One of the reasons why ISIS is continuing to call for the assassination of Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi is because he is destroying the infrastructure terrorists need to carry out their plans.
Last July/August Egyptian military began destroying Hamas terror tunnels in the Sinai region and Gaza. In a remarkable discovery hidden by western media a full ONE THIRD of all border homes contained terror tunnels into Gaza. As a consequence of the scope al-Sisi ordered an expanded security perimeter and all border homes destroyed.
Today Egyptian media are reporting on another tunnel discovered, the size of it explains how committed the Muslim Brotherhood is to the destruction of Israel. Unreal.
EL-ARISH, Egypt – Egyptian security officials say they have found a 1.5-mile smuggling tunnel leading into the Gaza Strip, the longest such passageway discovered in their crackdown on cross-border smuggling.
They say the tunnel was operated by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, which Egypt says is a terrorist organization that played a role in recent attacks against Egyptian security forces. (more…)
The White House has a strategy of defeating Benjamin Netanyahu by instilling fear in the Israeli electorate of losing the U.S. as a protective ally. According to the apparent logic – if Obama casts deep enough aspersions toward Israel’s leadership, the Israeli people will fear re-electing Netanyahu.
However, the plan appears to be failing as polling indicates the people within the jewish state have caught on to the manipulation and don’t trust Obama.
Three in four Israelis say that they do not trust President Barack Obama to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to a recent poll conducted by the Times of Israel. (more…)
SHEEESH !! The Democrat response to the Netanyahu speech before congress is over-the-top ridiculous. Congressional Cuckoo Birds…
What makes the entire thing all the more absurd is that the White House was fully informed by both Speak Boehner and Benjamin Netanyahu, yet Democrats are determined to run with an entirely manufactured White House talking point.
The White House claimed Speaker Boehner invited Prime Minister Netanyahu without consulting with President Obama; ergo their chosen narrative became Obama was disrespected. However, since the time the White House made such a claim, it has been proven that Boehner did inform the administration; and secondly, prior to Netanyahu accepting the invitation he too contacted the White House to discuss. It was the white house who refused to discuss – apparently, just so they could manufacture a controversy.
Now the Congressional Black Caucus is pushing the narrative that House Speaker Boehner and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu are racist leaders who are attacking President Obama simply because Obama is black. The White House has tried to use the position that any opposition to President Obama’s policies contain racist connotations before, but this recent effort is beyond absurd.
Yesterday Representative Charlie Rangel challenged Prime Minister Netanyahu to a fight because Rangel was defending Obama’s honor or something. Today Rep Hank ‘Tippy Guam’ Johnson enters the foray: (more…)
Yes, finally someone seems to ‘get it’. The current White House manipulative narrative around the Benjamin Netanyahu speech is entirely the result of Team Obama’s pride, ego and anger about the way Netanyahu was received during his May 24th 2011 speech:
(Via Media Equalizer) […] During a press conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier today, the president indicated a deal with Tehran is possible because “according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon.”
OBAMA: “The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we’re at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon”.
“And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal. They should be able to get to yes. But we don’t know if that’s going to happen”. (more…)
JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will travel to Washington to speak before the U.S. Congress next month despite calls to cancel his speech.
His remarks Monday at an election rally come amid an uproar over his planned speech about Iran before Congress next month.
Netanyahu said: “A bad deal with Iran is forming in Munich that will endanger Israel’s existence. … Therefore I am determined to go to Washington and present Israel’s position before the members of Congress and the American people.” (more…)
When you won’t admit you have an enemy, and you won’t admit who the enemy is, it goes without saying – You don’t have a “Strategy”, let alone have a possibility of success:
We often say ‘we accept the world as it is rather than as we wish it to be’. Because to do anything else only creates frustration from projecting our own perspectives, dreams, wishes and hopes into a situation that may not -heck, often doesn’t- evolve to provide a better outcome.
Today, Susan Rice delivered a speech outlining the Obama administration’s 2015 National Security Strategy. The full 35pg pdf. is available here and below is the introduction by President Obama himself.

Liberal Democrats are just too busy, and beside all that they hate Israel – period.
