October 7 deeply impacted Egypt, however, Cairo has not appeared to excoriate Hamas for the attack, leaving questions about how this all transpired.

As the IDF pushes deeper into Rafah they are finding tunnels and dismantling Hamas terrorist infrastructure. The offensive in Rafah was opposed by Egypt before it happened, however there have been less statements since it actually began. There remains a lack of clarity about Egypt’s overall position today and also what may have transpired in the years leading up to October 7.

It’s important to begin the process of understanding how Hamas became so powerful prior to the October 7 attack. How did it stockpile so many weapons? Where did the weapons come from? Hamas manufactures many types of rockets locally, but it also acquired RPGs and other types of systems that appear to have been trafficked from abroad.

Featuring Dr. Rachel, Founder and President of the American Center for Democracy and the Economic Warfare Institute. She is a noted terror finance and economic warfare scholar and an advocate of free speech rights. Her work has uncovered the “clandestine and sinister ways that Islamic terrorist groups finance their global network. From innocent-looking American businesses that serve as fronts for terrorism to joint efforts with established groups in organized crime, terrorists have grown increasingly savvy in ways to bolster their financial power.”

This is important, surprising, and encouraging.

JD Vance is one of the more likely people that Trump would choose as VP running mate.

He is on record as being against spending money on the Ukraine war. He has not spoken much about his views on Israel and has generally been seen by Israel supporters as someone to be wary of.

E. Rowell:  If you can bear to read or listen to a person in emotional pain, you will find that person is in a unique position to illuminate how one lives with grief, sadness, anger, while trying to keep hope alive.  Also we can learn about the strength that can come from deepening our connection to The Eternal One.  There are probably many similar conversations taking place amongst the people of  Israel.  It is important to honor each person struggling to come to grips with this personal and national devastation.

Millions of people have seen the video of Avinatan Or being taken hostage at the Nova Music Festival on October 7. He’s the thirty-one-year-old, handsome Israeli who, at six foot three, appears almost indifferent to the terrorists pushing and pulling him this way and that. His focus is turned to the pleading girl on the motorcycle crying out to him as terrorists ride off with her into Gaza. Avinatan looks over at his girlfriend, Noa, with pain in his eyes that seems to say, “I won’t leave you.”

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis) reveal FBI emails from 2015-2016 showing State Department stopped 8 arrests in order to protect the Iran nuclear deal, including arrests of terrorists.

During the Obama Administration, the US State Department prevented the FBI from arresting people connected to Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, including “known terrorists,” two Republican Senators said in a bombshell accusation.

Watch Slovakian PM’s stunning talks against the WHO, vaccines, covid testing:

Robert Fico is a huge threat to the globalist cartel.

By Brucha Weisberger, TRUTH 613     24 MAY 2024

I just watched two of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico’s fearless speeches: the 4-minute speech from January, in which he announced the formation of an investigative commission into the covid vaccine, testing, and related corruption in Slovakia, and a shorter talk from last November, in which he decried the vaccines, the Pharma-WHO cartel and their “Pandemic Accord,” and more.

It was shocking and wonderfully exhilarating to see how bluntly a leader actually called out the “covid circus.” I really think that the whole world needs to hear what this almost-assassinated head of state was saying.

Gadi Taub & Mike Doran | Tablet | May 22, 2024

A whirlwind week in Israeli politics: Ministers Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz delivered two ultimatums to prime minister Netanyahu, threatening to dissolve the cabinet they are both still members of. Both held independent talks with high American officials prior to the move. Did they coordinate with the Americans, or with each other? Is the government about to be dissolved? And how will international arrest warrants from The Hague, against Netanyahu and Gallant, play out in Israeli politics? Mike and Gadi suggest ways to connect the dots.

At the end of the 20th century, the Soviet Union was at the peak of its global influence. It was imbued with the conviction that the future belonged to communism and its dominance was destined and unending.

In 1991, the Soviet Union unexpectedly collapsed. The Warsaw Pact dissolved, and the newly formed nation, the Russian Federation, denounced communism and extended the olive branch to the West. In contrast, the United States and its NATO partners chose to capitalize on the desperate period of Russian history—specifically, the weakened economy and fragmented military—by making a provocative and threatening move to expand NATO closer to Russia’s doorstep.

Peloni:  Recall Mudar’s comment on the very morning of October 7: “The King of Jordan’s intelligence and the Egyptian military intelligence are the ones behind Hamas’ escalation against Israel,”  The leadership of these two nations have badly betrayed Israel and they must be replaced.

