AMENPER: El
Baltimore de Al Sharpton-"No hay justicia, ni paz" y finalmente
explotó en un motín urbano sin justicia ni paz.
El Baltimore de Al Sharpton
Por DANIEL HENNINGER
Actualizado 29 de abril de 2015
"No hay justicia, ni paz." Ahora en Baltimore, no tienen
ambos.
Cuando Al Sharpton popularizó el canto,
"no hay justicia, ni paz," estaba inequívocamente claro que "no
hay paz" era una implícita amenaza y una incitación a disturbios civiles.
No la desobediencia civil, según lo
practicado por disturbios civiles por Martin Luther King Jr.
Disturbios civiles pueden venir en grados.
Tal vez sea una breve lucha entre los manifestantes y la policía. Podría ser
alguien tirando piedras a través de los escaparates de las tiendas. O puede ser
más que eso.
Cuando los grupos se reunieron en gran número
para comenzar las manifestaciones "no hay justicia, ni paz" y
escuchar a incitaciones contra "la policía", le escuchamos alcaldes,
políticos, presidentes de colegios y americanos decir que "entendieron la
ira". Todos asumieron que cualquier malestar que resultó sería, como tan a
menudo dicen, "se puede entender y contener". Significado: aceptable.
En Ferguson, no fue para seguir la decisión
del jurado de Missouri en noviembre ni siquiera para acusar a un policía por la
muerte de Michael Brown. Fue para crear motines en que las empresas fueron
saqueadas y demolidas. Como fue cuando estalló la violencia en Berkeley,
California.
Hoy la policía de Nueva York estaba parada a
un lado mientras que los manifestantes intimidaron a gran parte de la ciudad y merodeaban
a través de tiendas por departamento.
El profesor de Manhattan Institute Senior,
Fellow Jason Riley dijo sobre lo que incitó a la violencia y lo que viene
después. “Lo
que la nación entera miraba televisión el lunes durante nueve horas en Baltimore
no era "contener". Era anarquía, un motín urbano. Fueron disturbios
civiles en una escala en que se vio destrucción y saqueo de tiendas mientras
que edificios y calles del centro de la ciudad de Baltimore ardían en llamas.
Cada funcionario público ni remotamente en la
gama de estas demostraciones de "no hay justicia, ni paz" el año
pasado sobre controversias en Ferguson o Staten Island policial parecían
entender, en público aunque lo hicieran en privado, que uno podría llegar a
apoyar esto. Pero ni una sola persona en autoridad seriamente habló contra este
mensaje. Nadie le dijo a Al Sharpton o sus clones, debe parar esta demagogia
incitando y ampliando las emociones por los medios de comunicación social
en una ciudad como Nueva York, St. Louis o Baltimore dando un golpe a la nación con una gran revuelta
urbana. Ahora está aquí, y partes de Baltimore están destrozadas.
La única cosa positiva que nos enteramos
viendo el motín el lunes es que en estos barrios Baltimore es que hay algunos
otros líderes negros que conocen la diferencia entre progreso y destrucción.
Brandon Scott, un joven concejal negro, habló
con elocuencia enfatizando que había nacido en 1984, pero sabiendo que las
revueltas de 1968, sea cual fuera su justificación, había dejado Baltimore
físicamente y emocionalmente arruinada por años. Y ahora estaban al borde de
perder otra vez a lo que él y otros habían tratado de construir en sus
vecindarios. Fue desgarrador escuchar al pastor que vieron sus nuevas unidades
de vivienda asequible para los ancianos pobres incendiadas el lunes por la
noche.
En un mundo mejor, en un mundo razonable que
no existe hoy en día, la alcaldesa de Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
dimitiría y Brandon Scott caminaría iniciar el camino de regreso.
Al Sharpton nunca cambió su ritmo el lunes.
