Israel's readiness to deal with a chemical weapons attack is hampered by the fact that more than one-third of the population does not have gas masks.

Israel is inadequately prepared for a possible chemical weapon attack, according to the Homefront Defense Ministry's recently released annual report.

"As of 2012, the readiness level of government office and state authorities for an unconventional weapon attack stands at low-medium," the report said. It said Israel faces a high risk of a terrorist chemical attack and a medium risk of a radiological attack.

On May 27, the Homefront Defense Ministry, Israel Defense Forces Homefront Command and local authorities are scheduled to carry out a drill on dealing with a chemical attack. The exercise will include two sirens being sounded throughout the country, one around noon and the other in the evening. It had been scheduled to take place in the beginning of the month, but due to tensions on the Syrian border, a result of what foreign reports have said were two Israeli airstrikes in Syria, the exercise was delayed....

The Middle East is on fire. More than 80,000 people have been killed in Syria's brutal civil war. Chemical weapons are being used against civilians. Scud missiles are raining down onto population centers. Jordan is drowning in a tidal wave of war refugees. Jihadists are on the march across the region. Sectarian violence is claiming up to 50 people a day in Iraq. The death toll last month was more than 700 -- "the highest since the dark days of summer 2008," as Lt. Col. Joel Rayburn recently reported. Encircled by enemies and buffeted by chaos, Israel appears to be on its own. And as the Middle East burns, America sits on the sidelines -- not helpless but rather care-less. The White House just doesn't seem to care.

For those of us who were listening as Barack Obama began his endless campaign, this comes as no surprise. An America detached and disengaged is exactly what he advertised....

In 1988, an FBI informant inside the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood network warned that it had a front called the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). The IIIT leadership, the source reported, said they were in the first of six phases to “institute the Islamic Revolution in the United States.” Their current objective was to “peacefully get inside the United States government and also American universities." And they have.

The source warned that the Muslim Brotherhood in America has “unlimited funds” and has “set up political action front groups with no traceable ties to the IIIT or its various Muslim groups.” The source’s identification of IIIT as a front is verified in a 1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood memo. The Brotherhood itself lists IIIT as number 28 of “our organizations and the organizations of our friends,” working toward the Brotherhood’s self-defined goal, which it says is a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.”

IIT’s Director of Academic Outreach from 1984 to 1994  was Sayyid Syeed, a founder and former secretary-general of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Footage from 2006 shows him saying, “Our job is to change the Constitution of America” (you can view it in The Grand Deception)....

U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that another round of Israeli airstrikes could target a new Russian transfer of advanced anti-ship missiles in the near future. Israeli and Western intelligence services believe the Yakhont missiles, which have been sold by Russia to Syria in recent years, could be transferred to Hezbollah within days, the newspaper reported on its website Friday.

At the same time, The New York Times reported Friday that the Yakhont missiles have already been delivered to Syria’s armed forces. Israel has repeatedly reinforced, with words and actions, its stated red line: that it will not allow the transfer of “game-changing” weaponry to Islamic terror groups such as Hezbollah. Israel has also relayed messages that it is not seeking a confrontation with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, but will act against transfers of weaponry through his territory.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s last-minute trip to Russia on Tuesday apparently did not change the Russians’ intentions to also deliver the advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Syria. According to the Journal, U.S. officials believe that Russia is moving more quickly than previously thought to deliver S-300 surface-to-air defense systems to Syria. U.S. officials told the paper that the S-300 system, which is capable of shooting down guided missiles and could make it more risky for any warplanes to enter Syrian airspace, could leave Russia for Syrian port of Tartus by the end of May....