T. Belman. Mudar also said that Abdullah enlised MBZ to convince Al Sisi to support Hamas. Of course MBZ brought a ton of money with him. But the truth of the matter is that al Sisi had to know about the smuggling and did nothing to stop it or acknowledge it.

If Mudar’s connection to the Shin Bet knew about it, the IDF also knew.  Its hard to escape the conclusion that the top echelon of the IDF who ignored all the evidence coming in, wanted the attack to take place as a means of dethroning Netanyahu.

Since Oct. 7, it has become clear that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi has been playing Israel for a fool.
Caroline Glick | JNS | May 23, 2024

Israelis have long viewed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as an ally in the fight against the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran. Sisi, after all, led the Egyptian military in overthrowing Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government of then-president Mohamed Morsi in 2013. Since the Hamas regime in Gaza played a key role in ousting former President Hosni Mubarak from power and assisting Muslim Brotherhood terrorists from escaping Egyptian prisons in the Sinai in 2011 and 2012, el-Sisi also shared Israel’s negative view of Hamas. He stood with Israel during the Hamas war against Israel in 2014.

Western analysts think otherwise, because they are seeing Israel’s war through the lens of America’s own failed counterinsurgency doctrines

BY ANDREW FOX, TABLET

As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducts another assault in the north of Gaza, they face significant criticism from Western officials and analysts who are asking why the IDF is repeatedly going into areas they have already cleared and conducting further operations. Critics claim this behavior reflects a flaw in operational design, or is even proof that Israel’s campaign against Hamas has failed. The flaw, however, lies in their own assumptions.

THESE ATTACKS ARE BRINGING ISRAEL CLOSER TO INVADING LEBANON.

The invasion should have happenned months ago. Hezbollah is getting stronger. For multiple reasons, Israel is not ready to do it.

E. Rowell:  This is the clearest example of utilizing the organization with the highest concentration of Jew haters in the world (The UN)  to provide aid to Hamas, in order to help Hamas destroy Israel.  There is no famine in Gaza.  It is a cynical PSYOP to make it appear that Israel is the aggressor against the suffering Palestinian “victims.”

‘The entire U.N. family’ will be leveraged in U.S. aid operations

By Adam Kredo, FREE BEACON    20 May 2024

(Mohammed Salem/Reuters)

The Biden administration says it is channeling aid for a pier system built off the coast of the Gaza Strip through the entirety of the United Nations’ humanitarian infrastructure, comments that come after a top U.S. official confirmed the United States is still relying on the Hamas-linked Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for aid distribution. But officials from across the administration will not detail the extent of UNRWA’s involvement in their ongoing humanitarian efforts.

E. Rowell:  We have learned from Fransisco Gil-White that US Middle East policy has been pro-Iranian since 1979 if not before then.  We have learned from others that George Bush, Sr. started Hamas with the Hashemite King.  All of this and more was carefully hidden from Americans until Obama was elected.  The Obama and now Biden Administrations have now been revealed in their naked, unashamed policy of supporting genocide against Israel while blaming Israel for committing genocide against the Palestinians.  There is nowhere for them to hide. The ugliness of their policies has set the Middle East ablaze.  But Israel will need to bind up her wounds and continue the fight.  The majority of Americans are behind Israel and will not give up on her.  Israel will succeed in the end.

The bloodier the terror attacks, the more stark the eliminationist rhetoric, the more support for a Palestinian state.

By Eugene Kontorovich, THE DAILY SCROLL    22 May 2024

Hamas’ grisly terror raid on Oct. 7 has proved to be the single most stunningly successful act in gaining support for the Palestinian cause—not among Israeli or American voters, of course, but among top Democratic policymakers, and their counterparts across the Western world. One might think that a campaign of unrepentant killing, torture, rape, and hostage-taking would be disqualifying for a national independence movement. But in Washington, Hamas’ ongoing crimes have resulted in much of the weight of the U.S. government being brought to bear on advancing the cause of Palestinian statehood, and its correlate, the punishment and demonization of the Jewish state.

At a Likud faction meeting held this week, the Defense Minister presented a nightmare scenario, suggesting that if a military administration is established in Gaza, it would be the end of the State of Israel or close to it. Since Gallant does not have substantive reasons to explain his
opposition to military administration, which has already become irrational, he presented baseless arguments.
