It doesn’t matter to the media how badly Hamas was smacked in Operation Cast Lead, or how many top officials they lost, or how many bomb-makers were killed, or how many smuggling tunnels were destroyed. Nope. To the Associated Press, Hamas is even stronger now: Hard-liners strengthened by Gaza war. This ...
Charles Krauthammer gets it exactly right in today’s column, on Barack Obama’s embarrassing interview with Al Arabiya: Obama Distorts America’s Stance on Muslims.

Michael J. Totten points out some simple realities about the intractable Arab-Israel conflict that most of the world spends an enormous amount of energy ignoring: The Mother of All Quagmires.

An Associated Press article extolling the wonderfulness of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) makes a surprising admission about the hatred routinely taught in their schools: UN’s role in Gaza rises among the rubble. In one classroom Saturday, when UNRWA schools reopened, a Palestinian teacher was filmed asking ...

The goons of Hamas have murdered a Palestinian human rights activist for “collaborating” with Israel—and he’s just one of dozens of people they’ve slaughtered since Operation Cast Lead: Hamas executes former B’tselem field worker. A Palestinian human rights activist and journalist who used to work for the Israeli human rights ...
Barack Obama’s first interview since his inauguration went to Al Arabiya, the virulently antisemitic Arab satellite network that regularly broadcasts support for jihad and militant Islam. This is an absolutely horrible precedent, and the implied weakness will surely encourage jihadists worldwide—no matter what Obama thinks he’s “communicating” to them. [Video] This is ...

Apparently, this is what it takes. “I used to support Hamas because they fought for our country, for Palestine,” says Sadala. Hamas stood for a new start, for an end of corruption, which had spread like cancer under the moderate Fatah. In the 2006 elections Hamas won the majority with ...
Denis Maceoin makes some powerful points in this column for the Jerusalem Post: Marching for Hamas.

We’ve written many times about the genocidal, insane Hamas Charter, which includes references to antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; today at PJTV Joe Wurzelbacher, Roger Simon, and Bill Whittle call on Barack Obama to read this appalling document and have Hamas revise it: Joe the Plumber ...

Al Arabiya reporter Hannan al-Masri is live on the air in Gaza when she is told that Hamas has just fired rockets from inside the Al Arabiya studio building, news which apparently strikes her as quite humorous. (Turn on closed captions for English subtitles.) [Video] (Hat tip: Mere Rhetoric.)

More pro-Hamas videos are appearing on YouTube; this one was posted by VoiceOfJihaD and it shows very clearly how Hamas uses children as human shields. At about 1:20, the terrorists appear to be shooting at a helicopter overhead—and they send children into the streets, in the open, to point out ...
