By all accounts Steven Sotloff was a good man and no probative evidence has surfaced that the American was anything other than what he appeared to be. Caught up in Middle Easter politics for which few are prepared and fewer these days should feel confident about their personal security

It is long overdue for Lebanese politicians to grant Palestinian refugees the elementary civil rights to work and to own a home. They should and they are well advised do it now
Defense Secretary Chuck. Hagel put it. “Make no mistake—and this country should not make any mistake on this, nor anyone in Congress—this is a threat to our country,” Hagel said. “This is a force that is sophisticated, it’s dynamic, it’s strong, it’s organized, it’s well-financed, it’s competent.”
On the subject of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS (DAASH) Netanyahu expressed the intention of his regime to continue to promote internal strife in Israel’s neighboring states. “We must weaken both [Sunni and Shia Muslims],” Netanyahu said, restating his governments preferred policy to have Muslims continue fighting among themselves. “When your enemies are fighting each other, don’t strengthen either one of them, weaken both,” he told the American public.
ISIS appears uniformly contemptuous of the Zionist regime and its army and also appears eager to fight them in the near future despite expectation that the regime will use nuclear weapons.
“Do you think that we do not have access to nuclear devises? The Zionists know that we do and if we ever believe they are about to use theirs we will not hesitate. After the Zionists are gone, Palestine will have to be decontaminated and rebuilt just like areas where there has been radiation released.”
