A UN Watch exposé revealed that former UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl met secretly with leaders of designated Palestinian terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in Beirut in 2017. Krahenbuhl assured them of a strong partnership, encouraging private critiques of UNRWA decisions and promising potential policy changes in return for their cooperation and commitment to UNRWA’s security. He stressed the importance of secrecy to avoid jeopardizing UNRWA’s funding. These clandestine meetings highlight deeply problematic interactions between UNRWA leadership and terrorist groups.

Israel has announced that the head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s operations in Gaza has been killed in a targeted strike. This news has sparked a flurry of reactions, ranging from celebration to condemnation.
Some commenters expressed joy at the elimination of the terrorist leader, praising Israel’s actions and highlighting the ongoing struggle against extremism. They emphasized the importance of targeting those responsible for violence and terrorism, regardless of their status or position.
Others took a more critical stance, questioning the effectiveness of such targeted killings and their potential consequences. They argued that the focus should be on addressing the underlying issues that fuel conflict and violence, rather than simply eliminating individuals.… Continue reading
The recent revelation that a Gazan named as a Doctors Without Borders staffer was also an Islamic Jihad rocket maker is truly shocking. The conflicting images of a doctor and a terrorist combined in one person are difficult to comprehend. It raises questions about how someone can wear two vastly different hats simultaneously. The idea that a person could be saving lives by day and taking them away by night is a disturbing reality.
The reports of additional casualties, especially innocent children, add another layer of complexity to this already multifaceted situation. The IDF’s targeted strike and subsequent release of footage showing the individual on a bike in the vicinity are evidence that cannot be ignored.… Continue reading
The recent news of the IDF killing the Islamic Jihad commander in the West Bank has sparked a range of emotions and reactions. On the one hand, there is a sense of relief and satisfaction that a leader of a terrorist group, responsible for inciting violence and carrying out attacks, has been removed from the equation. Abu Shujaiya, as he was known, was not just any ordinary citizen but the leader of a local battalion of the Islamic Jihad in the Nur Shams refugee camp. His elimination is undoubtedly a blow to the organization and a victory for the IDF.
However, it is important to note the context in which this operation took place.… Continue reading
It’s unnerving to hear that Islamic Jihad spokesman Tarik Salame Uda Abu has confessed to a disturbing revelation – the takeover of all Gaza hospitals by militant groups. This admission shines a light on the manipulation of international media and the control exerted by Hamas and Islamic Jihad over the narrative coming out of Gaza. The fact that these groups have final say over what gets published in foreign media is deeply troubling and raises questions about the reliability of information we receive.
The revelation that hospitals in Gaza have dedicated rooms for terror activities, coordinate the transfer of terrorists, and even avoid discussing the living conditions and cost of living deliberately is shocking.… Continue reading
The recent news of Israel’s military recovering the body of a hostage from Gaza is both heartbreaking and infuriating. The discovery of the body of Hisham al-Sayed, who was held captive by the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, sheds light on the brutal reality of conflict in the region. While it is unclear whether al-Sayed was filmed under duress or was able to speak freely in the video released earlier this year, one thing remains certain – his life was taken unjustly.
The question that arises is, why would a group like Islamic Jihad murder a hostage? What possible benefit could they gain from such a horrific act?… Continue reading
Hostage Elad Katzir has tragically lost his life at the hands of his captors within the Gaza Strip. The heartbreaking news of his murder was revealed by his sister, shedding light on the cruel realities faced by hostages and their families. While his body was said to be “returned” to Israel, it is imperative to note that it was actually recovered by the IDF through a daring mission in Khan Younis, dispelling any illusions of willing cooperation.
The revelation that Elad Katzir was executed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) raises questions about the plight of other hostages still held in captivity.… Continue reading
I read a news article recently that shook me to my core. An Islamic Jihad terrorist confessed to raping a young girl on October 7, and his excuse was that the “devil took over him”. Reading about this despicable act of violence and the attempt to shift blame onto some external force filled me with anger and frustration.
It is deeply disappointing to see individuals refuse to take accountability for their actions and instead blame a mystical figure like the devil. The truth is, there is no devil. It all comes down to the choices we make as individuals. To harm another person in such a horrific way cannot be justified by blaming an outside force – it is a reflection of one’s own character.… Continue reading
