<em>Western elites have mastered the Soviet arsenal of repressions perfectly</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
The report stating that Tommy Robinson was transferred to a special
closed prison, Belmarsh in the South of London, which was described as
“jihadi training camp,” has brought an ominous deja-vu to me.<br />
<br />
…In the 1990s, we learned a gloomy story about N. In the USSR, he was
a dedicated Zionist, and together with other Zionists and religious
Jews, he was trying to immigrate to Israel. However, unlike many others
who were pressured into cooperation with KGB (in no way we can blame
them for that), N. stood steadfastly and uncompromisingly. And as a
result, the KGB sent him not to a solitary cell in which N. was
detained, but to a common one – together with criminals. Day by day he
was subject to violence – physical, verbal and sexual. He survived
unprecedented humiliation and even many years after that in Israel, he
could not recover completely from the horror he had experienced. “The
System” knew how to break a man.<br />
<br />
Modern pseudo-democratic regimes have learned the post-Stalinist
Soviet arsenal of repressions perfectly. The first and foremost of these
lessons is simple: it is not necessary to murder a person, especially
in the name of the law. Murder would give him or her a halo of
martyrdom. One should only deprive them of their will and instill fear
in the hearts of their followers. This practice has been widely used
against dissidents, nationalists, etc.<br />
<br />
The second fundamental lesson is that the regime itself should not be
implicated. The “dirty work,” wrote Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, should be
done by “socially allied elements.” In the USSR, these were criminals
who collaborated with the authorities and got privileged positions as a
result of this. In case of Tommy Robinson, such a role was assigned to
“jihadists” in prisons. Thus, the authorities are not only relieved of
any responsibility, but they can assert that any violence against “an
enemy of the democracy” (“fascist,” “racist” etc.) is a spontaneous
manifestation of indignation. Even if the person is not subject to
violence, the very fact of being involved in such an environment is an
unambiguous hint to him and his supporters.<br />
<br />
Anyway, nobody knows or will ever know… As we remember, the
“far-right extremist” 35-year-old Kevin Crehan, who made a joke by
having left uncooked bacon on the threshold of the mosque of Bristol in
2016, died in prison under suspicious circumstances from a so-called
“drug overdose” in 2018. These “mysterious deaths” are very well known
to everybody who lived in the USSR.<br />
Prison may have different functions. It can be a repressive apparatus
in relation to some people, and a place of training of “future cadres”
in relation to others. And as Stalin liked to say, “Cadres decide
everything.”<br />
<br />
Modern “socially allied elements” are detained in privileged
conditions — not only in England, but throughout the Western world,
including Israel, where Palestinian terrorists live in the luxury of a
four-star hotel, with plenty of food, libraries and television,
surrounded by their comrades, having the right to study through distance
learning, entitled to regular visits of their relatives, etc. They can
study the Quran, preach jihad sermons, and maintain contact with the
outside world. For “enemies of the nation” (once again, the term was
widely used by Stalin), there are completely different conditions:
obscurity, lack of any comfort, and life in perpetual fear.<br />
<br />
Use of prisons as a means of intimidating dissidents is not the only
thing that the Western establishment has adopted from the Soviet
repressive apparatus. Another powerful lever are the informal social
groups used to fight against “enemies of the nation” (today’s
“fascists,” “racists,” “supremacists,” and so on).<br />
<br />
In my youth, in the mid-1980s, the so-called “Lyubertsy Squads”
(named after the city of Lyubertsy from which they originated, near
Moscow) appeared in Moscow. These were well-organized groups of young
men going in for hand-to-hand combat, boxing and martial arts.
Well-coordinated and disciplined like wolf packs, they scoured the
streets and public transport, tracking down representatives of the
informal youth culture — hippies, heavy metal music fans, punks, etc.
Having found them, they beat them brutally. They had their own anthem,
songs and uniform — wide plaid pants and leather jackets. In a short
time, they reached far beyond the boundaries of Lyubertsy and Moscow in
general. Everybody knew that they were supervised by KGB, which used
them to fight against “aliens to Soviet cultural elements.”<br />
<br />
Today, in almost all Western countries you can discover militant
“informal” groups that systematically engage in intimidation of
opponents. In the USA these are, first of all, Antifa and Black Lives
Matter. The mass violence at Berkeley was just a beginning. This was
followed by a series of actions of intimidation. During the events in
Charlottesville, even a reporter for the New York Times, Sheryl Gay
Stolberg, admitted that she saw “club-wielding ‘antifa’ beating white
nationalists being led out of the park.”<br />
<br />
In August last year, they even beat a supporter of Bernie Sanders, who
came out to demonstrate against fascism with an American flag. The
reason? “The US flag is a symbol of fascism.”<br />
In October 2018, their victim was John David Rice-Cameron — the
conservative son of Susan Rice. The incident happened at a Brett
Kavanaugh rally in Stanford University.<br />
<br />
Then on June 30, 2019, the conservative journalist and editor of
Quillette Andy Ngo and three civilians were assaulted with weapons by
Antifa’s activists in Portland. It is not surprising that Ted Cruz
requested that Antifa be added to the list of terrorist organizations.<br />
<br />
In Germany, local militants of Antifa organize periodic pogroms of
the “enemies of progress.” Their last object was the Drei Kastanien
restaurant in Leipzig in January of this year, where AfD (“Alternative
For Germany”) activists liked to gather.<br />
<br />
There are Muslim “Sharia patrols” in almost every Western country.
They detain, search and demean everybody of whom they don’t approve, as
did the Lyubertsy. And also like the Lyubertsy, they receive poorly
disguised support from the authorities and the establishment.<br />
<br />
The streets of German cities are patrolled by Muslim bikers led by
Marcel Kunst (now Mahmud Saddam), who converted to Islam. Practically
everywhere you can learn and hear about “Sharia police”: in Germany,
Great Britain, New York City, France, Sweden. They are presented by the
media as an innocent and even praiseworthy initiative aimed at, firstly,
strengthening people’s sense of security (oh my God!) and secondly,
promoting cultural enrichment. In the Soviet ideology, this is called
the “strengthening of the ideals of communist society.” Socially allied
elements have become an integral part of the “Apparatus.”<br />
<br />
Can the people of the West change the situation? Yes, they can. There
is still a window of opportunity. They can vote for the truly
right-wing parties, go to demonstrations, as courageous people in
Eastern Europe and the USSR did (and continue do it today in Russia);
they can publish open letters, like dissidents did. But first of all,
one should understand and recognize the main thing: the current
political system in the West is not democracy in general, and of course,
not “liberal democracy” in Alexis de Tocqueville’s terms. This is a
perverted cultural totalitarianism of a new type, wrapped in beautiful
slogans, using pseudo-Soviet rhetoric and Soviet repression tools to
intimidate anyone who dissents and doubts, in order to turn them into
“consumer plankton.” The ideas of freedom, liberal values and democracy
are entrusted to the militants of Antifa, BLM, “Sharia patrols” and the
“jihadists” of Belmarsh prison. Welcome to anti-utopia.<br />

