2012 London Olmpics: Munich Massacre Moment of Silence, Zionists, & Media Bias On Sunday night, a terror squad attacked an Egyptian border guard unit whose soldiers were breaking for iftar – the Ramadan fast-breaking dinner. Sixteen soldiers were killed and many more injured. After the slaughter, the terrorists captured two armored vehicles and attempted to drive them into Israel in order to initiate a large scale terrorist attack. Their plan was foiled by the IDF, which received some previous intelligence on the operation. Before the Jews of Hungary were emancipated in the 19th century, they were not permitted to own land. By the end of the century, they were on their way to owning fully one-fifth of Hungary’s large estates and were hugely successful in business and the arts. The Jews of Germany had a similar history. In the early 20th century, they comprised many if not most of the country’s lawyers, doctors, composers, playwrights and scientists, and were so astonishingly successful in business that while they were just 1 percent of the population, they were 31 percent of the richest families. What did it? Was it nature (Jews were smarter) or nurture (Jews had a certain culture)? Here’s my answer: I don’t know. The ongoing series of rapes and muggings committed by illegal African migrants in Israel have inadvertently revealed serious flaws in the thinking of those in charge of the “Jewish State.” Like a building whose structure rests on rotten foundations, so a country with weak leadership will eventually crumble into dust. The recent complaints by Meretz chairwoman Zahava Gal-On and Peace Now head Yariv Oppenheimer regarding what they claim to be incitement against the illegal aliens flooding into Israel highlight how the international left has abandoned its own founding principles and become the foe of those it was originally supposed to protect; namely, the weaker segments of society and the laboring masses. Jordanian King Abdullah II told “CBS This Morning” that Syrian President Bashar Assad will stick to his guns and won’t back down, but may try to form an “Alawite enclave” within greater Syria, in an interview aired Tuesday. Assad believes he is in the right, King Abdullah told Charlie Rose in Amman on Sunday. “I think the regime feels that it has no alternative, but to continue. … I don’t think it’s just Bashar. It’s not the individual. It’s the system of the regime.” The Syrian president, Abdullah continued, is going to continue on his current path indefinitely. The Sinai terror attack has been a complete disaster for Hamas, both politically and economically.

The attack, which resulted in the killing of 16 Egyptian border guards while they were enjoying the fast-breaking meal of Ramadan, took place just when it seemed that Hamas and Egypt were about to embark on a honeymoon. In fact, the terror attack has been a complete disaster for Hamas, both politically and economically. Just last week, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy received Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in his palace in Cairo, and agreed with him on a series of measures to ease restrictions imposed on residents of the Gaza Strip.
