Mahmoud Abbas’ Party Threatens to ‘Bomb Tel Aviv’

Israel National News:

The Fatah party of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has posted threats to bomb Tel Aviv on its official Facebook page.

The threats came in the form of a video by Fatah’s armed wing – the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade – which threatened to turn Tel Aviv “into a ball of fire”, as well as escalated rocket fire on Israeli civilians.

Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade has been declared a terrorist group by the US, EU, Israel and Canada, among others.

The post was spotted on Tuesday and translated by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), which regularly monitors PA media for incitement and anti-Semitism. Excerpts from the eight-minute video can be seen below:

Germany Uses Special Label to Target Israeli Products

by William Bigelow 11 Jun 2013, 1:48 AM PDT 18 post a comment
The German government of Angela Merkel has approved of a plan to put special labels on products made by Jews in the Israeli land of Judea and Samaria. Germany joins 13 other EU members in adopting this practice. The desire to punish Jews who live in the two areas is ironic, for more than 23,000 Palestinian Arabs work in those communities, many of them for Jewish-owned companies.

In a new report presented to members of the European Parliament, NGO Monitor details the damaging impact of highly secretive European Union funding for radical political advocacy Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

According to the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, EU funds are going to organizations involved in anti-Israel boycotts and violent demonstrations, which undermine the EU’s efforts to secure peace in the Middle East.

The report, Lack of Due Diligence and Transparency in European Union Funding for Radical NGOs, shows how EU-funded NGOs lead the campaigns to demonize Israel through the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) – actions that entirely contradict the EU’s proclaimed objectives of supporting peace and democratic development.

MONTREAL — Two kosher restaurants on Queen Mary Rd. and a home in Côte-St-Luc were hit by incendiary devices between Friday and Sunday.

Montreal police are investigating whether the incidents are linked.

There were about 30 people inside Chops restaurant, located on Queen Mary, near Décarie Blvd., at 12:40 a.m. Sunday when a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window, Montreal police said. No one was injured.

Witnesses said they saw two suspects flee on foot. The Molotov cocktail did not ignite.

Chops was hit by a firebomb in October. The resulting fire was extinguished quickly but water damage from the sprinkler system was extensive.

On Saturday, a device was thrown into a Côte-St-Luc home, causing very light damage.