Con rocas pesadas rebotando contra los escudos antidisturbios de la policía
retirada, anunció una marcha en mayo desde Nueva York a Washington para dar a
conocer la violencia policial contra las minorías. Pero naturalmente “criticó”
a los saqueadores.
El presidente Obama llamó el motín de
Baltimore "contraproducente". Él dijo, en lo que aparentemente era
una queja, "No puedo federalizar cada fuerza policial en el país y les
obligan a recapacitar". El Presidente mencionó subvenciones federales para
las cámaras de cuerpo en los policías. Cámaras de cuerpo son una excelente
idea. De hecho, imágenes de los hombros de todos los policías de América deben
transmitidas en tiempo real en la Web alrededor del reloj para que todos puedan
ver y escuchar los detalles de policías interactuando con cada nivel de la
comunidad. Entonces vamos a hablar de quién y qué necesita cambiar.
El Sr. Obama dijo: "Hay un montón de mi
agenda que haría una diferencia ahora". Y entonces el Presidente dijo:
"Ahora, no estoy bajo ninguna ilusión que con este Congreso que vamos a
conseguir inversiones masivas en comunidades urbanas". Dejaremos Josh
Earnest negar lo que estaba diciendo el Presidente con esta observación poco
atractiva.
“En los últimos 40 años, incluso antes de que
el Sr. Obama tuviera esto pensado, congresos como éste han aprobado incontables
miles de millones de dólares federales para financiar todos los proyectos
concebibles para América urbana. Aun así, tiene razón. Algunas comunidades
siguen siendo tan pobres como eran en 1975, o en 1968”
En cuanto a su contribución, Sr. Obama dijo:
"estamos haciendo inversiones que pueden obtener el entrenamiento que
necesitan para encontrar puestos de trabajo." Pero uno tiene que
preguntar: ¿qué trabajos? O ¿A cuántos les interesa realmente trabajar?
El miércoles por la mañana la tasa de
crecimiento de PIB de primer trimestre del año vino in—0.2%. Casi nada. Para la
longitud de la Presidencia de Obama, con un crecimiento significativamente por
debajo de la norma, desempleo de los negros de 24 años y más jóvenes ha rondado
entre 30% y 50%. Ese es el verdadero polvorín, no a la policía.
En cuanto a Baltimore, cuando la comitiva
Sharpton llega a quemados barrios de Baltimore en su camino a una reunión en
Washington con el nuevo fiscal general. Lo que esto significa es que cuando Al
reverendo sale del barrio, Baltimore, estará el mismo lugar después de esta
semana después de los motines. No hay justicia. Menos paz.
WND EXCLUSIVE
HUNDREDS OF MUSLIM REFUGEES HEADED TO IDAHO
Boise mayor lays out
welcome mat: 'Diversity isn't a buzz word. It's our birthright'
Published: 11 hours ago
The multicultural transformation of Idaho will continue with a planned
infusion of hundreds of refugees from Muslim countries over the next one to
three years.
A local newspaper in
Twin Falls reported that city will receive 300 mostly Syrian
refugees over the next fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
But WND has learned the numbers will be much larger statewide and
include refugees from Syria, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo and
possibly Somalia.
Sources tell WND that community leaders learned of the plans for up to
2,000 refugees at a recent conference at Boise State University attended by church
groups, social services providers and other “stakeholders.”
“That’s the number they put out that they’re planning for, a total of
about 2,000 over the next one to three years, with 70 percent going to Boise
and 30 percent in the Twin Falls area,” said Shahram Hadian, a former Muslim
turned Christian pastor in eastern Washington who said he spoke with a
conference attendee.
WND reported two weeks ago that Spartanburg, South Carolina, has also
been selected for the seeding of a Syrian refugee community.
Unlike Boise, residents in Spartanburg have mustered an organized
opposition to the infusion of 65 Syrian refugees over the next year, saying the
town already has high crime and poverty and isn’t prepared to absorb hundreds
of poor Syrians.
