  1. Saudi makes “humiliating” video of ruins of destroyed Jewish community in Khybar

    Arab media is showing this video an aerial view of the ruins of Khybar, the Jewish city that Mohammed defeated: [I can’t embed it, see link.]

    The text accompanying the story on some sites says “Do you think that the Jews forgot this humiliating exit? They do not have the ambition to return, but there is no fear on the lands ruled by the House of Saud.”

    Arabs naturally think that Jews obsess over their military defeats – because that is what Arabs do.

    Arabs naturally think that Jews are pining to wreak vengeance and re-take the lands that were once theirs – because that’s what Muslims are taught.

    Jewish kids don’t learn about Khybar in school. They aren’t taught about their “humiliating” defeat. There are literally thousands of things that are more important to teach.

    Arabs like to taunt Jews with the chant “Khybar, Khybar O Jews, the army of Mohammed will return.” But the average Jew would not even get the reference. The battle is irrelevant in the scope of Jewish history.

    And the Arabs simply cannot understand that.

    There really is a difference between how Arabs think and how Jews think.

    Why Arabs and Muslims will not accept Israel as the Jewish State

    https://www.algemeiner.com/2018/01/19/why-arabs-and-muslims-will-not-accept-israel-as-the-jewish-state/#

    • difference between how Arabs are taught to think and Jews are taught. Muslims seem to think that the “Jewish Prophet” is Moses, a warrior who conquered Pharon. If it is anyone, Jews are taught that the first monitheists are Abraham, who somehow received insight from Adam.

      • Correction: Muslims are taught that the Jews’s “Prophet” is Pharoah (“Pharon”); Jews are not taught about any first prophet, other than a chain of revelation with a singular deity who introduces himself to Moses with a new name, the Ever-present (-ehoavah).

    • “Do you think that the Jews forgot this humiliating exit?

      Does anyone in their right mind think that Jews have subsumed such a momentous, historic life-lesson as Khybar into (what Muslims hope will be) a more general and coarse-grained map of typically Islamic, Antisemitic genocide?

      At the very least, it might be worth examining whether Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had any awareness of this garbage. After so many other astonishing and seemingly worthwhile gestures by this young Turk buck, it could be very entertaining to see how he responds to this piece of (otherwise) predictable Islamic filth.

    “The Turkish military has so far hit 153 Kurdish militant targets in its operation in northern Syria’s Afrin region, the army said in a statement on Sunday.

    The targets were shelters, hideouts and arsenals used by the militants, the military said, adding that artillery fire continued from the ground.”

    “Turkish tanks and military personnel have entered Syrian territory amid preparations for the ground operation in Syrian northern district of Afrin, the Yeni Safak newspaper reported on Sunday.

    According to the newspaper, the Turkish tanks and troops started to enter Syrian territory from the Oncupinar border gate at 19:00 GMT and the passage continued until the early hours of Sunday morning.

    Later on, NTV broadcaster said, citing a military source, that Turkish tanks were backing the offensive of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) armed opposition group on the positions of Kurdish militia in Afrin.

    According to the broadcaster, the Turkish military is not facing serious resistance from the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which is abandoning positions at Syrian-Turkish borders and retreating deeper into the Syrian territory.

    However, a spokesman for the YPG in Afrin denied Turkish claims that its forces had entered the district…”

    • Turkish religious authority calls for ‘conquest’ sermon in support of military

      Over 90,000 mosques around Turkey gave sermons on conquest and asked community to pray for the troops during Turkish military operation on Syria, Hürriyet newspaper reported.

      Turkey’s religious authority on Friday called on all religious clerics in Turkish mosques, which are state employees, to read Quran’s chapter 48 on conquest (Al-Fath) and invited community to pray for Turkish soldiers.

      Ali Erba?, Director of Religious Affairs, said in a statement:

      For the victory of the Afrin cross-border operation initiated by our heroic security forces against terrorist organisations which threatens our country and our peacefulness, the Surat Al-Fath will be read before, during and after morning prayers. We will also say our prayers for our army and our nation. I ask all our staff to perform the program in question.

