The controversial New Israel Fund and its social change and political lobbying organization known as SHATIL, have received more than $1 million from the State Department under a program designed to create political change, reform, and activism in the Middle East. The government program, Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), has extended more than $600 million in grants to political and social activists and reformers in 18 Middle East countries, mainly with unstable or challenged political environments in need of democratic improvement. “MEPI supports organizations and individuals in their efforts to promote political, economic, and social reform in the Middle East and North Africa,” according to the agency’s official self-description.

Blocked

STOCKHOLM – The Swedish foreign minister accused Saudi Arabia of blocking her speech at an Arab League meeting Monday due to her stance on human rights in the region, Swedish media reported.

“The explanation we have been given is that Sweden has highlighted the situation for democracy and human rights and that is why they do not want me to speak,” Foreign Minister Margot Wallstroem told news agency TT in Cairo.

“It’s a shame that a country has blocked my participation.”

An Arab diplomat confirmed that Riyadh had stopped the Swede from making her opening speech.

Wallstroem had been invited as an honorary guest to the Arab ministers’ meeting in praise of her government’s decision to recognise Palestine in October.

“There are 3,000 Europeans in Iraq and Syria today. When you do a projection for the months to come, there could be 5,000 before summer and 10,000 before the end of the year,” Valls told French television channel iTele.

“Do you realise the threat that this represents?” he asked.

He said there were around 1,400 people who were either already in these conflict zones, who had come back from there or who were planning to go.

“There have already been nearly 90 French people who have died out there with a weapon in their hand, fighting against our own values,” Valls said.

  1. @ 1 – More proof Obama is working to destroy all of the west.

    @4 – The only surprising thing is that the numbers aren’t smaller, the Moslem colonists are working hard to take over the entire world but are facing problems at home that require their presence fighting at home.

    @6 Carvelle tries to defend Hillary saying the current mess on emails and Benghazi are not real scandals.

    The two were detained during a pre-dawn raid and were of Spanish nationality but with Moroccan origins.

    A statement released by the Interior Ministry said the arrests were part of an ongoing anti-terrorist operation that saw four members of the same jihadist cell arrested in January.

    Those held on Tuesday morning “formed part of a terrorist cell that was fully prepared and ready to attack on national territory,” said the statement.

    4/ I bet the numbers are much higher

    • When Dersh uses Zakaria as a foil, you know he’s being lazy. His points are good, though. He doesn’t even hint that this administration is intentionally betraying this country and Israel intentionally. Keeping his powder dry.

  6. EGYPT – Belly dancer Safinaz to face trial over Egyptian flag costume

    Safinaz could face a year in jail for wearing a costume fashioned from an Egyptian flag

    Egypt-based Armenian dancer Sofinar (popularly known as Safinaz) was referred on Tuesday to the misdemeanor court on charges of “insulting the Egyptian flag.”

    A businesswoman and hotel owner in Mohandessin filed a report against the dancer for wearing a costume fashioned from the Egyptian flag during a performance in Ain Sokhna.

    Earlier in March, police arrested Safinaz for questioning over the incident. She was released the same day after paying LE20,000 ($2,620) bail.

    A law passed in June 2014 imposed jail terms and fines on anyone who ‘insults’ the flag.

    Insults include raising, displaying or trading a flag if it is damaged, faded or not suitable in any other way. It is also prohibited to add slogans, designs or pictures to the flag.

    If convicted, Safinaz faces a jail term of up to a year and a fine of up to LE30,000 ($4,000).

    Safinaz has been an immediate success since her arrival in Egypt over two years ago, with appearances in several Egyptian movies as well as performances at prestigious weddings.

    During her appearances on several talk shows, the dancer stressed her love for Egypt.

    She is married to an Egyptian and has expressed her wish to spend her entire life in Egypt.
