TERRORISTS ATTACKS Various places

The Terrorists Migrating into Europe
by Judith Bergman  •  February 15, 2020 at 5:00 am

"Most migrant terrorists involved in thwarted or completed attacks were purposefully deployed to the migration flows by an organized terrorist group to conduct or support attacks in destination countries." — Todd Bensman, "What Terrorist Migration Over European Borders Can Teach About American Border Security", Center for Immigration Studies.

Bensman's report indirectly proves that the three EU countries -- Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic -- which refused to take in any of the migrants that came during the migrant crisis, citing security concerns, were right.

The leadership of the European Union, however, initiated legal proceedings at the Court of Justice of the European Union against the three countries over the issue.... A ruling on the issue by the Court is expected early next year.

In response to the Advocate General, Polish government spokesman Piotr Muller, said that "ensuring security for our citizens is the most important goal of the government's policies. Our actions were dictated by the interests of Polish citizens and the need for protection against uncontrolled migration". — Polish government spokesman Piotr Muller, Reuters, October 31, 2019.

A new report, "What Terrorist Migration Over European Borders Can Teach About American Border Security", by Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, describes the extent to which terrorists disguised as migrants have entered the European Union to commit terrorist attacks. Although the study was written primarily for an American audience to prevent the same mistakes from being made on US borders, the study is extremely relevant for the European public -- especially as Germany recently warned of a repeat migration crisis, similar to the one that occurred in 2015. According to Bensman:

3 Terror Attacks Strike Israel in Just 12 Hours
(CBN) – Israeli officials have arrested the man responsible for injuring 12 soldiers by ramming his car into them early Thursday morning outside First Station, a popular entertainment center in Jerusalem.  The man was arrested at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank Thursday evening, police said.

He was handed over to Israel’s Shin Bet security service for interrogation. “Following an extensive operational and intelligence effort, the IDF, working with the Shin Bet, the Israel Police’s special police unit and other special forces, has arrested the terrorist who carried out the ramming attack in the predawn hours of this morning in Jerusalem,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

One person is dead and at least two more wounded following a terrorist attack in London Sunday afternoon.

The incident occurred on Streatham High Street Sunday afternoon when, according to eyewitnesses, several people were stabbed and at least one person shot.

Police later said that the incident was "terror-related", adding that the person who had been shot was wounded by officers, and appears to be the suspect.

"The circumstances are being assessed; the incident has been declared as terrorist-related,” London Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The other wounded were stabbed, though police declined to list the number of victims.

Witnesses said that ambulances and helicopters had been dispatched to the scene of the stabbing.

"I was walking to the shops and saw helicopters came down, and lots of ambulances,” said Alanah Murphy, according to the BBC.

"I didn't see what happened but just the aftermath - loads of armed police and like nine, 10 ambulances. The police were screaming at people to get back."

Another witness claimed that the terrorist stabbed a female cyclist and a second victim, before being shot and neutralized.

A foreign terror suspect who the security services believe was planning to carry out an Islamic State terror attack in London has been granted legal aid to claim asylum in the UK.

The man, who can only be named as 03, was detained in London two years ago in a counter-terrorism operation involving MI5 and Scottland Yard.

At his flat police found an Islamic State 'passport', manuals on fighting with the terror group, terrorism propaganda vowing to kill Westerners and a chilling mocked-up photograph of a terrorist holding a rifle and picture of a London Routemaster bus with the words 'Sometimes you just got to get up and go.'

Officers also found a picture of the decapitated body of American journalist James Foley who was murdered by Islamic State executioner Jihadi John as well as a video featuring the now-dead leader of Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He also had pictures on his computer of the nine terrorists responsible for the Paris attack in 2015 which killed more than 100 people.

Last night the decision to grant the suspect with legal aid was criticised by Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who said: "My constituency is in the heart of middle Britain and I’m sure people living there will think that by using the legal aid system in this way he is abusing the hospitality, protection and privileges of this country."

According to court documents, MI5 believes the man 'aspires to engage in some form of attack-planning in the UK' and 'that the focus of an ISIL-inspired attack is most likely to be a high profile, heavily-populated city, such as London.'

The security services are concerned that he is planning to 'use explosives, firearms, vehicles, knives or other bladed weapons, blunt instruments; or any combination of these.'

In 2010 he was arrested outside Finsbury Park station with a surgical knife rolled up in his shorts. In September 2017, 03, who does not have a driving licence, was stopped by police while he was driving a 'high-powered Mercedes S500'.

The car had been obtained earlier by 03's brother, who was a passenger in the car and also didn't have a driving licence.

Police now believe he was preparing to use the car for an IS-inspired vehicle attack against pedestrians. After O3's arrest in November 2017 the Government began proceedings to deport him another country that for legal reasons cannot be named.

But O3 has been granted legal aid to challenge his deportation under human rights law on the grounds he needs international protection. His case is due to be heard, partly in secret, in June this year.

At his bail hearing last year lawyers for the Home Secretary said the risk '03 poses to national security is such that his continued detention is the only way to fully manage this threat whilst the appeal proceedings are ongoing.'

The government added:  'If released on bail, ..... there is a real risk that 03 will engage in terrorism-related activity of a very serious nature, thereby posing a significant threat to public safety. There was a "potentially limited window of opportunity within which [03] could orchestrate and execute his attack-plans prior to his deportation”, which heightened the risk he would pose on bail.'

O3 converted to Islam in 2017 and denies he an extremist aligned to IS. He says he was only holding the material found by the police to help him write a book which he hoped to turn into a film. But on December 20 2019 Mr Justice Lane said that there was enough evidence to show that O3 represented a threat to national security and denied him bail before his asylum appeal hearing in June.

Terrorists should 'not necessarily' serve full jail term, says Jeremy Corbyn

JEREMY CORBYNLONDON BRIDGE ATTACK 2019
Jeremy Corbyn is calling for a review of the prison system

Release of terrorists 'depends on the circumstances'

Why you can trust Sky News 
Jeremy Corbyn has told Sky News that convicted terrorists should "not necessarily" automatically serve their full prison sentences.

The Labour leader's comment comes in the wake of Friday's London Bridge terror attack, which left two people dead.

