Austria: 30,000 marathon runners were the target of a bloody Islamist attack in Vienna
June 14 2022

Investigators of the State Protection Service were able to prevent the catastrophe at the last minute: Islamist terrorists were planning an explosive attack on this year’s Vienna Marathon on April 24. 30,000 runners were at the start of the event.

Apparently, the radical Muslims of IS wanted to avenge the death of their leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi and had chosen major events in Europe as targets for attacks. The terror boss blew himself up in north-western Syria during an operation by an American special commando. The following calls for revenge were also picked up by the officers of the intelligence service DSN (formerly BVT). Together with other services, they managed to blow the cover of a sleeper cell.

Bishop rebukes Irish president for blaming Islamist massacre on climate change

June 14, 2022 at 8:57 am

Attributing violence against Nigeria’s Christians to climate change is “incorrect and far-fetched,” according to the bishop of a diocese where at least 40 people were murdered at a Pentecost Sunday Mass.

Bishop Jude Ayodeji Arogundade of Ondo was responding to a statement issued by Irish president Michael Higgins after the June 5 massacre at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, southwestern Nigeria.

Higgins condemned the attack on June 7, but appeared to link it to “the consequences of climate change”.

“While thanking the Honorable Mr Higgins for joining others to condemn the attack and offering his sympathy to the victims, his reasons for this gruesome massacre are incorrect and far-fetched,” Arogundade said.

Published: JUNE 14, 2022

Iranian hackers targeted the emails of senior Israeli and American officials and executives, including former foreign minister Tzipi Livni and a former US ambassador to Israel, according to the Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point.

Check Point was alerted to the hacking attempts by Livni after she received a number of suspicious emails from an email address belonging to a well known former major general in the IDF who served in a highly sensitive position. The emails were written in somewhat broken Hebrew.

The first email contained a link to a file which the attacker asked her to open and read. When she delayed doing so, the attacker urged her several times to open the file using her email password, prompting her suspicions.

Israelis Reportedly Whisked to Safety as Iranian Assassins Approach
June 14, 2022

In a scene that sounds like it was right out of a Hollywood movie, a group of Israeli tourists were whisked away from an Istanbul market this week as an Iranian hit squad hunted them.

According to Israel’s Channel 13, the Israelis received a text message from Israeli security officials warning them to remain in the market until an armored vehicle could be sent to pick them up.

The tourists were instructed to by no means return to their hotel, where an Iranian hit or kidnap squad was already waiting for them.

The Israelis left behind their luggage in the hotel and flew directly to Israel, where they underwent intense questioning as security officials tried to determine why they in particular were targeted, and what the aim of the Iranians might have been.

NEW DELHI
JUNE 14, 2022

The RSS-affiliated trade union, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), on Tuesday said it had taken up the “slave labour-like” treatment of Indian workers in Qatar with the government and trade union delegates of that country during the 110th International Labour Conference being held in Geneva. Significantly, Qatar was the first country to register its protest with the Indian government over objectionable statements made by now-sacked BJP spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal on Prophet Muhammed and Islam.

From 'We are Hamas' to 'Death to Israel' – Same Old CAIR
When Muslim advocacy translates to killing Jews.
Thu Jun 16, 2022
Joe Kaufman

According to Nihad Awad, co-founder and Executive Director of CAIR, the group was created with a goal to “combat anti-Muslim discrimination.” This, however, was merely a public face for CAIR meant to conceal its real mission: to assist in the annihilation of Israel. Nearly 30 years later, CAIR is still obsessed with ending the Jewish state. Last month, the group co-sponsored a rally in Fort Lauderdale that was billed as a way to honor deceased Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot and killed while covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But the event quickly devolved with calls for Israel’s destruction, displaying once again the true face of CAIR.

CAIR was launched, in June 1994, as a part of the Palestine Committee (in America) and under the guidance of then-global Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook. The main national leaders of CAIR came to the group via the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which was also a Palestine Committee member and which acted as a propaganda wing for Hamas. In 2007 and 2008, CAIR was named a party to the US federal trials against the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), another Palestine Committee member and a Hamas financier. CAIR used its websites to raise funds for HLF, and CAIR’s Texas chapter founder, Ghassan Elashi, was HLF Board Chairman.

Palestinians: The House Demolitions and Land-Grabs No One Talks About
by Khaled Abu Toameh
June 16, 2022 at 5:00 am

While the international community and media continue to condemn Israel day in and day out about a host of grievances, including the demolition of houses built without proper permits, no one seems to be interested in the ongoing human rights violations against Palestinians by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.

The United Nations and many foreign journalists are so obsessed with Israel that they have paid no attention to the latest crime committed by Hamas against residents of the Bedouin village of Umm al-Nasr in the northern Gaza Strip. The village was established nearly 80 years ago, long before Hamas was founded in 1988.

On June 9, hundreds of Hamas security officers raided the village to destroy several houses, as part of the terror group's attempt to evict the residents from the area. Hamas claims that the village was illegally built on "state-owned" land.

Israel convicts former World Vision Gaza chief of aiding Hamas
15/06/2022 - 16:12

Israel had accused Palestinian Mohammed al-Halabi, who headed Gaza operations for World Vision, of siphoning-off millions of dollars to Hamas, which rules the Palestinian enclave.

He was arrested in June 2016 and indicted in August that year.

Both Halabi and the charity have staunchly denied any irregularities.

But the Israeli court in Beersheba on Wednesday convicted Halabi of belonging to a terrorist group, Hamas, and of financing terrorist activities, of having "transmitted information to the enemy" as well as the possession of a weapon, according to a summary of the ruling viewed by AFP.