Rep. Trey Gowdy,
R-S.C., wrote a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry demanding answers to 17
questions about the refugee program, such as what benefits will be expected to
be offered and what the cost will be. That was two weeks ago. WND contacted
Gowdy’s press secretary, Amanda Duvall, Thursday and was told he has still not
received a response from Kerry, whose State Department heads up the refugee
program nationwide.
Christina Jeffrey,
who ran against Gowdy in the Republican primary last year, has joined with a
group called Spartans for Biblical Immigration.
“Biblical immigration
is certainly not going and bribing them and getting them to change countries,”
Jeffrey said.
Jeffrey said Gov.
Nikki Haley has come out in favor of the resettlement plans, which hasn’t helped
Gowdy’s effort to see it scaled back. A promised resolution by the area’s
legislative delegation opposing the resettlement plans also fizzled after Haley
issued a letter of support.
“When the governor
came out in favor of the refugees, our (Republican) legislators said it would
all turn out OK and that they had faith in the vetting process,” Jeffrey said.
“But this refugee thing makes us all very nervous, especially if the governor’s
office is on board. It’s pretty well known around Spartanburg that there’s a
lot of unhappiness about it, and surprise, especially since she was so strong
on some other issues like Medicaid expansion. It could be she looks at this
with a little bit of identity politics, seeing that maybe immigrants will soon
have an advantage over native-born Americans. Look how many immigrants we have
running for president. I think she’s moving on. I don’t think South Carolina is
her intended destination.”
Residents of St.
Cloud, Minnesota, have also been organizing and seeking information on exactly
how many more Somali refugees they will be asked to absorb over the next few
years. Lutheran Social Services has been working with the federal government to
resettle hundreds of Somalis in the St. Cloud area.
The mayor of Athens,
Georgia, requested information on refugees being sent to her city late last
year and also complained that such information was difficult to obtain.
Chinks
in the armor, FBI says
The world’s displaced
persons are assigned to various countries by the United Nations high commissioner
on refugees. The countries are responsible for vetting the refugees, and
screening those from Syria has been a particularly difficult task due to the
ongoing civil war there between warring Islamic factions.
As WND previously reported, the FBI’s deputy
assistant director of counter-terrorism, Michael Steinbach, testified before a
House Homeland Security committee in February and said it was virtually impossible
to screen refugees from a “failed state” like Syria, where the U.S. does not
have boots on the ground and does not have access to reliable police or
intelligence records.
Unlike Minnesota,
which has seen dozens of radicalized Somali refugees leave to fight for
terrorist organizations al-Shabab and ISIS while dozens of others have been
convicted of providing material support to overseas terrorists, Idaho appears
to have done a somewhat better job of assimilating its Muslims. However, it has
had some bad apples.
In May 2013, a
31-year-old Muslim refugee from Uzbekistan, Fazliddin Kurbanov, was indicted on
terrorism charges for allegedly recruiting Muslims in Utah and teaching them to
build bombs that would target public transportation and military bases.
The Russian-speaking
Kurbanov is one of more than 650 Uzbeks who have been resettled in Idaho since
2003. He arrived in 2009.
Kurbanov, whose trial
has been delayed, told an informant before his arrest that a military base
would be his preferred target for a potential bomb attack, according to court
documents.
“For me the best … a
military base,” Kurbanov told an FBI source during a secretly recorded
conversation, reported KTVB 7 in Boise. “If I have every stuff … like bomb,
like this and this one. I want to kill a lot of military or every. I don’t
know, whatever.”
Kurbanov is accused
of funneling personnel, software and money to the Islamic Movement of
Uzbekistan. Members of the IMU fought alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan and
seek to overthrow the government of Uzbekistan and replace it with an Islamist
caliphate, according to the National Counter-terrorism Center.
