What to do about Hamas-reported deaths in Gaza? CNN’s answer—launder the questionable figures through the Palestinian Authority.
Such reform is a contentious issue in Israel and the diaspora, which underscores why it should be discussed rationally and soberly, without hyperbolic and potentially dangerous charges.
Anti-Semitism cannot be rolled back and overcome without an honest look at why it exists and why it is growing.
It appears that in the latest round of fighting, half of all Gaza deaths were the fault of Islamic Jihad, not Israel.
Because the organization is determined to denigrate and delegitimize the Jewish state, its only choice is to misrepresent facts, laws and definitions.
The organization’s report on alleged Israel war crimes in Gaza, like its other work on Israel, is fatally compromised by its malignant hatred for the Jewish state.
Hamas aims to take out as many Israeli civilians as possible, but it often misfires—some 680 rockets fell short and fatally landed in Gaza instead.