If Saturday's horrifying terrorist attack in an El Paso Walmart had
taken place in Jerusalem, leaving 22 Israelis dead, the killer would rot in
jail knowing his family would be taken care of, <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/think-tank-terrorists-to-be-paid-as-pa-allots-nis-1-2b-for-inmates-martyrs/" target="_blank">paid every month</a> by his government.<o:p></o:p><br />
He might one day have <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-authority-names-park-after-arch-terrorist/" target="_blank">a park</a>, or <a href="https://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=23953" target="_blank">a school</a>, or <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+WQ+E-2011-003116+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=GA" target="_blank">a street</a> named in his honor. He would be held up as a
hero and used to <a href="https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Fatahs-armed-wing-calls-for-more-attacks-against-Israel-426185" target="_blank">inspire more killing</a>. Children would be <a href="http://www.jta.org/2013/10/09/israel/latest-examples-of-palestinian-incitement-misinterpreted-some-analysts-say" target="_blank">encouraged</a> to follow his lead.<o:p></o:p><br />
This is by no means an exhaustive list of how the Palestinian Authority
and others incite violence against Israeli civilians. But it's why, in the
wake of discussions about the role political rhetoric plays in attacks like
the El Paso massacre, CNN anchor Jake Tapper made a passing reference to
Palestinian incitement.<o:p></o:p><br />
For the sin of invoking a real thing, Israel-haters are demanding Tapper
be fired.<o:p></o:p><br />
It seems to have started with <a href="https://twitter.com/SanaSaeed" target="_blank">Sana Saeed</a>, a host and producer with Al-Jazeera's
online arm, <a href="https://www.ajplus.net/" target="_blank">AJ+</a>.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="466" id="_x0000_i1034" src="https://www.investigativeproject.org/pics/large/4331.jpg" width="400" /><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
"Collect your man, CNN," she <a href="https://twitter.com/SanaSaeed/status/1158196723187167233" target="_blank">wrote</a> Sunday after <a href="https://twitter.com/SanaSaeed/status/1158193791213477888" target="_blank">calling Tapper's remarks</a> "the height of unethical
journalism." That's a charge on a scale with plagiarizing, lying or
stealing information. What, exactly, did <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtsueBa6v3Y" target="_blank">Tapper
say</a> to generate such an accusation?<o:p></o:p><br />
"You hear conservatives talk all the time—rightly, in my view—about
the tone set by, well, the Arab world," Tapper said. "The
Palestinians and the way they talk about Israelis, justifying ... no direct
link between what the leader says and the violence to some poor Israeli
girl in a pizzeria—but the idea you're validating this hatred."<o:p></o:p><br />
"You can't compare the ideology of Hamas with anything else,"
Tapper said, "but at the same time, either tone matters or it
doesn't."<o:p></o:p><br />
Sober viewers might note that Tapper is using the example of Palestinian
incitement to ask whether people are being inconsistent in minimizing
political rhetoric in the El Paso shooting. But Palestinian advocates
blinded by a hatred for Israel are not sober viewers.<o:p></o:p><br />
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accused Tapper of "[c]omparing
Palestinian human rights activists to terrorist white nationalists,"
and dismissing it as a lie. It is a lie, Tapper <a href="https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1158428558747951104" target="_blank">replied</a>, because that's not at all what he said.<o:p></o:p><br />

