Obama Administration Considers Pulling Troops Out Of Sinai Due To ISIS Threat
by Shifra on April 5, 2016Remember how Obama said we were going to “contain, and ultimately destroy” ISIS? Yeah, right. Via CNN: The Obama administration is considering pulling troops out of a base in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in part due to the growing threat from ISIS and other militants, CNN has learned. The U.S. is mulling moving some U.S. and international troops into southern portions of Sinai. They are discussing the possibility with Egypt and Israel, which signed a peace treaty in 1979 that the Multinational Force and Observers mission monitors compliance with. Some 700 U.S. troops are currently part of the mission. So far, neither Egypt nor Israel has commented publicly on the talks, and any significant changes would have to be approved by...

Joe Biden Tells Dubai Audience About “Petty, Venal And Mean” U.S. Politics
by Shifra on March 8, 2016Joe Biden is currently in the Middle East, shooting his mouth off, visiting several countries. Funny, though, how he complains about the Republicans. I seem to recall a debate against Paul Ryan, where, instead of debating policy, he smirked, laughed in Ryan’s face, repeatedly interrupted, called Ryan’s ideas “malarkey,” made exaggerated faces, adopted a condescending tone. Yes, Biden’s performance was pretty much “petty, venal and mean.” Via CNS News: U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that not even Ronald Reagan could win this year’s Republican presidential nomination, as he lamented America’s “petty, venal and mean” politics while addressing an Arab audience in a Gulf emirate ruled by sheikhs. Biden, a Democrat, said self-interested lawmakers had redrawn congressional districts to...

Saudi ‘Candid Camera’ Films Terrified Passengers Believing Jihadi Cabbie Ready To Blow Them Up
by Shifra on March 8, 2016Candid Camera was one of my favorite childhood TV shows. The Saudi version, however, is primitive and cruel. Much like their country. Via Daily Mail: Begging for their lives and even throwing themselves from a moving car, these are the terrified passengers who were the victims of a Saudi prankster pretending to be a taxi driving suicide bomber. A new video has emerged online showing the prankster posing as a driver and picking up fares as part of a stunt for a TV show in Saudi Arabia. But in each of the clips while driving his car, the so-called cabbie appears to pull back his shirt, revealing what looks like a suicide explosives vest taped to his waist. He then...

Israel Considers Banning Loudspeakers For Muslim Call To Prayer
by Shifra on March 6, 2016This proposal has been kicked around for several years. Netanyahu and his Likud party support the bill. But the Leftists in Israel, who are a million times more irrational than their American counterparts, oppose this proposal, and call the bill “The Law For Muzzling Muezzins,” so it will probably go nowhere. Via Times of Israel: The prayer calls, traditionally announced through minarets five times a day and often amplified with loudspeakers, have been a frequent target of right-wing ire, with some claiming they are an unnecessarily loud nuisance that echoes into Jewish towns and neighborhoods. Legislative efforts to stymie the calls have always failed to garner large-scale support, though, and it’s unclear whether this newest effort will find more backing…....

State Dept. Set Up Syrian Truce Violation Hotline With Staff… Who Don’t Speak Arabic
by Shifra on March 3, 2016Who exactly is running the State Department, anyway? Oh wait, I just remembered: A sanctimonious phony Leftist American military-bashing incompetent moron John Kerry. Via Washington Examiner: The State Department admitted Wednesday that it used department volunteers with limited Arabic language abilities to staff a hotline it set up to take calls about ongoing violence in Syria. That move led to confusion this week as people who speak Arabic, which is Syria’s official language, tried to call with information about violations of the Syria cease-fire, only to get hung up by volunteers who didn’t have a perfect understanding of the language….

Video: German Teen Climbs Egyptian Pyramid… Illegally
by Shifra on January 31, 2016I’ve always wanted to visit the Pyramids. Although this is not quite what I had in mind. Via USA Today: “I can’t describe it in words … It was really unbelievable for me. It was absolutely amazing.” That’s how 18-year-old Andrej Ciesielski describes his incredible, yet illegal, climb to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza in broad daylight on Jan. 18. The German tourist, who writes about the experience on his blog, says he first visited Cairo before hiring a taxi to take him to Giza. Though climbing the oldest and largest of the three pyramids could result in a three-year jail term, or something far worse if he lost his footing, “I thought the photos would be...

by Shifra on January 14, 2016Anti-Israel bias anyone? The museum is scheduled to open in May, on Israel Independence Day, which Arabs call “Nakba Day” – “The Catastrophe.” Memo to the “Palestinians” – You would have had your own country if you had accepted the UN Partition Plan of 1947. As Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban famously said: “The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Via Jerusalem Post: CNN on Wednesday listed the Palestinian Museum, set to open in the West Bank in May, as one its “9 best attractions opening in 2016.” The museum’s opening is scheduled to coincide with Nakba Day, in which Palestinians mark the “catastrophe” of Israel gaining independence in 1948….

