Expert Warns of Potential Riots, Chaos at Democrat Convention

Vietnam War-era protests are among the most well-known and well-documented movements in U.S. history, notoriously culminating in the violent clashes during the 1968 Democratic National Convention (DNC). As Election Day nears in the U.S., striking parallels are emerging – protests against U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, a deteriorating financial situation, and rising tensions on all fronts. It’s hard not to wonder if history is repeating itself.

Unless Kamala denounces Israel, and that is entirely possible, Chicago will be fiery but peaceful if yesterday’s antics are an indication.

Netanyahu risks White House ire with bid to see Trump

Binyamin Netanyahu has asked to see Donald Trump during his visit to the United States this week, risking a further increase in tension with the White House.

He is reported to be meeting with Kamala Harris, the vice-president, later in the day for a private meeting at the White House to discuss the war in Gaza, as well as plans to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas.

Israeli arms firm taking Canada to court after military contract disqualification

An Israeli defence contractor is taking the Canadian government to court after the company says it was taken out of the running for a multimillion-dollar military equipment contract without explanation.

Elbit Security Systems Ltd. says in an application filed in Federal Court last month that Public Services and Procurement Canada has refused to explain its “purported disqualification” from a contract for hand-held laser rangefinders for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Dutch spies hid engineer’s role in paralysing Iran nuclear project

Erik van Sabben released a Stuxnet computer worm that compromised Tehran’s weapons programme. Weeks later, he was dead

A Dutch engineer played the “crucial role” in a mission to sabotage Iran’s nuclear weapons programme with a sophisticated computer virus as part of a US and Israeli mission, without the knowledge of his country’s government.

Erik van Sabben released the “very advanced” computer worm known as Stuxnet into the Natanz underground nuclear plant’s computer systems at the end of 2008, bringing the Iranian nuclear programme to a grinding halt. He was killed in a road accident two weeks later.

Survey: Canadians view Israel as apartheid state, not a vibrant democracy

“Apartheid” is the most popular choice for how Canadians say that they view Israel, according to a new survey of Canadian public opinion conducted by EKOS Research Associates and sponsored by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME).

Similarly, the survey found that only a small minority of Canadians view Israel as a “vibrant democracy.”

This should make the crocodile promised to eat me last crowd happy.

Israel’s Netanyahu says he wants Eritrean migrants involved in violent clashes to be deported

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he wants Eritrean migrants involved in a violent clash in Tel Aviv to be deported immediately and has ordered a plan to remove all of the country’s African migrants.

The remarks came a day after bloody protests by rival groups of Eritreans in south Tel Aviv left dozens of people injured. Eritreans, supporters and opponents of Eritrea’s government, faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal and rocks, smashing shop windows and police cars. Israeli police in riot gear shot tear gas, stun grenades and live rounds while officers on horseback tried to control the protesters.

‘All hell was breaking loose’: Rival Eritrean groups clash in northeast Calgary Saturday night

A violent clash between two groups shut down traffic in a northeast Calgary neighbourhood Saturday evening.

The confrontation, between two Eritrean groups, closed Falconridge Boulevard in both directions between Castleridge Blvd. and McKnight Blvd. N.E.

“Around six o’clock, maybe 150 to 200 young guys gathered in this parking space and then they were holding long sticks in their hands and then they rushed towards the other side,” said Mian Wahid, who was in the area when the fight broke out.

Human Rights Watch’s Jihad Against Israel

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has once again exposed its unvarnished anti-Israel bias by alleging that Israel systematically targets Palestinian children. The outrageous — and false — allegation was included in a new report published by HRW on August 28 under the title: “West Bank: Spike in Israeli killings of Palestinian children.” The report claims that “the Israeli military and border police forces are killing Palestinian children with virtually no recourse for accountability.”

The Gathering Middle Eastern Storm: Enduring History Lessons — Part One

As Israel turns 75, it faces an acute existential crisis in the form of an Iran bent on joining the nuclear-weapon-state club. Compounding Israel’s peril is the fact that its primary ally, the United States, sports an administration openly hostile to the Jewish state. Team Biden is obsessed with the desire to make a new accord with Iran akin to that made by former President Barack Obama; it is equally obsessed with pressuring Israel to withdraw fully to its pre-1967 boundaries, which former Foreign Affairs Minister Abba Eban famously called “Auschwitz lines.” And with incredibly foolish perversity, it is intent on prioritizing its twin obsessions over the historic Trump-brokered Abraham Accords, which made for the first “warm” peace between Arab and Jew in the 14 centuries since Islam first appeared on the world scene.

The decline and fall of ‘Woke’

Wokeness, once a badge of pride, has become a symbol of shame .Israel is always a few steps behind the US but Israeli left-take note!

Walking into the children’s section of a public library, I spotted a copy of ‘Woke: A Young Poet’s Call to Justice’’. Published in 2020, it’s almost a cultural artifact because ‘woke’ has gone from a hip term for leftism to a battered conservative punching bag in the culture war.

‘Woke’, the term, peaked in 2020. In 2017, it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary and appeared as a category on Jeopardy. Next year, Essence magazine announced its list of ‘Woke 100 Women’. In 2020, Disney’s Hulu aired ‘Woke’:, a tedious series about a college activist.

Which Are the Real Racist States?

In some political circles in the West, there is a popular tendency to consider Israel a “racist ” or “apartheid” country.

“I want you to know,” Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who heads the Congressional Progressive Caucus, recently said during an appearance at the Netroots Nation Conference in Chicago, “that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us, that it does not even feel possible.”