<img border="0" height="285" id="_x0000_i1035" src="https://www.investigativeproject.org/pics/large/4332.jpg" width="400" /><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
He invoked a dead Israeli girl in a pizzeria – if Tlaib wants to argue
the <a href="https://mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFA-Archive/2000/Pages/Suicide%20bombing%20at%20the%20Sbarro%20pizzeria%20in%20Jerusale.aspx" target="_blank">suicide bomber</a> was a "human rights advocate,"
let her do it on the House floor.<o:p></o:p><br />
<a href="https://mpowerchange.org/about/" target="_blank">MPower Change</a>,
run by Tlaib ally and Israel-basher Linda Sarsour, then launched a campaign
<a href="https://act.mpowerchange.org/sign/canceltapper/" target="_blank">demanding
Tapper's firing</a>. In addition to rejecting the very idea of a Jewish
state as "<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/3791/more-radicalism-from-another-white-house-guest" target="_blank">creepy</a>," Sarsour <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/7630/ipt-exclusive-linda-sarsour-blood-libel" target="_blank">spreads a blood libe</a>l that holds American Jews liable
for police shootings of unarmed black people.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Tapper distorted the violence in El Paso by invoking occupied
Palestinians and Arabs out of nowhere and comparing them to the white
nationalist shooter," an MPower Change <a href="https://act.mpowerchange.org/sign/canceltapper/" target="_blank">statement</a>
said. "... By inserting Palestinians and Arabs in a conversation about
white supremacist violence, Tapper pushed the Islamophobic 'terrorist'
narrative about Muslims and Arabs that's been mainstreamed over the past
few decades."<o:p></o:p><br />
People can debate whether Tapper had a point about rhetoric inciting
Saturday's bloodshed. But MPower Change's description misrepresents the
entire exchange. That didn't stop the anti-Israel group <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/5943/panelists-prove-jewish-voice-for-peace-is-neither" target="_blank">Jewish Voice for Peace</a> (JVP) from joining MPower
Change's campaign.<o:p></o:p><br />
It's not the first misguided run Sarsour has made at Tapper. When he <a href="https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/887404064811757568" target="_blank">criticized her</a> and others in the national Women's March
for praising fugitive cop-killer <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists/joanne-deborah-chesimard" target="_blank">Assata Shakur</a> in 2017, Sarsour <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/linda-sarsour-echoes-donald-trump-smears-cnns-jake-tapper" target="_blank">accused</a> Tapper of being part of the
"alt-right."<o:p></o:p><br />
Again, Tapper's question after El Paso challenged the Trump
administration and its supporters – those Sarsour, Tlaib, JVP all oppose –
to consider whether their rhetoric might have been a factor in a
self-professed <a href="https://hillreporter.com/el-paso-shooter-admonished-race-mixing-in-manifesto-spoke-highly-of-trump-in-social-media-42455" target="_blank">white nationalist's terrorist attack</a>. But they couldn't
see that because he dared mention Palestinian incitement.<o:p></o:p><br />
We have taken note of the <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/4779/blind-hate-drives-islamists-to-absurdity" target="_blank">blind hate</a> Islamists and their allies have for Israel,
showing how it drives them to make <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/4870/maajid-nawaz-just-indirectly-called-2-cair" target="_blank">insane</a> comparisons between Israel's army and ISIS and <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/7477/blind-hate-drives-a-wedge-among-islamophobia" target="_blank">blacklisting</a> Muslims who support Palestinian
nationalism but aren't sufficiently rabid in their criticism of Israel.<o:p></o:p><br />
This campaign isn't going anywhere. But it's another clear example of
how those who claim to combat hate have plenty of their own demons to
wrestle.<o:p></o:p><br />

objectives: First, to deprive the Iranian regime of the money it
needs to support its destabilizing activities. Second, to force the
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the negotiating table to conclude a
comprehensive and enduring deal. The comprehensive deal we seek with
the Iranian regime should address four key areas: its nuclear

support for terrorist groups and proxies, and its treatment and

from HAMAS, Israeli media on Tuesday August 6 reported an
eye-catching increase in Iran's financial assistance to this
Palestinian group. Quoting unnamed Israeli government sources, these
reports say Iran has increased its usual annual $100 million aide to
HAMAS to $360 million after the visit. The Jerusalem Post and
Israel's Channel 12 TV say the 3.5 fold rise in aide to HAMAS is
aimed at meeting certain demands by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. According
to these reports, Iran has asked HAMAS to provide Tehran with
information about Israel's missile capabilities.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

warning in a speech broadcasted live on state-television on Tuesday.
"Peace with Iran is the mother of peace," Rouhani said.
"War with Iran is the mother of all war." Tensions with
Iran have steadily increased since U.S. President Trump withdrew the
United States from the 2015 Iranian Nuclear Agreement and re-imposed
harsh economic sanctions on Iran. Rouhani and other Iranian officials
accuse the United States of engaging in "economic
terrorism." Iran, according to Rouhani, is willing to talk with
the United States - if all sanctions are lifted.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Iran has agreed to increase Hamas' monthly payments in
exchange for "information about Israel's missile
capabilities," an Israeli report said on Tuesday. The Israeli
Channel 12 said that Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, during a recent
meeting in Tehran with nine Hamas officials, expressed his readiness
to raise the movement's monthly allocated financial support to $30
million. Iran has long provided financial support to Hamas, but has
decreased it sharply in recent years because of differences over the
Syrian crisis. The new Iranian support is a powerful boost to Hamas,
which is suffering a severe financial crisis in the Gaza Strip and
elsewhere in the West Bank and abroad.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

sanctions and the Islamic republic's President Hassan Rohani said
restrictive measures must be lifted first before negotiations can

countries stems from last year when U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew
from a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers and imposed
new and harsher sanctions on Iran's oil and financial sectors.
Iranian state TV showed Rohani meeting with Foreign Minister Mohammad

