Establishment media uncritically reports Hamas’ sanitized version of violent Gaza border protests
By Robert Spencer on May 14, 2018 07:36 pm

Hamas “has escalated the premeditated, openly violent campaign,” while the establishment media “hypes Hamas-provided casualty counts and portrays the Gaza rioters as peaceful protesters frustrated that there is no Palestinian state and angry that the U.S. moved its embassy to Jerusalem. In doing so, the news media are actually advancing Hamas’s cause.” One thing about […]

Video: Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Trump delivers
By Robert Spencer on May 14, 2018 12:18 pm

Why did Clinton, Bush and Obama promise and not deliver? Because they were convinced by “foreign policy experts” that if they moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, “Palestinians” and other Muslims would riot and murder innocent people. They were bowing to naked intimidation, which only encourages and enables those who are doing the intimidating. President […]

By Robert Spencer on May 14, 2018 09:52 am

American officials have always counseled appeasement in the face of this intimidation: give the jihadis what they want, and maybe they won’t hurt us. That course of action, however, only encourages more intimidation. President Trump is right to call a halt to such appeasement, and to stand strong. “Al-Qaeda Terrorist Leader Calls for Jihad Against […]
