Israel Pays Tribute To Fallen Soldiers And Terror Victims

[From article]
The siren sounded at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 11, calling Israelis to stand in silence and remember. This Remembrance Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism, Yom HaZikaron, is a time when Jewish citizens mourn for their loved ones across the land.
One poignant ceremony took place at the open plaza in front of the Jewish Agency. Executive Chairman Natan Sharansky lit a torch for the 23,447 soldiers and more than 2,500 Israeli citizens who have lost their lives to war and terror.
One of those who spoke at the solemn ceremony was 16 year old Leah Nahari, part of a Yemenite family living in Israel. Leah lost her father, Moshe, who was murdered in a 2008 anti-Semitic attack in Yemen. Leah was only nine years old at the time. She shared her heart about what it was like to lose her father at such a young age.
“My eight siblings and I were born and raised in the Jewish tradition in the city of Raydah in Yemen. My father was dedicated to his family and his community and taught us to treat others with kindness and to love the Torah. One bright day, he went out to shop for Shabbat and never returned. A stranger accosted my father and demanded that he convert to Islam and abandon his Jewish faith. My father refused.”
At that point the man pulled out a gun and shot Leah’s father several times. After her father was murdered, Leah’s family received threats from the gunman’s family. Hatred of Jews increased in Yemen.



“Our family as I knew it no longer existed. Our lives were shattered and full of fear.”
In 2009, Leah and three of her siblings fled to Israel with the assistance of the Jewish Agency. In 2012, Leah’s mother and other siblings immigrated to Israel to build a new life in the Jewish homeland. Leah is happy as her brother is getting married soon and the family has managed to adapt well to Israeli society, despite the loss of Moshe.
More than 200 Jews around the world have lost their lives to anti-Semitic attacks since Israel’s establishment in 1948. Laying a wreath in memory of the victims, Sharansky declared, “The war on our right to be a free people in our land has no borders. We have been attacked in France, in Copenhagen, and in Argentina.
[. . .]
Sharansky spoke about how the Jewish Agency continues to assist Jews who want to start a new life in Israel. The last remnant of 19 Jews from Raydah immigrated to Israel this year, along with 30,000 other Jews from around the world.
This Remembrance Day in Israel is a necessary “time out” for Israeli society, where respect for those who have given their lives is part of the memories that most families share. In a small country like this one, every person knows someone who died in either a war or a terrorist attack. Yet, Israelis are some of the happiest and most content citizens in the world.
As the sun sets over the land, Jewish citizens prepare to dance in the streets and enjoy fireworks in celebration of Israel’s 68th birthday. While it is not easy, Israeli Jews manage to go from sadness to joy, remembering the words in Psalm 30:11: “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”

Evidence of Corruption of Obama-Clinton Regarding Benghazi Massacre

[From article]
Years ago, Judicial Watch served Freedom of Information Act requests relating to Benghazi on the Defense Department and the State Department. The Obama administration stonewalled, as always, so Judicial Watch eventually had to sue to enforce its rights under FOIA. That lawsuit has been going on for more than two years, as the Obama administration continued to resist producing relevant documents. Finally, on September 9, 2014, a federal court in the District of Columbia ordered the State and Defense Departments to produce certain additional documents. Those documents have been trickling in to Judicial Watch, heavily redacted.
Despite the redactions, some of the documents are bombshells. This one was sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the White House’s National Security Council on September 12, 2012, the day after the Benghazi attack. It says, among other things:
The attack was planned ten or more days prior on approximately 01 September 2012. The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for U.S. killing of Aboyahiye ((ALALIBY)) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 atacks on the World Trade Center buildings.
[. . .]
This report also describes the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the Benghazi attack:
The attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was planned and executed by the Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman (BOAR).
[. . .]



It has long been rumored that Ambassador Chris Stevens was in Benghazi for reasons having to do with the flow of weapons out of that city:
Weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the Port of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The weapons shipped during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPG’s, and 125 mm and 155mm howitzers missiles.
During the immediate aftermath of, and following the uncertainty caused by, the downfall of the (Qaddafi) regime in October 2011 and up until early September of 2012, weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles located in Benghazi, Libya were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the ports of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The Syrian ports were chosen due to the small amount of cargo traffic transiting these two ports. The ships used to transport the weapons were medium-sized and able to hold 10 or less shipping containers of cargo.
This DIA report, dated August 2012, is intensely interesting. It describes the situation in Syria and warns against the rise of the Islamic State:
The deterioration of the situation has dire consequences on the Iraqi situation and are as follows:
This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI [al Qaeda Iraq] to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi, and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the jihad among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers one enemy, the dissenters. ISI could also declare an Islamic state through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory.
[. . .]



