Egypt lets Israel use its airspace
Arab news sources reported at week’s end that an unidentified jet believed to be Israeli destroyed warehouses in southern Libya that held weapons bought by Iran for Hamas.
According to the reports in Al Watan and other news outlets, the warehouses were completely destroyed. The weapons that were inside them had allegedly been purchased by Iran, by means of weapons dealers in Sudan and Chad, and were supposed to be smuggled to Hamas through Egypt, by means of the smuggling tunnels between Sinai ands Gaza.
The destruction of the weapons stores in southern Libya was carried out in coordination with the Egyptian security and intelligence apparatuses, the reports claimed.
Al Watan added that Egypt allowed the Israeli jet to pass through its airspace en route to southern Libya.
@ ArnoldHarris:
I agree with what you say. The counter culture of the sixties has become the culture of today with all the horrible consequences you mention.Just as conservatives,traditionalists and the religious can no longer fight this scourge the old fashioned way so too will Israel have to fight its enemies with new tactics. Forget the high moral ground that Israel prides itself on. You might be morally superior to your enemies but you don’t win battles that way and you get no thanks for it. Forget your allegiance to the USA whose government has just knifed you in the back and work with your Sunni allies in the MidEast. If this country cuts off its so called economic aid to Israel so much the better. Israel has paid too high a price for what it gets from this country. Welfare, whether national or international is a bad policy with bad results.
We now know that Western support of Israel either is turning into a mirage, or perhaps more accurately, always has been one. So the twin wars of ISIS and al Qaeda against the established Sun’a regimes and of Iranian-backed Shi’a gangs against the same Sun’a regimes, have combined to put Israel into the same camp with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Trans-Jordan.
The next step for Israel should be to try arranging some big-power protektsia from re-expanding Russia, with assistance from non-Islamic China and anti-Islamic India. Russia, I think, will be using its march to retake large parts of Ukraine and the partly Russian-populated Baltic states to pierce the NATO balloon and let all the hot air escape. China is in the midst of planning a vast railroad network uniting Asia with the Middle East and Europe, and is building what they claim will be the world’s largest navy.
And it looks fairly clear that nobody will be in position to stop them. When you have an industrialized population of one-fifth of the population of the world, you can act exactly the way the British, French, German, and American imperialists did back in the days when they controlled most of the power in the world. In fact, they will do whatever the hell they want, and nobody will stop them. That is exactly the side on which I want Israel to be part of.
It’s high time for the re-emerging Jewish nation to carefully study the way the world is, and drop all the stupid and meaningless pretense of being an example to them of how they ought to be. The population of our world is still growing, consuming resources that may well disappear, and life for the weak will grow steadily more ugly and even vicious.
The USA — once the leading and strongest society in the world is now steadily sliding downhill, and the social fabric of this society is not merely weakened, but becoming rotten to its very core. Much of this country not only is unemployed, but never again are likely to be able to find work of any kind. Border control is dead.
The Jews of this country mostly are turning to every attachment other than the Judaism of their great grandparents. And not just to the Christianity of their neighbors, but increasingly to sexual perversions in the name of so-called “gay” liberation, with homosexual “marriages” that the government here are jamming down our throats of public acceptance.
That, and steadily increasing use of recreational and habit-forming narcotics is becoming the regular social custom and even the amusement of young people. And the vaunted democracy of this society has become a charade masking the all but outright ownership of the process of selecting candidates for high public office, into the hands of a class of wealthy and power-hungry schemers.
You have to be an old-timer like me, who has lived in this land most of his life, to sense how thoroughly rotten everything in public life has devolved to in the United States during the 70 years since the end of the last and most terrible Great War.
Think all this over, fellow Jews, and act as though this were the last chance of the Jewish nation. Because I think it is just that.

Obama’s sellout of Israel is forcing Israel to go to war against it’s enemies.It won’t be an outright war nor will it be a conventional one. It will be up to Israeli ingenuity to confound Iran and its proxies with new military technology. Otherwise Israel will suffer.
Sisi and Bibi see eye to eye on these and other matters of import. No big surprise. Iran will be more challenging especially since enemy OBAMA is threatening to shoot down our planes transiting Iraq. Except we have a way around that. I am not worried because
I know the Iranian nuclear bomb building program will be damaged much worse then we are told. Then there will be an economic recovery, not before.