the restrictive measures are an act of "economic

impulses, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said the Islamic Republic
favored talks with the US administration if the latter lifted all the
sanctions it reimposed following its withdrawal in May 2018 from the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). "Before everything
else, they need to remove all of the sanctions regardless of whether
they want to return to the deal or not, which is up to them,"
Rouhani told senior officials at the country's Foreign Ministry
headquarters Aug. 6. The comment demonstrated an apparent shift from
Rouhani's earlier adamant stance that pinned any potential
rapprochement to the US reentry in the JCPOA. "What they are
doing today is but economic terrorism," the Iranian president
noted in reference to the sanctions, which Tehran has repeatedly
lamented as a campaign targeting the livelihood of ordinary citizens.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Israel is playing a role in a US-led coalition to secure
the Persian Gulf from the threats posed by Iran, the Jewish state's
foreign minister revealed on Tuesday. The Israeli news site Mako
reported that Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed the cooperation
at a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Katz said Israel was a participant in a dialogue on the Gulf
situation with the US and its allies, and was also involved in
intelligence operations. He said that such collaboration was very
much in Israel's interest, as it helped curb Iran's power and
aggression while strengthening burgeoning ties with Gulf Arab states.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based political party, is facing
huge political and financial challenges because of the increased U.S.
sanctions against Iran and the party's military involvement in
different parts of the Arab world, analysts told Xinhua "To
start with, salaries of Hezbollah's fighters who are at the forefront
of any military confrontation have dropped by around 30
percent," Youssef Diab, political analyst, told Xinhua. Since
U.S. President Donald Trump introduced new restrictions on trade with
Iran last year, Iran's ability to finance allies such as Hezbollah
has been reduced.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="field-body">
Last weekend, Patrick Crusius shot down 22 victims in El Paso,
Texas. Ten years earlier in Fort Hood, Texas, some 500 miles to the
east, U.S. Army major Nidal Hasan was planning a deadly attack, similar
in some ways but decidedly different in response from the media and
political establishments. Unlike the El Paso shooter, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, then headed by Robert Mueller, was on to Hasan from
the start.<br />
<br />
On May 31, 2009, the Muslim army psychiatrist, a
self-described “soldier of Allah,” contacted terrorist mastermind Anwar
al-Awliki, probing whether it was okay to kill American soldiers by
suicide bombings and such in order to help fellow Muslim combatants.
“This logic seems to make sense to me,” Hasan replied. These and other
emails between the two were in the hands of the FBI at that time.<br />
<br />
In June of 2009, the FBI’s Washington field office responded “WFO does
not currently assess Hasan to be involved in terrorist activities.” The
FBI promptly dropped the case until November 5, when field agents said:
“You know who that is. That’s our boy.”<br />
<br />
As it emerged in the 2012 congressional hearings on <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-112hhrg81127/html/CHRG-112hhrg81127.htm"><em>Lessons from Fort Hood</em>: <em>Improving our Ability to Connect the Dots</em></a>, their boy Nidal Hasan, “walked into the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood, Texas, and shouted the classic jihadist term ‘<em>Allahu Akbar’</em>
and opened fire on unarmed soldiers and civilians. He killed 13 and
wounded 42 others. This was the most horrific terrorist attack on U.S.
soil since 9/11.” That was accurate, but did not capture the details.<br />
<br />
Using privately purchased handguns, Major Hasan chased down wounded
soldiers and shot them in the back. He gunned down Pvt. Francheska
Velez, pregnant with her first child. He would have killed more unarmed
American soldiers if civilian police officer Kim Munley had not wounded
Hasan after taking three bullets from the shooter. His victims included
Hispanics and African Americans but the commander in chief of U.S. armed
forces did not call Hasan a racist or the attack a hate crime.<br />
President Barack Obama, the Democrat formerly known as Barry Soetoro,
did not call Nidal Hassan’s mass murder an act of terrorism or even gun
violence. He called it “workplace violence,” which did more than
downplay the Islamic terrorism on display in the mass murder. Since it
was “workplace” and not combat, it also prevented the victims from
getting medals and the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fort-hood-hero-obama-betrayed-victims/story?id=18465024">medical treatment they deserved</a>. The president also <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/white-house-denies-09-fort-hood-victim-meeting/story?id=23288867">declined to receive victims at the White House</a> and field their complaints.<br />
<br />
One of the victims, Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, noted that Hasan got better
medical treatment than he did, while the shooter continued to draw his
pay. At the time, it did not emerge that the FBI had dropped the ball
on Hasan and did nothing to stop him. The policies of POTUS 44, who
refused to link Islam and terrorism, had enabled Hasan to complete his
deadly mission.<br />
<br />
As the 2012 hearings revealed, during his
medical residency Hasan demonstrated “evidence of violent extremism,”
sympathy for radical Islam, and even wrote papers defending Osama bin
Laden. “Yet no action was taken. Instead, Major Hasan was rewarded for
his work and promoted.” In reality, “Hasan was barely a competent
psychiatrist, whose radical views alarmed his colleagues.”<br />
<br />

So the Army and FBI looked the other way when the terrorist
committed mass murder at Fort Hood, Texas. Those who find this
disturbing might jump ahead to 2019 in El Paso, Texas.<br />
<br />
Imagine
if, under President Trump, the FBI had full knowledge of Patrick
Crusius’ plans to gun down innocents, yet did nothing to stop him from
killing 22 people. Imagine if President Trump declined to call this an
example of evil, mass murder, a hate crime, or even gun violence, and
instead said it was “workplace violence” or some equivalent.<br />
<br />
Imagine the outcry if President Trump had made such an absurd
designation to prevent victims from getting the medical treatment they
needed, and declined to meet with the wounded. And consider the response
if President Trump took no action against those who knew of Crusius’
plans yet did not thing to stop him.<br />
<br />
By all indications, the
FBI bosses who failed to take action against Nidal Hasan have never been
named. It remains uncertain if any action was taken against them, and
whether any still work for the FBI in any capacity. The dynamic was
different in those days.<br />
<br />
The political and media
establishments blamed President Obama for nothing. They now blame
President Trump for everything, including the attacks in El Paso and
Dayton. Like the “workplace violence” designation, this is fathomless
absurdity for the ages.<br />
<br />
Authorities in El Paso plan to seek
the death penalty for Patrick Cruisius, and in Texas, death sentences
tend to be carried out. By contrast, Nidal Hasan was sentenced to death
in 2013. He remains an unrepentant soldier of Allah and in prison
expressed a<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/fort-hood-gunman-join-isis/story?id=25173016"> desire to join ISIS</a>.<br />
<br />
November 5 will mark ten years since this terrorist murdered 13
Americans. As President Trump likes to say, we’ll see what happens.<br />