Idaho a
magnet for refugees
While Idaho remains
largely a rural farm state, it is not new to the refugee business. The Agency
for New Americans, an arm of Episcopal Migration Ministries, operates from an
office in Boise doing the organizational work on the ground needed to resettle
refugees and get them “integrated” into the community. The International Rescue
Committee, whose top executive is former British Foreign Secretary David
Miliband, also resettles refugees in Idaho.
Miliband recently
wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post saying the U.S. needed to take in at
least 65,000 Syrian refugees to fulfill its “duty” as the world’s largest haven
for the displaced.
Muslim refugees began
arriving in Boise in large numbers around 1995. Since that time, 11,000
refugees have been integrated into the city, according to city officials. While
there have been reports of culture-clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims in
the school system and elsewhere, an April 27 blog post from Mayor David
Bieter said the city welcomes the refugees with open arms. “Diversity is
essential for Boise’s prosperity and livability,” according to the mayor’s
blog.
“Diversity isn’t a buzz word. It’s our birthright,” Bieter wrote in the
blog for Welcoming America, an organization that received $150,000 in seed
money from billionaire George Soros’ Open Society in 2010 and now works with
the White House Task Force on New Americans to integrate new immigrants and
refugees into cities across the U.S. Obama formed the task force Nov. 21 following
his unilateral granting of amnesty to more than 5 million illegal aliens.
Boise’s mayor, just like mayors in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Dayton and
Cleveland, Ohio, San Antonio, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston and numerous other
cities, work with an organization called the Partnership of a New American
Economy. This group includes a mix of progressive mayors, executives from some
of America’s largest corporations and Chamber of Commerce leaders all working
to influence Congress to allow more immigrants into the country, both skilled
and unskilled, claiming that more immigration leads to more economic prosperity
for Americans, a claim that has been labeled as outrageous by groups such as
the Center for Immigration Studies and the Economic Policy Institute.
Boise, a self-described “Welcoming Community,” has seen waves of Muslims
sent its way by the United Nations in recent years from Afghanistan, Somalia,
Turkey, Bosnia, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Congo, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bosnia.
The greater Boise area already has several mosques, the largest of which
is the Islamic Center of Boise, with plans unveiled recently for a large
mega-mosque on the outskirts of town in Kuna, Idaho.
Twin Falls schools currently have more than 100 refugee students and
more than 20 languages are spoken. That may sound daunting, but it’s nothing
compared to another city in America’s heartland — Wichita, Kansas.
Kansas
another hotbed of refugee resettlement
The Wichita school district, already one of the most diverse in the
state, is now trying to cope with a new influx of immigrants from Central
America and the Middle East. The new arrivals don’t speak English or Spanish,
requiring costly interpreters and tutors to be brought in to help the
immigrants learn.
The Wichita district has more than 350 students from other countries and
160 from other U.S. states who speak minimal English. Currently, 81 languages
are spoken in the district, the Wichita Eagle reported. It has 11 classrooms
spread throughout the district devoted to teaching recent immigrants and
refugees.
“Wichita is
definitely a diverse district, and it’s becoming more so,” Stephanie
Bird-Hutchison, a teaching specialist at the district’s Multilingual Education
Service Center, told Fox News Latino. “Every continent
except Antarctica is represented in Wichita schools.”
Because federal law requires schools to provide information to parents
in their preferred language, an Arabic speaker is on call to help teachers and
others communicate with families, Fox reported. And the district contracts with
Propio Language Services, an interpreting service that helps teachers and
parents who speak any language to converse by phone through an interpreter.
The number of students speaking Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian has
decreased while students speaking languages from Africa and the Middle East
have increased dramatically in recent years, Dalia Hale, director of
multilingual services for Wichita schools, told Fox. Many in the latter group
are refugees from camps in central Africa, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan.
“We’ve never had Swahili show up before this year in our data,”
Bird-Hutchison told Fox. “That has come on due to the refugee population that’s
just emerging in Wichita.”
