For too long the media and international community have been preaching that "Palestinians" bear no responsibility for the consequences of their decisions and they are passive victims of the conflict.
Value of IS: It enables people to see the place to which all other Islamist fascism is headed.
By Steven Plaut
The real enemy of Israel is not Arab fascism but Jewish leftism.

Hamas rejects latest ceasefire proposal while Islamic Jihad says a truce is imminent. Rocket fire resumes at dawn.
Signs that Islamic State (ISIS - Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) terrorists have arrived in Egypt have appeared in the Sinai Peninsula.
Which will come first, truce talks Saturday night or a rocket launch from Gaza for which Hamas will say, “Huh? Us?”

Following the Israeli negotiators' decision to not continue to negotiate with Hamas while Israel is under fire, Islamic Jihad spokesperson, Daoud Shihab, said that Islamic Jihad will ensure that life won't return to normal for Israel's Gaza border communities until Israel complies with Hamas's demands, according to a Galei Tzahal report.

End of PA unity? Fatah leader slams Hamas, says even Islamic Jihad wanted to accept Egyptian ceasefire deal
Netanyahu criticized Israeli-Arab leadership, that unlike Israeli-Arab citizens, and even Abu Mazen, they haven't condemned the kidnapping.
The IDF arrested 80 wanted terrorists overnight as the search continues for the kidnapped boys. Almost all those who were arrested are members of Hamas in Judea and Samaria, and some are from Islamic Jihad.
Islamic Jihad prisoners tried to escape from Shateh prison near Beit Shean via a tunnel they dug. Just like in the movies.

The IDF held its fire after a couple of post-ceasefire attacks, but enough is enough.
Hamas is a big loser in the latest mini-war in which it apparently was a guilty bystander.
Another ceasefire leaves Islamic Jihad with lots of good PR and Israel with a finger on the trigger.

Hiding in his underground rat hole, an Islamic Jihad terrorist threatens Israel.
Wednesday night’s retaliation leaves Hamas in a smaller corner of survival.
The IDF’s initial response was to stop the rocket fire, and the next step of retaliation has yet to begin.
Either Hamas is trigger-happy again or has lost all control of Islamic Jihad terrorists
Three Hamas terrorists were killed on Tuesday in an explosion that was “all part of a day’s work” of preparing rockets and bombs for attacks on Israel. The Hamas website reported that the “work accident” killed three members of the “military branch” of Hamas in Beit Hanoun, located in northern Gaza. Earlier on Tuesday, the […]

The Obama administration has designated Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s deputy secretary general Ziyad al-Nakhalah as a terrorist, the U.S. State Dept. announced. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the Dec. 22 bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv in which quick thinking by two passengers and the bus driver prevented a mass casually disaster. “Ziyad has […]
Hamas, Islamic Jihad and brethren may be able to blow up the “peace talks” with a bit more war.
Terrorists from Hamas-ruled Gaza attacked southern Israel again Sunday morning with two more rockets that exploded in open areas and caused no damage or injuries. Military officials said last week that Israel will not allow a return to the days of “tit-for-tat” retaliation, with Hamas and other terrorists launching a couple of rockets a day […]
Hamas probably is not responsible for the recent escalation of missile attacks on Israel and may even be trying to prevent them. However, it still will be the target of retaliation, a senior Israeli military officer told Reuters Thursday. The officer, who was quoted on the basis of anonymity, said rival terrorist groups, smaller than […]

Israel’s Supreme Court has given Justice Minister Tzipi Livni one week to respond to a lawsuit by an Israeli NGO representing victims of Palestinian terror victims in a case against the Bank of China. On Tuesday, the court put its time mandate on Livni hours after the Shurat HaDin-Israel Law Center filed a suit requesting […]
Hamas claims an Islamic Jihad terrorist was killed in Gaza, but since the IDF said it did not carry out any counter-terrorist operations, either the story is phony or he died while working with explosives. Hamas’ Health Ministry said that Mohammed al-Lila was killed in a drone attack on Gaza City. Islamic Jihad confirmed one […]
The Islamic Jihad terrorist moment has infiltrated into the heart of Israel and was involved in last month’s Bat Yam bus bombing near Tel Aviv.

