Israel’s reconciliation process with Turkey has taken an enormous hit as the war in the Gaza Strip escalates. In the last few days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described Hamas as a “liberation organization,” accused Israel of being a “war criminal” state, and cancelled his forthcoming visit to Jerusalem. In harshly condemning Israel for […]
Three weeks after Hamas terrorists murdered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel in the most audacious and devastating terrorist attack since Israel’s statehood, the Israeli armed forces have finally stormed into the Gaza Strip. On November 27, Israeli armored columns, supported by air cover, plunged into northern and southern Gaza. The Israeli government has […]
The current humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip can be primarily pinned on Hamas, the rejectionist Palestinian organization whose bands of amoral terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7. In ferociously responding to this massacre, the worst single attack on Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s darkest day since statehood […]
While the Gaza Strip trembles to the sounds of loud explosions, the West Bank smoulders with pent-up emotions of resentment and hatred. Gaza is being reduced to rubble by Israeli air and artillery strikes in retaliation for the murderous onslaught by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on October 7. As Israel ramps up its daily […]
Twenty days into Israel’s border war with Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu still has not accepted unequivocal responsibility for the appalling Israeli breakdowns that enabled hordes of blood- thirsty terrorists to slaughter 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in the greatest single massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

The big unanswered question looming on the horizon following Hamas’ cold-blooded slaughter of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7 is deafeningly obvious. When will the Israeli armed forces invade the Gaza Strip in an attempt to crush Hamas? If Israel should launch a ground invasion, its objectives would be crystal clear: […]
Israel and the United States have warned Hezbollah, Iran’s supreme surrogate in the Middle East, to stay out of the current war pitting the Israeli armed forces against Hamas in and around the Gaza Strip. But for all intents and purposes, the war on the northern front already has begun. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant […]
Since Hamas’ genocidal massacre of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7, and Israel’s fierce counter-attack in the Gaza Strip, some American university professors have come out in fulsome praise of the surprise attack, extolling murder, rape and plunder. This is an astonishing, grave and totally unacceptable development that hardly augurs well […]