The attacker, 28-year-old Usman Khan, was a convicted terrorist who was wearing an electronic tag after being released halfway through a 16-year prison sentence for plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange.

Undated handout photo issued by West Midlands Police of Usman Khan, 20, one of nine members of an al Qaida-inspired terror group that plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange and build a terrorist training camp, who has been jailed for a minimum term of eight years. He has been named as the perpetrator of an attack on London Bridge on Friday. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Picture date: Saturday November 30, 2019. See PA story POLICE LondonBridge.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said violent offenders "must serve every day of their sentence, with no exceptions".

Speaking to Sky's Sophy Ridge, Mr Corbyn said there were lessons to be learned from the incident and there should be a "full investigation" into the circumstances around the attacker's prison sentence and subsequent release.

Pressed on whether convicted terrorists should serve their full prison sentences automatically, he said: "No, not necessarily".

The Labour leader continued: "I think it depends on the circumstances and it depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what they've done in prison.

"I think there has to be an examination of how our prison services work and crucially what happens to them on release from prison."

He added: "There has to be an examination of what goes on in the prison, because prisons ought to be a place where people are put away because of major serious offences but also a place where rehabilitation takes place."

Mr Corbyn said police "had no choice" but to shoot Khan dead as they were "stuck with a situation where there was a credible threat of a bomb belt around his body".

Speaking later at an event in York, he said people cannot be kept safe "on the cheap".

London Bridge attack: Boris Johnson says terrorists must serve 'every day of sentences'
Mr Corbyn added: "We have to understand that no government can prevent every attack. No-one would believe any political leader who said they could. But the government can act to make such acts of terror less, rather than more, likely."

His remarks follow the prime minister's assertion that automatic early release must end and other laws must change to strengthen security.

Mr Johnson claimed that because the "broken hung parliament was preoccupied with blocking Brexit", his government was unable to make the changes required to keep violent offenders and terrorists in jail for longer.

He said: "This system has got to end - I repeat, this has got to end, as I've been saying for four months."

"If you are convicted of a serious terrorist offence, there should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 14 years - and some should never be released.
"Further, for all terrorism and extremist offences the sentence announced by the judge must be the time actually served - these criminals must serve every day of their sentence, with no exceptions.

"These simple changes, in line with what I've been saying since becoming prime minister, would have prevented this attack."

The PM told the BBC's Andrew Marr he found it "repulsive" that terrorists like Khan could be released from prison after serving eight years.

He added that there were "probably about 74" others subject to early release after terror offences, cases that are now being "properly invigilated" to "make sure there is no threat".

Mr Johnson also sought to blame Labour for the release of Khan, saying: "The reason this killer was out on the streets was because of automatic early release which was brought in by a leftie government."

Arrests in Denmark over suspected Islamist terror plot

Police in Denmark say they have arrested more than a dozen people during raids over a suspected Islamist terror plot.

Investigators are said to have carried out "comprehensive and coordinated" action at several addresses across the country to foil preparations for what they believe were "terrorist attacks with a militant, Islamist motive".

Several raids were carried out on Wednesday and "some 20 people" were arrested, police said.

Copenhagen Police Chief Inspector Joergen Bergen Skov said a number of the suspects would be charged under the country's terror laws.

"Some have procured things to make explosives and have tried to acquire weapons," he added.
There has not been a terror-related attack in Denmark since 2015, when a lone gunman shot and killed a man outside a culture centre that was hosting a debate on freedom of speech.
The attacker later killed a man outside a Jewish synagogue in the centre of Copenhagen, before being gunned down by armed police during a shootout in the capital.

Moyed al Zoebi, 32, who had sought asylum in Sweden, was charged last year with planning a terror attack with another man named Dieab Khadigah, who was convicted in Germany in July 2017.

Al Zoebi was sentenced to 12 years in jail earlier this year and his accomplice had received six-and-a-half years.

ISIS SUPPORTERS CALL FOR POISONING OF FOOD IN GROCERY STORES ACROSS U.S. AND EUROPE
BY JACK MOORE ON 9/7/17 AT 5:12 AM EDT
Grocery Store

The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) and its followers have traditionally used shock and awe tactics in their attacks on the West, taking knives, assault rifles and trucks on as weapons in shocking assaults. But the group's followers are now calling for a hidden weapon: poison. The target? Western grocery stores.

"In the third part of an English-language series promoting lone-wolf jihad in Western countries, potential attackers are advised to inject food for sale in markets with cyanide poison," U.S.-based jihadi monitoring group SITE Intelligence reported.

A graphic posted by the ISIS supporters in the Furat Wilayah channel on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, a platform popular with jihadists because of its secrecy and lack of takedowns compared to other platforms such as Twitter, read: "First method: poison."

The potential use of poison is one that has been publicized by the group's supporters for several years, but never used. Jihadists published a guide that directed "six ways to kill the Jews" in October 2015, the methods given were to "stab him, burn him, poison him." They have also distributed a guide on how to poison food eaten by "crusaders." Pro-ISIS groups have also published handbooks on how to make homemade poison.

Even though it has yet to be used, one U.S. case points to a jihadist attempting to follow the orders of the group and its followers. Police charged Amer Sinan Alhaggagi, a 22-year-old man from San Francisco, who spent time in Yemen. He is alleged to have tried to support ISIS, but also to "redefine terror" in the Bay Area.

In his December 2016 court hearing, details emerged that he had discussed lacing drugs with rat poison and distributing them in nightclubs across the Bay Area. He had sought information from an undercover agent about mixing highly-toxic pesticide strychnine and cocaine, according to ABC.

It was also reported in July that a Lebanese suspect detained over a plot to bring down an airliner from Australia to the United Arab Emirates, directed by ISIS, had planned to release a poison gas to incapacitate the passengers and crew of the aircraft.

The suspect abandoned the plot before boarding the plane because his bag weighed several kilograms more than the weight limit for hand luggage to board the flight. The alleged poison gas plot represented a new threat to aviation security.

