Few things infuriate me more than the world’s silence as our Coptic Christian brothers and sisters continue being attacked by jihadists in Egypt. The global silence is shameful. Mariam Wahba

A massive mob has attacked the Coptic Christian community in the village of Al-Kom Al Ahmar.

Homes have been vandalized and burnt down. People have been assaulted

The mob was enraged by the news that the Christians had received a permit to build a church

Coptic villages in Egypt have been attacked 3 times in the past 48 hours, in the lead up to Easter.

The Sisi regime must protect this important minority. The Department of State must do the same.

About those campus protests…

My comments yesterday on the @fdd morning brief.

This guy used to work for Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), an organization convicted in an American court for providing support to Hamas.

Also, he is not a student.

Someone explain to me how American Muslims for Palestine is not behind this organized hate.

The part of the @fdd morning brief where ⁦Rep. Brian Mast⁩ talks about smacking down ⁦CODEPINK⁩. Figuratively speaking, of course.

2 killed in an IDF strike on a car in Lebanon. Targets said to be Hamas.

Live now

A quick observation about the campus protestors: They made a big mistake going south.

Southern schools are not having any of it.

School administrators refuse to allow for the unlawful disruption.

Northern coastal schools should take note of how things are done right:

With tensions high in the #MiddleEast , I'll give you all the headlines & analysis you need to start your day. I'm joined on the FDD Morning Brief by Rep. Brian Mast to talk about #Iran -backed proxies and #Israel from his perspective on the Hill. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Tune in, folks. Should be another good one:

Egypt really wants a hostage deal to prevent Israel from operating along the Philadelphi corridor, where the IDF is guaranteed to find Egyptian-operated tunnels.

If I had known that a GS-12 quitting government was headline news, I would have contacted all the wire services back in 2007.

I somehow missed my big 15 minutes of fame. So disappointing.

A Qatar-friendly NGO lobbied MEPs just before Qatar-gate began in 2022, went quiet and emerged again in 2024. In total 39 MEPs engaged with it somehow, without asking who's behind it.

Preliminary reports are suggesting that American and U.N. assets being used to construct an emergency pier in Gaza were targeted with mortar fire.

My full statement and more info can be found here:

Israel has apparently agreed to allow two former British officials, and one Israeli judge, to gain access to Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails.

I don't know if this is a win, in light of the fact that an estimated 100k Israelis can't return to their homes in the northern communities. But this is undeniably a significant achievement without even having declared war.

Pier for US-led project to bring aid to Gaza comes under fire…UNEXPECTEDLY! naharnet.com/stories/en/304…
