1. The Russians are granting all the death the muslims can pray for in Darya Syria. I hope they send Moscow a nice card and some flowers.
2. Beer Sheba today
Thank you Wrath of Khan, M. and all.
It still strikes me as interesting that we live in an age where there are often many more camera angles on real events than there are cameras used in movies of fictional versions of similar events.
This Iranian regime video was released via the JAM agency, the IRI’s state extra-national information service for Internet etc. With thanks to Shabnam for her help in translating the Farsi, we can bring you the details, although the message is pretty obvious for anyone who has ever seen Jerusalem from any angle. The arial shot near the end is especially foreboding perhaps.

Malek Boutih (April 29 in Paris) denounces the development of a new kind of anti-semitism
INFO LE FIGARO – In a report just submitted to Prime Minister Manuel Valls that Le Figaro has obtained, French Socialist Party (PS) deputy Boutih Malek describes “frustrated youth, ready to lose it.” He is concerned that the Islamist rift in France is turning into a mass phenomenon.
“Radical Generation”: the title of the report that Malek Boutih, PS deputy of Essonne (French department in region of Île-de-France) just submitted to the Prime Minister, and that Le Figaro has obtained, reflects its content well. By the third line, he approaches his subject: “The analysis and prevention of radicalization and especially jihadism.” This is a political reading that the former president of SOS-Racism put together after the January attacks. The report is not biased, and deals primarily with the Islamist breakaway of French youth, given that nearly 65% of individuals involved in jihadist networks are under 25 years old. The deputy ensures that his investigation confirms his premise: “The success of jihadist recruiters with the youth is based more on an adherence to an incoming political policy in tune with their international concerns and rejection of Western democratic society, than on a fundamentalist religious doctrine.” This is a result of: “Many young people are turning away from our model of society.”
A Generation “On the Brink of Breaking Apart”
Globalization, September 11th, the war in Iraq, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict left a mark on the young generation and shaped its world view, Malek Boutih notes. But beyond these events, a new marker – “the development of a new kind of anti-Semitism” – is particularly worrisome. “In the French districts, the ‘double standard’ between Jews who would be included and protected, and Muslims, who, on the other hand, are stigmatized and socially marginalized, met with a wide response, writes the deputy. The old pervasive prejudices about Jews pulling the strings in world finance and media, are back. Remarkably, these prejudices are very widespread among young people today, something that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.”
Discarding Democratic Values
“Society is perceived to be fully closed, one which generates a lot of frustration,” Malek Boutih claims, a society that speaks of “frustrated youth, ready to lose it.” He goes further: “The set of values and the social order that barely hold together our Western democratic societies, do not provide a broad enough and secure framework for people to become anchored and attached to it (…). The notion of Republic is incomprehensible, diluted in liberalism and modernity, and the feeling of belonging to a national community is very weak. Now some of the youth discard these overly ‘soft’ values and seek to differentiate themselves from others.”
Jihad, A Global “Solution”
Looking particularly at the increasing number of French youth leaving for Syria, the report’s author believes that “Islamist radicalism is on the rise within our society,” comparing it to the historic level of the extreme right. However, “faced with other radical offers targeting the youth, jihadism is ahead of the curve in both its political and theoretical implications, says the deputy. For a young man or a young woman hungry for action, jihad is the obvious way. It is not simply to satiate murderous urges or war cravings. The theoretical dimension of jihad is the most complete in its rejection of democracy, in designating those officials to be eliminated, and finally in the recognition of an alternative model. In the depths of the traditional political forces’ ideological offer, jihad offers explanations and a global solution.” The irrefutable conclusion: “Jihadism is the radicalism that prevails today in the anti-democratic offensive.”
A Mass Phenomenon?
The reports received by the hotline meant for the families or authorities of lost youth searching for direction, reveal the diversification of individuals ready to plunge into extremism. But Malek Boutih goes even further: “The scale of the phenomenon and its penetration into all circles, with the radicalization of young students, and girls in particular, indicate the possible switch to a mass phenomenon.” “If the first wave of jihadists consists mainly of vulnerable easier-to-recruit individuals, recruiters are now targeting more stable and less detectable types, and it is likely that this phenomenon will grow,” he adds.
A Structured Network
“The Islamists have established a human social network where everyone plays a role in the expression of their ideology,” notes the deputy. Their “hold on us” developed from certain French districts. Even though most young people are not tempted by the experience, “it is still necessary to pay attention to the contagious nature of this experience between peers, and to youth identifying with radicalized peers, through which a radical fringe can influence an entire generation,” Malek Boutih believes. At the end of his report, the author presents a series of proposals that go through the school, culture, and families. Along with the need to strongly reaffirm the republican credo.

On June 6, a young Israeli girl is stabbed in the back by a young Arab-apparently motivated by the islamist cause.
Below is a video taken at the scene of the attack as the young woman is waiting for rescue.
The attack took place in the middle of the afternoon in the town of Ramel in the South East of Tel Aviv. The young woman said before help arrived that she was having more and more trouble breathing.
The terrorist was “neutralized” as he was trying to flee by three bullets in the legs.
We regret that he was not killed.
Thank you Tanya for your great work helping translate this part of Erdogan’s speech of the 17th. Below, more links on this:

More will be posted here as they are discovered.
Thank you M. and all who contributed to this post.
1. Iran, Hezbollah Reportedly Backing Al-Qaeda Attacks Against US Interests in the Middle East
Iran and Hezbollah have been supervising and funding fighters linked to Al-Qaeda to target US interests in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, independent Lebanese online newspaper Naharnet reported on Sunday citing a breaking report from pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat.
Sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that Iran is playing a central role in running the affairs of Al-Qaeda, and even, surprisingly, Jabhat al-Nusra, after it has taken in a number of leading fighters in order to plan terrorist attacks against these US interests.
The sources confirmed that the fighters have been moving between Iranian cities, including Tehran, Meshad and Zahdan. Meanwhile, Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah has been taking care of planning and providing them with financing.
2. Phased US-Iran nuclear deal taking shape
GENEVA (AP) — The United States and Iran are working on a two-phase deal that clamps down on Tehran’s nuclear program for at least a decade before providing it leeway over the remainder of the agreement to slowly ramp up activities that could be used to make weapons.
Officials from some of the six-power talks with Iran said details still needed to be agreed on, with U.S. and Iranian negotiators meeting Monday for the third straight day ahead of an end-of-March deadline for a framework agreement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined the negotiations after arriving Sunday.
3. Iran Press: Obama desperate for a nuclear deal
How are the ongoing nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran playing out in the Iranian press? Well, the U.S. is being portrayed as desperate.
In an article by Press TV, an Iranian propaganda organ, the headline reads, “Obama ‘under pressure’ to reach nuclear agreement with Iran: Analyst.”
US President Barack Obama is “under pressure” to reach an agreement with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear energy program, an American foreign policy analyst says.
“It’s quite obvious to everyone that Mr. Obama would like to have a deal with Iran,” said James George Jatras, a former US diplomat and adviser to the Senate Republican leadership.

Thank you Richard, Yucki, M., and all of you who sent in materials.
Thank you Tundra T.
Last report is that it was not gunfire but rocks through the window or something similar which local authorities are referring to as “random”, presumably in the same way Obama referred to the shooting of the Jews in Paris as same

Earlier today we posted just the headline, a video and graphic from the link.
Tania was nice enough to translate the most important parts of the article as she read it.
Wednesday 5th November 2000 people protested at Beyoglu carrying the Palestinian flag in their hand. they believed that the Golden Dome in Jerusalem was attacked and bombed. During the demonstration they praised Hamas and shouted out “demolish Israel” and “Hamas kill the Jews”.
Ahmet Yilmaz published a message on IHH social media, saying get rid of the synagogues and the Yahudis (Jews) in Istanbul, there wer negative comments such as “they are killing children and selling women all you care is about the golden dome.” and they removed it from Facebook.
Posters says, “To be demolished”, and was placed on the synagogue front, and back doors. The person he put the sign and walked away. What you see in the pictures was the demonstration that took place on the 5th. They are two different events.

Any errors in translation are mine as I edited what I thought were grammatical mistakes in the translation which could have had more than one meaning. I fixed them based on brief chats with the translator. There is a great deal more on the original page if anyone wants to try and load it up on Google translate.
I am referring to the IHH as a ‘GONGO’ because that is what I suspect they are. A GONGO is a government agency masquerading as a non-governmental agency, or an NGO. One example of this would be an Iranian human rights group created by the Islamic regime but masquerading as a separate entity. The value of this would be to fill up time at, for example, the UN HRC where they would use up all the time allotted to real NGOs and human rights groups by just basically flattering the regime that created them and asking bogus questions. The IHH is the group that set up the initial flotilla to Gaza a few years ago which was widely believed to be a Turkish government event. But I cannot be certain of any of that. It is also possible that the IHH is an official part of the Turkish government as opposed to just a kind of ‘Cossack’ which I suspect they are.
Anyone who knows, please explain in the comments and ill fix as needed here in the post.
Eeyore for Vlad.
A Group of muslims chant the typical genocidal slogans against Jews in Jerusalem.
Here is a narrated EuroNews video of the events that took place. Notice the reason that the muslims are agitated. Because Jews wee ‘allowed’ to go to the Temple Mount. So exactly which side is apartheid?
Description from Youtube:
Knesset Member Moshe Feiglin on his scheduled monthly ascent to the Temple Mount, as filmed by Muslims. Muslim organizations associated with and funded by the Islamic Movement of Israel and Hamas photograph, film and post on social media every Jew who ascends the Temple Mount, apparently with the intention of intimidating the Jewish worshipers.
Thank you Yucki:
Eric Hoffer, LA Times, May 26, 1968:
The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab.

(Thank you Robin)
United Nations Watch has obtained the document linked here which it hopes all of us will call the appropriate member of our own representative governments and demand that they vote: NO
The number of enormous outright lies in the video clip below from Melbourne Australia should make anyone blush. “Israel is committing genocide”? If they wanted to, they could. We would all know about it because there would be no more Gaza, or at least any people in it.
It should be clear to anyone paying attention that all that is needed for Israel to stop defending itself, is for Hamas to stop launching rockets. We know that Hamas won’t stop firing rockets till there are no Jews left in Israel, or most certainly no Jews in control of their own destiny and which are not under Islamic rule and we know this because Israel accepted a cease-fire even though they are defending and clearly more capable.
We can also see how well Jews living under sharia works in any muslim dominated country however, and even countries like France which just have a sufficient number of muslims to enforce antisemitism as policy despite not having classical political control.
This video also has an interesting feature. One woman does the political equivalent of ‘streaking’. Check her out at roughly 1:45
So the question is on the table and the answer is imminent. Does the ‘big lie’ of Hitler fame still work? If you can tell a lie big enough that people believe it from its sheer enormity and constant repetition will people march to that drum in the internet age?
We won’t have long to wait to know the answer.

Afterthought:
To better understand the nature of the specific lies being told at this, and likely many more protests and riots around the world by groups of muslims, read this excellent piece by psychiatrist and political pundit, Charles Krauthammer.
To deliberately wage war so that your own people can be telegenically killed is indeed moral and tactical insanity