Wichita school board members said they worry a new block-grant funding
plan for schools will prevent the district from getting more funding to provide
services for the refugees and other immigrants, according to the Fox News
Latino report.
“That’s a huge concern, because we will not be receiving additional
money for those students,” said Board President Sheril Logan.
Sharia-based
crime problems emerge
As Muslim populations increase in American cities, communities will be
forced to deal with issues common to Islamic culture, such as arranged
marriages forced upon teenage girls, female genital mutilations, forced
veilings and spousal abuse.
Just last week ,a case of a forced marriage exploded into domestic
violence in Phoenix, Arizona.
Daniel Akbari, a former top defense lawyer in Iran’s Shariah courts who
defected to American several years ago, said spousal abuse is expressly allowed
by the Quran.
“Chapter 4, verse 34, of the Quran expressly says if a woman does not
comply with her husband’s command he has the right to beat her up, and that is
what you see happening here and what has happened over 1,400 years,” Akbari
said. “What is going on here in Phoenix is totally Islamic, under Shariah.
Everyone in that Muslim community will agree with that except the girl here.”
And the hadiths are just as strict on this matter, Akbari said.
According to the
well-regarded historic Islamic scholar Ibn Majah, a woman must comply with a
demand for sex even while on the back of the camel. He cites Vol. 3 Book 9 No. 1852 (English reference),
which states:
“No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty
towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel
saddle, she should not refuse.”
The Phoenix case involved Mohamed Abdullahi, 30, a Muslim refugee from
Somalia brought here by the U.N. and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He
entered into a “Nikah,” which is an arranged Islamic marriage with the parents
of an 18-year-old Muslim woman.
Phoenix police arrested him April 22 on charges of kidnapping and sexual
assault. The Arizona Republic reported that his bride-to-be was brought to his
apartment that day by her parents, against her will.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, told Fox News that
such violence has “no basis in the Islamic faith.”
Apparently CAIR has not read Sura 4:34 in the Quran or the hadiths.
Akbari said it’s time U.S. media stopped falling for the “explain it
away” propaganda put out by CAIR.
According to the Arizona Republic, the woman’s parents arranged the
marriage with Abdullahi and their daughter in November without her knowledge,
according to court records. When the woman learned of the marriage, she fled
the state but returned 15 days later to finish high school, police said.
The woman’s parents drove her to Abdullahi’s apartment. Once she was
inside, Abdullahi reportedly punched her in the left eye, causing her to fall
to the ground, according to court records.
Abdullahi then allegedly grabbed his future bride around the throat and
began strangling her while she was on the ground.
At that point, Abdullahi dragged the woman into the bedroom and
proceeded to sexually assault her, police said.
Hadian, the pastor in eastern Washington who also ministers in Idaho,
believes the continued influx of Muslim immigrants, if not tempered soon, will
have disastrous results for America.
Most of the Christian charities that help resettle refugees, contracting
with the government or one of the nine major resettlement agencies, do not
share the gospel with Muslims or consider this a part of there work, he said.
“Most of those that even claim to be Christian are usually of the
interfaith variety and are not very big on evangelism,” Hadian said. “Their
whole thing is, be nice and do good works. When I was in Boise and presented
there, I had a gal who came up afterward and she made a comment about refugees
coming from Iraq and how they’re so open to Jesus and it’s fantastic. I said,
‘So you guys had an opportunity to share the gospel?’ She said no, they asked,
‘If we come into the church, what benefits do we get?’”
Hadian believes this is not the best way for churches to interact with
Muslims unless the aid being provided also comes with a clear gospel message.
“I said you guys are bringing these refugees in, you’re giving them free
housing, and so now even if they think they want to become a Christian, it’s
seen as a monetary gain,” he said. “My goodness, is this what we’re doing to
the gospel now – accept Jesus and we’ll give you free things?
