Two German teenagers are accused of plotting a terror attack on a Christmas market in the western German city of Leverkusen, German prosecutors said on Thursday.
The suspects, a 15-year-old boy in North Rhine-Westphalia and a 16-year-old boy in the eastern state of Brandenburg, were arrested earlier on Wednesday.
Prosecutors alleged that two teenagers planned to leave Germany after the attack to join an offshoot of the so-called “Islamic State” group in Afghanistan.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center Wednesday, clashing with NYPD cops and chanting “river to the sea,” long seen as an antisemetic slogan, in an effort to derail the annual tree lighting in support of Gaza.
Waving Palestinian flags and signs calling for the “end to genocide,” the ralliers gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside hordes of tourists waiting in line to see the iconic ceremony.

TPS: Suspect sought in suspected hate-motivated Assault investigation, University Avenue and College Street area
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has condemned far-right Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson for saying mosques should be demolished, calling the statement “disrespectful.”
“In Sweden, we don’t tear down places of worship,” Kristersson said on Monday, Swedish outlet SVT reported.
Åkesson came under fire on Saturday for saying that Sweden should ban the establishment of new mosques, while suggesting it should also demolish existing ones in the country.
An Algerian immigrant stabs a bunch of kids outside a Catholic school in Dublin and the response is that only bigots jump to conclusions.
A landlord-tenant dispute in Chicago spins into violence and somehow, even though the landlord isn’t Jewish, this is blamed on Israel’s campaign against Hamas.
The murder of a 16-year-old boy could prove a “tipping point for French society” Emmanuel Macron’s government warned as civilians were told not to take the law into their own hands.
The stark words from spokesman Olivier Véran came as officials called for calm after armed “paramilitary” activists marched in a suburb where suspects arrested over the killing are thought to live.
The teenager, named only as Thomas, was killed on November 19 at a village dance party in Crépol, south of Lyon. He was stabbed during a brawl that is believed to have broken out when a group of youths, said to be from a nearby housing estate, tried to gatecrash the event. Nine people were wounded, four of them seriously.
PARIS (AP) — Six teenagers go on trial Monday in Paris for their alleged roles in the beheading of a teacher who showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class, a killing that led authorities to reaffirm France’s cherished rights of expression and secularism.
Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed on Oct. 16, 2020, near his school in a northwest Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who had become radicalized. The attacker was in turn shot dead by police.
Canada’s role in responding to Palestinian refugee crisis a potential ‘minefield’, says former ambassador
With Israel’s war on Hamas focusing international attention on the plight of Palestinians, some in Canada are pressing Ottawa to help. But experts say this country has long struggled to find the right approach to assisting Palestinian refugees.
The issue came to the fore earlier this month, after a leaked Israeli intelligence memo identified Canada as a potential mass resettlement destination for Palestinians. The prospect of a large-scale relocation at Israel’s direction drew condemnation from Palestinian groups, and Ottawa was quick to dismiss the proposal.
Why No Arab Government Wants Gaza, the West Bank, or Palestinians
With Israel well on its way to controlling all of Gaza, talk is turning to who will control it after the fighting stops. While Israel may retain control for the foreseeable future, Israel wants no part of Gaza. Its government left Gaza in 2005, taking with it every Jew residing in Gaza and even every Jew buried there. And Israel isn’t alone.
Egypt also wants no part of Gaza, which it ruled until Israel took it in the 1967 Six-Day War. For Egypt, ruling Gaza once was enough. Despite pressure from the United States to take Gaza back, even temporarily after Israel rids it of Hamas terrorists, Egypt has refused. Egypt has also refused to provide refuge to Palestinians fleeing the war in Gaza.
And Israel had better drop that damn idea.
Behold the Palestinians the Trudeau government would like to bring to Canada.
Never forget what happened on Oct 7th.
Thousands of Palestinian civilians lined the streets of Gaza to spit on the body of German-Israeli woman Shani Louk.
Civilians hit her body with wooden planks, punched and slapped her naked body as they cheered with joy.

The Tories have presided over a seismic demographic change
Boris Johnson has made his mark on British history. As a result of his brief tenure as prime minister, Britain is now undergoing its most significant period of demographic change since the Anglo-Saxon migration.
A newly released study shows, for the first time in French history, that the second most widely spoken language in the country is dialectal Arabic, with an estimated population of between three and four million speakers. The resulting population ratio in favour of people mainly of North African origin is fraught with consequences.
What. Where. Why.
You won’t find any of those ‘Ws’ in any story that the media is interested in covering up, rather than covering.
Take the stabbing of small children at a Catholic school in Dublin, allegedly, by an Algerian Muslim. You can read entire stories about what happened in Dublin with nary a mention of these key elements of the story.

This is not the Dublin of Guinness and glass palaces housing tech companies which it wishes to present to the world
The situation in Dublin Thursday — in which five people were injured in a knife attack in the heart of the city, resulting in a riot and violent clashes with the police — was to the untrained eye reminiscent of Belfast from days gone by.
Speculation about the nationality of the attacker fueled the scenes of violence which took place last night and that has led to condemnatory tutting. After all, Ireland’s national myth is tied into tales of immigration and welcoming. A riot over immigration in its capital city contradicts the stories Ireland tells the world about itself.
Sounds very much like Canada.

Dublin stabbing: how the chaos unfolded on Parnell Square
Shortly after 1.40pm on Thursday, journalists covering the Stardust inquests were filing lunchtime copy in the Pillar Room of the Rotunda hospital, where inquests have been under way since April. Deirdre Dames, a survivor of the 1981 fire rushed in, alerting us that someone was “after stabbing kids out there”.
RTÉ’s Conor Hunt and I, along with several others, followed her out to Parnell Square East where there were already four or five ambulances, several Dublin Fire Brigade appliances manned by paramedics and several Garda cars, as sirens blared as more arrived.
Reem is a symbol of today’s Europe. Embraced by Merkel as a poor refugee child, today her posts show a map without Israel.
The mayor of Saint Gilles, Belgium, one Jean Spinette (a serious Socialist), wants to change the name of Saint Nicolas to “Sidi Nicolas”. “Sidi”, in Arabic, means “my Lord”. Elsewhere “Saint Nicholas” or “Santa Claus” is linked to Christmas Day. But in Belgium the bearded “saint” has a day all to himself: December 6, when “the great friend of children” distributes gifts.
And given that the city of Brussels’ region has chosen a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood for its candidacy as “European capital of culture” in 2030, the future masters of Belgium could change the name of dozens of cities starting with Saint-Gilles, continuing with Saint-Josse, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Jette-Saint-Pierre and Saint-Job, finishing with the metro stations (Sainte-Catherine, Saint-Guidon).
Samuel Huntington’s insight into the clash of civilizations is brilliant and true, but a few details in his thesis might benefit from a bit of updating. Moreover, some of his critics, especially on the “Left”, might wish to rethink a few of their “conclusions”.
According to Huntington, since 1989 the clash between civilizations has been essentially cultural, rather than economic or political. The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the transition from a world dominated by ideological oppositions — between communism and capitalism, imperialism and its counter-movement — to an era of cultural divergence, with the international political scene simultaneously verging on the multipolar and multicultural.
