This Norwegian UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process told the truth. This is a rare quality among UN officials when it comes to getting to the heart of why there is no progress to peace with the Palestinians: they always point the finger of blame at Israel, and never at the perpetrators of hate and violence. Mr. Wennesland is a brave exception. His report identified what really happened on the Temple Mount during Ramadan and Passover and pointed to the real perpetrators.“On 15 April, during the early morning hours, a large number of Palestinians gathered at the...

MORA, N.M.—Firefighters in New Mexico failed on Friday to pin back the flames of the United States’ largest wildfire, which is burning perilously close to a string of mountain villages. The blaze is the most destructive of dozens in the U.S. Southwest that are more widespread and burning earlier than normal in the year. Thousands of people in the Mora valley, about 40 miles northeast of Santa Fe, prepared to evacuate as smoke billowed from a forest around the nearby farming community of Ledoux.

May 1st is International Workers’ Day, also known as Labor Day in some countries, is a celebration of laborers and working classes promoted by the international labor movement, socialists, and communists. It occurs every year on the first of May. The day was chosen to honor rioters who killed seven policemen during the Haymarket affair and was promoted by the international communist or socialist movements, which during the 20th century killed at least 94 million people.That’s right, during the 20th-century, communism, and socialism murdered at least 94 million people. The reason for using both communism and socialism is they are...

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden has failed to integrate the vast numbers of immigrants it has taken in over the past two decades, leading to parallel societies and gang violence, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Thursday, as she launched a series of initiatives to combat organised crime. Many Swedes were shocked earlier this month after violent riots left more than 100 police injured. The violence erupted after a Swedish-Danish politician burned the Quran at a rally and sought to hold more in several immigrant-dominated neighborhoods. Andersson blamed criminals and said both Islamism and right-wing extremism had been allowed to fester...

“What the hell is going on in Russia?” is the kind of headline you write when there’s so much weird stuff going on that it’s impossible to summarize it cleverly. Maybe you’ll find this catchier: There’s a lot of stuff getting blown up in Russia, and it might not just be the Ukrainians blowing it up. The weirdness got going in a normal way, with reports earlier this week of Ukraine’s “embrace of the British special forces model” to strike targets inside Russia that the regular Army (or even Ukraine’s inadequate Air Force) could never reach. The Washington Examiner’s Tom...

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania reported that a Cumberland County man has been indicted for allegedly threatening President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Mohamed Farah, 32, was indicted by a federal grand jury. The indictment alleges that Farah, who is a citizen of Somalia, in January threatened to assassinate Biden, as well as threatened to assassinate Trump if he runs for re-election. The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service, FBI and Lower Allen Township Police.

As food uncertainly lingers on the horizon thanks to US sanctions and government decimation of the economy during the past two years, there is another factor contributing to the problem. Since the beginning of the year, there have been several very large food processing facilities that have exploded or burned to the ground across the U.S.

My first experience of combat as a Marine was in Mogadishu, Somalia in the '90s and then subsequently I was in the first Marine division during the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. I have completed tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, been involved in the evacuation of civilians from Libya in 2011 and commanded a special operations task force against the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2016...I have a greater respect for the ethical behavior of the Islamic State than I do for the Russians. That is no exaggeration.

Rep. Ilhan Omar said that only “snowflakes” were offended by her post criticizing Christians publicly worshipping mid-flight aboard an airplane. Ilhan Omar Anti-Christian hate? You need to stop projecting your bigotry. Religious bigots like you always think others hold the same hate they have in their hearts. It’s Ramadan and I am gonna pray for y’all. May God cleanse your hearts. Lauren Boebert Shout out to IlhanMN. Her anti-Christian hate helped propel a song praising Jesus to 33 million views over Easter weekend. “Even the rocks will cry out.”

When a crime is committed by someone with progressive values, the media is “suddenly uninterested,” says Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Are you surprised at how quickly the Brooklyn subway shooting has disappeared from the headlines,” Ms Panahi said. “You’d think what looks like a clear case of domestic terrorism in New York would be worthy of far greater coverage. “You can be certain that if Frank James had posted any pro-Trump material online, his face would be plastered on front pages around the world.” Panahi goes through media coverage of a bunch of killings committed by leftists. She places...

Another Coptic Christian clergyman was murdered in cold blood in Egypt today [this article was originally published on Thursday, April 7]. Local Christian media reported that, while walking in a crowded street of Alexandria with a group of church youth and his own family, Fr. Arsenius Wadid was repeatedly stabbed in the neck by an unidentified but bearded man, killing him. Fr. Arsenius, 56, headed the Church of the Virgin Mary in Muharram Bay and later the Saint Paul Church of Alexandria. He was ordained in 1996. As this just happened, details are still sparse and sometimes contradictory. Some sources...

Bet you didn't hear about that. Kind of changes things, doesn't it? You heard endlessly about the "racist" Nicholas Sandmann. You heard endlessly about the "racist" Kyle Rittenhouse. CNN and MSNBC had them convicted and were ready to execute them on their own. Neither was found guilty of anything, but both were libeled and slandered. You know who Darrell Brooks is? Probably not. He was the guy who intentionally ran over white people in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing five. He was a racist who hated white people. Because he was a black racist, the story was disappeared from the left-wing media...

James sounds very much like other ideologically fixated, identity-obsessed killers who have emerged since the BLM-Antifa racial movement of 2020 and the hate speech it unleashed. Like Darrell Brooks Jr., who allegedly plowed his car into the Waukesha Christmas parade last November, and Noah Green, the Nation of Islam adherent who rammed Capitol Police last April in a quickly memory-holed attack, James espoused the rancid, racist ideology of black supremacy, once known officially as "black identity extremism," which we have been assured by the FBI and other legal experts doesn't exist.

Wednesday on CNN’s “At This Hour,” network national security analyst Juliette Kayyem argued against referring to the New York City subway station shooting as an act of terrorism. Frank James was taken into custody for the shooting that injured more than two dozen people and is expected to be facing a terrorism-related charge.

Nearly four years ago, the Knesset enacted the "Terrorist Salary Offset Law" to try and stop the PA's payments to security prisoners - despite the pressure - the payments did not stop - "The aid goes up in direct proportion to the number of Jews you killed," Alon Eviatar, an expert on the Palestinian arena, explained to N12. "The only element that determines how much everyone gets is your years in prison." Payments by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists who carried out terrorist attacks and are being held in Israeli prisons This is one of the main points of...

Multiple people were shot at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday morning, the city's fire department told CBS News. There's a heavy police presence at the station in the Sunset Park neighborhood, at 36th Street and Fourth Avenue, CBS New York reports. The NYPD is reporting a smoke condition at the station. An NYPD official tells CBS News a smoke bomb device was found. A photo from the scene showed people tending to bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the station. The D, N, and R subway trains are holding in stations in both directions in...

Multiple shootings, possible explosives. More to come.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday that Kiev’s new written proposals on how to resolve the ongoing armed conflict with Russia deviate from what it submitted to Moscow during the previous round of talks in Turkey. “Ukraine apparently wants to stall for time and continue the hostilities,” he said, adding that Washington may have a hand in this shift. The new proposal, sent by Ukraine on Wednesday, fails to mention that the security guarantees Kiev wants to obtain from leading world powers do not cover Crimea, the top Russian diplomat added, according to RT. “Instead of the explicit...