      Erba? also joined the morning prayer in Ankara’s Hac? Bayram Mosque, Hürriyet said.

    • Turkey: Turkish rockets fire on Kurdish-held targets in Afrin

      Turkish rockets are seen being fired from Hatay Province in the south of Turkey on Sunday, as day two of the ‘Olive Branch’ operation against Kurdish-held targets in Afrin gets underway.

      On Saturday, Turkish war planes launched airstrikes on Kurdish positions in Afrin shortly after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the launch of the military operation dubbed ‘Olive Branch.’

    “FRENCH authorities have charged a 33-year-old man who police believe was plotting a terror attack after pledging allegiance to ISIS, sources say.

    The man, who had pledged allegiance to the terror group in a video was arrested near the southern city of Nimes on Tuesday.

    A source close to the investigation said: “This is the first attack foiled this year.”

    Bomb-making materials were reportedly discovered at his house, however, there was no initial indication of what his intentions were or possible target.

    Police raiding the man’s house found a tube filled with powder which allegedly could be used as an explosive, as well as various other powders and a device to start a fire, the source said.

    The man was also charged with “associating with terrorist criminals” and placed in custody.

    The source said: “The investigation started when police saw on social media and attempt by a man in the Nimes region with Islamist leanings trying to procure a weapon.”…”

    Both teens were targetting a foreign country, but obly one knew its computer helpdesk line and the name of the head of its internal intelligence agency.

    I speculate that a hostile agent, even with a mole, prompted the latter, who then went rogue, so was easily caught. Ifhehimself was receiving phone threats and if he does have the claimed diminished capacity, that might have spurred him to repeat the same sinister threats to the folks he was lead to target.

    St Stephen’s in Newham, East London, was bombarded with thousands of emails – many allegedly abusive or threatening violence against staff – after it ruled that girls aged under eight should not wear headscarves.

    In the face of the protests, the chairman of the governors, Arif Qawi, announced his resignation on Friday and the school said it had reversed its ban after ‘speaking to the school community.”

    FRENCH president Emmanuel Macron shocked Andrew Marr during their interview when he admitted that had France held a referendum on membership of the EU after Brexit, the French people would vote to leave.

    Emmanuel Macron has sent shockwaves throughout Europe after he conceded that French voters would quit the EU if France held an in/out referendum on the Brussels-led bloc.

    No other European Union country has risked putting membership of the bloc to a public vote since Britain surprised member-states by voting to leave the bloc in 2016,

  8. Germany’s SPD in all-or-nothing vote on Merkel alliance

    Bonn (AFP) – Germany’s divided Social Democrats hold a crunch vote Sunday on whether to pursue a coalition deal with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives, or plunge Europe’s top economy into political turmoil.

    At an extraordinary congress in the western city of Bonn, 600 delegates from the centre-left SPD and its 45-member board will have their say on entering into formal talks for a renewed alliance with Merkel’s centre-right CDU/CSU bloc.

    The stakes could scarcely be higher for Merkel as a “no” vote would leave her with the option of leading an unstable minority government — a prospect she has baulked at — or face snap polls.

    The fate of SPD chief Martin Schulz also hangs in the balance, with pundits predicting he would have to step down should he fail to secure the party’s backing for another grand coalition.

  9. The difference between a Muslim, Socialist and Sexual:
    One goes to heaven where women are willing sex-slaves, the other where men are willing sex-slaves and the last to arrive go where children are willing.

    • Actually muslims and leftists have much in common: neither can be trusted to do the job properly and especially so if their politics/ideology disagrees with that of the job (and hence the number of whistle-blowers snowball in non leftist governments), both spend much of their time whinging about the iniquities of the west and profess to wish to destroy it and neither can be trusted to carry a gun as tail end Charlie on an active patrol in enemy territory.

      • …neither can be trusted to carry a gun as tail end Charlie on an active patrol in enemy territory.

