CAIR is and has been tied to the radical elements of Islam — stealth Jihad!

I would have to agree from my 4 years in the military, its unlike these pin pricks will deter them much!

To superficial observers of the Middle East, the latest round of fighting in Gaza looks like a replay of previous rounds. Once again, it seems, Israel pounded Hamas but didn’t crush it.

But there was something different this time around. This time, Hamas was far more isolated diplomatically. Egypt, the Saudis, and the Palestinian Authority all showed “no sympathy” for Hamas (as President Obama would say). Indeed, unlike President Obama — whose diplomacy initially bypassed Egypt, the Saudis, and the PA in favor of Hamas few allies — these entities actually seemed to tilt towards Israel.

Those like Obama and Kerry who want Israel “to take risks for peace” have seized on this new diplomatic reality. The time is now, they say, for Israel to align itself with the emerging Sunni bloc by making major concessions to the PA.

But I would argue that the new alignment cuts in the opposite direction. It shows how marginal the Palestinian question is to Middle East power politics, and thus militates against Israel taking the risks (which, after the latest rocket attacks, are even more manifest) associated with ceding territory to Palestinians.

The latest fighting took place in the context of a complete breakdown in negotiations between Israel and the PA. Thus, if reaching an agreement over the West Bank is so important, one expect Israel to be even more diplomatically isolated than usual.

But this was not the case. As noted, Egypt, the Saudis, and even the PA refused to side or even sympathize with Hamas. If anything, they were with Israel, objectively speaking.

Since the early days of Power Line, we have argued that the West Bank, which so preoccupies American policy, is a side show in the Middle East. These days, it’s doubtful that the West Bank rises even to that level. Not with Iran possibly on the verge of going nuclear and with Islamist barbarians sweeping through the region killing Arabs almost indiscriminately.

Report: Hamas executed tunnel diggers

Digging tunnels for Hamas and living to tell about it is no sure thing. At least 160 Palestinian children reportedly died while performing the hazardous duty that the tunnel digging for Hamas entails. This number was reported in a pro-Palestinian journalist based on statements by Hamas officials in Gaza.

But surviving the digging was only half the battle. Hamas reportedly executed dozens more diggers in the past few weeks out of fear that they would provide information to Israel about where the tunnels are located.

The executions were reported on an Israeli military blog, based on statements by Palestinians involved in the digging. The Times of Israel could not independently confirm the report. But who can doubt that Hamas, which reportedly spent 40 percent of its budget on the digging and used child labor, would take the most extreme measures to keep the locations secret from Israel?

Funneling arms through Turkey is what Benghazi was all about!

The rise if the ISIS which than became the Islamic State under a Caliphate it a direct result of the foreign policy of Barack Husein Obama and his handlers the Muslim Brotherhood which is deeply embedded in his administration. Hillary Roham Clinton and John Kerry have each helped and its not clear whether anyone of the three know they are doing the bidding of the Brotherhood; they just all aren’t all that intelligent!

Why isn’t Maliki doing what the Bamster and Larch what him do to — step down?

Since this war with Islam has been going on for close to 1,400 years already what another 100!