The belated release of these critically important documents, years after the fact, illustrates the success of the Obama administration’s stonewall strategy. Multiple investigations of the Benghazi attack have been carried out, and, while they have uncovered considerable evidence of malfeasance on the part of Hillary Clinton and others in the Obama administration, President Obama and his minions have succeeded in hiding much, perhaps most, of the most relevant evidence. In fact, it seems likely that key evidence has been destroyed, redacted or otherwise hidden, and never will come to light. This is, in my view, one of the more troubling aspects of the comprehensive corruption of the Obama administration.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BENGHAZI SLOWLY EMERGES

Judicial Watch Obtains Documents Exposing Obama-Clinton Benghazi Lies

[From article]
As Catherine Herridge and Martha McCallum point out, the memo tells a lot more of the story than we knew before. The consulate and its intelligence operation nearby was keeping an eye on weapons transfers to anti-Assad forces in Syria, one of the proposed reasons why the US would have kept a consulate open in that city for so long. This was taking place at the same time that a number of American politicians were demanding more open support for rebels in Syria, a move that had support from Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta at the time according to Panetta’s memoir, but which Obama himself was reluctant to embrace — publicly, at least. Mike Morell insisted last week that the US took no part in that weapons movement, but did we need a consulate just to conduct passive intel on arms trafficking?
Why keep up the pretense? Obama was in the middle of an election, and didn’t want to acknowledge that he’d been caught with his pants down. And he may well have wanted to avoid answering questions about secret arms programs to anti-Assad rebels, especially given how that turned out in Syria and Iraq.
Speaking of which, the part about the rise of ISIS is even more interesting. The DIA tried to warn Congress about the threat in January 2014, which is when Obama compared them to the “jayvees.” Sixteen months before that, the DIA had predicted exactly what would happen with the group formerly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq, right down to their declaration of a caliphate in the area that the US had fought so hard to wrest from their control in 2006-8. This memo makes it look as though both Obama and Clinton made a habit of getting caught with their pants down, and concocting cover stories when the failures became too obvious to ignore.

Collateral Damage From Obama-Clinton Benghazi Lies

[From article]
The 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Google, which owns YouTube, saying the previous decision by a three-member panel of the same court gave “short shrift” to the First Amendment and constituted prior restraint — a prohibition on free speech before it takes place.
“The mandatory injunction censored and suppressed a politically significant film — based upon a dubious and unprecedented theory of copyright,” Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote in an opinion joined by nine other judges. “In so doing, the panel deprived the public of the ability to view firsthand, and judge for themselves, a film at the center of an international uproar.”
[. . .]
The film sparked rioting by those who considered it blasphemous to the Prophet Muhammad. President Barack Obama and other world leaders asked Google to take it down.
The larger 9th Circuit panel said it was sympathetic to Garcia’s concerns, but copyright law is not intended to protect people from the type of harm Garcia claimed to have suffered, including death threats.

Gunman Shoots Canadian Soldier Dead, Is Killed, Near Parliament in Ottawa

Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, was shot and killed at the War Memorial today in Ottawa, Canada.

[From article]

A Canadian soldier was shot dead and a suspect killed in a brazen attack on the Canadian Parliament complex in Ottawa Wednesday morning that left the nation's capital on lockdown just two days after a terror attack in Quebec, officials said.
The shooter was identified by Canadian authorities as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, Fox News confirmed. He was believed to be Canadian-born. No further details were immediately available.
However the Toronto Globe and Mail said sources had told the paper he was recently designated a “high-risk traveler” by the Canadian government and his passport had been seized.

[. . .]

The shooting at the government complex came after witnesses said they saw at least one man jump out of a Toyota Corolla and run toward the memorial and open fire on the soldier, who later died at Civic Hospital.
The soldier later was identified as Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, according to his aunt, the Globe and Mail reported. Cirillo was a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a regiment of Reserve Forces based in Hamilton, according to the Globe, and was training to join the Canada Border Services Agency.

[. . .]

"Most of downtown Ottawa is in lockdown," said Ottawa police Constable Marc Soucy.

[. . .]

The drama unfolded just before 10 a.m., two days after two Canadian soldiers were run over -- and one of them killed -- in Quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies. And on Tuesday, Canada had raised its domestic terror level from low to medium due to "an increase in general chatter from radical Islamist organizations like ISIL, Al Qaeda, al-Shabab and others who pose a clear threat to Canadians," said Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a spokesman for the public safety minister.

Arab Israeli Doctor Dead in Syria Fighting With Terrorists

[From article]

He was a quiet whiz kid at the top of his class in Israel, who overcame tough odds in this minority Arab village to become a star medical student and hospital intern.
Could Othman Abu al-Qiyan have been radicalized by Israel's conflict with the Palestinians - or something else?
No one can quite explain what happened and why, but in his community in Israel's southern Negev desert, where many even serve in the Israeli army, his sudden transformation into a jihadi killed in Syria fighting for the Islamic State group is treated as a dark and dangerous mystery.
In three years of war in Syria, dozens of educated and seemingly progressive Muslims from Western countries have been lured to what they perceive to be a heroic jihadi battle against President Bashar Assad.

[. . .]

"They have no idea why he went there and how he did it. They invested a lot of money in him, they taught him and made a doctor out of him and they were waiting to reap the benefits. And this person showed no signs, he did not tell anybody, he went on a normal trip."

[. . .]