        Put these treacherous Islamic turds right out on point and don’t examine too closely the entrance–exit profile of any fatal wounds that might happen to them.

        The notion of EU militaries enlisting Muslim recruits to engage with opposing Islamic forces places the word “surreal” into the mildest category of adjectives.

        In a sane world (which, evidently, millions of people no longer occupy) this sort of command-level decision merits immediate arrest, court martial, and summary execution.

        “Treason” doesn’t even begin to enter into the equation.

  10. German city bans new refugees as anti-migrant mood increases

    An eastern German city has imposed a temporary ban on new refugees in an effort to stem a number of recent violent incidents.

    Cottbus, about 120 kilometres southeast of Berlin, has been rocked by violence from refugees and right-wing extremists since the start of this year.

    Earlier this week, Brandenburg state police reported that two male Syrian teenagers were arrested under the suspicion of injuring a German teenager in the face with a knife.

    TURKISH military forces are invading Syria after pounding the war-torn country with airstrikes.

    Forces entered the country’s Afrin province today just 24 hours after pounding the region with airstrikes.

    Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim reportedly said they are targeting US-backed Kurdish fighters.

    Shocking pictures show dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles crossing over the border in a terrifying display of military might.

  12. California Democrats want businesses to give half their tax-cut savings to state

    SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers are targeting the expected windfall that companies in the state would see under the federal tax overhaul with a bill that would require businesses to turn over half to the state.

    A proposed Assembly Constitutional Amendment by Assemblymen Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, and Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, would create a tax surcharge on California companies making more than $1 million so that half of their federal tax cut would instead go to programs that benefit low-income and middle-class families.

    “Trump’s tax reform plan was nothing more than a middle-class tax increase,” Ting said in a statement. “It is unconscionable to force working families to pay the price for tax breaks and loopholes benefiting corporations and wealthy individuals. This bill will help blunt the impact of the federal tax plan on everyday Californians by protecting funding for education, affordable health care, and other core priorities.”

    San Francisco has some antiquated laws and ordinances on the books. Did you know about these?
    Media: SFGATE

    As a constitutional amendment, the bill would require approval from two-thirds of the Legislature to pass, a difficult hurdle now that Democrats have lost their supermajority. If passed and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would

  13. China says US warship ‘violated’ its sovereignty
    Read more at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/china-says-us-warship–violated–its-sovereignty-9879894

    BEIJING: Beijing said on Saturday (Jan 20) it had dispatched a warship to drive away a US missile destroyer which had “violated” its sovereignty by sailing close to a shoal in the disputed South China Sea.

    The USS Hopper sailed within 12 nautical miles of Huangyan Island on the night of Jan 17 without alerting Beijing, the foreign ministry said, referring to the shoal by its Chinese name.

    Also known as Scarborough Shoal, the ring of reefs lies about 230km from the Philippines in the South China Sea, where Beijing’s claims are hotly contested by other nations.

    The US vessel “violated China’s sovereignty and security interests” and put the safety of nearby Chinese vessels “under grave threat”, foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said.

  14. Trump’s ICE cracks down on high-profile illegal activists Obama, others gave a pass to
    By LU Staff January 20, 2018

    Immigration authorities have detained in recent weeks two prominent activists who are themselves illegal immigrants, demonstrating the Trump administration’s commitment to expand the pool of deportable aliens.

    The arrested men have openly lived in the U.S. for years and have until recently enjoyed a de facto immunity from deportation, thanks to their status as high-profile immigrants’ rights activists. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have denied the arrests are politically motivated, but they clearly show that immigration agents are now emboldened to arrest even the most connected of illegal immigrants.

    Both men are leaders of the New Sanctuary Coalition of New York City, a network of religious and social organizations that works to prevent the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants. ICE officers first detained Jean Montrevil, a Haitian national who had lived in the U.S. since 1986 despite having served a prison term for drug possession that resulted in a deportation order.

        • Lovely, lovely.

          The perfect targets.

          Too right! And in more ways than one, dear yucki.

