Sirens alerted Gaza’s Israeli neighbors to a 35-rocket barrage fired in 10 salvos overnight Friday and early Saturday, April 23-24. Five were shot down by Iron Dome. The rest exploded on vacant ground causing no harm. The warning had come in a joint statement from Gaza-based Palestinian terrorist organizations in support of the street violence in Jerusalem mounted by Palestinian youths against Orthodox Jews, including an attempted lynching.
Early Saturday, the communities of the Eshkol, Sdot Negev, Shaar Henegev and Hof Ashkelon Councils were told to stay close to shelters as Israeli planes and tanks went into action against Hamas’ posts, rocket launchers and underground network. Civilians were advised to refrain from working in the fields or attending synagogue Saturday morning. The Zikkim beach was closed.
Some may recall the killing of Musa Arafat, Yasser Arafat s cousin, before the Hamas takeover of Gaza. The gangland-style assassination of General Musa Arafat – security advisor to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas and former head of PA Military Intelligence and the PA’s National Security forces in Gaza – on September 7, 2005, was another sign of the PA’s inability to impose law and order in the Palestinian areas since Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. In a pre-dawn raid, 100 heavily armed men from the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees opened fire on Musa Arafat’s Gaza home. Following a fierce thirty-minute shootout, the attackers overcame Arafat’s personal bodyguards, dragged him into the street, and shot him in the head.
Democrats should fight foreign conspiracies with the same seriousness they do QAnon Print this article
Democrats have thrown down the gauntlet on Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman and QAnon conspiracy theorist from Georgia.
Greene has dabbled in 9/11 conspiracy theories, questioned whether school shootings were staged, and suggested that a Jewish space laser started the California wildfires. She richly deserves the opprobrium she receives. My colleague Jonah Goldberg is right to state that the GOP has cancer. It can deal with it now, or later. Fringe representatives from both parties have long indulged in the morass of conspiracies. Anti-Masonic conspiracies long found fertile ground on Capitol Hill. Maxine Waters, for example, made a name for herself alleging the CIA was trafficking crack cocaine into American cities. Former U.S. representative Keith Ellison was an acolyte of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who suggested that Jews created homosexualit

Israel’s head of mission in Rabat took up his post on Tuesday, the Israeli foreign ministry said, under a deal to upgrade ties with Morocco, the fourth Arab country to forge relations with Israel in recent months.
Israel’s cabinet on Sunday approved the U.S.-brokered agreement reached last month with Morocco, which followed the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan in moving towards normal ties with Israel.
In a statement, the Israeli foreign ministry said the head of Israel’s liaison office in Rabat, Ambassador David Govrin, and his staff will work towards advancing “political dialogue, tourism, economy and cultural ties” with Morocco.
