4. Israel to ‘Overthrow Hamas Infrastructure’ in Judea and Samari
Israel will seek to deal a crushing blow to Hamas’s infrastructure in Judea and Samaria following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, army radio reported on Monday.
Plans to move against the Islamist terrorist movement were discussed at a meeting of the security cabinet convened by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at which ministers discussed punitive steps against Hamas which Israel says is behind the kidnapping of three teenagers, media reports said.
Following the meeting, which lasted around 90 minutes, political sources said Israel would “attempt, in the coming hours and days, to try and overthrow Hamas infrastructure in the West Bank,” the radio’s political correspondent reported.
5. Ezra Levant did a great piece on Hillary Clinton with the original clips where she claims that a Youtube Video was to blame for the attack on the US embassy in Libya. Its good to see her do that bare faced lie directly again. Obama’s also. He also quotes ISIL’s new rules for women. Think we will hear any cries from feminist groups? Neither do I.

Italy warns Mediterranean migrant rescues may end (BBC, June 16, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27878346
“Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has warned that a naval operation to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean Sea may have to come to an end without EU intervention. Speaking in Sicily, he said Italy would not allow people to die but could not continue to patrol Libya’s coast.
Shortly after he spoke, a Kuwaiti oil tanker arrived in Sicily carrying another 356 migrants. The body of a Syrian who had died on the journey was reportedly on board. At least 39 people drowned some 65 km (40 miles) off Libya at the weekend after an overloaded, inflatable boat capsized while trying to cross to the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The Italian navy rescued another 39 people but there are fears the number of people who died is far higher….”
Iraq conflict: US deploys 275 ‘military personnel’ (BBC, June 16, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27875053
“Up to 275 US “military personnel” are being sent to Iraq to provide security for the US embassy in Baghdad and other personnel, the White House says. It says that the personnel will assist the temporary relocation of some staff from the US embassy in Baghdad.
Fighters from the militant Sunni group ISIS have seized a number of Iraqi towns and cities in the past week.
Separately the US says it is willing to discuss with Iran what measures can halt the advance of ISIS rebels. However correspondents say that American officials have been quick to dismiss reports of military collaboration.
Speaking on Monday to Yahoo News, Secretary of State John Kerry said that Washington would “not rule out anything that would be constructive” while emphasising that any liaison with Iran would be conducted on a “step-by-step” basis…”
1/ Terrorists act tough. This kid, Mohammad Zoabi, IS tough.
He’s the nephew of psychotic Arab MK Hanin Zoabi!
“A video has emerged of an Arab teenager from Nazareth condemning the Palestinian Authority as a terrorist organization and calling on the kidnappers of three Israeli Jewish teens to free them immediately. What makes the video even more unusual is that it was made by Mohammad Zoabi, the 16-year-old relative of controversial Arab MK Hanin Zoabi.”
[…]
“To Bibi (Benjamin Netanyahu), our prime minister and his government – wake up and stop cooperating with terrorists,” Mohammed says in the video. “The Palestinian Authority is the biggest terrorist. Two days ago, these Israeli kids were kidnapped. Tomorrow, it could be me, you or any other Israeli. Our enemies don’t separate between Arabs and Jews living in Israel. For them, we are all one, for them we are all Israelis. And you know what? I am proud about that – I am an Israeli and I will remain an Israeli. And again, you better bring them back. Israel is here to exist as Jewish and as a democratic country. Am Yisrael Chai (The nation of Israel lives).”
Get the story, then pray for this kid: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4530956,00.html