          Just little more than a year ago, these were “hardened” targets which enjoyed every imaginable legal protection that the “First Estate” (i.e., Oval Office) could furnish them with.

          The implications related to this run far afield of what most ordinary people might guess. Judicial protection was merely an “outer shell” of whatever illegal and unethical adornments that decked out the surcoats of these knowing government criminals.

          A second layer of opposition resided within executive orders that stood down America’s most basic “layer of defense”. Namely, it’s physical border security. Even at the cost of human lives (i.e, the United States Border Patrol agents who died) as a result of understaffed teams that were hamstrung by the 0bama administration’s intentional de-emphasis regarding interception of illegally entering aliens that may well have included members of Islamic terrorist cells.

          Finally, a third wing of this entire illegal superstructure involved state, county, and metropolitan officers and agents (or agencies) who—through flagrant violation of federal laws—declared their regions to be “sanctuary” districts.

          In many ways, these were the “infantry” that made so much of this possible. Without consistent turn over into federal hands (by local authorities) of “immigrants” who violated their terms of entry, along with a consistent refusal to identify them or cooperate with federal agencies that were mandated with taking into custody and then deporting these (frequently repeat) offenders, there was little hope of adequately enforcing, much less, successfully implementing these laws.

          People like Kathryn Steinle (and innumerable others) paid for this willing official malfeasance with their very lives. Nothing would be more appropriate than to see those who facilitated the continued residence of these known criminals face charges of being accessories before or after the fact in these murders, rapes, and assaults.

          No plea bargaining, no reduction of sentence for good behavior, no “country club” minimum security confinement, no segregation from the general inmate population, and no early parole.

          Hard time and serving their full sentences, along with total loss of whatever career pensions they might once have qualified for, including all benefits for whatever spouses or family members that pertain.

          A few hundred successful prosecutions of cases like these and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see a change in how willing these “activist” politicians or judges are to “interpret” America’s Constitution.

          • Fine indeed.
            Not to cast a shadow over a bright moment, just a caution –
            Best avoid _past tense_ for now. Still plenty infested; essential, thorough delousing is pending…

  15. Expulsion of racist student raises First Amendment issues
    By Jerome Woehrle January 20, 2018

    Get rid of one reason for censoring bad speech, and people will try to come up with others. The University of Alabama expelled a white girl for posting an Instagram video in which she said, among other things, “I f*cking hate ni*gers.”

    In the old days, a college might have cited basic axioms of decency or civility to justify disciplining her. But in 1973, in Papish v. University of Missouri Curators, the Supreme Court overturned the expulsion of a graduate student for distributing pamphlets containing profanity and a depiction of policemen raping the Statue of Liberty. It ruled that such speech, “no matter how offensive to good taste — on a state university campus may not be shut off in the name alone of ‘conventions of decency.’”

    So the University of Alabama won’t be relying on basic principles of civility to justify its expulsion of her. Instead, it is likely to rely on other rationales that don’t really fit, and would be dangerous for the courts to accept. But that won’t stop if from trying. It will probably borrow the excuses used by the University of Oklahoma in 2015.

  16. Muslim ex-coed sets fires at Minneapolis college hoping to ‘burn it to ground,’ ‘hurt people’
    By Howard Portnoy January 20, 2018

    Why federal authorities aren’t investigating this as an act of terrorism is baffling considering that the assailant, 19-year-old Tnuza J. Hassan, of Minneapolis, was very clear about her goal, even telling police, “You guys are lucky that I don’t know how to build a bomb because I would have done that.”

    Hassan, who is Muslim and intimated that her actions were payback for similar attacks had occurred on “Muslim land,” set a total of eight fires Wednesday on the campus of St. Catherine University, using books, toilet paper, and sanitary napkins as tinder.

    The first fire was reported at around 11:40 a.m. Hassan was arrested at 2 p.m. at an auditorium, where she had set another fire.

