There was another article posted today about a “Bedouin” attack on the MFO North Camp in the Sinai. Something that has not happened before.

A report I just heard said that the UN peacekeeper camp was overrun, and there’s now a jihadi black flag flying there.

These are the fruits of apology and retreat and lack of confidence in our own principles.

Yes. Not mentioned in American media.

I would not have know about this except for reading the threads here on FR.

Link? I’ve read conflicting reports- per CNN this afternoon there was a minor scuffle but the Wonderful Muslim Brotherhood Government has it all under control.

This was a second-hand report from the John Batchelor show. That goes along with previous reports of trouble in the Sinai. There also was a mention of trouble on the Temple Mount, but I have not seen anything about that anywhere else.