#1 – Threats against Israeli Arab teen who slammed kidnapping
Police arrest 3 relatives of Mohammad Zoabi, 17, who posted pro-Israel video; MK Hanin Zoabi, another relative, says kidnappers aren’t terrorists
Police arrested three men Tuesday for threatening their relative, an Arab Israeli teen who, in a strikingly pro-Israel video posted online, wraps himself in an Israeli flag and expresses solidarity with three kidnapped Israeli youths.
In the video, uploaded to YouTube earlier this week, 17-year-old Mohammad Zoabi of Nazareth called for the release of the three teens, affirmed his own identity as an Israeli, and urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop negotiating with Palestinian terrorists.
Another relative, the controversial MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad), distanced herself from his comments Tuesday and said that, contrary to his assertion, the kidnappers were “not terrorists.”
“Three members of a Nazareth family were arrested on suspicion of threatening to harm a son from the family, 17, after he showed solidarity for the three kidnapped youths in a movie uploaded to a social network,” the police said in a statement.
The three who were arrested range in age from 40 to 60, and the youth’s mother was also called in for questioning, the Ynet news site reported. Due to the nature of the threats against him, police and the Ministry of Education decided to place a security detail on Zoabi and around his high school, Army Radio reported.
[…]The video has garnered thousands of responses online, many of them extremely negative, offensive and threatening.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/threats-against-israeli-arab-teen-who-slammed-kidnapping/
Family members say he’s become increasingly “erratic”, far outside the normal range for teens in an identity crisis. He’s at an age when schizophrenia begins to manifest clinically. They’re so worried they want to commit him for observation to a [Arab] mental hospital.
Oh dear…
Saudi ‘responsible’ for militant financing: Iraq cabinet
Saudi Arabia should be held responsible for militant financing and crimes committed by insurgent groups in Iraq, the Baghdad government charged on Tuesday.
Comments from Riyadh indicates it is “siding with terrorism”, the cabinet said in a statement issued by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s office.
“We strongly condemn this stance,” the statement read.
“We hold it (Saudi Arabia) responsible for what these groups are receiving in terms of financial and moral support.”
It continued: “The Saudi government should be held responsible for the dangerous crimes committed by these terrorist groups.”
The statement came just days after Saudi Arabia and Qatar blamed “sectarian” policies by Iraq’s Shiite-led government against the Sunni Arab minority for the unrest that has swept the country.
The unrest “could not have taken place if it was not for the sectarian and exclusionary policies implemented in Iraq over the past years that threatened its stability and sovereignty,” the Saudi government said in a statement.
In March, Maliki accused both Saudi Arabia and Qatar of supporting terrorism in Iraq.

Sri Lanka religious riots spark international concern
[…]Local community leaders accused authorities of doing little to prevent Sunday night’s carnage that made hundreds of Muslims homeless after attacks on their homes, shops, factories, mosques and even a nursery.
“Three deaths have occurred and 78 people have been seriously wounded in the mob attacks… Places of Muslim religious worship have also been attacked with total impunity,”
[…] The UN human rights chief Navi Pillay expressed concern that the religious riots could spread to other areas of Sri Lanka and demanded that Colombo immediately bring the perpetrators of Sunday’s attacks to justice.
“The government must urgently do everything it can to arrest this violence, curb the incitement and hate speech which is driving it, and protect all religious minorities,” Pillay said in a statement issued in Geneva.
The United States, which has led international condemnation of Sri Lanka’s human rights record, had also urged Colombo to end the violence.
[…] The attacks are the latest in a series of religious clashes to hit the island following unrest in January and also last year when Buddhist mobs attacked a mosque in the capital Colombo.
BBS leader, Buddhist monk Galagodaatte Gnanasara, is currently on bail after being arrested in May on a charge of insulting the Koran.

Turkey opposition accuses govt of protecting ISIS militants
Lawmakers from Turkey’s main opposition party have accused the government of protecting jihadist militants after a photograph surfaced of an ISIS commander being treated in a Turkish hospital for injuries sustained while fighting in Syria.
Two lawmakers from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) have accused the government of protecting and cooperating with jihadist militants from al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The lawmakers allege that the government sought the militants’ support in its struggle against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK.
CHP Deputy Parliamentary Group Head Muharrem ?nce has asked Ankara for an explanation after a photograph emerged showing ISIL commander Abu Muhammad allegedly receiving free treatment in Hatay State Hospital on April 16, 2014, after being injured in fighting in Idlib, Syria. The photograph circulated widely on the internet following ISIL’s assault on the Iraqi city of Mosul last week.
CHP Istanbul deputy ?hsan Özkes claimed militants from al Nusra Front, an al Qaeda splinter group, were allowed to stay at the guesthouses of Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet) under the monitoring of the National Intelligence Organization (M?T) in Hatay province.