“If they could be bold with the gospel, yes, but I don’t see any
evidence of that. They usually want to say let’s be friends with them, let’s
have a Ramadan meal with them, and this is why I say we should have a
moratorium on Muslim immigration.”

El capital amoral y
la política indecente
El viaje de Andrew Cuomo a Cuba fue netamente de
negocios, pero el gobernador ha tratado de fusionar lo político con lo
comercial, cuando en realidad todo el asunto es exclusivamente debusiness.

Las cuadrillas del comercio internacional, en estos días,
han ido marchando a La Habana en compañía de sus oficiales electos. Nadie
parece querer perder la oportunidad de desaprovechar la percibida “ganga” de
comprar/arrendar barato antes de que llegue en groso del Norte, el invasor
convertido por decreto (tentativamente) en inversor. A Cuba la geografía
siempre la ha marcado. Ahora, nuevamente, vemos cómo su colocación espléndida
la convierte, perceptualmente, en el próximo edén capitalista.
Andrew Cuomo, el gobernador de Nueva York, el
aptamente titulado estado del imperio (“Empire
State”), lideró como se sabe una comitiva de una parte de la alta
élite empresarial neoyorkina de negocios de la talla de MasterCard, la
aerolínea JetBlue, la farmacéutica Pfizer y los yogures Chobani. Lo trágico y
risible a la vez, de esta excursión comercial/política, es la racionalización
incongruente y engañosa que el primer jefe ejecutivo de Nueva York empleó. “El
aislamiento no ha trabajado”, nos relató Cuomo. “El acercamiento y las
relaciones completas”, continuó, “es la mejor forma de sostener un diálogo
sobre los temas que estamos de acuerdo y sobre los temas que no estamos de
acuerdo”. Esta discursiva no es original para nada. Es consistente con el disco
grabado y rayado de los que ven en el “descongelamiento” lo más grande desde el
invento del pan rebanado.
Lo tragicómico de la visita emblemática del
gobernador neoyorkino con sus cortesanos comerciales, es la persistencia de
querer engatusar al pueblo estadounidense e impactar la opinión pública para
promover cambios más integradores en la política del Estado norteamericano
hacia la dictadura cubana. El viaje de Cuomo a Cuba comunista fue netamente de
negocios. El mismo encierra una iniciativa que ha titulado “Nueva York Global”
y es parte de una estrategia comercial que buscar ampliar las operaciones
mercantiles de empresas con el domicilio corporativo en el Empire
State. El descaro (o una parte del descaro) yace en la apología
barata que éste hace al fusionar lo político con lo comercial, cuando el asunto
se trata exclusivamente de business.
El gobernador de Nueva York no es la excepción en
ejecutar este estilo de llevar a cabo el negocio de gobernar. Todo lo contario,
representa más bien la regla de una clase política que busca ensanches
económicos, ignorando lo inmoral de comerciar con un régimen criminal y mafioso
y pretendiendo a la vez, que sus conciudadanos (potenciales consumidores) no se
den cuenta del encubrimiento. La mejor forma de timar al pueblo estadounidense,
en este caso específico, es meter la política en el asunto y pretender convertir
su postura mercantil en una gesta estratégica con propósitos políticos y
“humanitarios”. “¿El aislamiento no ha trabajado?”. Podría adoptar esa postura
si su misión a Cuba comunista fuera la búsqueda de una mejoría en el respeto a
los derechos humanos, civiles, laborales, etc. Para eso, sin embargo, no
estaría llevando un batallón de mercaderes. Su incursión al establo de los
Castro, exclusivamente tiene que ver con intereses comerciales. La política se
ensucia al desnaturalizarse en una ejercitación apolítica.
Es cierto que Cuba apunta a ser un edén
capitalista. Los cubanos han demostrado su capacidad empresarial en todo el
orbe. Su colocación geográfica le beneficia extraordinariamente. Esto es
fundamental, sobre todo, cuando se toma en cuenta que la nación cubana
extraterritorial supera en producción a sus conciudadanos intramuros (medido
por el PIB). Cuba, sin embargo, sólo llegará a ese estado de adelanto y
prosperidad cuando sea libre y democrática y se haya reemplazado el bárbaro
sistema dictatorial actualmente en el poder.

