Reader comment on: Crucial Threat to Israel from Western Border
Submitted by A.T. Halmay, Aug 23, 2012 16:16
I would edit out the word "crucial." Knowing what we know of Mursi, a man who will act fast, the beefing up of forces in the Sinai means basically a reduction in timing of a potential strike by Egypt. Knowing this removes the inevitable drawn out arguments in the Knesset and Israeli press. There is only one thing to do, and that is to be fully prepared to hit them on their first wrong move. Israel simply has to bomb Iran, and it can't afford to wait until after the U.S. election. A well-timed strike on Iran would coincide with the date of Mursi's visit to Iran.

Fatah's Drive Against "Normalization"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Fatah activists who are threatening Palestinian teenagers for talking to Israelis and playing football with them are the same people who claim, at least in public, that they support the peace process with Israel. But how can there ever be a peace process when anyone who meets with an Israeli is immediately denounced as a traitor? It is worth noting that most of these denunciations are coming form the "moderate" Fatah, and not from Hamas.
The U.S. Role in the Sunni-Shi'ite Conflict
by Harold Rhode
America should back only pro-American forces who do not privately finance or publicly promote hatred against the U.S. It is in America's interest to rid the Muslim world of the Islamic fundamentalist forces whose goals and actions are inimical to American and Western interests; not to cozy up to them.
Growing Threats to Academic Freedom
by Edward S. Beck
Hawking's behavior is based on inaccurate, biased information. If he has insightful thoughts about resolving the Israeli-Palestinian issues, let him come and share them. Stating them at the conference is the way for them to have impact.
The Interfaith Racket: Passport to Credibility
by Douglas Murray
Because Ahmed was the first Muslim peer, most people were eager to do anything they could to cover for him, forgive him, reinstate him time and again – and even now are not able to believe the words that came from his mouth in Pakistan because they differed from the words that came from his mouth at interfaith meetings in London.
Muslims Demand Germany "Make Islam Equal to Christianity"
by Soeren Kern
Muslims attending the German Islam Conference were apparently offended by the insinuation that Islam could be radical or violent.
