Wonderful news: five years after being kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, Gilad Shalit has finally returned home.
Here we go again. The New York branch of Fox News shrieks: Mosque Investor Was Terror Contributor. Except that, uh, he wasn't. An Egyptian who's contributing some money to Park51 once donated money to the Holy Land Foundation -- before 9/11, years before the charity was known to be connected to Hamas, ...

The Reuters “Good, Bad, and Ugly” blog has addressed the cropped photos; they say they were notified by readers, and print several rather blunt emails they received. (Of course, they also became aware of it from LGF almost as soon as I posted about it; my Reuters tracker has recorded ...

The Jerusalem Post reports that the Israeli government has sent an official letter to Reuters CEO Tom Glocer about the photo cropping exposed at LGF: Gov’t disturbed by cropped photos.

Reuters has now published an uncropped version of the image we noted yesterday morning: Photo from Reuters Pictures. Notice the timestamp. As I write, it was published to the wires 6 hours ago. Long after Reuters was caught with the cropped version. So they’re apparently trying now to quietly release the uncropped versions ...

Here we go again. The IHH website which was apparently supplying Reuters with their photos (which someone at Reuters then cropped to remove incriminating evidence of weapons) has now removed all photos from their site, possibly to prevent finding any more cropped images. But Reuters continues to publish photos from the ...

OK, come on now. I mean, really. One picture cropped to remove a knife might be explained as incompetence or a simple mistake. But now we have two pictures from the “peace activists” that were cropped by someone at Reuters to remove knives in the hands of the activists, as they attempted ...

A Turkish newpaper has released photos taken by the “peace activists” aboard the Mavi Marmara, showing them attempting to take injured Israeli soldiers hostage. Here’s one of the pictures; notice the knife held by a “peace activist” in the lower right corner. And here’s the same photo as released by Reuters earlier ...

Here’s the aerial footage released today by the IDF, showing Israeli soldiers boarding the Rachel Corrie and taking control of the vessel. There was no violence and no one was killed or injured. Of course, there was no ambush by violent radical Islamists either. Funny how those two factors seem to ...
The Jerusalem Post has a report that the next ship full of peace activists trying to run Israel’s blockade on Gaza, the Rachel Corrie, has been intercepted and “taken” by the Israeli navy. The website of the Malaysian NGO which is co-sponsoring the Rachel Corrie, reports that the ship was ...
NPR’s All Things Considered had an interesting segment yesterday on the 9 slain Turkish “activists” from the Mavi Marmara. There are new details in here about their backgrounds, and it’s almost comical to listen as reporter Julia Rooke keeps trying throughout the segment to avoid drawing the obvious conclusion that ...
Now the truth is coming out about the Mavi Marmara incident. Apparently, the first four Israeli marines who rappelled onto the ship were savagely beaten and overwhelmed. You can see this taking place in the video released by the IDF. And then, the “peace activists” dragged these four injured soldiers belowdecks and ...
In an interview with Don Imus, Ron Paul calls for the US to abandon Israel, calls Gaza a “concentration camp,” and recites a litany of anti-Israel talking points, including the canard that Israel is starving the people of Gaza. One of the biggest influences on the modern Republican Party sounds just ...

This is the kind of thing Israel needs to do more of, because the raging hypocrisy of the world’s peace activists is very ripe for satire. [Video]
You know that cargo that was so vitally important to deliver to the Palestinian people of Gaza? So important that peace activists put together a flotilla of Turkish ships and tried to run a blockade to get it there as soon as possible, before anyone else suffered and died waiting ...
Apparently, Hamas is having trouble getting Barack Obama to return their calls. Gaza City - Ismail Haniya, the head of the Islamist Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, has written twice to US President Barack Obama but has not received a reply, a Hamas spokesperson said on Sunday. Taher al-Nunu said ...
Britain has expelled an Israeli diplomat said to be a “a senior Mossad official,” as a response to the use of forged British passports by the hit team that assassinated Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. Foreign secretary David Miliband also directly accused Israel of carrying out the killing, saying ...

Here’s a surprise from the Middle East: the son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef spied for Israel for more than ten years. The son of one of Hamas’s founding members was a spy in the service of Israel for more than a decade, helping prevent dozens of Islamist suicide ...
A carefully assembled series of CCTV videos from Dubai shows the mysterious hit team that assassinated Hamas terrorist Mahmoud al Mabhouh, as they arrive in Dubai, don disguises, and move about the city preparing for the operation. (There are three parts in this playlist — hover over the video to see ...
During the 2008 Presidential election one of my main concerns about Barack Obama was that he would take a soft line toward the Hamas terrorist gang. And there were reasons to be concerned; to name just a couple, Obama was closely acquainted with several well-known Palestinian advocates in the US, ...

Israel has been quietly developing an anti-missile system that really works, at least on the small scale — when you have hostile groups living right next door with no compunctions about using missiles to kill people indiscriminately: Israel says tests on Iron Dome missile shield have been a success.

Robert Bernstein, a former chairman of Human Rights Watch, had an extraordinary op-ed in the New York Times yesterday, blasting his former organization for its overwhelming bias against the state of Israel: Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast.

Another eruption of antisemitism from Turkey. JERUSALEM, Oct 15 (Reuters) - A Turkish television drama series which depicts an Israeli soldier shooting dead a Palestinian baby, strained already tense relations on Thursday between Israel and Turkey, a strategic Muslim ally. Previously close ties between the Jewish state and Turkey, a secular ...
