20,000 more rounds of ammunition were stolen from an IDF base in the Negev overnight.
This theft is just the latest in what has become an embarrassing litany of such thefts of bullets and weapons from IDF bases all over Israel. There is no comment to make other than our IDF bases have little to no security and are treasure troves for terrorists.
Yesterday, in what can only be described as an incredible turn of events, the IDF began collecting weapons of all bases in the periphery–essentially leaving the soldiers stationed there defenseless and nearby civilian populations vulnerable.
As if to prove the point, a major incident is now in progress at the Nabatean Base in the Negev which is home to Israel’s stealth aircraft. About two hours ago, a car carrying unknown individuals managed to breach the security entrance to the base.
A manhunt is now underway being led by special forces (who presumably have weapons), but those in the vehicle have yet to be found.
Unbelievable.

Look closely at this small section of the memorial wall. Note the photographs on the blue signs affixed to the wall.
The entrance to the area is adorned with this sign:
Note the large sign on the left.
It reads: “Allahu Akbar! Death To America! Death To Israel! Kill The Jews! Victory To Islam!”
Is this the new Middle East that the Biden Administration seeks?
Apparently so.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