The jihadist group has killed dozens of Westerners in attacks across the U.S. and Europe, the deadliest being the Paris attacks in November 2015, that left 130 people dead, the truck attack in the southern French city of Nice, that killed 86 people, and the shooting attack at a LGBT nightclub in Orlando that killed 49 people.
But in Iraq, the group has gone further, testing poisons on prisoners in experiments likened to those carried out during the Nazi era. Iraqi special forces reportedly discovered papers at Mosul University that documented the group's use of "human guinea pigs" to test chemical agents. British and U.S. forces verified the documents, according to The Times.

Success! Palestinians’ Pro-Terror Facebook Page Shut Down

Terror incitement
A massive campaign launched by Palestinian Media Watch and aided by United with Israel supporters shuttered Fatah’s Facebook over its rampant terror incitement.
By United with Israel Staff and TPS
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party utilizes social media to glorify terrorists as heroes and role models, and through its Facebook page “instantaneously promotes terror to its 224,000 Facebook followers,” Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) recently reported.
To combat this threat, PMW launched a campaign in February to shut down this source of pro-terror propaganda, releasing a comprehensive report on Fatah’s Facebook page documenting its terror glorification and incitement to violence throughout 2018.
The report showed that Fatah’s content was in direct violation of Facebook’s community standards. However, Facebook refused to close the page.
PMW published a new report earlier this month, documenting the terror promoting content on Fatah’s Facebook page during the first six months of 2019, which it shared with Facebook.

Simultaneously, PMW also launched a social media campaign with partner organizations worldwide urging the social media giant to immediately and permanently shut down Fatah’s page, for openly violating Facebook’s guidelines.

United with Israel, which has close to 6 million supporters, stepped up and urged its readers to lend a hand, strengthening PMW’s efforts with a call to action asking its readers to get involved.

On Wednesday, the efforts of PMW, United with Israel, and other partner organizations paid off: Fatah had to shut down their hate-filled terror-promoting page.

“We were eager to utilize United with Israel’s resources to further this cause,” said UWI founder Michael Gerbitz.

“Our dedicated supporters sent emails to Brian Fishman, director of Facebook’s global counter-terrorism team, demanding that he put a stop to the promotion of Palestinian terrorism on his platform,” he added. “Innocent lives are at risk. It’s unconscionable this incitement went on for so long.”
The campaign is ongoing, and readers are urged to continue emailing Facebook about the matter. Click here for instructions.
An Important Step
Itamar Marcus, director of PMW, said the achievement was “an important step in the war against Palestinian terror.”

He expressed hope that this will be “a permanent closure and not a short-term suspension. The more we can shut down terror promoting social media, the more lives will be saved.”

Fatah’s page has previously been suspended and reinstated by Facebook.
in the past, Facebook faced allegations and legal action over its facilitation of pages owned and used by terrorist organizations, but dodged the charges in most instances.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) media on Tuesday accused PMW of “waging a war” against its Facebook page. Fatah is the ruling party in the PA.
“The Israeli occupation (i.e. PMW) is waging a new war against the Fatah Movement’s Facebook page… The occupation is claiming that the page glorifies Palestinians that carry out operations (i.e., terror attacks) against the occupation… We in Fatah are proud of our Martyrs” Ma’an, an independent Palestinian news agency, reported.

By Mark Duell for MailOnline, 10 September 2019:

A 25-year-old Islamic State supporter planning a ‘lone wolf’ attack on a military site researched how to weaponise a drone to kill British soldiers, a court heard today.

Hisham Muhammad, of Whitefield, Greater Manchester, allegedly researched how to develop designs and buy products to adapt drones to carry and drop weapons.

He had visited a nearby Army barracks when police found knives, bear claws, axes, combat clothing and camouflage make-up at his home, the Old Bailey heard.

Today, Muhammad and his cousin Faisal Ahmad, 24, who is said to have known of his terror plot, appeared in the dock after being arrested at their house in June last year.

Opening the prosecution case at the court in London, Anne Whyte QC said: ‘Hisham Muhammad is charged with preparing acts of terrorism.

‘IN SUMMARY, IT IS ALLEGED THAT HE HELD EXTREMIST VIEWS WHICH WERE ALIGNED TO THE SORT OF RADICAL VERSION OF ISLAM ADVOCATED BY TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS ISLAMIC STATE, THAT HE HAD ACCEPTED THE PROPAGANDA EXPORTED BY THE TYPE OF ORGANISATION AND HAD DECIDED TO COMMIT WHAT WE CALL A LONE WOLF ATTACK HERE IN THE UK.
‘He had researched and downloaded extremist material from the internet. This material glorified violence and martyrdom in the name of an extreme and ultra conservative view of the Islamic faith.

‘He had researched how small drones might be adapted to drop some sort of device from them designed to harm others. He had also obtained a variety of weapons and researched how to use knives to lethal effect.

‘He had purchased blade sharpening implements and had used them. He had also researched military locations and police equipment.

‘As you will hear, on May 23 last year, his research included expressing false interest in joining the British Army and in visiting Castle Armoury Barracks in Bury.

‘By the time of his arrest, he was planning we say some sort of physical attack using knives and other weapons, possibly involving the armed forces or the police. We will never know if he had got as far as identifying a particular target or type of individual.’

The research allegedly included visiting Castle Armoury Barracks in Bury, Greater Manchester

On Ahmad, she said: ‘It is alleged that he knew that his cousin had formed radical views and was planning a terrorist act of violence but failed, without reasonable excuse, to draw this to the attention of the police.’

The cousins, who are also brothers-in-law, both grew up in Bermuda and have wives who lived in Senegal throughout the alleged crimes.

Muhammad had lived in Gambia where Ahmad joined him after living in America, and both moved to the UK in 2013 without their wives, the trial heard.

Muhammad was arrested along with Ahmad after his landlord allegedly found Muhammad’s weapon stash at their three-bedroom terrace house share last June.

Anne Whyte QC, prosecuting, said the pair’s landlord Onkar Singh called police on June 4 last year after finding alleged terrorist material at his home he first rented to Ahmad’s mother.

Mr Singh, his friend Gavin Weston and nephew Daniel Singh called police after finding a huge stash of weapons and what appeared to be home-made bombs, jurors heard.

The Bomb Squad and police were called and Ms Whyte said two balaclavas, camouflage clothing, knife sharpening blocks, army recruitment documents, a tomahawk axe, machete, two axes on the floor, cardboard training knives and wooden sword were seized.

