When
Europe agreed to open its borders to Syrian refugees in response to one of
the greatest humanitarian crises of our age, officials assured the Western
world: we've got this. There will be no jihadists among them; and if there
are, we'll be sure they won't get in.
But
it wasn't exactly true. Jihadists, we now know, have been among
them. They have gotten through. And now those same officials are
starting to admit things might get even worse.

Is another Gaza war inevitable? Judging by the latest
reports in the Israeli media, it might seem that way. At a funeral for
seven Hamas militants killed in a tunnel collapse, Hamas' Gaza-based chief

killed 25,000 ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria, incinerated hundreds of millions
of dollars that ISIS had stolen from banks and seized from kidnappings and
extortion, forced it to cut salaries by a third, and taken back some
territory it had seized in Iraq and Syria, the terror group now had roots
in 15 countries and continued to expand its reach in Europe, North Africa,
and Afghanistan.
