I've constantly railed against the west thinking that mainstream Islam is moderate in any sense used by the West. Jibril Rajoub is the Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee. He's regularly called a "moderate" by apologists in the West. However, as an article on Palestine Media Watch shows, this moderate said ""I swear that if we had a ( Read more... )

Everybody's screaming against or praising in favor of the announcement of a Hamas/Fatah agreement. Both sides act as if there's a huge difference between the two terrorist groups. However, let's compare ( Read more... )

I caught up with an NYT article from a few days ago. I have no idea where it was in the print paper, but I'd guess it was no where near the front page. That, of course, was about Israel's decision to expand housing in Jerusalem. Such evil incitement, 'eh? I read the NYT every day, caught all the articles about Israel and Biden's statement and ( Read more... )

An AFP article gives an example of how warped things are in Israel's region. It's no surprise that an undercover investigator uncovered corruption in the PA, nor is it a surprise that Abbas didn't act on the information ( Read more... )

A Palestinian policeman killed an Israeli soldier. That's right. Not a terrorist, but a "moderate" member of the "moderate" government that claims to want peace with Israel. This isn't the first time. Yet The Pals, the Arabs, Muslims and apologists all claim it's wrong if Israel to demand that any new State be demilitarized with no heavy weapons ( Read more... )

Again, when we talk about "moderate", it should be in context. This time, it's, as the Palestinian Media Watch describes, "the supervisor of the Da'awa [Islamic Indoctrination] of the Egyptian Waqf [Islamic Holy places], has issued a Religious Ruling (Fatwa) that pigs in our time have their origins in Jews who angered Allah, such that He turned ( Read more... )

Hamas faked power outages in Gaza. "Rights" groups claimed Gazans were starving, though they could point to not a single person. All this was blamed on Israel.

In a strange twist, at least one non-Israeli outlet has written a fact-based article. The AP points out how many people have died in Gaza because Hamas and Fatah can't agree on allowing ( Read more... )

It seems that Hamas is "concerned" about its power. The Jpost reports that Hamas has killed at least 35 people, shot 75 in their legs and broken the hands of other Pals during this fight, all because they're members of Fatah.

That's the kind of "freedom" the "peace activists" are trying to protect.

Other than the regular rocket fire aimed at Israeli civilians?

One article talks about a Pal news agency shutting down over Palestinian Authority high handedness. Freedom of the press isn't a good thing even for "moderate" Arabs. Another shows Hamas not allowing Gazans to go on Hajj. They claim Islam is central to everything they do, and Hajj is a ( Read more... )

"9 Dead in Hamas Raid on Pro-Fatah Clan in Gaza", is the headline in the NYT.

"Infighting Escalates in Gaza Strip", shouts the Washington Post.

"Nine killed, 95 hurt in Hamas-Fatah violence in Gaza" is the lead for Reuters ( Read more... )