    She was arraigned on Friday afternoon and charged with one count of felony first-degree arson. According to the Star Tribune, she arrived in court wearing an orange jumpsuit under a “makeshift hijab that consisted of a black face covering that exposed only her eyes and what appeared to be a large white sheet draped over her head.”

    Bail was set at $100,000, and she was ordered to stay away from the campus and surrender her passport.

    Court documents gave this account of the events and of Hassan’s motives:

    The German national was captured by Iraqi forces during the battle for Mosul last year, the spokesman said, declining to identify her. She is the first foreign woman to be sentenced to death in Iraq for joining the militant group.

    She can appeal the sentence, said Abdul-Sattar al-Birqdar, spokesman for Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council in Baghdad.

    “She confessed that she travelled with her two daughters from Germany to Syria and then joined Daesh in Iraq,” Birqdar said.

    The woman was convicted of participating in attacks on Iraqi security forces and offering the militant group logistical support, said Birqdar.

  18. REPORT: New England Faces A Future Of ‘Rolling Blackouts’ As Power Plants Close

    New England is facing an energy future of “rolling blackouts and controlled outages” by 2025 as more power plants close down and pipeline capacity continues to lag behind.

    The new report by the New England’s grid operator comes after the region suffered through a frigid start to the new year that pushed up prices and strained energy supplies. It could be just a taste of the region’s future.

    “Taken together, the study results suggest that New England could be headed for significant levels of emergency actions, particularly during major fuel or resource outages,” ISO New England found in a new study,

    “Harder to measure are the risks to the region from brief, high-demand cold spells, which present particular logistical challenges for fuel procurement and transportation,” the study found.

    • Let’s map out this entire bit of typical Muslim lunacy:

      Train up some vicious, hyper-religious (IRG) thugs that will attack anyone…

      Check!

      Give these zealots unprecedented economic control…

      Check!

      Allow them to freely rape and torture political dissidents…

      Check!

      Unleash these brutal killers on recent citizen protests…

      Check!

      Suddenly try to rein them back in when things go all pear-shaped…

      Bwahahahahahaha!!!

      If there is one thing that always has characterized Islam throughout the centuries, it is chronic overreach. This is a congenital issue that predictably arises from:

      A.) The Koran’s triumphalist and supremacist doctrine

      B. Islam’s capital punishment of blasphemy (e.g., doubt)

      C.) Breathing waaay too much of their own exhaust

      As the ancient Chinese saying goes:

      “They are riding the tiger and cannot dismount for fear of being eaten.”

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/appeals-3b-aid-war-battered-yemen-52499865

    “The United Nations and its partners have appealed for nearly $3 billion in aid to Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is at war with Iran-allied rebels known as Houthis.

    Jamie McGoldrick, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Yemen, told reporters in Sanaa on Sunday that it was the largest such appeal ever launched for Yemen, and was aimed at providing the “only lifeline for millions.”

    He says the aid would be channeled to the most needy in Yemen, including communities where “the risk of famine, disease outbreak, and protracted displacement converge.” The U.N. hopes to reach some 13 million people.

    Last year, donors covered 70 percent of a $2.34 billion appeal.

    Since 2015, the fighting has killed some 10,000 people and pushed millions to the brink of famine.”

    • Last year, donors covered 70 percent of a $2.34 billion appeal.

      Since 2015, the fighting has killed some 10,000 people and pushed millions to the brink of famine.

      And exactly how is this current scenario of widespread death and famine different from the vast majority of Islam’s historic track record?

      The only novel aspect in all of this lies with regard to how the way that Islam now manages to drain away so much of the non-Muslim world’s wealth by parading its self-inflicted sores before the West’s cringing masses.

      Of course, thinly veiled threats of jihadist terrorism and violence also work wonders when it comes to coercing extra billions of dollars from these self-loathing, guilt-stricken, bleating Western sheeple. BAAAH! Bah!!!

      On the brighter side, draining international coffers to continually patch up the bleeding corpse of Islamic vicissitudes seems to have become steadily less popular of late. Witness declining financial support for “Palestinian” causes, especially those that are earmarked for Hamas.

