The IDF used tanks to mark the Star of David onto the floor of a training ground for the Hamas terror group's fighters in Gaza City. The tanks can be seen in footage shared today roaming across the soil with Israel flags on a battle-worn strip of land. They are then shown in a line pumping out blue and white smoke as the symbol is displayed. The formation, performed by fighters from the Golani Brigade in the Kativa outpost, was part of a ceremony in memory of comrades who have fallen since the start of the war, according to IDF...

An Israeli government ministry has reportedly drafted a wartime proposal to transfer Gaza's 2.3 million people to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. ABC Middle East correspondent Allyson Horn tells The World it's already causing much distress throughout the Arab world.

There Kahane formed the Kach Party and stirred nationalist fervor against Arabs, whom he campaigned to remove (violently, if necessary) from Israel and all Israeli-occupied areas. He won a seat in the Israeli Knesset (parliament) in 1984, but his term ended when Israel banned the Kach Party for its antidemocratic and racist beliefs. Back in New York, Kahane was shot to death by a naturalized American of Egyptian descent. His burial in Jerusalem was accompanied by mob violence and cries of “Death to the Arabs!”

A more detestable regime than Saudi Arabia could not be found. Arguably the most repressive regime on earth. An absolute monarchy. A Wahhabist theocratic nightmare that arms ISIS. Only North Korea may be worse, and North Korea does not put women in burqas or have any areas where female genital mutilation (FGM) is practiced. It is a close call.

There are churches in Iran, albeit persecuted. There are...

The only durable solution requires dismantling Gaza, humanitarian relocation of the non-belligerent Arab population, and extension of Israeli sovereignty over the region. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.... You ask, what is our policy?
