1. ALMAGOR: DEATH PENALTY FOR SHALIT-DEAL MURDERERS
by Hillel Fendel

Almagor, a prominent terror-victims group that consistently leads the campaign against the release of murderous Palestinian terrorists, has called once again for the death penalty. The latest call is prompted by today's news that the kidnap-murder of the three youths several weeks ago was masterminded by a terrorist released in the Gilad Shalit deal nearly three years ago.
The Walla! news agency reported today, quoting Palestinian Authority security sources, that Mahmoud Ali Kawasmeh, a Hamas terrorist expelled to Gaza in the Shalit exchange, initiated the abduction and murder of Gilad Sha'ar (16), Naftali Frenkel (16) and Eyal Yifrah (19) on June 12. Kawasmeh is still at large, though his brother Hussam was arrested last week for participating in planning the attack. A third brother, Marwan, is said to have actually carried it out, together with an accomplice.
"The convoy of politicians and Shalit-deal publicists dashed towards the release of over 1,000 terrorists practically with glee," says Almagor Chairman Meir Indor, "while we begged them to stop before they reached the cliff. The heavy price we have paid for that mistake must be rectified with deeds, not with bombastic declarations. The State Prosecution must demand the death penalty for every terrorist freed for Shalit who commits another murder, including the murderer of Baruch Mizrachi."
Mizrachi, the father of five and the head of an important police department unit, was fatally shot by Ziyad Awad this year as he drove with his family to a Passover Seder in Kiryat Arba. Originally jailed for murdering Arabs he suspected of collaborating with Israel, Hamas member Awad was one of the 1,027 terrorists released in exchange for Gilad Shalit's freedom.
"Everyone involved in the Shalit deal must now make his way to the cemetery in Modiin," says Dr. Aryeh Bachrach of Almagor, "and ask forgiveness on the graves of the three youths who were abducted under the orchestration of this terrorist freed in the Shalit deal. Along the way, they can also stop at Mt. Herzl and similarly ask forgiveness from Baruch Mizrachi."
Murderers are executed in nearly 2/3 of the 50 states of the U.S., Â even if the murders are not motivated by terrorist hatred. Between 1976 and mid-2011, the state of Oklahoma put 111 criminals to death, the country's highest per-capita rate, while Texas had the second highest rate and the largest number of executions: 515.

 A Saudi Challenge to Israel

Â
The Saudi English-language newspaper Asharq al-Awsat published a thought -provoking op-ed regarding the latest round of Hamas's confrontation with Israel.Â
In an article titled No Longer an Arab-ÂIsraeli Conflict, Mamoun Fandy, opines that Hamas's attacks on Israel from Gaza is Iran's doing with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood and its champions Qatar and Turkey.Â
According to Fandy:
"The war in Gaza is the second stage of a process of change regarding the nature of what used to be called "the Arab-Israeli conflict." The first stage was the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, in which Iran, a non-Arab state, fought Israel in a proxy war via Hezbollah. The weapons, financing and training of Hezbollah is Iranian. In the recent conflict Iran has also backed both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as the leaders of both organizations, Khaled Mishal and Ramadan Shalah, who have consulted closely with Tehran. While Iran was the main player in the war of 2006, what is new this time around is that Turkey has been brought in, through an alliance with Qatar, as political backup for Hamas and as the regional sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The nature of the conflict has also changed from conventional warfare, where the armies of opposing states face each other on the battlefied, to asymmetrical warfare, where armies fight guerrilla battles against political movements in cities. The conflict that was between Arab states against Israel, and led to wars in 1948, 1967, and 1973, with the outcome of the latter leading to peace between Egypt and Israel, is no longer a reality. Israel's wars now are with movements such as Hezbollah and Hamas, not with Arab states, and the patrons of these movements-Iran and Turkey-are obviously non-Arab.
"Qatar, the only Arab country actively supporting Hamas, has been isolated from the rest of the Gulf states for the last three months, after Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain withdrew their ambassadors from Doha. ...
"The conflict is now regionalized at the geopolitical level, with Iran and Turkey directly involved through their backing Hezbollah and Hamas respectively. ...

3. Michele Bachmann Suggests Muslim Brotherhood To Blame For 9/11, Thanks Egyptian Military For Coup

Extracts:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) suggested the Muslim Brotherhood was behind the 9/11 attacks during a press conference in Egypt on Saturday.
"We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed here for the people in Egypt. We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed around the world," Bachmann said. "We stand against this great evil. We are not for them. We remember who caused 9/11 in America. We remember who it was that killed 3,000 brave Americans. We have not forgotten.'
Bachmann, accompanied by Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Steve King (R-Iowa), thanked the Egyptian military for the coup and crackdowns against the Muslim Brotherhood, which she called the "common enemy" of Egypt and the U.S. The Washington Post reports the video was apparently taken a few hours after meeting with coup leader General Abdel Fatah el-Sissi in Cairo.
"Together, we've gone through suffering. Together, the United States and Egypt, have dealt with the same enemy," Bachmann said. "It's a common enemy, and it's an enemy called terrorism."
Note: Hamas is in effect a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. ISIS is also an offshoot of it.
