Are 120 hostages, at least some of whom are already dead, really worth Israel playing pattycake with the psychopaths in Hamas? From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading

Hamas really don’t want a ceasefire; they’re still trying for some sort of victory
The psychopath Yahya Sinwar. You can see the crazy in his eyes.
The continual calls for an Israel-Hamas ‘ceasefire’ are ridiculous: Israel’s policy should be a demand for unconditional surrender. That worked for the Allies during World War II, the last war that we actually won.
Top US diplomat says Hamas is moving the goalposts on a cease-fire
Today’s left and their whining about successful Israeli rescue missions No military anywhere strives for a 'fair fight'
My good friend William Teach noted that NBC News decided to take its cue from all of the pro-Palestinian/pro-Hamas Twitter bots out there, weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth that some poor, poor Palestinians were killed during the rescue, blaming a “failure of negotiations.”
âWhat we saw yesterday is actually failure of the negotiations,â Yossi Mekelberg, an associate fellow with the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, said in a phone interview with NBC News.
âHad there been a cease-fire, these hostages would already have been at home, and the civilians that were killed yesterday would be alive,â Mekelberg said.
There was a ceasefire in place, right up through October 6th. Had Hamas not broken that, those hostages would have always been at home, and the civilians killed in the rescue missions would still be alive. Continue reading

Israel recovers three more hostages from Gaza Unfortunately, they were already dead.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Israel Defence Force has recovered three more hostages who were seized by Hamas in the October 7th terrorist attack, and all three were dead. From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading
How interesting that inclusive places like Haverford College allow discrimination against Jews on campus
Haverford College was founded in 1833, as a men’s college, by members of the Religious Society of Friends, more colloquially known as Quakers. According to the school, 98% of the 1,472-member student body live on campus, and the college claims a six-to-one tree to student body ratio. Full disclosure: I did some work on the Haverford campus in the early 2000s.
A liberal arts college, they are most definitely liberal, as they have proudly posted about their student body ‘diversity,’ telling us that the Class of 2027 is 52.5% “identify as people of color”. No mention was made concerning whether Rachel Dolezal was a student. đ
Haverford isn’t cheap, as tuition, fees, and housing for the 2024-25 academic year totals $89,568, though they also say that 49% receive some sort of financial aid, 44% receive outright grants, with the average grant being $62,237.
So, you’d think that Haverford College is an inclusive and welcoming place, right? The college certainly advertises itself that way! Unless, of course, you’re a Jooooo! From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Continue reading
Hamas delendum est Concern for the hostages should not stop Israel from doing what is necessary
My New York Times subscription is less expensive than my subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Yahya Sinwar Helped Start the War in Gaza. Now Heâs Key to Its Endgame.
Hamasâs leader in Gaza is considered an architect of the Oct. 7 attacks that prompted Israel to retaliate. As mediators seek a cease-fire, a deal depends on Mr. Sinwar as well as his Israeli foes.
By Patrick Kingsley, Julian E. Barnes and Adam Rasgon, Reporting from Jerusalem and Washington, the reporters spoke to officials from Hamas, Israel and the United States about Mr. Sinwar. | Mother’s Day, May 12, 2024
After Hamas attacked Israel in October, igniting the war in Gaza, Israeli leaders described the groupâs most senior official in the territory, Yahya Sinwar, as a âdead man walking.â Considering him an architect of the raid, Israel has portrayed Mr. Sinwarâs assassination as a major goal of its devastating counterattack.

Is a Muslim high school teacher using his position to push #AntiSemitism?
Youssef Abdelwahab, from his LinkedIn profile.
Well, now his activities have caught the attention of the Feds.
A Central Bucks teacher and student club are the subject of a federal investigation for alleged antisemitism
The U.S. Department of Educationâs Office for Civil Rights is investigating allegations of antisemitic statements by Central Bucks West teacher Youssef Abdelwahab and a Muslim student club.

Why are there so few pro-#Hamas demonstrations in conservative areas?
I have been checking the Lexington Herald-Leader and the Kentucky Kernel, the UK student newspaper for which I used to write back during the days of quill pens and inkwells, every day, and I have yet to see any reports of pro-Hamas, or pro-Israel, protests of demonstrations on campus or in the city. Yes, that shows that Kentucky students are just plain smarter than those elite and effete Ivy Leaguers, but then it occurred to me: there are very few Jewish students at UK, with Jews being a very small minority in the Bluegrass State as a whole, while the reports of demonstrations at Penn and Hahvahd and Columbia are occurring at schools with significant Jewish populations, and it leads me to think that these demonstrations really are just as much anti-Semitic as they are pro-Palestinian.