There were also two grip claws behind a heater, a toy AK47 assault rifle and a pizza box which had been used for stabbing practice, it was heard.

Muhammad denies one count of preparing acts of terrorism and is on trial at the Old Bailey

The QC said: ‘The diagrams and notes in the exercise book indicated that basic research and development was being undertaken aimed at releasing one or more expendable store from a commercially available model aircraft.

‘The approach taken by Hisham Muhammad in creating these images, notes and objects was variable and could be used to deliver a range of payloads.’

She added: ‘Due to the unusual and unidentified nature of some equipment in the house, the police took the precaution of ensuring the attendance of a defence explosive ordnance disposal operator, somebody called Sergeant David Podmore.

‘For example, in the front small bedroom there was the plastic bucket seen previously by Mr Singh containing two Tupperware boxes and a switch.

‘Mr Podmore also examined a variety of test tubes which contained miscellaneous items and substances including powders which tested as probably flour.’

Jurors heard he found a notebook of sketches of improvised explosive devices in the room.

Ms Whyte QC said: ‘On a shelf in the same room, they found more lollipop sticks attached together with a battery and electrical component.

‘Mr Podmore examined them and X-rayed them. Some of the component seemed to correspond to sketches found in a notebook in the property.

‘The sketches included details and notes for building or modifying a drone to drop a potential improvised explosive device or IED.

‘The first, though simple enough to look at, corresponded to sketches in the exercise book of a point impact initiation system – i.e. of a released device that is designed upon impact to ingite.

‘The other items with the various lollipop sticks attached together consisted of various lengths of lollipop sticks, with a home made hinge and an electrical servo switch which Sergeant Podmore assessed as being a possible improvised underling release mechanism for a drone.

‘When all the evidence is taken together, research into and development of adapting a drone to enable it to drop some sort of harmful device.

‘Whilst this research and development was by no means complete, you will be able to see it was not as unsophisticated as it looks.’

She added: ‘The Crown suggest that these exhibits are highly relevant. Essentially, Hisham Muhammad had been practising stabbing and slashing movements on cardboard and clothing.

‘There were two pointed eggs which had been punctured and drained, each containing brown powder on the drawer unit in the small front bedroom.

‘The powder was found to be a mixture of crushed chilli seeds and shards of glass.

‘They can be used, we suggest, as a blinding disorientation device of the sort that might immediately precede a physical attack.

‘Michael Leather, an expert in explosives considered the contents of this exercise book and also examined a number of other exhibits recovered from the property.

‘The sketches and notes, he thought, appeared to show how individual parts of a projectile such as an IED, could be produced.

‘The projectile described in the notebook included an ignition system with a push switch mounted in a modified test tube fitted to the end of a battery, a basic ignitor consisting of a wire wrapped over a match stick, a sealed container, possibly a metal pipe and a tail fin.

‘This type of projectile would have to be dropped nose first – designed to land on its nose thereby activating a switch in order to ignite a charge.’

Muhammad claimed he only researched ISIS propaganda to find out whether the Manchester Arena bombing or Lee Rigby’s murder actually happened.

He was visiting an extremist jihad websites regularly shortly before he was arrested, the Old Bailey was told.

Muhammad visited the ISIS propaganda website My Revenge eight times between May 21 and May 30 on his Samsung tablet device before police and the bomb squad was called to his home.

Ms Whyte said: ‘The data from the tablet was downloaded and reviewed. The Crown suggest that its contents strongly suggest that Hisham Muhammad possessed a radical mindset though ultimately, this will be an issue for you to decide.

‘The Crown say that it is no coincidence that Hisham Muhammad was accessing this sort of material in late May. By then he had determined upon some sort of attack and his preparation was becoming more pronounced.

‘My Revenge is a video in French published by one of the IS media wings called Al Hayat. The website address for this video was accessed a total of eight times between May 21, 2018 and May 30, 2018.

‘The combination of the audio and subtitles encourages lone wolf attacks – exhorting the viewer to kill non-believers whether by shooting or detonating a suicide belt.

‘In one scene a man in combat clothing holds a knife aloft and a subtitle appears which says: ‘Kill them wherever you can find them’.’

Muhammad, who denies preparing an act of terrorism, was also said to have researched British police and armed forces and other ISIS propaganda videos into late May, the jury heard.

When he was interviewed by police, Ms Whyte QC said: ‘As to his use of the internet, he said he liked to research.

‘He suggested that he did not believe that the Manchester Arena bombing or the Westminster Bridge attack had occurred and questioned whether the video of the killing of soldier Lee Rigby was real.

‘He said that Islamic State could be something America made up. He was asked for his views on Islamic terrorism. He said that innocent people shouldn’t be hurt, and said he disagreed with Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and Islamic State.’

Jurors heard Muhammad claimed eggs filled with glass shards and chilli powder seized in his flat were ‘Japanese culture regarding the ninja’.

His cousin and co-accused Ahmad, meanwhile, was also said to claim skewers found in the house were used for ‘kebabs’ and that he hadn’t heard of a ‘Jihadology’ website.

Ms Whyte QC said on May 29 he attended Castle Armoury Barracks after expressing an interest in joining during an Army recruitment event the week before.

She said: ‘May 23 is therefore an extremely important day in the chronology of the events that you will have to consider.

‘After Hisham Muhammad returned from Bury, he researched on Google the weak points of the human body for assault purposes and immediately after this, he entered search terms about types of police, including armed police in the UK and in Manchester.

‘These were, we say, all acts of preparation. He was using the internet and what he could learn about his local area to plan some sort of physical attack.

‘He wanted to know where soldiers might be. He wanted to know where best to stab or assault someone and he wanted to know as much as possible about the British police including armed police officers, no doubt because they would be the first to respond to the sort of attack he was contemplating.

‘And all of this activity took place in the context of his immersion in extremist pro Islamic state propaganda and publications.’

Ms Whyte said Muhammad’s cousin and house-mate Ahmad, charged with failing to notify the authorities about the terror plot, raised concerns over his cousin to his wife in Senegal three days before they were arrested.