Council's summer activity, according to an Aug. 6 report by the Meir Amit
Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC). The ceremony,
entitled "Our Generations are the Message of Victory," took
place in the <i>hussainiya</i> (a Shiite social/religious club of sorts)
of the city of Nabatieh. It was also attended by the chairman of
Hezbollah's Executive Council, Sayyid Hashem Safi al-din. Hezbollah
operatives from the military wing and political institutions took part in
the ceremony, as well as Shiite clerics. The venue was decorated with
posters honoring Hezbollah's shahids, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah,
and Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Egypt's capital killed at least 20 people and injured dozens more in the
deadliest terrorist attack in Cairo in more than two years. Egypt's Interior
Ministry said the blast occurred late Sunday after an explosive-laden car
driving the wrong way slammed into three others on Cairo's Nile Corniche,
sparking a chaotic scene of fire and metal as rescuers rushed in,
according to footage of the aftermath. Another 47 people were injured,
the ministry said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The fate of Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's 2017 <a href="http://mdrules.elaws.us/comar/01.01.2017.25" target="_blank">executive
order</a> barring state contractors from participating in the anti-Israel
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement is in the hands of a federal
judge. The order violates First Amendment rights, a <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1063.pdf" target="_blank">lawsuit</a> filed by a former Maryland state legislator
claims.<o:p></o:p><br />
Saqib Ali is represented by the Council on American Islamic Relations
(CAIR) Legal Defense Fund. Hogan and the state's Attorney General Brian
Frosh are listed as defendants. U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake
heard arguments last week concerning a state motion to dismiss the lawsuit.<o:p></o:p><br />
The international BDS movement aims to isolate Israel through economic,
cultural and academic boycotts and sanctions modeled on the 1980s boycotts
against South Africa's apartheid government. Opponents consider the
movement anti-Semitic because it singles out the world's only Jewish state
for treatment not imposed on other states with much worse human rights
records, and because it is <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/international/402887-when-a-nazi-comparison-makes-sense-the-bds-movement-against-israel" target="_blank">reminiscent</a> of the Nazis' economic warfare against
Jewish-owned companies. Opponents also <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/263409/bds-umbrella-group-linked-to-palestinian-terrorist-organizations" target="_blank">note the link</a> between the BDS National Committee, which
coordinates the movement internationally, and Palestinian terror groups <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/bds-sa.png" target="_blank">such</a> as the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP).<o:p></o:p><br />
Last month, the U.S. House voted 298-17 on a resolution <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/246/text" target="_blank">condemning BDS</a> for "encouraging the Palestinians
to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure" and citing
BDS leader Omar Barghouti's statement that, "We oppose a Jewish state
in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a
sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine."<o:p></o:p><br />
BDS "does not recognize, and many of its supporters explicitly
deny, the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination,"
the resolution said.<o:p></o:p><br />
Ali, who wants to boycott Israeli companies that make hummus or wine,
for example, says the executive order <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1063.pdf#page=10" target="_blank">constitutes discrimination</a> based on ideology and <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1065.pdf#page=31" target="_blank">compels him</a> commit that he won't boycott Israel. State
contracts <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1063.pdf#page=6" target="_blank">include</a> a boilerplate "No Boycott of Israel"
clause.<o:p></o:p><br />
"And you know Trump is doing this too, and they're trying to say
that if you have criticism of Israel it's un-American ... He's saying
they're bad Americans because they criticize Israel," Ali <a href="https://youtu.be/qj2DFmJG-2w?t=324" target="_blank">said</a> in a
news conference CAIR held last week. "It's crazy and Hogan is doing
the same thing. This is a bizarre, frankly weird, obsession with
Palestinians that's pervasive throughout right-wing politics in America,
and it's something that's got to stop. And it's got to stop right here in Maryland."<o:p></o:p><br />
The order says nothing about barring criticism of Israel, however, and
it does not prevent people from protesting against Israel in their private
time.<o:p></o:p><br />
Ali, a software consultant who <a href="https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/06hse/former/html/msa14612.html" target="_blank">served</a> in Maryland's House of Delegates from 2007-11, <a href="https://youtu.be/qj2DFmJG-2w?t=295" target="_blank">added</a> that he
also boycotts Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and North Carolina because he doesn't
like their civil rights records. State rules still allow him to boycott
those states.<o:p></o:p><br />
Boycotts are "as American as apple pie," CAIR Executive
Director Nihad Awad <a href="https://youtu.be/qj2DFmJG-2w?t=53" target="_blank">said</a> during the news conference, saying anything that
infringes on that right violates the First Amendment.<o:p></o:p><br />
Thursday's hearing was on a state motion to dismiss Ali's challenge. Ali
never applied for a state contract, the state argues, so he lacks standing
to bring the suit. It also contends that his participation in the BDS
movement happens on his personal time and has nothing to do with the
services he might render to the state.<o:p></o:p><br />
The state cast the ban in court as being narrowly focused against those
who discriminate against Israelis.<o:p></o:p><br />
"[The ban] is limited to decisions not to deal with people or
companies [because] that they are Israeli or reside in Israel because of
their national origin," Adam Snyder, an attorney in the state Attorney
General's office, told the court, <i>the Washington Times</i> <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/1/larry-hogan-anti-bds-executive-order-defended-in-f/" target="_blank">reported</a>.<o:p></o:p><br />
Blake <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/1/larry-hogan-anti-bds-executive-order-defended-in-f/" target="_blank">expressed skepticism</a>, saying Snyder's explanation of
the executive order was not clear, based on a plain reading of the text.<o:p></o:p><br />
Ali <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Saqib_Ali" target="_blank">supports</a> BDS causes and <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1063.pdf#page=8" target="_blank">organized</a> a statewide "Freedom2Boycott in
Maryland" in 2014, a statewide grassroots campaign to defeat anti-BDS
campaigns. Court documents <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1063.pdf#page=8" target="_blank">noted</a> that Ali's campaign helped defeat other anti-BDS
legislative proposals in Maryland.<o:p></o:p><br />
He <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1065.pdf#page=12" target="_blank">could leave</a> the "No Boycott of Israel"
section of a contract bid blank, Ali's lawyers wrote, but a section of the
executive order would require government agencies to reject his bid.<o:p></o:p><br />
"The Executive Order also requires all agencies to require holders
to certify they do not and will not boycott Israel," the lawyers <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1065.pdf#page=9" target="_blank">wrote</a>.<o:p></o:p><br />
That's not so, the state said. The executive order only <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1064.pdf#page=25" target="_blank">targets</a> commercial business-to-business activities, not
the sort of anti-Israel activities that Ali engages in on his own time.<o:p></o:p><br />
"... [The] certification does not require that bidders certify that
they do not participate in a boycott of Israel in the way that Mr. Ali
alleges that he participates in the BDS movement," Frosh <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1066.pdf#page=11" target="_blank">wrote</a> in an April filing, noting the order has nothing
to do with Ali's refusal to purchase Sabra or SodaStream products.
"Instead, the certification requires bidders to certify that they have
not discriminated against Israelis and Israeli companies in the formation
of their bids."<o:p></o:p><br />
As a computer programmer, Ali would not likely have to interact with
Israeli companies or people and therefore would not be compelled to lie.<o:p></o:p><br />
Because Ali never submitted a bid, Frosh <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/1064.pdf#page=15" target="_blank">argued</a> that he lacks standing to challenge the order
and his suit should be dismissed.<o:p></o:p><br />
A federal judge <a href="https://www.aclutx.org/sites/default/files/4-25-19_bds_order.pdf#page=56" target="_blank">struck down</a> a similar Texas anti-BDS law in April,
saying it violates the Bill of Rights, which exists "to protect
unpopular individuals from retaliation—and their ideas from suppression—at
the hands of an intolerant society."<o:p></o:p><br />
Other anti-BDS acts also have been <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/1/larry-hogan-anti-bds-executive-order-defended-in-f/" target="_blank">struck down</a> in Arizona and Kansas, while another in
Arkansas was upheld.<o:p></o:p><br />
CAIR also is <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/7991/cair-joins-anti-semitic-palestinian-advocacy" target="_blank">fighting</a> a proposed anti-BDS bill in New Jersey.<o:p></o:p><br />
Many CAIR officials have made stridently anti-Israel comments that cross
far from criticism of the country's policies into anti-Semitism. Several
have <a href="http://archive.is/JDzQp" target="_blank">equated</a> Israeli
soldiers with <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/7467/cair-ayloush-races-past-hate-goes-straight-to" target="_blank">ISIS terrorists</a>, while a prominent chapter director <a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/7735/thank-you-zahra-billoo" target="_blank">said</a> Israel has no right to exist.<o:p></o:p><br />
CAIR attorney Gadeir Abbas <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/1/larry-hogan-anti-bds-executive-order-defended-in-f/" target="_blank">told</a> the judge no settlement with the state is possible
apart from Gov. Hogan rescinding the executive order.<o:p></o:p><br />

