Hamas Fires On American-Built Pier For Humanitarian Aid
The Americans have begun to build their “humanitarian aid” floating pier in Gaza, designed to bring more aid much faster to Gazans in need. Israel, of course, welcomes the move, for it wants that aid to come in as fast as possible, and without having to run the gauntlet of Hamas operatives stealing aid for […]
More Bad News from Iran on the Weapons Front
No, this time it is not some advance by those endlessly inventive Israeli weapons scientists. The long-awaited Iron Beam, a laser-based anti-missile defense from Israel, which will cost only $2 for each strike, will not be ready until 2025.

Old Fish and Jon Stewart Beat Up On Israel
I call Christiane Amanpour an “Old Fish” because that is what alumnae of New Hall, a Catholic girls’ school in Chelmsford, England, call themselves. I know this because several of my relatives attended that school a few years ahead of Amanpour. And that’s exactly what Amanpour, with her special house blend of arrogance and ignorance […]