She said he sent messages: ‘It looks like we going to have some problems. It looks like the lonely madness is getting to sham (Hisham).’

She added: ”Not me I’m worried about I’m worried what he will do even though he is on the right path it don’t look like he is worried about you lot he just want,’ and the message concluded with an emoji of a gun.’

Referring to his police interview, she added: ‘Asked about a reference to a katana, he said he and Hisham were both into Japanese culture.’

The jury heard the pair had admitted engaging in defrauding members of the public though a bogus escort agency to police.

Muhammad denies one count of preparing acts of terrorism.

Ahmad denies one of ‘having information which he knew or believe might be of material assistance in preventing the commission by another person of a act of terrorism and failing to notify the authorities’. The trial continues

Taliban suicide bombers kill one U.S. soldier, multiple civilians in Afghanistan
September 7, 2019 by Jerry McCormick
As the long-running peace talks between the Taliban and the U.S. seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough, Taliban terror attacks took more lives.

At least one American soldier, one Romanian soldier, and a number of civilians were killed in three separate suicide bombings in Afghanistan on Thursday, Newsweek reported.

A strong response from the White House was not long in coming. After hearing the news, President Donald Trump said he has suspended peace talks and canceled a scheduled secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban and Afghan leaders.

“If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don’t have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway,” Trump said in a series of tweets late Saturday.

The Truth About Sasha Obama
Taliban claims responsibility
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, basically spitting in the face of the peace delegation working on the agreement.

In an all-out war, casualties will happen during peace negotiations. However, carrying out suicide bomber attacks and putting civilians at risk while trying to negotiate peace is completely unnecessary.

That is exactly what the Taliban is doing, though.

In Thursday’s attacks, in addition to the casualties, at least nine U.S. troops and several civilians were injured.

Difficult negotiations
In previous instances, U.S. officials have insisted that violence would not get in the way of a peace agreement being put in place. In fact, U.S. officials said on Monday the two sides have an “agreement in principle” that has not yet been finalized.

One key aspect of the deal has been a definitive schedule of U.S. troop withdrawal — the Taliban insists that it will not even begin to negotiate until that schedule is in place. Despite this, U.S. officials have said in the past that Afghanistan will not be left alone to fend for itself.

Terror Attack in the Old City of Jerusalem by Two Muslim Kids

They are Kids!
Two Muslim kids exited the Temple Mount and ran to commit a stabbing attack on Israeli police officers. Thankfully, only one police officer was lightly wounded in the arm. The other police officers at the scene shot at the two young kids and stopped their attack. Both of the kid terrorists were killed by the police officers in stopping their stabbing attack.

What kind of society educates their children to commit “suicide” missions and stab police officers? The same society that educates its children that Jews are evil. The same educational institutions that run military training camps for their children. The same society where parents teach their little kids how to stab. It is death, genocidal culture called “palestine.

Knives on the Temple Mount?
How did these kids have knives on the Temple Mount? Because the Muslims who go up to the Temple Mount do not have to go through metal detectors. After the last Muslim terror attack on the Temple Mount Israel placed metal detectors, but the Muslim world protested and Israel removed all the security metal detectors.

Also, shouldn’t these Muslim kids treat the Temple Mount with holiness? How could they even think about committing a terror attack from their holy place?

The Muslims always desecrate the Temple Mount! Maybe the Mount really isn’t holy to them???


Medical Report
“At 18:08, a report was received in MDA’s Jerusalem Regional Dispatch regarding a wounded man next to the Iron Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City,” MDA said in a statement.

“MDA EMTs and paramedics are treating and evacuating to the hospital a man in his 30s with stab wounds while he is fully conscious and alert.”

“Upon our arrival we found an approximately 30-year-old man fully conscious at the scene,” said MDA paramedic Moshe Cordova. “He was suffering from stab wounds and we bandaged the wounds and stopped the bleeding. He was evacuated to the hospital with minor injuries. The terrorist was neutralized by security personnel.”

Taliban attack kills 14 in Kabul, wounds more than 100

While the U.S. continues its efforts to work out some type of peace deal with the Taliban, deadly terror attacks continue to devastate Afghanistan.

On Wednesday, a suicide bomber in a car targeted a police station in Kabul, killing four police officers and ten civilians while injuring another 145 people.

Never-ending Violence
These cowardly attacks by the Taliban must be stopped at all costs. They are not targeting the military but rather innocent civilians.

In this bombing, women and children were among the dead and wounded. This is not an honorable enemy, but a coward that chooses to fight in the shadows with no respect at all for the life of innocents.

The Taliban immediately claimed credit for the attack, claiming the police station was a “recruitment center.”

They also stated that a “large number of soldiers and police were killed or wounded.” That, obviously, was not the case.

Peace Talks
While this carnage was taking place, the U.S. continued to meet with Taliban representatives to attempt to broker a peace deal.

Representatives for both groups are meeting in Doha, which is about 4,000 miles away from Kabul. However, many question if the Taliban can be trusted to adhere to any deal that is brokered.

Some pundits believe they will use the time of “peace” to rebuild before carrying out another 9/11-style attack.

The death toll of innocents in 2019 has already surpassed the total of 2018 in Afghanistan, which up until now, had been the deadliest year on record.

In 2018, 3,800 were killed and another 7,000 were severely wounded. So far this year, 3,812 people have lost their lives in Afghanistan terror attacks. Even amid this violence, U.S. officials are confident an agreement will be reached before September 1.

If they are correct, the deal would call for a mass withdrawal of troops, 20,000 in total, 14,000 of which are American troops.

Proposals from interested vendors are due later this month.
FBI
SOCIAL MEDIA
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Federal Bureau of Investigations aims to acquire access to a “social media early alerting tool” that will help insiders proactively and reactively monitor how terrorist groups, foreign intelligence services, criminal organizations and other domestic threats use networking platforms to further their illegal efforts, according to a request for proposal amended this week. 

“With increased use of social media platforms by subjects of current FBI investigations and individuals that pose a threat to the United States, it is critical to obtain a service which will allow the FBI to identify relevant information from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other Social media platforms in a timely fashion,” the agency said in the RFP. “Consequently, the FBI needs near real-time access to a full range of social media exchanges in order to obtain the most current information available in furtherance of its law enforcement and intelligence missions.”

