Demonstrating For Mass Murder

Featured image Around the world, the ignorant and the downright evil turned out today to celebrate the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 massacres. Across more than 80 U.S. cities, protesters gathered for demonstrations that were largely characterized by explicit support for terror, including the October 7 attack itself. *** Beginning on Monday, October 7, National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) is organizing a “Week of Rage” related to the anniversary, with »

10/7 a year later: An upbeat take

Featured image Our friends at the Washington Free Beacon have posted the upbeat editorial “Oct. 7, A year Later.” Seeking to provide additional commentary and perspective on the day, I asked the editors (via my daughter Eliana) for permission to publish it on Power Line. The text is below the break. * * * * * Israelis awoke to a country safer and more secure today, a year after Jews around the »

A Separate Peace?

Featured image Biden administration officials have leaked to NBC News that they are considering making a separate peace with Hamas in exchange for the terrorists’ American hostages: Biden administration officials have discussed potentially negotiating a unilateral deal with Hamas to secure the release of five Americans being held hostage in Gaza if current cease-fire talks involving Israel fail, according to two current senior U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials.

The Evil of Hamas

Featured image This video was released today. It has several segments, all apparently shot by Hamas fighters on October 7. It shows five kidnapped Israeli women, all ages 18 or 19 and all serving in the IDF. I am not certain of the provenance of the video; I believe that it was recovered, either entire or in pieces, by the IDF from Hamas fighters. pic.twitter.com/LX2XLmdR0K *Trigger Warning * ⚠️⚠️⚠️ – The Face »

Truth and Consequences

Featured image This is from Britain’s Telegraph, but I think we would see similar numbers in other countries, and worse in some: Only one in four British Muslims believe that Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on Oct 7, a major report has found. The numbers are even worse for “educated” Muslims: Younger and well-educated Muslims were the most likely to think Hamas did not commit atrocities on Oct 7, with »

Gazans for Hamas

Featured image We are often told, by Joe Biden and his minions among others, that Hamas doesn’t really represent Gaza. Hamas is a murderous, terrorist organization, but Gazans are innocent, put-upon civilians. For example: That is the party line, but those who saw video footage of delirious crowds of Gazans celebrating as Israeli captives and bodies were paraded through Gaza’s cities wondered how innocent those civilians actually are. These poll data, from »

Forget the Two-State “Solution”

Featured image For several decades now, the Western Left has been devoted to an imaginary “two-state solution” to the problem that Muslim fanatics keep trying to kill the Jews. Somehow, the problem and the alleged solution don’t seem to match up. Nevertheless, liberals in both the U.S. and Western Europe have recently been returning to the two-state fantasy. In Britain’s Telegraph, John Bolton argues: “The two-state solution is dead. Israel must achieve »

What Happened on October 7

Featured image I am generally contemptuous of the New York Times, but it deserves credit for this article on the violence against Israeli women and girls that was perpetrated by Gaza on October 7. The article is long and chilling. Organized gang rape, mutilation and murder were obviously features of the Gazans’ strategy. The evidence described by the Times is sickening; I credit a left-wing outlet for being willing to describe unflinchingly »
