UPDATE: The verification is almost complete. From the Times of Israel: Channel 12 publishes what it says is a police document showing that one of the identification tests conducted earlier today regarding the body of a dead terrorist, apparently on the basis of photographic dental comparisons, found a “full match” to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

The details of the Mossad operation against Hezbollah is so incredible, you would think it would be implausible as a film plot. They include. All forms of warfare result in some casualties of people who are not military targets. For example 500,000 German civilians died in WWII. But this operation probably saw one of the […]
The greatest intelligence operation in recent history

This article just appeared in Spiked (click headline below to read), but you can see a similar piece in the Times of Israel. The upshot is that the BBC, which has long bridled at using the word “terrorists” for Hamas, is now bridling again when the Beeb itself shows a documentary about the Nova Music […]
The BBC once again won’t use the word “terrorists” for Hamas

Forgive me if I put up two pieces on Israel’s wars today (i’m not sure what I’ll write about next), but it’s not only on my mind, it’s the main news besides the American election. (See the daily “Nooz” for this other stuff). I don’t like to use the words “self-hating Jew,” for I don’t […]

In this short video, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, chief spokesman for the IDF, shows us the conditions under which the six recently-murdered hostages were kept. (Trigger warning: blood.) For some reason I thought the hostages were being kept either in private residences or in rooms off the tunnels, not in the tunnels themselves. When you […]

Tim Walz, the Democratic candidate for US Vice President, made a highly incoherent–even embarrassing–statement in an interview with a media outlet in Michigan. It started off well enough. Well, I think first and foremost what we saw on October 7 was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel. They have certainly, and […]

It’s unbelievable that the bulk of American progressive liberals and academics seems to sympathize with a group of terrorist thugs who not only invaded Israel and killed 1,139 people, many in gruesome ways, including killing women after raping them, but also took 250 hostages of various nationalities, including children, into Gaza to use as bargaining […]

Last year, when I visited Dachau, we had an Irish guide. He was knowledgeable about Dachau, but I disagreed with him on one thing he said. To my own surprise, I didn’t give him a history lesson and decided to let it go because my main purpose there was to gain some understanding of Dachau. […]

After 79 years there is very little new to be uncovered about the atom bombing of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by the USA on August 6 and August 9, 1945 respectively, to end World War II. And yet, somehow, there always is. This 52m video focuses on Hiroshima and the photos that were […]

On August 6, 1945, the world witnessed the devastating power of nuclear warfare for the first time when the United States dropped an atomic bomb, code-named “Little Boy,” on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. This event marked a significant turning point in World War II and had profound implications for international relations, warfare, and ethics. […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