Israel Seizes Rock-Throwing Toys, Palestinians Accuse Israel of ‘War on Dolls’
by Shifra on December 14, 2015Four thousand dolls, each with its face hidden by a keffiyeh, holding a tiny rock in a raised arm, with a banner proclaiming “Jerusalem is ours,” were confiscated by Israeli authorities. Terrible timing by the Israelis, because now, what will the little darlings get for Christmas? Oh wait… Via Breitbart: Thousands of “rock-throwing” dolls were confiscated by the Israeli Customs Authority for inciting children to violence, yet the Palestinian media claimed the toys were confiscated as part of Israel’s “war against children’s dolls.” Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported that official Palestinian media attacked Israel for its “war on dolls” while failing to mention that the doll is shown to be throwing a rock…. Last Thursday, the official PA daily, Al...

Videos: Tammy On Trump’s Proposal To Stop Muslim Immigration Into U.S.
by Shifra on December 8, 2015Tammy with guest host Judge Andrew Napolitano and former Bush State Department Senior Advisor Christian Whiton discuss Donald Trump’s latest proposal. Tammy notes that the appeal of this proposal can be understood within the framework of an actual, new idea (as opposed to nothing new from Obama) and that this is a conversation that we must have. Tammy also suggests that a more nuanced approach would be to stop immigration from countries that have no infrastructure, which would slow the immigration flood while allowing the vettng process to be improved.

by Shifra on December 1, 2015Tammy joins Charles Payne, with former CIA Director Amb. James Woolsey and former FBI Senior Military Intel Officer Steve Rogers, to discuss the current U.S. strategy on ISIS. Tammy notes that we need a Commander-in-Chief who understands what it takes to go against ISIS, and this is not what we have in Barack Obama; putting American boots on the ground at this point would put the troops at risk.

Media Bias Alert: CNN Erases Israel From The Map
by Shifra on November 25, 2015Ignorance/stupidity, or yet another example of leftwing Jew-hatred? Via Honest Reporting: UPDATE Following the publication of this post and the complaints of many HonestReporting subscribers, CNN has removed the map in question and replaced it with an image of the aftermath of a Syrian airstrike in Aleppo. While we question how the error occurred at all, nonetheless we commend CNN for taking prompt action. * * * As the year draws to a close, CNN Money looks ahead focusing on “Beyond ISIS: 2016’s scariest geopolitical hot spots.” Unsurprisingly, Syria and the Middle East features. But look at the map above that CNN has chosen to accompany the text. Israel has been wiped from the map and instead replaced with “Palestina,”...

Israel’s New Media Czar Says Obama Is ‘Anti-Semite,’ Kerry ‘Has Mental Age of 12’
by Shifra on November 6, 2015Ron Baratz, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Hebrew University, enjoys writing Facebook rants. However, his recent appointment as Netanyahu’s Media Chief was jeopardized after some his previous writing came to light. A spokesman for the State Department said that “name-calling is simply not a polite thing to do.” (Oh, really? Like the time, last year, when a senior member of the Obama administration called Netanyahu “chickens***” ?) And Josh Earnest called Baratz’s comments ‘troubling and offensive.’ I call them ‘accurate and insightful.” Via i24 News: Ron Baratz, who was to be the new media advisor, called US President Obama’s conduct anti-Semitic…. Baratz, who was supposed to accompany Netanyahu to Washington on Sunday, will no longer travel with the...

Happy Wednesday: ISIS Suicide Bomber Botches Attack, Gets Blown In Half
by Shifra on November 4, 2015Maybe we could send him a copy of “How To Carry Out A Successful Suicide Bombing, For Dummies.” Oh wait… Via Daily Mail: A grisly video has surfaced of the moment a failed ISIS suicide bomber is found torn in half but still alive after his explosives detonated too early. Footage of the incident, posted online, showed him muttering a few words and moving his head – despite missing the lower half of his body. It’s believed he was an ISIS suicide bomber whose bomb belt detonated too early in a botched attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen….