Hamdan
will live in Enderby, which is “less than 90 minutes from the
Revelstoke Dam, one of the targets he had named. Randal Hyland said the
dam was ‘specifically identified as a potential target for a terrorist
attack’ in Hamdan’s Facebook posts, and was only a ‘relatively short
drivable distance from Enderby.'”<br />
<br />
What could possibly go wrong? Only greasy Islamophobes would be concerned about this, right?<br />

“Online ISIS supporter deemed a danger to Canada ordered released from custody,” by Stewart Bell, <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/5719840/online-isis-released/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Global News</a>, August 2, 2019 (thanks to <a href="https://thereligionofpeace.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Religion of Peace</a>):<br />
<blockquote>
A Jordanian man who has been declared a danger to
Canada’s security for spreading ISIS propaganda on the internet is being
released from custody to live in rural B.C. while the government tries
to deport him.<br />
Immigration and Refugee Board Member Geoff Rempel ordered the release
of Othman Hamdan on Friday afternoon, rejecting the Canada Border
Service Agency’s concerns that he is a risk to national security.<br />
While Rempel acknowledged the release involved “a level of danger to
the public,” he said it was less than in other cases and Hamdan had no
history of committing violence in Canada….<br />
His lawyer argued the conditions would eliminate any risks, but a
CBSA official opposed freeing Hamdan and noted Enderby was less than 90
minutes from the Revelstoke Dam, one of the targets he had named.<br />
Randal Hyland said the dam was “specifically identified as a
potential target for a terrorist attack” in Hamdan’s Facebook posts, and
was only a “relatively short drivable distance from Enderby.”<br />
The proposal to release Hamdan to a “remote location” far from a CBSA
office that could monitor him was “woefully inadequate” and did not
include any plan for deradicalization, Hyland argued.<br />
The case — unfolding as the government has vowed to crack down on
online extremist content — involves the fate of an Abu Dhabi-born
Jordanian citizen who came to Canada in 2002 and was granted refugee
status.<br />
Following the October 2014 terror attacks in Quebec and Ontario, the
RCMP identified Facebook messages by Hamdan that a Mountie said had
demonstrated “clear support” for ISIS.<br />
“Mr. Hamdan identified infrastructure in Canada which could be
targets for attack. He encouraged lone wolves in the West who could not
travel abroad to carry out attacks at home,” the IRB ruled.<br />
“He shared a detailed how-to manual for lone wolves to follow in
serving the terrorist agenda of the Islamic State. Additionally, many
posts appear to be recruitment initiatives.”<br />
Although a B.C. judge found him not guilty of terrorism charges in
2017, Hamdan is not a Canadian citizen and has been detained since
September 2017 by immigration authorities who want to deport him back to
Jordan.<br />
The IRB ordered his deportation in October 2018, ruling he is a
danger to the security of Canada, and a Federal Court judge later called
him “an unmitigated liar.”<br />
The bondsperson Hamdan will live with is a former co-worker who was
his roommate when he made some of the online posts that led to his
arrest….</blockquote>

