This just in from the folks at The Israel Project:

This week's campaign to free seven kidnapped Egyptian security officials in the Sinai Peninsula exposed deep rifts between the Egyptian army and the country's Muslim Brotherhood-linked government, with the regime preventing the army from subduing jihadists to whom the Brotherhood is sympathetic. Sheikh Nabil Naim, one of the leaders of the jihad movement in Egypt, explained to Asharq al-Awsat that the Brotherhood is close to jihadist groups operating in the Sinai because the two are ideologically aligned in seeking to establish a new caliphate, and because the Brotherhood may need to call upon the jihadists to battle the Egyptian opposition. The government has declined Egyptian army requests for a broad campaign that would eliminate the some 2,000 terrorists that operate in the northern Sinai. Egyptian security forces have consistently blamed Hamas...

The Tavor is a gun for people who not only have to use it in combat situations, but for those of us who enjoy the masterpiece of design and manufacture.

While they are not the default weapon in Israel yet, the IDF is already looking at a Micro Tavor, especially for high security personnel.

For you non-Hebrew speakers, Tavor is the same word as Tabor, as in Mt. Tabor of Deborah and Barak Bible lore.

The video above demonstrates the original model.

Here is what the Israel Defense website had to report on the Micro:

“The Tavor rifle, developed by Israeli Military Industry's light weapons factory, Magen, which...

Do these men believe the law of the land is irrelevant? Are they sworn to protect the law or to use it to punish anyone who disagrees with them?

Are they destined for impeachment and shame for their obviously illegal actions?

White House assistant, Dan Pfeiffer made the Sunday talk shows to try to fluff up the President’s image. It would seem that his the media talking heads were less than impressed.

No one has ever called Bob Scheiffer a conservative, but even he asked Pfeiffer, “Why am I talking to you?”

That was...

Word is out that President Shimon Peres will travel Sunday to Jordan. He is taking part in the World Economic Forum. That is not unusual.

But there is rumor floating that he will also meet privately with PA President Mahmoud Abbas and US Secretary of State John Kerry.

As the Times of Israel reported, “Ahead of the trip, Peres will conduct a working meeting with Kerry Thursday evening in Jerusalem. According to the President’s Residence, the two leaders will “first and foremost” discuss Washington’s effort to restart peace negotiations...

Two of the now gone men who taught their people to hate Jews: The Mufti of Jerusalem and Adolph Hitler.

The only democracy in the Middle East is Jewish.

The first nation to send workers in the face of disasters is Jewish.

The place where wounded, sick and desperate Arabs, even from Gaza, run is Jewish.

The nation of Israel is tough, but at the same time even Syrians who are fleeing the war in their homeland are being treated and helped by a nation they’ve been taught to hate.

There is a point to this…

In the face of news that...

We came across this clip of an Air Force C-17 that landed by accident at a small commuter airport rather than the intended McDill AFB.

Then it took off. Amazing!

What you are going to see is a successful test of a laser anti-rocket called ADAM taking out a Qassam-type rocket in flight.

This should keep Hezbollah’s Nasrallah awake at night.

If you are looking for a good read on Middle East recent history, you would do well to get a copy of Elliott Abram’s book, Tested by Zion.

I admit to being a history and specifically a Middle Eastern history junkie.

As an insider, Elliott Abrams has seen lots of it up close and very personal.

Let me give you a tiny view inside the US State Department from the book.

You are surely familiar with Colin Powell. The former Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and later Secretary of State, he was the beneficiary of Republican President...
