JERUSALEM — Israeli aircraft attacked two suspected weapons-making factories and a smuggling tunnel in the Gaza Strip early Sunday in what the military said was retaliation for Palestinian rocket fire into southern Israel. The airstrikes, which wounded at least seven people – including one seriously – came despite an announcement by Gaza's Hamas rulers that the territory's military...
According to the Saudi Network, al-Arabiya (via Ynet ), Gilad Shalit, Kidnapped by Hamas over three years ago, may be coming home as soon as this coming Friday. It will be a four-stage deal. Israel will release 450 terrorists, custody of Shalit will be transferred to the Egyptian Government. Israel will follow up by releasing the another 650 terrorists and Egypt will transfer Shalit to the Israel....
The US economy is in great shape—at least, Goldman Sachs is doing well, and politically that's what counts. Still, unemployment is worrisome. Good Christian Americans might be distracted from the excellent work they're doing in defense of health insurance companies.

Instead of investing money and efforts in organizing Israel Apartheid Week, for example, the self-described “pro-Palestinians” could dispatch a delegation of teachers to Palestinian villages and refugee camps to teach young Palestinians...
From Fox News: The United Nations detained an outspoken critic and booted her from its New York headquarters in what the woman, a human rights watchdog, is calling an effort to silence her opposition to the world body. Anne Bayefsky claims that as retaliation for giving a two-minute impromptu speech defending Israel, her 25-year career of monitoring the U.N. is now in jeopardy — likely to be...
Occasionally, a little inconvenient truth slips out in a news report. In the case of School dropout high among Palestinian refugees: UN, it's this: Lebanese law prevents Palestinian refugees from practising most professions or owning property.

As I catch up on some reading this weekend, a little story out of a tiny west African nation has caught my attention again. Earlier this month, Simon Mann, an ' Eton-educated former SAS officer ' and, as of late, British mercenary, had his 34 year sentence pardoned in Equatorial Guinea.

Israel Beiteinu will “staunchly oppose” the creation of “an interim Palestinian state,” Israeli Foreign Minister and party leader Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday amid rumors that the government was pushing for an interim agreement. “The issue has not been discussed in any forum … I fervently hope it’s a fabrication,” he told reporters before Sunday’s...
