• Two Iranian warships docked at Port Sudan. CNN reports they’ll stay for the long term as Iran boosts its presence at the Red Sea’s entrance.

• Ambassador Michael Oren talked about Syria’s chemical weapons with Fox News. Interestingly, Fox adds that Israeli and American red lines may not be the same:
Israel’s so-called “red line” is different than the United States’. While Israel considers the “red line” to be the movement of chemical weapons to extremist groups, the Obama administration has said lately that its trigger for action would be any move by Syrian President Bashar Assad to use the weapons against the Syrian people.
• Morsi gives army arrest powers before vote
• Via CiF Watch, A staff-ed in The Guardian threw the paper’s support behind Mohammed Morsi’s power-grab. Moving that far to the left prompted two Comment is Free contributors — Rachel Shabi and Jack Shenker — to disassociate themselves from it. If the paper moves any further to the left, it’ll be off the charts.
• Christian Science Monitor: Signs point to an “incremental” regime retreat to the Alawite enclave in the Syrian coastal mountains. This isn’t about creating a non-member observer “statelet.”
The chief motivation for retreating to the mountains in the first place is self-preservation rather than state-building . . .

Did Meshal say “Not an inch!” in a genuine Ian Paisley intonation?

Destructive words towards Israel came from Mashaal during his visit to Gaza. As he left Gaza, his words, once again, told of his true intentions to eradicate Israel. With the ongoing reuniting attempts of both Mashall and Abass in Egypt, and the recent declaration by Abass that the 25th anniversary of the PLO will be allowed in the West Bank by Hamas, serious indications of a negative escalation continue. We shall see what comes of the events of this anniversary on Thursday. Netanyahu is the only leader to meet the challenge of facing both Meshaal and Abass. During these times Israel cannot afford to lower its guard or give “an inch,” as Mashaal expects. Israel must stand firm!

Why do we hear no voices in the media to protest Mashaal’s negativism towards Israel? Hamas and Iran voice direct criticism; Abass silently supports their words through his actions. Israel is harshly criticized for expansion building, yet the world is silent about Hamas’ refusal to talk to Israel in the past four years. We gave land for peace; we have restrained ourselves in taking complete action against those who want to detsroy us. Afarfat’s intentions of wiping out Israel now grows stronger in his movement. While Israel does not stand alone, it will need to be stronger and more resolute than ever.

International newspaper and TV photographers who have nothing better to do than to instigate or wait for an adverse photo-opportunity should have their licence to be in Israel withdrawn. That, or hanging as an example to others who might be tempted to carry out such mischief. Any officer ordering his troops to withdraw and not to attack (being the best way of defence) should be court marshalled and striped of his rank and put in solitary for cowardice in the face of the enemy. It has done irreparable harm