Though the request was initially released on July 8, the FBI amended it this week to extend the relevant dates: The agency’s answers to vendors moved from July 25 to Aug. 7, and the proposal due date shifted from Aug. 8 to Aug. 27. Though the original proposal listed the anticipated award date as Aug. 30, it could be pushed back due to these changes. 

Still, the proposal comes at a time when society is growing accustomed to the painful reality of the weaponization of social media outlets to cause harm. Earlier this year, a mass shooter in New Zealand opened fire at two mosques killing 50 people and injuring many more—he posted a 74-page manifesto and images of his weapons online ahead of the attack and livestreamed the shooting directly on Facebook Live. And the shooter who killed three people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California Sunday also previously posted online about an 1890 racist manifesto, which has been deemed a “staple among neo-Nazis and white supremacists on extremist sites.”

“It is an acknowledged fact that virtually every incident and subject of FBI investigative interest has a presence online,” the bureau said in the project’s statement of objectives. “The mission critical exploitation of social media enables the Bureau to proactively detect, disrupt, and investigate an ever growing diverse range of threats.”

The FBI ultimately wants an interactive tool that can be accessed by all headquarters division and field office personnel via web browsers and through multiple devices. Interested vendors should have the capabilities to offer the agency the ability to set filters around the specific content they see, send immediate and custom alerts and notifications around “mission-relevant” incidents, have broad international reach and a strong language translation capability and allow for real-time geolocation-based monitoring that can be refined as events develop. 

And when it comes to specific persons-of-interest and suspects already involved in open investigations, the bureau wants the ability to obtain their full-scope social media profiles from across the various platforms and insights into their affiliations with various groups across the world wide web.

“Items of interest in this context are social networks, user IDs, emails, IP addresses

and telephone numbers, along with likely additional account with similar IDs or aliases,” the agency said. 

The firm-fixed-price contract will be awarded on a best-value basis and will include one base year and four one-year option periods.

Divine Intervention My Abduction.
My experience.
I was abducted when I was about 4-5 and those living in Abertridwr Valley where I grew p, would know there are at least 5 different ways, could have lead to the various Mountains.
God showed my mother which route to take. Just before the Man would have turned a corner out of sight, my Mother had caught up, screamed my name and the man let go my hand and I ran back to my Mum. I remember it. I could tell you more of how God spoke to my mother, and what she was doing at the time. She was
guided which way to go. We didn't think those things happened in those days but as the bible says there is nothing new under the sun perverts were around then. I was only over the road playing with my friend Irene, we had gone down the allotment with her Grandfather Tudor then I was sent home for my dinner. They always used their side door, There was a backlane behind where there were many allotments,the guy could have been watching us and even knew where I lived.

Pastor credits 'divine intervention' after locating 8-y-o kidnapped girl: 'God literally led us to this place'

Fort Worth 8-year-old Salem Sabatka has been found safe thanks in part to the heroic actions of Jeff King, Pastor at Bear Creek Bible Church. | Forth Worth Police
A pastor who located an 8-year-old girl abducted in Fort Worth, Texas has credited “divine intervention” for her miraculous recovery, saying God literally led him to her location.

Jeff King, pastor at Bear Creek Bible Church in Keller, helped track down Salem Sabatka after she was abducted by Michael Webb, 51, while out walking with her mother in Fort Worth on Saturday.

Video footage of the kidnapping showed the girl’s mother jumping into the grey Ford Five Hundred and desperately trying to save her daughter before Webb shoved her out and drove off.

After King, a childhood friend of Salem's parents, heard about the incident, he and a friend began canvassing the streets of Fort Worth searching for the suspect's car.   

“I was sitting at home with my wife when a friend texted and said that our friends' daughter had been kidnapped. All I could think is what are we going to do to help?” King told NBC DFW. “We were told by detectives the best places to check are hotels, apartments, and parks.”

The two men searched until after midnight when they got a tip from someone that they should check out a hotel in Forest Hill. After searching the car park at the tip-off location they found no sign of the suspect's car.

However, after pulling into the Wood Springs Suites hotel, the two men saw a car that fit the description.

“God literally led us to this place. It was not on my itinerary, we were not trying to go there, we just drove by. It was divine intervention, 100 percent,” King said.

The pastor and father-of-two called the police, who then found Salem in the hotel miles away from where she had been abducted.

“It was a crazy moment. I asked police, 'Did I hear that right? Did they find her? Is she safe?'” he said. “Then finally one officer said, 'Yes sir, they have her.'”

Police allowed King to be the one to call Salem's parents and tell them the little girl had been found alive.

"I feel like God allowed me to be a tool," the pastor said.

Isil extremists are using Instagram to promote jihad and incite support for terror attacks on the West, an investigation by The Telegraph has found.
They are circumventing the platform’s security checks to post images and text celebrating the killings of “kafir” (unbelievers) accompanied by images of dead soldiers and beheadings as well as threatening terrorist atrocities on the scale of the Sri Lankan suicide bombings that claimed 253 lives.
Some posts brazenly use Isil’s logo or images of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, as their profile pictures and urge followers to join jihad.

The eight blasts today ripped through landmarks around Colombo and on Sri Lanka's east coast, targeting Christians, hotel guests and foreign tourists, leaving at least 450 people wounded, and killing three British citizens, and two UK-US dual citizens.

Six bombs went off in quick succession before another two blasts two hours later in Sri Lanka's worst violence since the end of its decades-long civil war in 2009. 
As details of the horror emerged today, Sri Lankan TV chef Shantha Mayadunne and her London-based daughter Nisanga were among the first victims named. 
Meanwhile a manager at the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo said the attacker had set off the horrific explosion in a packed restaurant at 8.30am, after waiting in a queue for a breakfast buffet.

At least 158 people were killed and hundreds more were injured in a series of bombing attacks on several churches and hotels in Sri Lanka throughout Easter Sunday, officials said.

The first six blasts were triggered almost simultaneously on Sunday morning. Three high-end hotels and one church in the capital, Colombo, were hit, while two additional churches were targeted elsewhere in the country during Easter services, Sri Lankan police said.


