The Islamist Challenge from the Sahel Region and North Africa - Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) The states surrounding Mali understood the
region-wide Islamist threat and supported France's military
intervention. This includes the backing of the Economic Community of
West African States (ECOWAS) led by Nigeria. Moreover, Algeria let
French aircraft fly through its airspace in order to engage the jihadists and halt their offensive on the ground in Mali. The anti-Western jihadi
groups will probably try to retaliate, though not necessarily in the
Sahel region. Rather, with the human infrastructure they have in Europe,
the U.S., South America and West Africa, the choice of possible targets
presents a huge challenge for all intelligence services involved in
homeland security.

Here is Fathi Shihab-Eddim's, a senior Morsi advisor, Holocaust denial posted on an official Muslim Brotherhood web site: The
myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented. U.S.
intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied
nations during World War II created it to destroy the image of their
opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against
military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to
hit “Hiroshima and Nagasaki”
with the atomic bomb. Oh yeah, this guy is responsible for appointing editors to Egypt’s state-run newspapers. (HonestReporting, UPI, Fox, FrontPage)

France at War Against Global Jihad - Freddy Eytan (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Paris practices a double standard of morality, condemning Israel's retaliatory acts against Hamas or Hizbullah, while seeing fit to act against terrorists thousands of kilometers from its own territory. One should commend France's determined fight against global terror. But the time has come for sober internalization of the fact that the Islamic terrorists in Mali and the terrorists in Gaza, Sinai, or Lebanon belong to the same family and must.

Iran, Syria and North Korea Developing Biological Weapons- Jill Bellamy van Aalst, Clare Lopez and Reza Kahlili (Washington Times) Among the more than 16 biological agents that Iran reportedly is developing are anthrax, Ebola, encephalitis, biological toxins, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), cholera, smallpox and plague. Worse yet, Iran, with North Korea's help, has genetically altered the smallpox virus in ways that may make current vaccinations ineffective.
Former Iranian Diplomat: "Iran Would Definitely Use Nuclear Weapons on Israel" (Jerusalem Post) "The [Iranian] regime thinks that if it has several atom bombs, it will grant it an insurance policy.... They believe that the world would treat them the way it treats North Korea."
Hizbullah and the Qods Force in Iran's Shadow War with the West - Matthew Levitt (Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Iranian leaders appear committed to a policy of targeting Western interests, not only in places where countermeasures may be comparatively underdeveloped (e.g., Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, India, Georgia, Thailand) but, if opportunities present themselves, even in world capitals like Washington, D.C.

Hamas' Talibanization of Gaza - Khaled Abu Toameh (Gatestone Institute) Hamas is well aware that its campaign enjoys the
support and sympathy of most Palestinians, not only in Gaza but also in
the West Bank. What is happening in Gaza is one of the by-products of
the Arab Spring, which has seen the rise of Islamists to power. Foreign
activists who continue to arrive in Gaza to voice solidarity with Hamas
need to know that they are complicit in the effort to establish a
repressive and brutal entity that has no respect for freedoms and
despises Western culture and values.

Yahoo Runs Deceiving Photo with Reuters Article (CAMERA) WARNING: READER BEWARE! YAHOO IS NOT
A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE OF INFORMATION! A Reuters article was posted
yesterday on yahoo.com,with the headline "Israel Hits Target in Syria
Border Area: Sources" under which was posted a large photo of children
carrying a dead body. The Israeli strike was on a Syrian convoy
transferring weapons to the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon. And
the photo, in fact, had no connection whatsoever to the article about
the Israeli strike.
