The video clip showing apparent firing from an annex to the hospital was actually shot during Israel's 2008-09 "Operation Cast Lead," and the audio clip accompanying it was from an incident unrelated to Al Wafa. (Screengrab: The Times of Israel) A video distributed by the Israeli military in...

SPECIAL REPORT: A row is brewing over claims that Israel is earning millions of euros from a de facto policy of preventing non-Israeli reconstruction aid from entering the Gaza Strip. At least 65,000 people in the Gaza Strip are homeless after the recent seven-week conflict. Infrastructure...

In the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, Aug. 1, 2014 is known as Black Friday. This was the day the Israeli military bombarded the city with almost every mode of destruction available to it, from F-16 missiles to Apache rockets to naval shelling to drone strikes and mortars. Bulldozers...

That he was refused entry into Israel proves nothing. Not even the reason for the refusal we have, after all, and it's known that Israel has denied entry to people who are undoubtedly Jewish for spurious reasons. Ask Barbra Streisand's cousin, for example. What matters is that this guy was...

Federico Leonelli, 35, was shot outside a gated house in Rome on Sunday morning, after allegedly beheading 38-year-old Oksana Martseniuk. Homeowner Giovanni Ciallella has now said that his guest Leonelli was obsessed with “the military world” and wanted to fight in Gaza alongside the Israeli...

The new school year started four days ago in the occupied West Bank, and Israeli soldiers have fired tear gas and hurled stun grenades at Palestinian elementary school students on at least two occasions already. In the Nablus-area village of Burin, which is surrounded by illegal Jewish-only...

The cycle of violence that has engulfed the Gaza Strip since Israel's unilateral disengagement in 2005 is repetitive, predictable, and profoundly depressing. In the last six years Israel has launched three major military offensives on this tiny, isolated, desperately poor, and densely-populated...

A segment of the Ashkenazi population - the recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union - are thought to be that way: more right-wing, more warmongering, more opposed to compromise in the name of peace, than the population as a whole. But in general lines, things are as I described to...

Yes, that's correct. I read a book by a Mizrahi journalist, Rachel Shabi, and even though she herself is a left-winger, she agreed that, in Israel, when you describe someone as "leftist", there's a silent implication that the person is Ashkenazi. And though she wanted her book to refute some...

It was like @Hazzy997 said once - the IDF just got afraid of further on-ground confrontation and got into desperate-mad-dog mode.

Nope, it’s not The Onion. A few days ago some 300 Holocaust survivors placed an ad in the New York Timescondemning the massacre in Gaza. My colleague from Local Call, John Brown, has selected a few of the responses on Facebook that Israelis posted in response to the ad. I’ve translated a few...

That, or the Israelis themselves fired the rocket.

I had a thread about this today, too. The author points out the following passage on a Haaretz article: In the past, more than 30 years ago, there were military and diplomatic Israeli officials who were not averse to staging an incident in order to have an excuse to respond to it, with a...

by RICHARD SILVERSTEIN on AUGUST 23, 2014 Former Israeli attorney general, Michael Ben Yair, confirms IDF false flag operation leading to Deif assassination You’ll recall a few days ago I posted a tantalizing clue from Haaretz’ Amir Oren which noted that thirty years ago Israel fabricated an...

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Bomb disposal experts in Gaza on Friday said that Israel had dropped the equivalent of six nuclear bombs on the tiny coastal enclave over the course of it's six-week assault, including many that the police say are internationally banned. The explosives' engineering police...

Venezuelan ambassador to Egypt, Juan Antonio Hernandez, said Wednesday that an Israeli aircraft attacked the Venezuelan humanitarian delegation in Rafah along the border post between Egypt and Palestine. The delegation was delivering twelve tons of aid to the Palestinian people. No one was...