Hours later, a seventh explosive was set off near a hotel in Dehawali, just south of Colombo, killing at least two people, and moments after that another bomb was detonated in a northern neighborhood of the capital, police said.

After this second wave of attacks, Sri Lanka’s defense ministry ordered a night-time curfew across the country, and authorities blocked access to a number of social media websites and applications. 
The sites hit in the bombings were all heavily frequented by tourists, and at least 35 foreign nationals were killed in the explosions, police told AFP. A hospital source said Americans, British and Dutch citizens were among the dead.
Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe called the blasts “cowardly” and said the government was working to “contain the situation.”

“I call upon all Sri Lankans during this tragic time to remain united and strong,” he wrote in a tweet.

Leaders from around the world voiced their support for Sri Lanka after the attacks.

“The attacks in Sri Lanka, including those at prayer celebrating Easter Sunday are a despicable crime. We are all children of God; an attack on one religion is an attack on us all. Israel sends condolences to the families of the victims and wishes for the recovery of the injured,” President Reuven Rivlin wrote in a tweet.

Local security officials said at least two of the attacks appeared to have been carried out by suicide bombers.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it was not aware of any Israeli victims in the attacks, but was still looking into the matter.
 
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the apparent coordinated attack.

Sri Lanka’s police chief made a nationwide alert 10 days before Sunday’s bomb attacks in the country that suicide bombers planned to target “prominent churches,” according to the warning seen by AFP.

“A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,” said the alert, which was sent by police chief Pujuth Jayasundara to top officers.

The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that came to notice last year when it was linked to the vandalization of Buddhist statues.

According to hospital officials, at least 40 people were killed in the Colombo attacks; at least 62 were killed in Negombo, north of the capital; and at least 27 were killed in Batticalao, on the country’s eastern coast.

The first blast ripped through St. Anthony’s Shrine in Colombo.

Alex Agileson, who was in the vicinity, said buildings in the surrounding area shook with the blast.

At least 160 people injured in the St. Anthony’s blast had been admitted to the Colombo National Hospital by mid-morning, an official told AFP.

Another explosion was reported at St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, a Catholic-majority town north of Colombo. The church appealed for help on its Facebook page, and posted graphic photographs and videos from the scene.

“A bomb attack to our church, please come and help if your family members are there,” the church wrote.

Photos from the St. Sebastian’s Church circulating on social media showed the roof had been almost blown off in the blast. The floor was littered with a mixture of roof tiles, splintered wood and blood.

Several people could be seen covered in blood, with some trying to help those with more serious injuries.

A church in the town of Batticalao, in the east of the country, was also targeted in the attack, police said.

An official at the Batticaloa hospital told AFP more than 300 people had been admitted to hospitals with injuries following the blast there.

At least one of the victims was killed in Colombo’s Cinnamon Grand Hotel, near the prime minister’s official residence, where the blast ripped through a restaurant, a hotel official told AFP.
The island nation of Sri Lanka, just off the coast from India, endured a brutal and bloody civil war from 1983 to 2009, when the government declared victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam insurgent group, also known as the Tamil Tigers.
Only around six percent of mainly Buddhist Sri Lanka is Catholic, but the religion is seen as a unifying force because it includes people from both the Tamil and majority Sinhalese ethnic groups.

At least 156 people are dead in an Easter Sunday terrorist attack targeting Christians in Sri Lanka after eight explosions ripped through high-end hotels and churches as suspected suicide bombers blew themselves up. 

The initial six explosions injured as many as 500 people, including Japanese and British citizens, and 35 foreigners - from the UK, US and Netherlands - are among the dead, sources say.

Reports now indicate a seventh explosion in the southern Colombo suburb of Dehiwala - which killed two people - and an eighth in the northern suburb of Orugodawatta.
Sri Lanka's defence ministry has now ordered a night-time curfew, starting at 6.00pm local time (12.30GMT), running until 6.00am local time, the ministry said.  
Two of the blasts were suspected to have been carried out by suicide bombers, according to one security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak with reporters.  

The official said at least 45 people had been killed in Colombo, where three hotels and a church were hit, along with another 67 in the church attack in Negombo, north of the capital, with another 25 dead at a church in the town of Batticaloa, in the east of the country.  

The three hotels hit were the Shangri-La Colombo, Kingsbury Hotel in Colombo and the Cinnamon Grand Colombo.

The first blasts were reported at St Anthony's Church in Colombo and St Sebastian's in the town of Negombo just outside the capital, with another reported at Zion Church in the eastern town of Batticaloa.

Prime Minister Theresa May today tweeted: 'The acts of violence against churches and hotels in Sri Lanka are truly appalling, and my deepest sympathies go out to all of those affected at this tragic time. We must stand together to make sure that no one should ever have to practise their faith in fear. 

Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena said he was shocked by the explosions and appealed for calm.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe wrote on Twitter: 'I strongly condemn the cowardly attacks on our people today.

'I call upon all Sri Lankans during this tragic time to remain united and strong. Please avoid propagating unverified reports and speculation. The government is taking immediate steps to contain this situation.'

Foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said he was shocked by the attacks in Sri Lanka, tweeting: 'I'm deeply shocked and saddened by the horrifying attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka today.

'To target those gathered for worship on Easter Sunday is particularly wicked.

'My prayers are with the victims and their families, and with those assisting in the response.'

An official at the Batticaloa hospital said 300 people had been admitted with injuries following the blast there. 

Local TV showed damage at the Cinnamon Grand, Shangri-La and Kingsbury hotels. 

The explosion ripped off the roof and knocked out doors and windows at St. Sebastian's, where people carried the wounded away from blood-stained pews, local TV footage showed.

Sri Lankan security officials said they were investigating. Police immediately sealed off the areas.   

The magnitude of the violence recalls the bombings perpetrated by the separatist Tamil Tigers that targeted a bank, a shopping centre, a Buddhist temple and hotels popular with tourists a decade ago.

No one has claimed responsibility for the latest blasts.

In 2009 Sri Lankan security forces defeated Tamil Tiger rebels who had fought to create an independent homeland for the country's ethnic minority Tamils.

