RUTHFULLY YOURS

WANTED FOR GENOCIDE

[Notes by Tom Gross]

I attach five unrelated pieces below.

In the first, the New York Post reports that police were forced to release a Sudanese Arab UN diplomat, Hassan Salih, for groping a woman’s breasts at 2:25 am in a New York bar because he enjoys diplomatic immunity.

(Alcohol was outlawed in Sudan under Muslim Sharia law in 1983, and the penalty for drinking alcohol there is 40 lashes.)

In May Hassan Salih was elected (by fellow Arab nations and third world countries) as vice-chair of the UN committee that oversees the work of 4,500 human rights NGOs, including groups that defend the rights of women.

I have previously drawn attention to the election of Sudan as Vice-Chair of this UN committee overseeing human rights groups, on the grounds that the Sudanese regime is one of the worst persecutors of human rights activists in the world, and Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir is wanted for genocide at the International Criminal Court.

This is the second time this year a Sudanese diplomat at the UN has claimed diplomatic immunity. Mohammad Abdalla Ali was arrested in January for grinding his crotch on a 38-year-old woman aboard an uptown 4 subway train in the middle of the afternoon.

In the second article below, Haaretz reports that the 2017 Nobel Economics Laureate Richard Thaler (who is an American Jew) has strong collaborative research connections with Israelis in his field.

Tom Gross adds:

Over 40 percent of the Nobel Economics prizes have reportedly been awarded to Jews. (Oliver Hart, the British-born American Jewish professor at Harvard who won last year’s Nobel Prize for Economics, is a subscriber to this email list.)

Historically, the Nobel science prizes have also been dominated by Jews, and that is once again the case this year. Rainer Weiss who won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics was born in 1932 in Berlin and he and his parents escaped Nazi Germany to Czechoslovak and then were among the last Jews to escape to America before the Holocaust.

Both parents of Michael Morris Rosbash, the American geneticist and chronobiologist who won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Medicine, were also German Jews who fled Hitler.

Barry Barish who shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics with Weiss is a leading expert on gravitational waves. Hs parents’ families fled pogroms against Jews in Poland and Belarus.

Given the enormous contribution of Jews to mankind, the continuing hatred and disdain felt by so many people around the world towards Jews is one of the most bizarre phenomena of human history.

A number of recipients of the Nobel Prize for Literature have also been Jewish. These include in recent years: Nadine Gordimer of South Africa, Imre Kertész of Hungary, Elfriede Jelinek of Austria, Harold Pinter of Britain, Patrick Modiano of France, and Bob Dylan of the United States.

In the third article below, the Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli singer Noam Vazana was threatened on stage by anti-Israeli activists at a Moroccan jazz festival. Vazana’s shows at the festival were a premiere for her project Maktub, which features songs in Hebrew and Arabic and collaboration with Dutch-Moroccan singer Teema.

She is currently on a 90-concert tour in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

She accused the Qatar regime-controlled Arab-language Al Jazeera TV network of fabricating information about her ahead of her show, including an accusation that she was anti-Palestinian.

In the fifth article below, the UAE paper The National reports that travelers departing from Dubai will no longer need to pass through any sort of security clearance counter or e-gate. “They will simply walk through a virtual aquarium tunnel that will scan their face or iris using hidden cameras while they’re in motion.”

The first of these “virtual borders” will be installed by the end of the summer of 2018 at Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport. In phases up until 2020, the tunnels will be introduced at other Dubai terminals.

Currently, according to the airport authorities, 600 to 700 tons of gold and up to US$25 billion pass through Dubai airport each year. (While in nearby Yemen, millions of children are dying of starvation and malaria…)
