Pro-Israel group NGO Monitor teams up with Europe’s far-right | The Electronic Intifada
Displaying enormous hypocrisy, NGO Monitor appears happy to ally itself with actual peddlers of bigotry. Next week, it will jointly host an event in the European Parliament chaired by a representative of the far-right Danish People’s Party.Anders Vistisen, the politician in question, would be a suitable candidate to run Donald Trump’s Nordic fan club – if such a thing exists. In some respects, Vistisen has acted as a vanguard for the politics of division that the US president espouses.Trump made his infamous call for a Muslim entry ban in December 2015. Vistisen urged similar measures in Denmark almost two years before then.More recently, Vistisen has advocated that a barbed-wire fence should be erected on Denmark’s border with Germany in order to keep refugees out. He also favors the Australian model of detaining refugees in large camps.

“As soon as the cops pulled up the leaders of the event grabbed the permits,” he said. “They [the police] forced us to stop playing and grabbed our drummer by the shirt and dragged him through the crowd.”“We had the proper permits,” The Cast Owner Chuck Gaurino told Bowerie Boogie. “Taped to all the amps like we always do. In the years past, the cops would roll up to check to see if we have our permits, we show them, they say ok keep it cool, and they go on their way. It was an insane act of excessive force to say the least.”

Evolution theory to be scrapped from Turkish schoolbooks | News | DW | 23.06.2017 – dumber youth to assure idiots rule the country!
A chapter entitled “Beginning of Life and Evolution” will be deleted from the standard biology textbooks used in high schools in Turkey, with the explanation that the “controversial” material was difficult to understand for average students, education authorities have said.”We are aware that if our students don’t have the background to comprehend the premises and hypotheses, or if they don’t have the knowledge and scientific framework, they will not be able to understand some controversial issues, so we have left out some of them,” Alparslan Durmus, head of the national education board, said.The material will remain available only to students who are on the path to go on to university, aged 18 or 19, he added. The changes are part of a new curriculum that will go into effect at the start of the 2017-2018 academic year, which was formulated in accordance with “Turkish values,” Durmus said.From embracing religious headscarves at some schools to shifting curricula, school education in Turkey has grown increasingly religious under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP). The issue of teaching evolution has been fought over for years.

فيروز …لمين
فيروز لمين
من الصعب الكتابة عندما يتعلق الامر بفيروز . فتاريخها يتم كتابته باستمرار ، وصوتها لا يزال يدلي بشهادته لذلك التاريخ العتيد .
فلا يهم ما يخرج من فاه الفيروز من كلمات ، ولو كانت بضعها، بسؤال لمين، الك او الي او مش لشي او لا اي شي . فالمهم ان فيروز هي التي تقول هذه الكلمات وبصوتها الفيروزي الذي لا يزال يغرد بنفس الانسياب وكأنه قطرات غيث لا تكف عن ري الارض العطشى لغيث يرويها لا يغرقها .
اذكر قبل ما يقارب على الثلاث عقود عندما عادت فيروز بعد غياب بكيفك انت ، والتي كانت كالثورة في عالم الطرب الذي لطالما سمعناه او تعودنا عليه من فيروز. وكأنها تركت درب موليها ومشت في درب ابنها واثقة انه المستقبل ، والمستقبل يحمل ما لم يعد هناك في زمن سابق والفن جزء منه. كانت اشبه بثورة فيروز نفسها على تاريخها .
وعلى الرغم من الانتقادات ، بقيت كيفك انت واستطاعت…

Teen is fatally shot by L.A. County deputies in pit bull attack on officers – LA Times – “Afraid… pull your gun out and shoot!” Dog, kid, your partner, yourself…
teenager fatally shot by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies in Palmdale early Thursday was accidentally killed as he tried to stop his aggressive dog from attacking the officers, according to an internal sheriff’s department memo.The 17-year-old was struck in the chest as he tried to jump on the dog, said the memo, a copy of which was reviewed by The Times. A deputy who had been bitten by the animal was also struck by a bullet fragment in the shooting.In a news conference at the scene hours after the shooting, Capt. Christopher Bergner of the Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau said it appeared that both the teen and the deputy had been struck by “skip” rounds that had ricocheted off the ground when deputies fired at the charging animal.“He may have been struck by one of the skip rounds in what we’re calling an extremely, extremely unfortunate incident,” Bergner said. “Our initial impression was [the deputies] didn’t even see the individual coming around from the side of the building.”