with a landmark 2015 nuclear deal, the Iranian foreign minister,

the pact altogether unless the remaining signatories find ways to shield
its economy from US sanctions. Washington pulled out of the deal last
year.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The accusations, which led to the the temporary arrest of the vessels

regime in Tehran by cutting off oil sales, a major source of revenue.
They also underscore how traders and shippers suspected of violating
sanctions can run afoul of their own lenders, not just governments.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Bahrain accused on Sunday Iran and Qatar of plotting to
target its national unity and of promoting sedition and chaos.
Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al-Khalifa said
the Qatari and Iranian interference in the internal affairs of
Bahrain aren't new, but come in different forms. He explained that
Iran relies on fanning the flames of sectarianism to interfere in
Bahrain's internal affairs blatantly, while Qatar seeks to undermine
social cohesion and damage family bonds, which represents an affront
to authentic Arab and Islamic values and customs.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Yemeni Houthi forces launched drone attacks on Saudi
Arabia's King Khalid airbase and Abha and Najran airports, the
Houthis' military spokesman said on Monday. A spokesman for the Saudi-led

Houthi drones had been intercepted and downed heading in the

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Observers said there was strong coordination between the
Iran-backed Houthis and the jihadist groups of al-Qaeda and the
Islamic State in carrying out simultaneous attacks in Aden in which
at least 49 people were killed. The attacks August 1 also highlighted
Iran's role in enabling the massacre by providing the Houthis with
advanced weapons, observers said. The militants attacked a military
camp in southern Abyan province with rocket-propelled grenades and
automatic rifles around midnight, setting off clashes that lasted
until early morning of August 2. The troops targeted were members of
a force trained by the United Arab Emirates, part of the Saudi-led
coalition fighting the Houthi rebels since 2015.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial Narrow",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="field-body">
<a href="https://tribune.com.pk/story/2019605/1-blame-shouldnt-placed-whole-faith-ilhan-omar/" target="_blank">In a recent interview</a> that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) chose to give to Al Jazeera (a network that has many times, like Omar herself, <a href="https://www.meforum.org/57696/the-three-faces-of-al-jazeera">disseminated anti-Semitic propaganda</a>),
the ever-controversial Congresswoman sounded a theme that is frequently
repeated in the establishment media: that Muslims must not be blamed
for the actions of jihad terrorists. This claim is predicated on the
assumption, almost universally accepted today, that Islam and the
genuine understanding of jihad have nothing whatsoever to do with
terrorism, and thus cannot be held responsible for the actions of
terrorists.<br />
<br />
If this is true, however, the question is
inevitable: why do so many Muslims misunderstand the tenets of their
faith? Why is Islam so hard to grasp?<br />
<br />
Omar was defending
herself against charges that she had trivialized the 9/11 jihad attacks:
“Those are horrific attacks. There’s no question about it, that’s not a
debatable thing. Innocent Americans lost their lives that day, we all
mourn their deaths … And I think it’s quite disgusting that people even
question that and want to debate that.”<br />
<br />
However, there was
something more important to Omar than the deaths of innocent Americans:
the image of Islam. “What is important,” she explained, “is the larger
point that I was speaking to, which is about making sure that blame
isn’t placed on a whole faith, that we as Muslims are not collectively
blamed for the actions of terrorists,” Omar added.<br />
<br />
Of course.
Everyone takes that for granted. We are constantly told that Islam and
Muslims had nothing to do with 9/11, despite the devoutness of the
perpetrators, their cries of “Allahu akbar,” and the rest. But Omar’s
framing of this question as one of “making sure that blame isn’t placed
on a whole faith, that we as Muslims are not collectively blamed for the
actions of terrorists” actually sidesteps the real issue: what is in
the texts and teachings of Islam that incites believers to violence, and
what can be done about it? When has Ilhan Omar ever spoken about that?<br />
<br />
<div class="entity entity-bean bean-advertisment clearfix">

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1682616592/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520858729"><em>The History of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS</em></a>
makes it clear that jihad violence runs like a scarlet thread through
the history of Islam, from its very beginnings to today, without any
let-up, reconsideration, or reformation. During the era of the first
four successors of Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim community, known in
Islamic tradition as the age of the “Rightly-Guided Caliphs,” Muslim
armies swept out of Arabia and swiftly conquered the Middle East, North
Africa, and much of Persia. By one hundred years after the purported
death of Muhammad in 632, the Islamic empire stretched from Spain to
India.<br />
<br />
These conquests were animated by Islam’s doctrines
mandating warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers, the same
doctrines that groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS)
invoke today to justify their actions and make recruits among peaceful
Muslims. Should the “blame” be placed on “a whole faith” for those
conquests, and many more in the fourteen hundred years of jihad
activity, that were carried out in the name of Islam and in accord with
Islamic texts and teachings? If Islamic teachings motivated those
conquests, it motivates the jihad terrorists who are inspired by the
same teachings now.<br />
<br />
If it doesn’t, then apparently Muhammad
himself, who led numerous jihad attacks against the pagan Arabs and Jews
of Arabia, misunderstood Islam, as did the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and
virtually every Muslim leader since then. For Islamic history, while
containing an unbroken record of jihad violence, also reveals a glaring
absence: never in the 1,400 years of Islam has there been a large-scale
movement of Muslims <em>against</em> that jihad violence, preaching the
necessity of peaceful coexistence as equals with infidels in a society
not ruled by Islamic law.<br />
<br />
Certainly no one should be held
responsible for something with which he or she had nothing to do with.
No one should blame innocent Muslims for the actions of terrorists. But
Ilhan Omar’s words to Al Jazeera only obfuscate the fact that jihad
terrorists are indeed galvanized by the teachings of Islam mandating
everlasting war against the infidel. Unless those teachings are
acknowledged and confronted, jihad terrorism is going to continue
indefinitely. Is that what Ilhan Omar wants?<br />

