RUTHFULLY YOURS

Speak up? Speak up with your feet and suitcases…time to say auf wiedersehen to the graveyards of Europe and Deutschland unter Allahs …..rsk

JNS.org – In the summer of 2015, on the streets of Berlin, a gang of drunks approached an Israeli and German woman, who were speaking Hebrew, and taunted them with: “How dare you live in Germany!” They then proceeded to throw bottles at them.

Earlier this year, a Berlin family went on vacation and put their home in the care of a neighbor, only to find a swastika scrawled inside their kitchen when they returned. And last October, at a private kindergarten in Berlin, a five-year-old boy said to the class: “Hitler should have killed all the Jews.” The teacher, according to witnesses, agreed.

These are just a few of the incidents tracked by the Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism (RIAS), a watchdog group monitoring antisemitism in Berlin founded in Jan. 2015 under the umbrella of the Association for Democratic Culture in Berlin with funding from the Berlin Municipality. RIAS seeks to expose, monitor and prevent attacks against Jews, and has plans to expand nationwide.

In July 2015, RIAS opened an online hotline (in German, English and Russian) for victims of antisemitism. If the incident involves violence, serious threats or vandalism, RIAS assists victims in filing reports with the police when necessary.

“We have different areas that we monitor,” Benjamin Steinitz, a coordinator at RIAS told JNS.org. “The main focus is on incidents that people report to us. These can be physical attacks, verbal abuse and incidents of anti-Semitic graffiti, propaganda-like stickers, vandalism of property and desecration of memorial sites.”

Routinely tracking antisemitic attacks offers a mechanism for determining trends in antisemitism in Germany, including the source and nature of the hate — whether it targets Jews as a religious, ethnic or national group, and if it comes from Islamic, left-wing or right-wing circles. During 2015, RIAS monitored 26 antisemitic attacks. In the 19 instances in which the ethnic background of the perpetrators could be identified, 12 cases were said to be carried out by people with a Turkish or Arabic background.

Investigators found that at the time of the attack, Houthi rebels were occupying the hospital, making it a legitimate target.

“While the West urges the Saudi-led coalition to use all means possible to avoid civilian casualties, we must also be aware of the tactics the Iranian-backed rebels are using as part of a deliberate policy to discredit the coalition war effort.” — Senior Western official.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels are using hospitals as military command posts, thereby deliberately putting the lives of innocent civilians at risk, according to a new report into Yemen’s long-running civil war.

Hostilities in the Yemeni conflict resumed at the weekend following the collapse of peace talks in Kuwait. The talks came after Houthi fighters, who are backed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards, rejected a U.N.-sponsored peace plan and announced the establishment of a 10-member governing body to run the country.

Within hours of the peace talks ending, the Saudi-led military coalition, which is backed by both the U.S. and Britain, had resumed air strikes against Houthi rebel positions in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a. Initial reports said that at least 21 people, the majority of them civilians, had been killed, including a number of workers in a potato chip factory in Sana’a. In addition, the international airport at Sana’a was shut down by the airstrikes after Saudi coalition officials notified airlines that incoming flights would be barred for 72 hours.

If you want to stop the islamisation of the West, speak up if you can, he urges, but whatever you do, vote against the “arrogant political class” that is leading us into a “political dead end” that will result in disaster for our children and grandchildren.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. commander overseeing the coalition fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria said it has made progress but cautioned that the extremist group continues to pose a danger.

The U.S., Iraq and its allies have killed more than 25,000 enemy fighters and reclaimed swaths of territory from the militant group in Iraq and Syria, trained nearly 14,000 Iraqi forces and struck at Islamic State’s oil and gas assets, said Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland.

But, he added, Islamic State persists as a threat.

“Military success in Iraq and Syria will not necessarily mean the end of Daesh,” Gen. MacFarland told reporters at the Pentagon, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. “We can expect the enemy to adapt more into a true insurgent force and terrorist organization, capable of horrific attacks, like the one here on July 3 in Baghdad and those others that we’ve seen around the world.”

Gen. MacFarland is completing a year as commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, the name the military has given the fight against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. His departure amounts to an inflection point for the fight against Islamic State, as forces both in Iraq and Syria prepare for difficult campaigns against two Islamic State strongholds—Mosul in Iraq, and Raqqa in Syria.

“Within the culture in the Middle East, if you are the other, you will never be embraced,” stated Murad Ismael, executive director of the Yazidi advocacy organization YAZDA during a July 28 Georgetown University conference. Describing the plight of various minorities facing the genocidal onslaught of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), he and his fellow conference speakers indicated why only power decentralization could stabilize this long troubled region.

Naomi Kikoler from the Holocaust Memorial Museum discussed learning during her trips to Iraq of a “deep distrust both towards the Iraqi government and the Kurdish regional government by many of the minority communities.” “In the U.S. this idea persists that all Iraqis can live together” in a “melting pot,” stated Sherri Talabany, president of the SEED Foundation, a Kurdish aid organization. Yet bitter experience had taught various ethnic and religious groups that “you really are not safe unless your group is in charge.”

Father Behnam Benoka, an Iraqi Catholic Chaldean priest and humanitarian worker, particularly noted that “we don’t accept as Christians anymore to be under Arab or Muslim tutelage or custody.” Distrust of Iraq’s central government meant that Iraqi Christian communities now seek “to govern our cities by ourselves” and have “our house to be our own house” in some form of local autonomy under international protection. Echoing comments by Turkmen Rescue Foundation President Ali A. Zainalabdeen, Benoka noted that Iraqi government soldiers fleeing ISIS’ 2014 Iraqi conquests had “delivered all the religious minorities as a gift for ISIS.”

Left defenseless, Iraqi minorities often perceived their own Sunni Muslim neighbors in the area of ISIS’ advance as more of a threat than ISIS foreign fighters, Talabany stated. As these minorities would recount, “our neighbors came to the Christian family and said, ‘you have lived next to us for 100 years and so for that reason I am going to give you and your family ten minutes to go and I won’t kill you.’” She noted Yazidi ISIS sex slaves often knew their captors and dismissed trying to “re-integrate people with their torturers,” while segregation often helped pacify refugee camps. Benoka asked of treacherous neighbors “how could we continue living in peace with them.”

Syria Justice and Accountability Centre Executive Director Mohammed Al-Abdallah noted that the region’s Sunni Muslims themselves feared various groups fighting ISIS such as the Kurds, with whom they had a conflicted history. Precisely Shiite domination of Iraq’s central government had alienated the country’s Sunni minority in western Iraq, causing them to favor ISIS. Concerning Sunnis, ISIS’ Kurdish and Shiite opponents effectively “want to liberate you in spite of you, and you should be happy with our governance even if we do not represent you. And of course that will bring only another ISIS.”

Amidst the region’s bloodbath, Talabany cited Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) as a unique “safe haven” for minorities, including numerous refugees, as indicated by a multiplicity of diverse recognized religious holidays. Nonetheless, Kurds “need to get rid of Islamic religious teaching in the schools and replace that with tolerance and world religion.” Abdallah criticized as well Syrian Kurd use of female child soldiers in their fighting against ISIS and others, while Zainalabdeen noted recent fighting between Iraqi Kurds and Turkmen.