The UN initially estimated the death toll from 26 years of fighting to be about 100,000 but a UN experts' panel later said some 45,000 ethnic Tamils may have been killed in the last months of the fighting alone.

According to reports, Sri Lanka's police chief made a nationwide alert 10 days before Sunday's bomb attacks in the country that suicide bombers planned to hit 'prominent churches'.

Police chief Pujuth Jayasundara sent an intelligence warning to top officers on April 11 setting out the threat.

'A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama'ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,' said the alert.

The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that came to notice last year when it was linked to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues.

The country's Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, condemned the 'cowardly' attacks after calling an emergency security council meeting, a source said.  

At least 160 people were injured in the St Anthony's blast had been admitted to the Colombo National Hospital by mid-morning, an official said.

'A bomb attack to our church, please come and help if your family members are there,' read a post in English on the Facebook page of the St Sebastian's Church at Katuwapitiya in Negombo.

Shortly after those blasts were reported, police confirmed three hotels in the capital had also been hit, along with a church in the town of Batticalao, in the east of the country.

Photos circulating on social media showed the roof of one church had been almost blown off in the blast.

The floor was littered with a mixture of roof tiles, splintered wood and blood.
Several people could be seen covered in blood, with some trying to help those with more serious injuries.

Only around six percent of mainly Buddhist Sri Lanka is Catholic, but the religion is seen as a unifying force because it includes people from both the Tamil and majority Sinhalese ethnic groups.

St Anthony's Shrine and the three hotels where the blasts took place are in Colombo, and are frequented by foreign tourists. 

The British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka has condemned 'evil attacks'.

James Dauris said he was in Colombo with his family at a church service which was cut short by the attacks.

He tweeted: 'Our prayers for the victims of these evil attacks, and for their families. Our thoughts are with the medical staff, police and all involved in the response.' 

Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner wrote: 'Shocked and saddened by news of church and hotel bombings in Sri Lanka. Profound condolences to those who suffered in this terrorist attack, another attack on innocent people, truly awful news.'

Her Labour colleague Mary Creagh posted on Twitter: 'Sickening #EasterSunday #SriLanka terrorist attacks on churches & hotels. Terrible to target Christians celebrating our greatest feast day. My prayers are with victims, their families & everyone caught up in this cruel violence.'

Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, wrote: 'To target Christians on this their most sacred day is evil. Sending love to Sri Lankans caught in this terror.'

Brexit minister James Cleverly wrote: 'Sad and shocking news from Sri Lanka. My thoughts are with the Sri Lankan community both here in the UK and around the world and to those who have lost friends or family in these terrible attacks.'

A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: 'We are aware of reports of a number of explosions in Sri Lanka, including Colombo, and we are urgently seeking information from the local authorities.

'British nationals in Sri Lanka should follow the instructions of the local authorities and check FCO travel advice for updates.'

Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan wrote: 'Strongly condemn the horrific terrorist attack in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday resulting in precious lives lost & hundreds injured. 

'My profound condolences go to our Sri Lankan brethren. Pakistan stands in complete solidarity with Sri Lanka in their hour of grief.'

Prime Minister of India Chowkidar Narendra Modi said: 'Strongly condemn the horrific blasts in Sri Lanka. There is no place for such barbarism in our region. India stands in solidarity with the people of Sri Lanka.

'My thoughts are with the bereaved families and prayers with the injured.'

Blasts come amid rising religious tension between Buddhists, Muslims and Christians
The Easter Sunday attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka are the latest flashpoint amid ongoing religious tensions in the island nation. 

Sri Lanka has long been divided between the majority Sinhalese, who are overwhelmingly Buddhist, and minority Tamils who are Hindu, Muslim and Christian. 

The country remains deeply scarred by its 1983-2009 civil war, when Tamil rebels fought to create an independent homeland.  

The rebels were eventually crushed but a religious divide has taken hold in recent years. 

A Christian group said there had been 86 cases of discrimination, threats and violence against followers of Jesus last year, with another 26 so far this year. 

The U.S. State Department warned in a 2018 report that Christians had been pressured to close places of worship after they were deemed 'unauthorised gatherings'.

The report also said Buddhist monks regularly tried to close down Christian and Muslim places of worship.   

There have also been attacks on Muslims, with the government forced to declare a state of emergency amid a spate of anti-Muslim rioting. 

Hard-line Buddhist groups accuse Muslims of forcing people to convert and destroying sacred Buddhist sites. 

One radical Muslim group, the NTJ, has been linked to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues and has also reportedly plotted to attack Christian churches. 

Out of Sri Lanka's total population of around 22million, 70 percent are Buddhist, 13 per cent Hindu, 10 per cent Muslim, and seven per cent Christian, according to the country's 2012 census.

Criticize Israel all you want, but this is what they are really doing

Israel is on its way to curing some of the most well known diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Crohn’s disease. For such a small country, their constant medical breakthroughs are astonishing. And this recent one deserves a major applause. If the world wants to boycott Israel, then they don’t deserve to benefit from any of these medical advances, including this new one.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s, Crohn’s, and Colitis are not diseases that anyone wants to hear they have, or that someone close to them has. Although not all chronic diseases are fatal, managing them is difficult. Israel is working to change that. The tiny, Jewish country is heading towards a cure for these diseases – with just one drug. Just ONE! Among these diseases that Israel is attempting to treat is MS, which might be the most common of these diseases. It affects millions of people all over the world. People have been eagerly waiting for cures to these illnesses. Although it might take years and some money before human trials, the potential drug gives results which other treatments have not. And that is something to celebrate.
BDS
Israel is a country that does not only care about its own people. Israel’s medical breakthroughs, inventions, technology, and its pure existence, have given hope and life to people all over the world – even to its enemies. If that is the case, why does the BDS movement exist? BDS supporters want to falsely criticize Israel while still benefiting from Israel’s inventions and discoveries. Why is Israel constantly criticized for absolutely nothing, or better yet, complete fallacies? It really makes you wonder. The only answers are complete ignorance or complete anti-Semitism. So go ahead, criticize Israel. But you’ll be the one losing out in the end. Despite the constant pressure, accusations, and double standard, Israel will continue to do what it does best: Better the entire world.
