From Ian:

"Begin on Saturday, Finish on Sunday"
The Islamists have now started on Sunday: the Christians are in their crosshairs, and when they have finished, the Islamists will return to Saturday and destroy the Jews. The Zionists in Israel understand the threats of radical Islam and its intentions for their country far better than the U.S. administration will ever be able to. The Jews do not fear to show their determination and willingness to fight a life-and-death battle for their continued existence; it is that determination which has made the Islamists avoid confronting them for the present and target the Christians instead.
What is unreal are the dictates America imposes on Israel, including the demand to release convicted murderers from jail and to reach an agreement with Mahmoud Abbas, who does not have the support of the Palestinian people. This approach will lead to a Hamas takeover of the West Bank and most likely then of Jordan; and it will destroy what is left of the Christian community in Bethlehem and east Jerusalem, whose members after the Oslo Accords and the withdrawal of Israel from the territories, were killed, raped and threatened into fleeing their homes.
Peace through martyrdom: Muslim Brotherhood leader poses as a liberal at 'Comment is Free'
Whilst Muslim Brotherhood-led attacks on Egypt's Christians, and the burning of churches, since the July coup alone makes a mockery of such claims, it's interesting to note that back in 2010, as one of two members of Egypt's delegation to the Gaza flotilla, Al-Baltaji was singing a different tune concerning peace, justice and the dignity of man.
Per MEMRI: "Al-Baltaji…said at a March 2010 conference, "A nation that excels at dying will be blessed by Allah with a life of dignity and with eternal paradise." He also said that his movement "will never recognize Israel and will never abandon the resistance," and that "resistance is the only road map that can save Jerusalem, restore the Arab honor, and prevent Palestine from becoming a second Andalusia."
MEMRI: Saudi Author: The Arabs Were Occupiers in Andalusia; We Should Reexamine our History Books


Al Jazeera America's First Guest: Conspiracy Theorist Stephen Walt
Walt rose to prominence as co-author of a conspiracy book about Jewish manipulation of American foreign policy and has been referred to by prominent liberal journalist Jeffrey Goldberg as someone who "makes his living scapegoating Jews."
AJA has boasted of the additional airtime it will provide guests such as Mr. Walt — AJA will not be "cluttering the news with commercials," said one executive — so that they may explore current events in a nuanced, balanced fashion.
Walt concluded his interview by noting that the only reason the United States provides aid money to Egypt is to placate the Jewish state.
Al-Arabiya General Manager Slams Qatar For Its Pro-Mursi Position
In an August 18 article titled "Why Is The Gulf Divided Over Egypt?," 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed, the general manager of Al-Arabiya TV and a columnist for the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, attacks Qatar for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which, he says, is pushing this country towards chaos and conflict. He points out that, in taking this position, Qatar has come out against all the other Gulf states – namely Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait – who realize that the Muslim Brotherhood poses a danger to Egypt and to the region at large.
Israel Security Official Meets Egyptian Counterparts in Cairo as Shin Bet Counts 15 Sinai Terror Groups, 4 Violent
Tuesday's meeting reflects the deepening collaboration between the two security forces over common trouble in the Sinai, where Israel's Shin Bet security service now counts 15 Salafist terror groups operating from the desert, with four seen as being especially violent, Israel's Haaretz daily reported, citing unnamed sources at the security agency.
Court orders Mubarak freed
An Egyptian court ordered Wednesday the release of ousted President Hosni Mubarak, but it is not yet clear if the ailing ex-leader will walk free after over two years in detention, officials said.
U.S. Denies Aid to Egypt Was Cut Off
President Barack Obama is expected to hold a Cabinet-level meeting to discuss the issue, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
"That review has not concluded and ... published reports to the contrary that assistance to Egypt has been cut off are not accurate," Earnest told reporters in a briefing.
Egypt PM says country can live without US aid
If the US does cut the $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt, the country could find other supporters, but it would be "a bad sign and will badly affect the military for some time," Beblawi said, noting that in the past "Egypt went with the Russian military for support and we survived. So, there is no end to life. You can live with different circumstances."
Saudis Warn the West: We Won't Forget Your Stance on Egypt
In a blunt warning to countries critical of the Egyptian military crackdown and considering suspending aid, longstanding U.S. ally Saudi Arabia suggested that the decisions they make now will have long-term consequences for their relationships in the Arab and Muslim world.
Saudi Arabia has led the way in supporting the Egyptian military's actions, first in removing the Muslim Brotherhood administration early last month and in its subsequent steps against supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi.
