Gen. Martin Dempsey
• Plenty of commentaries trying to make sense of Gen. Patrick Dempsey’s remarks about not being “complicit” in an Israeli attack on Iran.
- A NY Post staff-ed accuses Obama of leaving Israel dangling.
- Haaretz’s Chemi Shalev says the US is goading Israel to attack.
- Is Jeffrey Goldberg’s confidence in Obama wavering?

• Worth reading: It says a lot about Egyptian anti-Semitism that Mohammed Morsi won’t even mention Israel by name. The Daily Telegraph‘s Jake Walls Simpson writes:
From the Egyptian perspective, Lieberman’s invitation will be perceived as a provocation. Morsi’s reluctance to say the word “Israel” points to a deeply ingrained anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sentiment that is widespread in Egyptian society; were he to appear to have a reasonable stance towards the Jewish state, his popularity at home would have plummeted. This is the case throughout much of the Muslim world. In this context, Lieberman’s apparent olive branch will be seen as nothing short of inflammatory.
• Morsi appoints new ambassador to Israel. Atef Salem, who once served as Egyptian consul in Eilat, will present credentials to Shimon Peres in October.

• Who needs E.L. James when you can read the Daily Mail? Saif al-Islam Gadaffi’s last girlfriend — an Israeli actress — made a plea to save his life. Gadaffi faces the death penalty in Libya for his role in the deaths of Libyan protesters.But Orly Weinerman raising her profile may be another nail in Gadaffi’s coffin: Libyans don’t like Israel.
• Two Palestinians killed as Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus is shelled. More at Maan News.

• Facebook bans Nasrallah’s birthday: page shut down after 7,000 people joined the event.

Remind Hanan Ashrawi that the reason there rare so many Masri/Misri families in Gaza because they were scampering home in 1948 and stranded by the dastardly Egyptian government; so they are not refugees because they were returning to their homeland.
Ditto the Mugrabis and Maghrebis whose families aboriginal roots were in what at the time was French North Africa; also Sirhan Sirhan which wadi runs down the Saudi side of Jordan’s Eastern frontier and the Taraboulsis from Tripoli – but whether Tripoli in Lebanon or Libya is as obscure as the truth in an Arab hashish cafe.

Unfortunately, the Washington Post article on Migron labels it an illegal outpost, implying that the residents were crazy religious zealots who stole the land. In fact, if I have the correct information, Migron was authorized by the Sharon (?) government. Nothing underhanded about it.

It is okay for the PA, Fatah, Hamas to put rocks and guns in childrens hands, a violation of UN law, and they are never censored. When I have raised the issue in the past, especially when Children Armies are under intense scrutiny in Africa there is only silence. So the world governed by amorality or dictated to by Shariah Law advocates Muslim children martyrs but not others? The Australian news piece is so bigotted and slanted against the IDF it makes me wonder what the soldiers were paid or if they are merely the malcontent or even if they are or were soldiers..