      Could this reluctance be the first signs of [gasp!] Muslim Fatigue™? There are few better ways of determining this than watching the fallout of Trump slashing US funding to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency [for Palestine Refugees]), one of the globe’s most hypocritical and supremely wasteful programs.

      Consider this, “the average Palestinian receives fifteen times more aid per capita (US$476) than the average Ethiopian (US$35)!”

      It’s sorta like when you hear some poor little rich kids warbling off-key and ask them, “What did you do with all the money?” When they (predictably) ask, “what money?”, you then counter with, “all the dough your parents paid for your voice lessons!!!”

      The same thing applies to these “Palestinians”. “What the hell happened to all that money?!?” These terrorist scumbags have received endless BILLIONS of dollars in foreign aid and have absolutely NOTHING to show for it (aside from some Qassam craters in Israel’s border territories).

      It’s long overdue for someone like Trump to spank the everliving sh!t out of this whiny-a$$ed buncha Antisemitic loons—thank fecking goodness—as part of making them (for once!!!) answerable when it comes to all of the financial misappropriations and endless administrative malfeasance that these genocidal imbeciles have sought to impose upon intellects which eclipse their own diminished capacities in ways that make some moron holding a cardboard cut-out in front of a candle look like the second coming of Tyco Brahe.

    A rescue helicopter and ship arrived in time to pull two more men from the water. The rescue service said one of the men could not be saved.

    More Smoking Gun Classified Clinton Email

    One of the myths perpetrated by Hillary Clinton and her lieutenants is that she was mostly helpless when it came to using email and that she knew nothing about keeping it secure. It has been repeated so often that it has been accepted as true, even though it defies common sense.

    Now there is even more evidence to debunk this myth.

    This week we released 78 pages of new documents from the State Department containing emails that former Secretary of State Clinton sent and received over her unsecure, non-“state.gov” email system. Three of the email exchanges include classified information. The emails also reveal that Clinton had detailed knowledge about the security issues with her non-State Department email system.

    On March 8, 2011, Clinton sent classified information regarding Bahrain to Justin Cooper, who reportedly had no security clearance, with instructions to show it to Bill Clinton. Cooper was the Bill Clinton aide who asked State Department IT specialist Bryan Pagliano to build a server for Mrs. Clinton in early 2009, as she started her new job as Secretary of State.

    On August 24, 2010, Clinton emailed Cooper additional classified information to print, including the secretary’s call sheet for Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

    In a February 13, 2010, email exchange, Clinton passed along classified information to Cooper. It originally was sent to Cheryl Mills (Clinton’s then-chief of staff) by U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual. The classified information included a note from Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa to Clinton. In the email to Cooper, Clinton asks him to “look for Espinosa’s note and respond.”

    The documents are part of the accelerated schedule of production ordered by U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg, which requires the State Department to complete processing by September 28, 2018, the remaining documents of the 72,000 pages recovered by the FBI in its investigation into Clinton’s illicit email server. These new classified and other emails appear to be among those that Clinton had attempted to delete or had otherwise failed to disclose.

    Judge Boasberg’s November 30, 2017, order came in our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on May 6, 2015, (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00687)) seeking:

  22. Leftist parents living in the heavily-migrant populated 18th arrondissement of Paris are finding themselves conflicted, as they want “diversity” yet complain that the schools in their “diverse” district are failing.
    For many years, leftist couples have moved from the expensive centre of Paris to the heavily-migrant populated district, and now that they have children they have found the “mixed” schools in the areas to be substandard.

    Indeed, schools in the area have become known as “ghetto schools” and many French now attempt to move their children elsewhere, French newspaper Liberation reports.

    The paper, which conducted an investigation into the issue, claims that leftist parents do not want to “sacrifice” their child to their beliefs and many parents are putting the success of their children above their multicultural ideals.

    Julien Grenet, a teacher at the Paris School of Economics, said: “You cannot blame them for saying no. What is shocking is that some parents, very intellectually armed, are blind and deny segregation with false arguments.”

