Benny Avni’s Arabian Dawn article sheds light on the amazing transformation that has taken place in the Arab world. Because of the danger Iran poses to the Arabs of the Middle East as well as western civilization, now that Obama opened the floodgates with his “deal”, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, aka MBS, the Emir of Qatar, the Egyptians, and the Jordanians are all aligning themselves with Israel and America. Could Obama have ever anticipated this would be the outcome of his treachery?

Even while the PA and Hamas are massing on the Gaza border, thousands calling for the “return” to their homes in Israel, the Arab world is showing their indifference to these people who have tried everyone’s patience for decades. The PLO was formed in 1964 when Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem were in the hands of the Arabs. What were they seeking to “liberate” then? The Kushner “peace” finding team with the PA will come up empty since Fatah and Hamas keep celebrating the blood-soaked PA flag and the beautiful sound of the rifle that kills Israelis. Unfortunately, for those who call themselves “Palestinians,” they have been abused for so long by their greedy, corrupt leadership, there is only a dead end waiting for them if they continue on this path.

Saudi Arabia’s MBS is displaying the kind of leadership that others should follow. Let’s hope the lesson is learned.

Jack Engehard’s OpEd In today’s Arutz Sheva offers some new intriguing thoughts on how to deal with the people of Gaza.

See if you agree.

Why is writer Giulio Meotti stating that he is ashamed of his profession?

Meotti gives the mainstream media and other hypocrites constantly attacking Israel something to think about and he digs in deep. One strong comment he makes is this: if the terror attacks that happen to Israel happened to other countries would those countries hold back and resist or defend themselves just as Israel is doing?

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked says that the problem of the illegal infiltrators presents a golden opportunity to pass a law to restore the legislative powers of the Knesset which she believes have been usurped by the Supreme Court.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the formation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry against the New Israel Fund (NIF) Tuesday evening in light of the organization’s exertion of pressure on the governments of Rwanda and Uganda not to abide by agreements with Israel to take in illegal infiltrators.

Im Tirtzu is an organization led by Doug Altabef and Matan Peleg and supported by Aharon Pulver and the Israel Independence Fund. Im Tirtzu has been particularly effective in unmasking and exposing various threats to Zionism and Israel by thoroughly researching the extensive funding of anti-Israeli NGOs by European governments and the New Israel Fund.

Excellent reading on this can be found in this 2014 article by Matan Peleg: “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing“, or visit this site for a full report on the same title.

With Friday only a day away, the IDF is preparing for more tension along the security fence. Gazans have amassed nearly 10,000 tires with the intention of burning them during a second mass protest along the Gaza security fence. Women and children were instructed to carry mirrors and lasers to distract IDF snipers at the fence. Their goal is to create a “wall of smoke” along the border ultimately obscuring vision of Israeli soldiers.

Both Israel and Palestinian groups have warned against the move, which could see both sides suffering an ecological disaster.

Recently, Pessin edited a new book with Fordham University’s Doron Ben-Atar on the general campus trend “Anti-Zionism on Campus: The University, Free Speech, and BDS.”

Artuz Sheva writer Noah Beck interviewed Pessin. Read the interview HERE
