		<description><![CDATA[Guess why the press isn't talking about it. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #232323;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/eviction-notice.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-244700" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/eviction-notice-428x350.jpg" alt="eviction-notice" width="344" height="281" /></a>Once more, Gaza&#8217;s border is in flames.</p>
<p>Civilians  are being evicted from their homes, a curfew has been imposed, and a crossing that enables Gazans to leave has been closed. Yet the world is silent. Isn&#8217;t that strange?</p>
<p>Hundreds of residents along one of Gaza&#8217;s borders have suddenly been ordered to evacuate, on just two days&#8217; notice. Their homes are to be demolished. There is no talk of compensation. Why isn&#8217;t the United Nations Security Council denouncing this outrage?</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Because it is Egypt, and not Israel, that is doing the evicting. (See the New York Times, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/29/world/middleeast/egypt-orders-evacuation-along-gaza-border-to-thwart-militants.html">October 28 edition</a>.)</p>
<p>The Egyptians have decided they need a buffer zone along their border with Gaza. They don&#8217;t trust the Hamas regime, which they say has been assisting terrorists who have been attacking Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai. Apparently Cairo does not accept the Obama Administration scripted fiction that the new Hamas-PA government is run by &#8220;technocrats.&#8221; Egypt understands that a Hamas-appointed &#8220;technocrat&#8221; is, first and foremost, a functionary of Hamas.</p>
<p>So the bulldozers are rumbling in Rafah. As a result of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty of 1979, the city of Rafah was split in half. Part of it is on the Gaza side of the border. Residents in the &#8220;Egyptian&#8221; part of town are now being evicted willy-nilly, in order to make room for a buffer zone that will be nine miles long, and with water-filled trenches that will be more than 500 yards wide &#8212; that&#8217;s half a kilometer, or five football fields.</p>
<p>Yet nary a word of protest from the White House, nor any suggestion of delaying any U.S. arms deliveries to Egypt.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not all. In response to the recent attacks in Sinai, the Egyptians have imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew all along the Egypt-Gaza border. In other words, no resident of Rafah can leave his or her home after dark, for any reason.</p>
<p>Yet Thomas Friedman has not written any columns in the New York Times with heart-rending stories about Rafah  women being forced to give birth in unsanitary conditions because they can&#8217;t travel to the local hospital after sundown.</p>
<p>Egypt has also shut down the only crossing along the Egyptian side of the Gaza border. With the passageway closed, no Gazan can get out.</p>
<p>So where are the snarky political cartoonists depicting Gaza as a Holocaust-era ghetto? Nor is Secretary of State John Kerry warning of Egypt becoming ostracized and isolated in the world. Western academics are not threatening to boycott their Egyptian counterparts. J Street is not lobbying for U.S. intervention against this new assault on Arab civilians.</p>
<p>Could the hypocrisy of the international community be any more blatant?</p>
<p>Evidently, if they genuinely cared about the well-being of the residents of Rafah, the White House would be holding up arms to Egypt &#8212; exactly as it held up Hellfire missiles to Israel. If he were sincerely concerned about Arab lives, Thomas Friedman would be blasting the Egyptians on the op-ed page of the New York Times. If they truly wanted to help the evacuees, J Street&#8217;s lobbyists would be working overtime to get the Obama Administration to intervene against Cairo.</p>
<p>But the truth is that they don&#8217;t really care about the welfare of Arab civilians at all, unless there is an opportunity to bash Israel. When Arabs are mistreated by their fellow-Arabs, the State Department and the pundits and the &#8220;peace camp&#8221; fall silent.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s all learn an important lesson from this experience. Israel and its supporters should stop worrying about the latest Thomas Friedman diatribe or the latest J Street conference or the latest unfriendly remarks by the Obama White House and the State Department. They will go on blaming Israel &#8212; and excusing Egypt and other Arab countries &#8212; no matter what. Nothing Israel does will ever satisfy them &#8212; so there&#8217;s no point in trying.</p>