The Scary Thing ISIS Just Did Is The Start
Of A Dangerous Situation For Israel
The group has captured the
border town of Qahtaniya.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Israeli media reported two mortar attacks from
Syria on the Golan Heights near Kibbutz Ein Zivan. Israeli defense officials
were quick to explain that the attack was, in fact, a spillover of the fighting
between rival Islamist groups in the border area with Israel.
Today, the Hebrew-language news site Walla reported that the mortar grenades were launched by Islamic State branch
Jaish-al-Jihad. The group has captured the border town of Qahtaniya in the
southern Quneitra province of the Syrian Golan Heights. Islamic State has
thereby taken up its closest position to Israel yet. Qahtaniya is just 1.5-1.8
miles away from the border with Israel.

RELATED STORIES
The town was, for a long time, controlled by the Free Syrian Army, and
later by the al-Qaeda offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra. Both groups maintained the
status quo with Israel and concentrated their war effort against the Syrian
Army.
The mortars were fired at Israel during clashes between Jabhat al-Nusra
and Islamic State. On Tuesday, al-Nusra tried to recapture the town, but to no
avail. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 38 jihadis were
killed in the fighting near Qahtaniya. The dead include a senior commander of
Jabhat al-Nusra.
Israeli commentators fear that now Qahtaniya has fallen to Islamic
State, it could turn into a base for attacks against the Jewish State. Islamic
State already has sleeper cells in Israel. The Israeli security serviceshave
arrested two Islamic State
cells so far this year.

TRENDING STORIES
The situation on the Golan Heights is tense after four Hezbollah
terrorists were killed by the IDF on Sunday. The four infiltrated Israel and
were planning to plant an explosive device near the road to Majdal Shams on the
Israeli Golan Heights. Two of the terrorists were residents of the Druze
village Majdal Shams. They crossed into Syria to help Assad’s army and
Hezbollah in the fight against Sunni opposition groups.
The news about Islamic State’s first attack against Israel from Syrian
soil coincided with reports that Assad’s army and Hezbollah have suffered setbacks and lost
territory to Islamist groups recently.
On Monday, a coalition of Islamist rebels seized the large Qarmeed army
base in Idlib in northwestern Syria after a suicide bomber from al-Nusra drove
a truck packed with explosives into the compound and blew himself up. The
capture of the base makes it easier for the coalition to move forward to the
city of Latakia, Assad’s ancestral home, and seize most of the Idlib province.
The base had a lot of weapons. The coalition of Islamist groups seized
at least seven tanks, large ammunition caches, and scores of rocket launchers.
The coalition now tries to capture the nearby Mastoumeh army base.
Elsewhere in Syria, in the area of the Qalamoun Mountains near the
Syria-Lebanon border, al-Nusraambushed a Hezbollah convoy on Wednesday, killing six members of Hezbollah.
Al-Jazeera reported that the six were killed when al-Nusra targeted their
supply vehicles. Israel carried out two air strikes against Syrian divisions in
the same area last week.
Hezbollah has thousands of fighters in Syria. It is estimated that since
the beginning of the war four years ago, one thousand Lebanese Hezbollah
members were killed in the civil war in Syria. The organization tries to hide
the rising death toll by burying the dead fighters in Syria instead of Lebanon.
Former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri has now called for the shifting of the Saudi-led operation “Decisive Storm”
from Yemen to Syria to remove Assad from power. Hariri also slammed Iran for
its meddling in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.
Hariri decried the Assad regime’s claim of being part of the so-called
“Resistance and Deterrence Axis,” an anti-Israel coalition that also includes
Iran and Hezbollah.