The IDF on Wednesday shot and killed two Palestinian Authority Arabs, one of them who was on the payroll of the PA security forces, after they shot at soldiers trying to arrest an […]
The news is not that Gaza terrorists shelled Israel with mortars. The news is the IDF and the government did not comment. Perhaps the IDF will “retaliate” by bombing one tunnel but not enough to halt "peace talks."
Here is the latest jihadist history lesson: Israel killed Yasser Arafat because he refused to sign an agreement at Camp David in 2000. Islamic Jihad leader Mohammed al-Hindi, speaking during a rally in Gaza City, claimed that Arafat was put under siege after returning from the summit, before being poisoned for his unyielding position, the […]
One of the least talked about issues in “peace talks” is security. Kerry “thinks,” pardon the term, that Abbas has stopped terror, so why didn’t the PA, instead of the IDF, raid Jenin to arrest a terrorist?
Israel gave Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas a double boost in the planned release of 26 terrorists names Monday morning, first by agreeing to Abbas’ pre-condition linking their freedom with the resumption of peace talks and secondly by including six terrorists from gangs that are rivals to Abbas’ Fatah party terrorist branch. Two of the […]
The Palestinian Authority again has failed to reign in terror and left the “dirty work” for the IDF, which arrested an Islamic Jihad leader in a pre-dawn raid in Jenin Wednesday. Approximately 15 local Arabs rioted and threw rocks and Molotov cocktails and rolled burning tires at the soldiers, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News […]
Israel is uncovering terror cells in Judea and Samaria at an alarming rate. This time, a Hamas cell was nabbed before it could murder an Israeli. The Palestinian Authority’s silence speaks loudly.
Islamic Jihad, usually associated with Gaza and which makes Hamas look like marshmallows, is alive and well in Israel. So is the Shin Bet, which foiled a kidnap plot.
An SMS from the Islamic Jihad to several Israeli Journalists has warned that the Gaza Strip will be the IDF's graveyard.
On Saturday, rocket fire from the Gaza Strip continued with some 20 hits identified in towns and villages near the Gaza border. Israel's Air Force hit terrorists who were launching missiles at Israel. But the Islamic Jihad held its fire this week, "to see how others would face the Israeli aggression." (Watch video)
In the wake of Israel's transferal last week of the remains of 91 terrorists to the Palestinian Authority, PA TV used its youth programming as a platform to lionize the terrorists as "the greatest role models." Palestinian Media Watch reported that the program, called Speak Up, is co-produced by PA TV and PYALARA, a youth-focused NGO funded in part by the EU.

Whilst it is difficult to imagine exactly what sort of effective controls GMJ organizers have been able to implement in order to prevent their intended one million man march from descending into violence, it should also be noted that a considerable number of the GMJ organizers are veterans of the flotilla project who describe the Turkish activists aboard the IHH-sponsored Mavi Marmara in 2010 as ‘humanitarian aid workers’.
The Gaza Strip is no different from the rest of the Arab world, so tribal culture is alive and kicking there. Ever since the Hamas movement took control of Gaza trip in 2007, it has transformed itself from a gang of jihadists into a ruling government, a standard Arab state. The minor movements - Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Resistance Committeess - function like tribes, challenging the authority of the state. Today, these groups are doing to Hamas what Hamas did to the PLO twenty years ago when it was in power.
JERUSALEM – Life in south-central Israel began returning to normal as the fragile cease-fire, brokered by the Egyptian military junta, appeared to take hold.
The latest of Iran's provocations against Israel came last week, when it became clear that the Iranian-sponsored terrorist group PRC had planned to carry out another terrorist attack on Israel’s southern border. This time however, the IDF decided not to rely on Egyptian security forces in Sinai in order to prevent this attack.
Israel killed 3 additional terrorists Monday morning, bringing Palestinian death toll to 16. Islamic terror groups launch 20 rockets Monday at Israeli civilians in the south. PM Netanyahu: "We will continue to hit whoever plans to attack citizens of the State of Israel."

Khadar Adnan, a self-described leader of Islamic Jihad, is currently on a hunger strike against his administrative detention in an Israeli prison. Human rights groups are lining up to support him, solidarity marches are being held in his name, and the EU foreign policy chief has expressed her concern. But who really IS Khader Adnan?
