Another unnecessary war
The following is a prediction best left unfulfilled. Faced with the drums of war, one must remain resolute, even if there is no certainty that war will break out. Too much is at stake. And if war does not break out now, it will at a later time. It will materialize one way or another. By…

Gaza war: It’s about keeping the Palestinians under control

What covert ops did former Mossad chief lead in Lebanon prior to 1982 invasion?
A well known method which Israeli reporters use to bypass the military censorship is to take the story to the foreign press, (at the price of losing exclusivity, but sometimes journalists just want to get the stuff out).
