Everything you need to know about today’s coverage of Israel and the Mideast. Join the Israel Daily News Stream on Facebook.
Today’s Top Stories:
1. After Reuters reported that Egypt planned to send tanks and aircraft into the Sinai to fight jihadis, Jerusalem sent a protest to Washington. The buildup wasn’t coordinated with Israel. The Times of Israel explains the objections:
Israeli officials are concerned that Egypt may use the operation against the terrorist groups as a way of building its military strength in Sinai that is otherwise severely limited under the 1979 peace agreement.
Having gained access, Cairo may leave the tanks and armored carriers in place, while taking little more than symbolic action to curb the terrorist threat.
2. The leader of Austria’s right-wing party is catching flak for posting an anti-Semitic cartoon on Facebook. Evoking classic Nazi imagery, the cartoon depicts Jewish bankers being fed fancy food by “the government” while a hungry person labeled “the people” looks on. Note the banker’s hooked nose and Star of David cufflinks.
Heinz-Christian Strache later replaced it with a different version: the banker’s nose is smaller, the Jewish stars are gone, and the labels are in English . . .
3. US authorities seized $150 million from the Lebanese Canadian Bank, which is charged with money laundering for Hezbollah. Reuters explains how the scheme worked:
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration accused bank officials of knowingly participating in a scheme in which money from various individuals and companies in Beirut was sent from Lebanon to purchase used cars in the United States. The cars were then sold in West Africa, and Hezbollah-linked groups would help smuggle the proceeds into Lebanon, authorities said.

This skinny dipping is a non issue to divert attention from serious issues:
Arab murderous plans and schemes. Illegal infiltration through our borders of dangerous aliens, intentional democratic party voter fraud, Fast & Furious arming of criminals in Mexico, Obama and his cronies really losing, undermining America’s military, destroying our health system, huge taxes to make the world dependant on American aid… the list goes on. We must keep bringing the real issues to the foreground.

As GOD is my witness, I don’t understand what has to do the White House Muslim lover
with EGYPT invading the SINAI under this stupid pretense and why hasn’t ISRAEL itself
stopped it, unless the Brotherhood agent at the White House informed OBAMA and he
has given it the green light, assuring it of his cooperation to keep Israel quiet as HIS
MASTER’s VOICE…
Coincidences, coincidences….
How come the alleged attacks didn’t happen while MUBARAK was in power and it only
started when OBAMA pulled the rug from under his feet, as JIMMY WHO did to the SHA ?
Interesting, right ?????
As in the old Spanish proverb, “Think evil and you’ll hit it right”

Why be surprised?
From Obama’s “Audacity of Hope”

This is the most important step forming a new ring of encirclement around Israel. The White House will scream at Egypt but will do nothing. When you add Iran, Hezbolla with it’s unbelieveable rocketry, you can see how the squeeze is moving against the Jewish State. Israel must strike immediately to prevent Holocaust II.