<p><strong>[The picture above was taken by Pamela Geller. Visit her site at <a href="http://www.atlasshrugs.com/" target="_blank">www.AtlasShrugs.com].</a></strong></p>
<p>Park51’s Ground Zero Mosque project has been struck with three more blows over the past two weeks. First, it is being <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/evict_threat_for_mosque_lIbVwVeDv8FaBnnPEyuLmN">threatened</a> with eviction from part of its property. Then, developer Sharif el-Gamal was caught giving faulty receipts to reporters. And just now, it’s been <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/ratty_bldg_gripe_RrGghVZH8JYex0SLcBkweK">exposed</a> that al-Gamal is in violation of a court order and owes New York City tens of thousands of dollars. Victory can’t be declared yet, but this has been a very bad couple of months for Park51.</p>
<p>Part of the land slated to become the Ground Zero Mosque is a former substation owned by Con Ed, which Park51 is leasing. The two parties agreed to have the property appraised and rent raised, since the $2,750 Park51 was paying was set in 1972. The property was appraised at $10.7 million, so Con Ed raised the rent to $47,437 a month, requiring retroactive payment back to July 31, 2008. Con Ed told Park51 it must pay $1.7 million in back rent by October 4 or face eviction.</p>
<p>Park51 sued to temporarily prevent the eviction and a hearing is set for November 17. Park51 says Con Ed’s demands are “outrageous,” and it only owes $881,519 and the rent should only be $25,875 a month. If Park51 is ordered to pay the rent or surrender the property, the Ground Zero Mosque will be limited to the 5 stories that el-Gamal owns. He is already <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204479504576639680033890802.html">preparing</a> for such an eventuality, saying that some of the property might be turned into condos, hotels or offices. The Ground Zero Mosque will still be built, but will be a shadow of what he wanted it to be.</p>
<p>El-Gamal was previously <a href="http://www.aolnews.com/2010/09/15/ny-mosque-developer-getting-boot-in-rent-dispute/">evicted</a> from his offices in August 2010 for failing to pay $39,000 in rent. He’s also <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-12-03/local/27083078_1_credit-rates-ground-zero-citibank">being sued</a> by Citibank for almost $100,000. Former associates of el-Gamal are <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/08/oh-waiter-ground-zero-gamal-wont-answer-questions-about-his-real-estate-dealings.html">skeptical</a> about the sources of his wealth, especially in light of his extensive <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/08/28/2010-08-28_park51_developer_sharif_elgamal_has_a_history_of_runins_with_the_law.html">criminal record.</a></p>
<p>At the same time, el-Gamal has been <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/10/19/2011-10-19_mosque_honcho_provides_shady_proof_of_tax_pay.html">caught in a lie</a> to reporters who found out that he owed $30,000 in property taxes. He is supposed to make quarterly payments for $224,000 in taxes that weren’t paid last year. The <em>New York Daily News</em> found out that he didn’t make the required $30,000 payment by October 3. When el-Gamal was called, he said the check had been sent. He gave the newspaper an email receipt from the New York City Department of Finance supposedly showing that the payment was made on October 5.</p>
<p>About 30 minutes later, the Finance Department sent its copy of the payment receipt over to the newspaper. It had the same payment&#8212;but was dated October 18. Other reporters approached el-Gamal and found the same discrepancies.</p>
<p>On October 23, yet another scandal <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/ratty_bldg_gripe_RrGghVZH8JYex0SLcBkweK">emerged</a> when it was revealed that el-Gamal did not show up for a hearing on September 28 in regards to how he has failed to follow court order and address 366 housing-code violations at an apartment building he owns. The tenants repeatedly complained about the poor conditions they are living with. In addition, he owes New York City over $60,000 in taxes, fees and fines for that single building. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development sued and fined his company. The <em>New York Post</em> writes that if el-Gamal again doesn’t show up for the hearing on Thursday, October 27, he may be arrested.</p>
