That explains everything! Because usually they blame natural causes. In January 2022, two rockets were fired from Gaza towards central Israel, terror groups blamed "the weather." In November, 2020, two rockets were shot towards southern Israel, and Hamas blamed "lightning." In October 2018, two other rockets were shot at Israel, one damaging a house in Beersheva with the other landing off the coast of Tel Aviv, and lightning was blamed then. The IDF seemed to accept that explanation. I'm just wondering if other devices just go off by themselves in Gaza regularly. Do their toasters mysteriously start themselves? Their motorbikes? Do taxis self-drive at night after a lightning storm? Or is it more likely that some Islamic Jihad member on Sunday decided that shooting...Read More Collection of the best EoZ "Nakba Day" articles noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 May 02:30 PM The definition of "nakba" depends on the audience"Nakba" didn't originally mean what Arabs say it meansThe Nakba Obsession (Sol Stern)Happy Nakba!

There is another common factor. Islamic Jihad in Gaza is an Iranian proxy terrorist group, funded and directed from Tehran. Iran's hand is behind this conflict.... I do not recall any Western government or international body suggesting moral equivalence between the aggressor and the defender in the Ukraine war, but that is exactly what we have seen repeatedly in this and previous conflicts between Israel and Gaza with the UN Secretary General calling on "both sides" to exercise restraint. Unlike the immediate condemnation of Russian violence, we have seen only silence in the US and Europe since Islamic Jihad's rockets began to fall on Israel. The best we have heard from the White House is that "Israel has the right to protect itself", a statement of the blindingly obvious. None of this is good enough when what is needed is the strongest support for Israel and the most blunt condemnation of Islamic Jihad, along the lines we see over the Ukraine war. The usual media suspects, such as the BBC and CNN, both cheerleaders for Ukraine's defensive operations, have predictably been doing their best to slant their...Read More UN And EU Join In Urging Terrorists To Please Target Fewer Unarmed Civilians (Daled Amos) noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 May 10:00 AM By Daled Amos The UN really put its foot down this time! On May 10, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres issued a statement condemning "the latest security developments in Gaza" -- not "the attack by terrorists," and not "the conflict." Just "the latest security developments in Gaza." He began, naturally, by condemning Israel: The Secretary-General condemns the civilian loss of life, including that of children and women, which he views as unacceptable and must stop immediately. Israel must abide by its obligations under international humanitarian law, including the proportional use of force and taking all feasible precautions to spare civilians and civilian objects in the conduct of military operations. The implication is that Israel is not being careful, and that if Israel really was being careful, no civilians would be injured at all -- conveniently side-stepping the issue of terrorists using human shields, a detail which Guterres does not mention at all. He then addresses the terrorists afterwards, as if they are merely retaliating:The Secretary-General also condemns the indiscriminate launching of rockets from Gaza into Israel, which violates international humanitarian law and puts at risk both Palestinian and : Israeli civilians.It's nice of him to mention that the terrorists are firing rockets randomly into Israel, but Guterres does not condemn PIJ by name at all. Apparently, he is holding the rockets...Read More Islamic Jihad's "victory:" They killed 6 civilians - five of whom were Palestinian, three of them children noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 May 07:00 AM Islamic Jihad media is reporting that this morning, Gazans are waking up to the "euphoria of victory" even though they admit they suffered "painful losses" as many of their leaders were "martyred."
