Report: Hamas Attacks [From Gaza] About to Resume
Excerpts:
The first phase is to attack Israeli forces operating along the Gaza security fence. The escalation would be in the form of rocket fire. The attacks would be carried out by independent terrorist groups to relieve Hamas of the responsibility.

We learned in Parsha Balak that Bila’am’s scheme to seduce Jewish men to avodah zora by way of immorality (co-habitation) resulted in a plague which killed 24,000 Jewish men until Pinchas’ act brought the plague to a halt. However, Bamidbar, Perek 25, posuk 4 and 5 read;
And Hashem, said to Moshe: Take all of the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the Hashem in the face of the sun, that (there) may turn away the fierce anger of Hashem from Israel. And Moshe said unto the judges of Israel: Slay you every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Ba’al Peor.

Commentary:
The irony of the verdict in the case cited in the Miami Herald report below is all too obvious to rehash. The bottom-line is that while passing information bound by agreement between 2 “friendly” nations for the U.S. to provide American ally Israel and which was crucial to the security and survival of Israel (and which agreement was defaulted upon by the U.S.), landed Jonathan Pollard in prison for life, an ex-professor is handed a 4 year prison sentence for passing militay secrets to hostile nations; Iran and China:

The IRIS blog did a piece on Monday treating comments of Arab-American Joseph Farah in his World News Daily where he refers to the Obama administration’s so-called “balanced policy” towards Israel as inherently racist, and that it aims for ethnic cleansing of Jews from the historical Jewish homeland.
According to an Israeli daily Haaretz report, this is the atmosphhere and mindset into which defense minister Ehud Barak has walked in negotiating for a so-called “temporary construction freeze”. over the opposition of 3 of the 6 ministers of the “forum of six” ministers regarding construction in Yehuda and the Shomron:

The Jerusalem Post reports that Likud MK Danny Danon is calling for a boycott of the July 4 celebration at US Ambassador James Cunningham’s home and that a number of other Likud members have already approached telling him that they wouldn’t be attending:
The annual reception, held at the ambassador’s Herzliya Pituah residence, was described by at least one lawmaker as “a see-and-be-seen event,” to which politicians usually flock.
But this year, said MK Danny Danon who wrote the letter calling on other legislators to stay away from the gathering, “the majority of coalition members will not attend.”

In previous years when speaking about Parsha Balak, about Bila’am’s scheme to lure Jewish men to immorality and avodah zora, as well as connecting Pinchas’ action, in killing Zimri and Kosbi in the act of co-habitation before the Assembly, this author referred back to a posuk in Parsha Ki Tisa;
You shall annoint Aaron, his sons and their descendents as Kohanim…
But Pinchas was omitted by the posuk in Parsha Ki Tisa as he was born in Mitzrayim, before Yetziyot Mitzrayim, before Matan Torah, to Aaron’s son Elazar, heir to Aaron’s position of Kohen Godol. The Kohanic inheritance and lineage would only kick in after Matan Torah, thus by the annointment of Aaron and his sons, Pinchas Ben Elazar fell through the cracks.