  23. The Washington Post Locks in Its Status as a Partisan Shill With This Ridiculous Russia Story

    This is difficult to believe. Not in sense that is is difficult to believe there were a half dozen Russians at Trump’s Inaugural Address but in the sense that it is difficult to believe that sane people actually put about 15 reporters on this story and came up with nothing. And they still printed it.

      • Dear yucki,

        I know this sounds bigoted like all hell, but a single conspicuous question remains: How well have (or did) these “African Jews” integrate into the Israeli sociocultural milieu?

        There seem to be very few substantive links which provide much in the way of conclusive or corroborating evidence. If you have solid proof, I sincerely welcome it. Especially with respect to how smoothly these “new arrivals” managed to merge into Israeli culture.

        Just the “significant sums of CASH” reference obliges me to wonder.

        This article (“https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/posts/ethiopian-jews-are-struggling-to-assimilate-in-israel“), was one of the few I was able to find.

        Any further input would be much appreciated.

    According to CNN:

    56% overall say approving a budget agreement to avoid a shutdown is more important than continuing the DACA program, while just 34% choose DACA over a shutdown. Democrats break narrowly in favor of DACA — 49% say it’s more important vs. 42% who say avoiding a shutdown is the priority — while majorities of both Republicans (75%) and independents (57%) say avoiding a shutdown is more important.

  29. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has turned over to Congress additional text messages involving an FBI agent who was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team following the discovery of derogatory comments about President Donald Trump.

    But the department also said in a letter to lawmakers that its record of messages sent to and from the agent, Peter Strzok, was incomplete because the FBI, for technical reasons, had been unable to preserve and retrieve about five months’ worth of communications.

    • DAILY MAIL –Afghan asylum seeker flees to Sweden with new ID after being accused of sexually abusing girl, four, in Germany

      Ahmed M claimed to be 12-years-old when he was taken in by a family in Berlin
      He was left alone with daughter, four who said they’d played ‘doctor and nurse’
      The toddler’s mother was told there was urgent suspicion of sexual abuse
      Emily, the victim, indicated this wasn’t the first time it had happened to her
      Soon after Ahmed fled to Malmo in Sweden where he registered as a refugee

      An Afghan asylum seeker in Germany has fled to Sweden and registered under a new identity after being accused of sexually abusing the four-year-old daughter of the family caring for him.

      The case of Ahmed M., who claimed to be just 12 when he entered Germany in 2016, is another sorry tale of abused trust and bureaucratic blunders that have left him free and the girl he allegedly abused in therapy.

      He was taken in by a Catholic family in Berlin, along with several other Afghan minors, shortly after he arrived.

      In July last year he was left alone for the afternoon with the family’s toddler daughter Emily.

      The next day the child told her mother she had spent the time playing ‘doctor and nurse’ with Ahmed.

      She was taken to see a specialist doctor at the clinic for Children’s and Juvenile Medicine in nearby Buch.

      The clinic stated in a report: ‘Urgent suspicion of sexual abuse.’ And the victim indicated it was not the first time she had been abused by the refugee who claimed to authorities he was born on January 1 2004 in Kabul.

      Other Afghan refugees in the home of the family reported they had seen him abuse her in the past and a police probe was opened.

      Officers noted how tall he was, the fact that he had the beginnings of a moustache and seriously doubted his claim to be just 13 at the time of the alleged abuse of the girl.

      At 13 he was under the age of legal responsibility but prosecutor Corinna Gögge rejected a plea from Emily’s father to force him to undergo a test to determine his age. Later, because he denied the allegations, the enquiry was dropped.

      In December last year Germany issued him with new temporary residency papers stating was born six months later than he originally stated.

      Soon after he fled to Malmo in Sweden where he has registered as a refugee using the name Ahmed M. – and claiming he was born in 2005.

      The family in Germany who took him in have asked Sweden to investigate him. So far there has been no response from Swedish authorities.