U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid
U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials.
The officials said Ahmed Abu Khattala was captured near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI, following months of planning, and was now in U.S. custody “in a secure location outside Libya.” The officials said there were no casualties in the operation, and that all U.S. personnel involved have safely left Libya.
Khattala’s apprehension is a major victory for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for having failed so far to bring those responsible for the Benghazi attacks to justice.
One jubilant official called Khattala’s capture “a reminder that when the United States says it’s going to hold someone accountable and he will face justice, this is what we mean.”
The Washington Post learned about the capture Monday but agreed to a request from the White House to delay publication of a story because of security concerns.
Last year, the U.S. Attorney in the District filed charges against Khattala and at least a dozen others in connection with the Benghazi attacks. None besides Khattala — who is expected to be arraigned in Washington — has been apprehended.
Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity about the still-secret operation, would not say where Khattala was being held. They said he was “en route” to the United States, but would not say when he was expected to arrive.
Officials who confirmed Khattala’s capture declined to comment on whether others were apprehended with him, or to describe the specific military or law enforcement units that were involved.
Failure to make arrests in the Benghazi case was seen as an enormous frustration for the FBI, and a subject of sharp criticism from lawmakers. Within weeks of the attacks, and sporadically thereafter, Khattala was interviewed by American reporters in the open in Benghazi, where he said he did not participate in the initial assault on the Benghazi compound but came on the scene as it was ending.
In a June 11 hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director James Comey testified: “I take the Benghazi matter very, very seriously. It is one that I am very close to—briefed on a regular basis. One we are putting a lot of work into and that we’ve made progress on.”
“One thing you’ve got to know about the FBI, we never give up,” Comey said. “So sometimes things take longer than we’d like them to, but they never go into an inactive bin.”
Believed to be in his 40s, Khattala was imprisoned for many years by the Gaddafi regime for his Islamic views.
The FBI believes other groups were also involved in the Benghazi attacks and is pursuing criminal charges against several individuals, including Abu Sufian bin Qumu, the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in the Libyan city of Darnah. Qumu has also been designated a terrorist by the State Department, as has his group.
In 2007, Qumu was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and sent to Libya, where he was detained. Gaddafi’s government released him in 2008.
The Benghazi attacks and their aftermath have been the subject of ongoing controversy. A volatile political issue, Benghazi has already influenced initial skirmishing over the 2016 presidential election, particularly for Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Obama’s secretary of state at the time of the attacks.
Republicans have charged the White House with failing to secure the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, attempting to cover up what actually occurred on the night of the attacks, and mishandling the subsequent investigation. After numerous hearings and an official State Department review, a select committee has been set up in the House of Representatives to investigate further.

Top Oslo imam wounded in axe attack
The imam of Oslo’s main mosque was recuperating in hospital on Tuesday after a masked assailant repeatedly hacked him with a small axe or knife in the centre of the Norwegian capital.
Police on Tuesday said they were treating the attack as a murder attempt, but stressed that they did not yet know whether the attack was a hate crime carried out by anti-Islamic extremists, or somehow tied up to his position at the mosque.
Shah was attacked after he left his home 50 metres from the mosque to go and lead the evening prayers. When he did not show up, those gathered to pray tried calling his mobile phone and raised the alarm when he did not answer. By that time, he had already been able to crawl back into his home, where he was picked up by an ambulance.
The mosque has been both the focus of internal conflict within the Muslim community, and attacks by far-right, anti-Islamic extremists. Last September, a pig’s head was left outside the mosque on Friday, the day most Muslims go to pray. The same month, another of Oslo’s mosques, The World Islamic Mission mosque, received an email threatening a campaign of mosque-burning across Norway.
During a dispute over the leadership of the mosque in 2006, four Muslim men attacked the congregation with a cricket bat, hammer, and knives during prayer time, injuring four people.