outright rejection of Washington's request [to support
Washington's proposal for a maritime protection force in the
Arabian Gulf to protect shipping from attacks by Iran] is
likely to inflame tensions further between Washington and
Berlin. U.S. President Donald J. Trump is already at odds with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on a range of issues, from
Germany's obstinate refusal to meet its Nato funding
commitments to its pursuit of closer energy ties with Russia
through the construction of the controversial Nord Stream 2
gas pipeline.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: black; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 11.25pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 120%;">Mr
Trump is highly critical of the project. He argues that it
will make Europe, and especially Germany, too dependent on
Moscow for its energy needs, which could undermine the resolve
of the Nato alliance to take a robust stand against Moscow in
any future confrontation.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: black; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 11.25pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 120%;">So,
at a time when the Western alliance is already struggling with
how to respond to Turkey's deepening military ties with
Russia, Germany's refusal to fulfil its obligations to protect
shipping in the Gulf will be interpreted by adversaries of the
West such as Moscow and Tehran as yet further evidence of what
would doubtless please them very much: deepening divisions
within the Western alliance.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

seems to have deduced two things. First, he saw a glass
largely full and still filling but for some still empty, and
concluded he must first shatter the glass. After that, he
apparently failed to consider that the dystopian streets of
San Francisco -- homeless people living in tents and
defecating on sidewalks near high-rent high-rises, and the
middle class and affordable housing squeezed by heavy taxes
and constrictive zoning -- might be a result of local
"progressive" politics. The problem is that if his
"change-the-entire-economy-thing" would ever be
imposed, America as a whole might resemble those dystopian
streets. If Soviet Russia, Cuba or Venezuela come to mind,
consider India before 2014, when its prime minister, Narendra
Modi, was elected.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

(Tea Party 247) – Pro-Islam secularists in the West have no idea how ignorant they are to the global threat of jihad.<br />
<br />
It
hides in plain sight, hidden only by a Western media complex with their
heads in the sand, and Western leaders who are more interested in the
sickening niceness of political correctness than they are with their
values or the safety of the people they govern.<br />
<br />
There are many
nations across the world that openly preach destruction of the West, and
interestingly enough, these nations all just so happen to be Islamic.<br />
<br />
<div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-content_inline td_uid_1_5d472c2a7c3c4_rand td_block_template_10 ">
</div>
Islam
is not a religion, it is a political ideology that is raging across the
globe in a powerful jihad movement that is stronger than
demon-possessed Muhammad ever could have been.<br />
<br />
By the way, in these same nations, you could face fines, imprisonment, or even torture for such a statement about their Prophet.<br />
<br />
There
is no doubt it plays right into the hands of the cultural jihadis that
so many Westerners turn a blind eye to the global threat of jihad,
believe me.<br />
<br />
It is rooted in one of the deepest-held tenants of the Islamic faith: antisemitism.<br />
<br />
So there is no nation they hate more than the nation of Israel.<br />
<br />
The
Prime Minister of Malaysia recently offered up a reason for the scourge
of global jihad, but it is far from what you’d think.<br />
<br />
He says that, it is not the terrorists who are to blame for all the terrorism in the world, but Israel.<br />
<br />
That’s right.<br />
<br />
The Jews did it.<br />
<br />
“World
terrorism ends when we stop Israel’s injustice against Palestinians,
says Dr M,” by Ida Nadirah Ibrahim, Malay Mail, July 27, 2019:<br />
<blockquote>
KUALA
LUMPUR, July 27 — The seizure of Palestanian [sic] land to form the
illegal State of Israel has been the main cause of terrorism in the
world, Tun Dr Mahahir [sic] Mohamad told Turkish news agency, Anadolu
Agency, in a report today.<br />
The prime minister said if the causes of terrorism is not dealt with, then it would be difficult to put a stop to it.<br />
“The
main thing that we think we should always stress is the causes of
terrorism. Today, there is already a consensus almost to blame terrorism
on Muslims.<br />
“But the fact you said, after the seizure of
Palestine, and the disregard of international law by Israel, this has
led to so-called acts of terrorism. But in order to get rid of
terrorism, we need to know the reason why they terrorise unless you
treat the causes of terrorism, you are not going to be able to stop
terrorism,” he was quoted in the report.<br />
Dr Mahathir suggested
that the State of Israel should allow the previous Palestinian people to
return back to reclaim their property, or at least agree on the
two-state solution and stop the Israelis from building settlements in
the Palestinian territory.<br />
“And if we know, beside this, the
causes for terrorism, and we treat them, we take action to stop this
injustice perpetrated on the Palestinians, I think there will be less
terrorism or no terrorism all over the world,” he said.<br />
Dr
Mahathir said though there has not been enough news coverage and

before the military parade begins, President Emmanuel Macron comes
down the avenue in an official car to greet the crowd. Thousands of
people gathered along the avenue shout "Macron resign", boo
and hurl insults.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yellow balloons into the sky and distribute leaflets saying "The
yellow vests are not dead." The police disperse them, quickly
and firmly. Moments later, hundreds of "Antifa" anarchists
arrive, throw security barriers on the roadway to erect barricades,
start fires and smash the storefronts of several shops. The police
