons-trafficking runs in Syria. The assessments are part of a broader look at Israel’s strategic environment. Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking the survival of a pro-Moscow regime in Syria where he also has an economic interest....

Breitbart ^ | 04/09/2024 | Ian hatchett
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) stated that Hamas may be rejecting deals to release hostages because they don’t want hostages to tell the world how Hamas brutalized them and possibly because “as long as Israel is overreacting, Hamas, who are very unconcerned about civilian casualties, may want this to play out longer” and Hamas knew “Israel would respond and would overrespond” and that has caused people like him to criticize Israel. Co-host John Berman asked, “Senator, you came out against the United States providing offensive weapons to Israel at this point. You said you...

A coalition of 31 student groups at Harvard University that released a statement blaming Israel for terrorist attacks against the country by Hamas doubled down on the statement within hours of issuing it. The coalition, which calls itself the Harvard Palestinian Solidarity Committee, released a statement Saturday and said that the "Israeli regime" was "entirely responsible" for the spate of terrorist attacks over the weekend by members of the terrorist group Hamas. Around 1,400 Israelis and Palestinians have been killed in the attacks. “We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the coalition,...
 

Why does the US support Israel? What benefit does the US get out of this alliance? Originally Answered: Why is Israel receiving tons of aid from the U.S.?

>“Tons of aid”? Please read this before you repeat that statement: Myth: Israel Is the Largest Beneficiary of US Military Aid The aid that Israel does receive has strings attached to it that no other recipient has, such as the requirement that a minimum of 75% of the aid must be spent on US-made equipment. The remaining 25% may be used on non-US-made equipment only with US government approval. (This will increase until the figure is 100% by the end of the period of the current MOU.) US-made equipment that has become obsolete or obsolescent and is to be replaced...
 

Terror in Israel—Why’s the World Media Yawning? That fear of making Israel look “good.”

Frontpage Mag ^ | October 12, 2015 | P. David Hornik
There’s been a terror onslaught here in Israel for the last week and a half. Those of us who bother checking foreign media outlets have noticed that there’s relatively little coverage. This is mainly good, since, of course, coverage of Israel’s conflicts with Palestinians and neighbors tends to be quite hostile to Israel. Still, it raises the question of why interest isn’t greater this time. Those hallowed principles of “If it bleeds, it leads” and “Jews are news” would seem to apply. True, they don’t apply on the scale of last year’s Gaza war, which drew huge coverage. But that...