“This regime in Syria should be eliminated because it has killed the
Syrian people,” he said. “Although it has labeled itself as being part of
deterrence, it has not carried out any action against Israel, but rather
against its own people in Lebanon or in Syria.”
He made his remarks after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry in Washington.

Pide a los miembros de la Asamblea Estatal de California
que no aprueben esta barbarie

Hola Lazaro:
Supongo que te has
enterado de la polémica. El Senado de California ha propuesto reemplazar la imagen
de Fray Junípero Serra por la de la primera astronauta estadounidense, Rally
Ride, una conocida activista gay.
Pídele a los miembros
de la Asamblea Estatal de California que conserven la estatua del fundador y
evangelizador de su estado.
Si ya firmaste, Lazaro
R, por favor, publica esta campaña en tu muro de Facebook para que más gente se pueda sumar.
Fray Junípero Serra
fundó misiones sobre las que se construyeron las ciudades hispanas más
importantes de los Estados Unidos. Además, de las 100 estatuas del capitolio,
sólo hay dos hispanos. ¿Les molestan los hispanos, los frailes o
ambas cosas?
Lo más increíble,
Lazaro R, es que la propuesta se toma precisamente cuando el Papa Francisco
anuncia su intención de canonizarle el próximo mes de septiembre coincidiendo con su visita a los EEUU. Incluso el próximo
2 de mayo celebrará una misa en Roma por el fundador de California. ¿Les da
alergia tener a un santo en el Capitolio? Cada día entiendo menos...
Fray Junípero Serra
tuvo en California un papel decisivo en el establecimiento del estado. Fundó nueve de las 21
misiones sobre las cuales se edificaron ciudades muy importantes y trabajó sin
descanso a favor de la población nativa.
A través de este
mensaje le pido que defienda el lugar que
con justicia ocupa su estatua en el Salón Nacional de las
Estatuas del Capitolio en Washington DC.
Esto es lo que le
estamos diciendo a los miembros de la Asamblea Estatal de California. ¿Quieres
decíselo tú ahora?
Aún estamos a tiempo
de frenar esta barbarie. La historia es la siguiente. La 'inquisición'
anti-Serra partió del senador de California, Ricardo Lara, el primer político
latino de EEUU en reconocerse homosexual,
abiertamente contrario –e irrespetuoso- con la Iglesia.
Lo más increíble es
que haya sido aprobado por el Senado de California. Pero, como te digo, aún
estamos a tiempo de frenar el atropello. Todavía debe ser ratificado por el
gobernador y por la Asamblea Estatal de California.
Hazles llegar tu
mensaje. Pídeles que respeten la estatua de Fray Junípero Serra, fundador de
California, defensor de los nativos y clave para entender la historia de los
Estados Unidos.
Gracias, Lazaro R,
por defender el sentido común frente a la imposición ideológica. Cualquier
novedad, te voy contando.
Un abrazo,
Luis Losada Pescador
y todo el equipo de CitizenGO
PD. Lazaro R, lo que
está ocurriendo es indignante. Necesitamos que muchos miles les escriban para
frenar esta barbarie. ¿Podrías publicar la campaña en tu muro de Facebookpara que más gente se pueda sumar?
PD2. No me acuerdo si
te lo había contado ya, pero te lo cuento por si acaso: ya somos más 700.000 en
CitizenGO en español. Siendo más, podremos hacer más. ¡Enhorabuena!
PD3. Ya están
colgados los videos del encuentro
de libertad religiosa y cristianos perseguidos #WeAreN2015. Fue especialmente emotivo el momento de entrega de tu
firma. Las recibieron con un prolongado aplauso. Si participaste, Lazaro R,
gracias por haberlo hecho posible. Te dejo el momento: https://youtu.be/cSnC7X3oK4U?list=PLc4nkyhLfridevs8pG3NUrJNRSpgHJeYI .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
