Islamic Arab "Palestine": from plan to glee: increasing Arab casualties. Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it. Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic isolation of Israel, and the greater the political benefit to Hamas. This was not a secret. It was the strategy. The logic is brutally simple: Hamas launches attacks from within densely populated civilian areas, provokes a m...

Modern Arab Palestinian leadership: Palestinian Authority, Nazism and Nazi Collaborators Introduction Controversies surrounding antisemitism, Holocaust distortion, and praise for Nazi collaborators have repeatedly emerged in connection with the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Fatah movement, and senior Palestinian political figures. Critics — including Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and watchdog organizations such as Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) — have documented repeated examples of Holocaust revisionism, praise for Nazi collaborators, and public glorification of figures associated with Nazi Germany. Historical Background: Haj Amin al-Husseini and Nazi Germany A central figure in many controversies is Haj Amin al-Husseini, the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. During World War II, al-Husseini helped in pro-Nazi coup in Iraq before the Farjoud atrocious pogrom on local Jews carried out (which, his and other Palestinian A...

Criticism and Controversies Surrounding Unreliable B’Tselem. Over the years, the Israeli NGO B'Tselem has faced extensive criticism from journalists, politicians, activists, researchers, and advocacy organizations who accuse it of political bias, manipulation of facts, cooperation with anti-Israel campaigns, incitement and reliance on foreign funding. Early Criticism and Media Controversies. A 2008 article in Ynet News titled “Collaborating with the enemy” criticized B’Tselem’s camera distribution project among Palestinians, claiming the organization selectively documented Israeli misconduct while ignoring Palestinian violence. The article described the initiative as part of a “propaganda cooperation with the enemy” and accused activists of orchestrating “photogenic provocations” against Israeli soldiers and settlers. In another Ynet article from 2016, “A wakeup call for the left,” Ben-Dror Yemini pointed out that parts of the Israeli left had shifted from criticizing Israeli polic...

 May 11, 2026. A New York Times opinion column by Nicholas Kristof alleging sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees supposedly by Israeli forces sparked strong backlash from analysts, academics, and former officials. Critics point out the article relied on weak or unverified evidence, particularly claims involving dogs being used in assaults. Some accused Kristof of amplifying propaganda from sources linked to Hamas. Others emphasized that allegations of sexual violence require concrete evidence and careful verification before publication. JPost: While Hamas Sexual Crimes Were Being Documented, the NYT Shifted the Narrative to Propaganda . The timing of the NYT hit-piece by an 'opinion' publication is politically motivated because it appeared just before the release of the Israeli Commission’s report on Hamas sexual violence. Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the NYT of deliberately ignoring evidence of Hamas atrocities while amplifying lies against Israel, “blood libel” that in...

If you had any doubts about the true motivations and malicious agenda behind those promoting the “genocide” narrative, just look at how quickly the same biased and openly anti-Israel Wikipedia editors rushed to create a page framing any challenge to that claim as “denial.” The goal is not honest debate or historical accuracy — it is to delegitimize Israel, silence dissent, and distort the meaning of genocide itself. In many ways, this has become a sophisticated modern form of Holocaust distortion and even indirect Holocaust denial: by trivializing and weaponizing the term “genocide” against the Jewish state, they erode the historical uniqueness and documented reality of the Holocaust while turning its language against its survivors and descendants .

Summaries of Critiques of Gilbert Achcar ### 1. *The dangerous idiots of academia* (2015) David Collier argues that Achcar represents a trend within parts of academia that, in Collier’s view, excuses or minimizes Islamist extremism and antisemitism when framed through anti-imperialist or anti-Zionist politics. The article criticizes Achcar for supporting positions hostile to Israel while overlooking authoritarian or extremist elements within Hamas and related movements. ### 2. Signature on the 2009 boycott letter Critics highlighted Achcar’s support for a boycott letter during the Gaza conflict that argued Israel “must lose” against Hamas. Evidence that Achcar prioritized ideological hostility toward Israel over concerns about [genocidal] Hamas’s ideology, violence, or governance. ### 3. *Politics gets in the way* (Jerusalem Post, 2010) Seth J. Frantzman criticizes Achcar’s *The Arabs and the Holocaust* for downplaying Arab and Islamist antisemitism. Frantzman points out that Achcar fr...