Top Brotherhood officials nabbed in continuing crackdown
The arrested Islamists include a preacher known for his fiery sermons at Muslim Brotherhood gatherings who was reportedly caught as he tried to flee to neighboring Libya in disguise, and a spokesman for Brotherhood said to be on his way to catch a flight out of the country.
Cairo's Jews support military's campaign
Haroun, the president of the Egyptian Jewish community, doesn't enjoy hearing anti-Semitic slurs on the street. She gets nervous when she hears Egyptians are burning the churches of Coptic Christians, a much larger religious minority than the country's tiny Jewish community. She assumes that most of her compatriots have forgotten there are any Jews left in Egypt.
Egyptian Catholic Church Leader Says Country in a 'War Against Terrorism'
The ongoing turmoil in Egypt "is not a political struggle, but a war against terrorism," the head of the Catholic Church in Egypt, Bishop Ibrahim Isaac Sidrak, Patriarch of Alexandria, said in a recent statement.
"With pain, but also with hope, the Catholic Church in Egypt is following what our country is experiencing: terrorist attacks, killings and the burning of churches, schools and state institutions," Bishop Sidrak said.
PA nabs man for selling 'Morsi perfume'
Bdair's brother, Abdel Fattah, said that the security agents stormed the family's shop in Tulkarem and confiscated all the Morsi perfume bottles, in addition to a computer. The shop specializes in selling locally made fragrances for men and women.
The PA leadership in the West Bank has come out in full support of the ouster of Morsi, hailing the Egyptian army for its crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood supporters
Egypt: We're Losing Patience with Turkey
Egypt warned Turkey on Tuesday that it was losing its patience, after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of being behind the removal of former President Mohammed Morsi by the Egyptian military.
The state news agency MENA quoted Egyptian ministers as having said that Erdogan's comments aimed to divide Egyptians.
"The cabinet stresses that Egypt's patience is wearing thin," the ministers were quoted as having said.
"Egypt does not share others' enmities, and is not about to go in search of a new identity. Its Arab and Islamic nature is obvious," they added.
U.S. Slams Erdogan's Allegations of Israel's Role Ousting Morsi
White House spokesman Josh Earnest also condemned Erdogan by saying the comments were "offensive and unsubstantiated and wrong."
Liberman says Turkish PM is successor to Nazi Goebbels
"Anyone who heard Erdogan's words, which were full of hate and incitement, understands without any doubt that we are talking about the successor to Goebbels, and his plotting is in the same vein as the Dreyfus trial and the Elders of Zion," Liberman said Wednesday, referring to two notorious instances of anti-Semitism.
Israel's UN Ambassador Slams Hezbollah's Nasrallah for Supporting 'Murderous Campaign Against the Syrian People'
"After years of stifling repression and brutal oppression, the people of the Middle East said enough is enough. Millions have poured into the streets from Benghazi to Beirut and from Tehran to Tunis. They have raised their voices for liberty, for democracy, and for opportunity," Ambassador Prosor said. "By far, the worst instance has been Bashar al-Assad's murderous campaign against the Syrian people."
Top Hezbollah Official: Israeli Cities to Be Attacked with Tens of Thousands of Missiles
Senior Hezbollah member Nabil Qaouk bragged today that the Iran-backed terror group is capable of saturation bombing Israeli population centers, bragging that Israeli cities were being targeted with tens of thousands of missiles.
Rebel forces report massive death toll after Syrian chemical attack
Syrian activists close to the country's opposition claimed hundreds of people were killed in a devastating "poison gas" attack by regime forces outside Damascus Wednesday.
The attack came as UN chemical weapons inspectors were beginning a probe of chemical weapon use in sites around Syria.
There were several differing reports on the numbers of dead. A Free Syrian Army source told Al Arabiya the death toll stood at 1,188, while the Local Coordination Committees said some 785 people were killed. A nurse at an emergency clinic in Douma told Reuters the death toll was at 213, and the head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 40 were confirmed dead and the death toll could reach over 200.
Syrian Palestinians pack Lebanon refugee camp
The Palestinians are a minority among the more than 600,000 Syrian refugees who have come to Lebanon. But their stateless status as lifelong refugees now forced to flee relatively secure lives in Syria has complicated the regional humanitarian crisis. The vast majority were born in Syria, descendants of parents and grandparents who left ancestral homes in what is now Israel.
Soon after arriving here, Rania and her family were joined by Rania's sister Riham and her husband, Ammar, who abandoned his lingerie shop on Damascus' Hamra Street.
While camp residents, including several relatives, have been welcoming, the Syrian Palestinians say the garbage-strewn squalor of this and other Palestinian camps in Lebanon has stunned them.