Several family members said all they knew is that he left for what he said was a vacation in Turkey with a cousin. They said Abu al-Qiyan later called them from Syria, telling them where he left his belongings and saying he would meet them next in paradise.

[. . .]

Yousef Abu Jaffer, the Western-educated treasurer of the Hura municipality, said there was "something there" that was attracting seemingly successful youngsters to trade in a life of promise for a suicidal quest in the name of religion.

Two Americans Killed In Middle East Fighting For Terrorists, Went To Same High School

[From article]
An interesting development in the story of Douglas McAruhur McCain, the American jihadi who was killed this week in Syria, is that he was classmates with another young American who was killed while fighting with an Al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia in 2009. Tory Kastigar was a friend and classmate of McCain at Robinsdale Cooper High School in the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
[. . .]
What led these men to their decisions is unknown but it hardly could have been helped by an education system, news media and entertainment industry that withholds judgment from anything save antipathy towards America. The politically correct culture also demeans hard work and competition. Living in that vacuum the attraction of the role of a jihadist to a loser is irresistible. It is a short term, yet intense, career in which one cannot possibly fail. All you really have to do to be considered a success is get killed. It is the ultimate participation trophy.

Israel Withdraws Troops From Gaza After Destroying Tunnels; Two Killed In Jerusalem

[From article]
The driver of a construction excavator, identified by police as an east Jerusalem Palestinian, was shot dead by an officer after he rammed his vehicle into a bus, overturning it. As he charged toward the bus, the assailant ran over a man in the street, killing him, while the bus driver and five pedestrians were hurt when the vehicle was flipped on its side, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said.
An hour later, a man was shot in the stomach near the city’s Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus by an assailant on a motorbike, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat told Israel Radio the man who was shot was a soldier. Roadblocks were set up in the area.

Pro Russian Ukrainian Separatists Shoot Down Two Fighter Jet Planes

[From article]
Pro-Russian rebels shot down two Ukrainian fighter jets on Wednesday, not far from where a Malaysian airliner was brought down last week in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 passengers on board.
Ukraine’s Security Council said Wednesday that preliminary information indicated the missiles that brought down the jets were fired from Russia. “Two of our jets were hit at an altitude of 5,200 metres. According to preliminary information, the missiles were launched from the territory of the Russian Federation,” the council said in a statement.
[. . .]
The separatist group Donetsk People’s Republic claimed in a statement on its website that one of the pilots was killed and another was being sought by rebel fighters.

CT US Senator Laments Deaths of Palestinians

Sen. Murphy is lives in his DC bubble. He is more concerned with image and propaganda than reality. Hamas terrorists exploit the Palestinians. They are only the latest in many abusive political groups to do so. Yassar Arafat began the pattern by taking billions of US taxpayer dollars and instead of creating a society for his people he stole the money and kept it for himself. Now Hamas began the latest war against Israel from Gaza. Like Arafat, Hamas is determined to destroy Israel. Sen. Murphy appears to be unable to focus on wrongdoing and looks at the defense of Israeli society as the problem. A dumbed down population elects dumbed down politicians.  

[From article]
Sen. Chris Murphy on Tuesday said the substantial number of Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza could endanger U.S. national security.
Appearing on MSNBC, the Connecticut Democrat cited a United Nations report that an estimated 75 percent of Palestinian casualties have been civilians, saying the statistic could be used as a recruiting tool for America’s enemies.
[. . .]
The senator also appeared to take a jab at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Murphy expressed pessimism in a long-term peace deal, saying that anything “more substantial” would not come under Israel and Palestine’s current leaders.

Hamas Claims It Has Missiles That Seek Out Jews

a Hamas official announced to Arab Israelis they should not be fearful of their attacks because the missiles were designed to kill Jews only.
[. . .]
the Washington Post reported the results of a U.S. National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Turns out that 96.6 percent of Americans say they are heterosexual; 1.1 percent declined to answer which means less than three percent of the U.S. population are gay, lesbian, or homosexual.
[. . .]
In 2012 they pulled in $67,325,953.00 and $63,321,669 of taxpayer funds through DHS and HHS grants/contracts. That’s around 94% of their entire operational “charity revenue” from taxpayers.

Russian Separatists Shoot Down Plane Kill 49 in Ukraine

[From article]
Nine crew and 40 troops were aboard the Il-76 when it went down early Saturday as it approached the airport at Luhansk, the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office said. The Russian-built Il-76 is a four-engine jet used to transport heavy gear and people.
Luhansk is in eastern Ukraine near the border with Russia, an area where separatists have seized government buildings and declared independence after holding disputed referendums. Ukrainian forces still control the Luhansk airport, however.

More Killed In Chicago By Black Youth Than in All Mass Shootings Combined

[From article] 

According to the Sun News, mass shootings around the world--including the U.S.--are so rare that news agencies make a mistake by seizing on them.
Focusing specifically on the U.S., Sun News reported: "And in the U.S., they account for less than one percent of all gun-related deaths. Far more people have been killed in the bad neighborhoods of Chicago that were killed in all the mass shootings combined." 

And more die each year from medical negligence than in all shootings and war deaths too.
