Due to a significant security threat on the Israeli rescue and relief mission in Turkey, and following a joint situational assessment with the heads of the IDF Home Front Command and Search and Rescue Units which took place on Saturday night, United Hatzalah CEO Eli Pollack and Vice President of Operations Dov Maisel instructed the head of United Hatzalah’s rescue mission Major (res.) Yossi Cohen to end the mission and return to Israel as soon as possible.

A mosque that has been visited by William, Harry and Meghan should have had its counter-extremism funding reviewed after it was linked to jihadists, according to the report into Prevent.
The report highlighted how Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre in West London was attended by terror suspects, including members of the ISIS execution gang dubbed the ‘Beatles’.
The centre, which has received at least £100,000 in Prevent funding, was visited frequently by the Duchess of Sussex in 2018. Several times she went to a community kitchen there as its staff were at the forefront of helping victims of the Grenfell fire. The Duchess also championed a cookbook that raised funds for the centre’s Hubb Community Kitchen.
The news out of Turkey and Syria is horrible. As of the time of writing, the death toll from the earthquakes there has reached more than 23,000 and no one thinks it has peaked.
The devastation is overwhelming. It is almost impossible to reconcile the piles of rubble with the apartment buildings, places of worship and historical treasures they once were, even with the graphic photos of before and after provided by those on the ground.
Why are western nations always expected to bail out Muslim states?
Quake Devastation Tied to Turkey’s Failure to Enforce Building Codes
ISTANBUL — Turkey has for years tempted fate by not enforcing modern construction codes while allowing — and in some cases, encouraging — a real estate boom in earthquake-prone areas, experts say.
The lax enforcement, which experts in geology and engineering have long warned about, is gaining renewed scrutiny in the aftermath of this week’s devastating earthquakes, which flattened thousands of buildings and killed more than 22,700 people across Turkey and Syria.
“This is a disaster caused by shoddy construction, not by an earthquake,” said a professor of emergency planning at University College London, David Alexander.
ISIS has called for attacks on Christians around the world in the wake of Koran book-burning stunts in Sweden.
The terrorist group launched a campaign calling for attacks against Christians, according to a report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center on February 6.
Videos and posts calling on Islamists to carry out attacks around the world, especially in Europe, were distributed on social media.
The federal government is appealing a Federal Court ruling that ordered the government to repatriate four Canadian men being detained in northeastern Syria in prisons for suspected ISIS members.
In its notice to the Federal Court of Appeal, the government asks that the court order be stayed pending the appeal.
The Canadian men — who have not been charged with crimes — are currently in prisons run by Kurdish forces in Northern Syria and are being detained for alleged ISIS ties. The Canadian government has listed ISIS as a terrorist group.
One of the 4 is idiot convert Jack Letts who is a Canadian by mere technicality.
She has been allowed to present herself as the real victim in her story.
UK journalists seem hell bent on rehabilitating former ISIS bride Shamima Begum. The BBC has recently produced both a prime-time documentary and a major podcast series on Begum’s story. Last weekend, to promote these two programmes, she also featured as a baseball-capped poster girl on The Times’ Saturday magazine.
It’s the same in Canada, they treat these Mohammedan psychopaths as the victims and expect us to welcome them back with open arms. I hope I’m around to watch their crocodile eat them.
Islamization is a gradual process, but not so gradual that you can’t see it happening.
As Islam continues to gain numbers and power in Western Europe, certain questions take on greater importance. If you’re female or Jewish or gay, for example, and the only local doctor without a full patient list is a Muslim (and given how some nationalized medical systems work, this kind of situation arises not infrequently), do you choose to assume that he doesn’t take his religion’s teachings seriously, or do you move?
A rise in Muslim numbers means a rise in Muslim influence on many fronts. In Norway, there are about 1500 Jews and about 175,000 Muslims. When Jewish parents complain about their kids being beaten by their Muslim classmates – a charge that, if acted upon, can lead to major unrest – how do you expect teachers, principals, cops, and politicians to respond?
Islamic “justice” — which usually finds Muslims in the right, and non-Muslims in the wrong — or rather, tribal justice, has, once again, prevailed in Egypt.
Not only have the Muslim men who stripped naked and publicly abused an elderly Christian grandmother been acquitted in a court of law; now she is the one facing serious legal charges to compensate her tormentors.
As the nearly seven-year-old case of Soad Thabet, now 76, comes to its disgraceful close, it is important to recall the facts.
At an exposition in the central city of Isfahan on Wednesday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled a purported ballistic missile with the words “Death to Israel” written in Hebrew down its side.
An anti-NATO rally in Stockholm that would have included the burning of a Quran has not been allowed to go ahead. It comes after a similar incident sparked threats from NATO member Turkey.
Swedish police on Wednesday refused to grant permission to a planned rally that would have included the burning of a Quran — a rare move by the Swedish authorities.
The effective ban follows a similar stunt in January which saw a far-right politician burning the Muslim holy book close to the Turkish embassy in Stockholm last month — the same place Thursday’s protest had been planned for.
But Sweden’s security service, Sapo, said that the January rally had increased the risk of attacks against Sweden, citing this in its reason for refusing to greenlight another such protest.
The Home Secretary has demanded ‘major reform’ of the government’s flagship anti-terror programme in the wake of a critical report that found it was ‘failing to understand’ Islamist extremism.
Suella Braverman told MPs that Prevent’s focus ‘must solely be on security, not political correctness’ and said the scheme needs to ‘better understand the threats we face and the ideology underpinning them’.
An Alabama jihadi bride who was stripped of her citizenship after joining ISIS in Syria now claims the terrorist group plans to attack the Syrian camp where she is detained – but says she ‘just wants to go home’.
Hoda Muthana, 28, says she fears that ISIS will attack Camp Roj – the detention camp in north east Syria where she has been detained.
Muthana joined the terrorist group when she was 20 but now says she was groomed online by members who wanted to attract young and vulnerable women.
Britain’s “politically correct” deradicalisation programme focused on Right-wing extremism while failing to tackle Islamist terror, the Home Secretary has said.
William Shawcross, the review’s author, said Prevent had failed to do enough to counter the dangers from “non-violent Islamist extremism” and had instead broadened the definition of Right-wing extremism to include even mainstream politicians.
He said terrorist attacks had “too often” been committed by Islamist extremists previously referred to the programme because Prevent officials had “failed to understand the danger” they posed and had not dealt “effectively with the lethal risks we actually face”.
Begum repeatedly claims she ‘did not know’ about ISIS atrocities before leaving London and believed it was an Islamic ‘utopia’.
She also insists she did not watch any violent propaganda videos, such as the beheadings of hostages.
‘I didn’t know about these atrocities because as a 15-year-old I didn’t watch the news,’ Begum says.
An evil little liar.
William Shawcross’s long-awaited review of Prevent – the Government’s counter-radicalisation programme – is one of the boldest official documents of recent times. As such, it constitutes a radical reappraisal of a key state policy which has gone seriously off-piste and is in urgent need of rebalancing.
Much of the critique of Prevent has historically come from Islamists – who contend that it singles out Muslims for particular obloquy. For a programme that cost the Home Office a little less than £50 million per annum in 2020-1, Prevent commands a lot of attention.
In his comprehensive ‘anatomy lesson’ published today, Shawcross lays bare in painstaking detail the ways in which Prevent has been faltering – but for a quite different set of reasons from those given by its loudest detractors.
