A group of Jewish students in New York City locked themselves in the library of Cooper Union college to escape a braying pro-Palestine crowd
Chanting: 'Free, free, Palestine,' the mob banged on the door while the scared-looking Jewish students stood nervously inside the library
No one was injured, and the crowd has been dispersed: the Jewish students left safely and the library reopened after 20 minutes
BREAKING NOW: my sources tell me several Jewish students @cooperunion are currently locked in the school library as a pro Hamas rally outside of the cooper Union building learnt the Jews were afraid and sitting in the library, then brought the protest inside and are barricading…
A couple of key highlights from my interview with a major eyewitness/student at this incident: 1) Cooper U. dean said before the protest that he cou;d not stop it because it was not slated to enter school property (which it obviously did) 2) NYPD was called as soon as the… https://t.co/RX2JTJyvSm

LEGITIMATE QUESTION
Where is the FBI, US-DOJ and the Biden Regime regarding these escalating obvious RACIAL HATE CRIME attacks? What are they waiting for a massacre?
If this had been a reverse scenario and Jewish students were Chanting something like:
'Death to those that practice Genocide.'
We all know how the Media and LSD coup would have reacted.

swksvolFF - related your comment.
Was joking with a Coke Route delivery salesperson the other day.
Seeing he was huffing and puffing, stocking cokes on an end cap & shelves. I said "Keep in mind if you were stocking Bud-Lite you'd be done already. Going Broke, but done already." He lost it laughing.

NN2N1,
If anything were to happen to Jewish students, the Biden administration would blame it on Islamophobia.
They're perfectly happy with this, and I hope Americans of the Hebrew faith are figuring it out.
Possibly. Or just a thrill-seeking idiot. Let us await more evidence in either direction.
[Fox] Air Force police fired several shots Tuesday at a vehicle that sped through the main entry of a Texas base.
An unidentified driver sped in the direction of Air Force guards "at a high rate of speed in the wrong direction of traffic" at Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis on Tuesday, speeding through the access control point and gaining access to the installation for several minutes before speeding back through the gate exit, according to a report from Military.com.
"Security forces pursued the driver and took defensive measures when the suspected gate runner attempted to exit the installation via the inbound lane traveling at an excessive rate of speed," Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis spokesperson Angela Casarez said of the incident, according to Military Times.
The driver reportedly was unable to reach any of the training areas located on the more than 27,000-acre base, and did not sustain any injuries from the shots fired by Air Force guards.
The San Antonio Police Department later arrested the suspect about nine miles from the base after he was involved in a separate incident, according to the report.
Camp Bullis, which is used mainly for training Army, Air Force and Marine Corps combat troops, is part of Joint Base San Antonio, which also includes Fort Sam Houston, Randolph Air Force Base, and Lackland Air Force Base. Fort Sam Houston was forced to close another gate and place several buildings on lockdown around the same time as the incident at Camp Bullis after several gunshots were heard from a nearby wooded area outside the gate.
It is unclear if the two incidents were related, while the gates and buildings opened hours later, according to the report.
There were no reports of injuries to military personnel in the incidents.

This is not hard to defend/defeat...you only need the will and the right people. The physical barrier technology is available.
A dramatic scene played out at Camp Pendleton Friday evening when a driver attempted to crash through the main gate at the Marine base just north of San Diego, military officials said.
The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. when a driver attempted “to gain unauthorized access to the installation,” Camp Pendleton tweeted.
Guards deployed “final denial barriers” which stopped the car in its tracks. Video captured by a passing driver shows the vehicle then burst into flames.

He didn't "attempt to run gate". He blew the gate (more like an info booth) drove around on base for a while, and then blew back out the way he came in.

Merc,
FWIW, they used to be pretty good - years ago, some nut got loose on Fairchild AFB, and started shooting. The first LE on the scene was on a bike patrol and he promptly put one through said nut's skull.
I apologize for current business that has kept me from delivering the Afghan Daily Evacuation Brief to Rantburg recently. For those interested in catching up, the DEB archive is here. I’m afraid I shall continue to be distracted for a while longer.
AFGHAN REFUGEE PROTEST MARCH PLANNED IN 4 PAKISTAN CITIES SUNDAY – A coordinated call for Afghan refugees in Pakistan to join the ‘Aurat March’ in four major cities on Sunday (29 October) to protest the deportation edict. The group intends to host marches at 1530hrs local time in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, and Multan. Refugees are being told to gather outside of the Press Clubs in each respective location. A source in Islamabad said that security forces had been informed about the planned protests and said that no permits had been issued to the organizers and that they may be treated as illegal gatherings. At least four major international news organizations TAD contacted said they had already arranged for coverage of the events. Some international NGOs said they intended to allow their volunteers to march with the Afghans but could not officially support the protests as it would damage their operations within the country.
ISIS-K THREATENS ATTACKS IN CHINA – In a recently released video on ISIS-K’s website, the terror group threatened to “Flood (China’s) Streets with Blood”. While China has made it abundantly clear it has concerns about elements of the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) gathering strength and recruiting in Afghanistan, ISIS-K has remained off the radar for the most part. It was not clear what prompted the recent threat against China and some observers feel the terror group is warning China against further cooperation with the Taliban. A source in Kabul said that Taliban security personnel had reported multiple incidents of surveillance by ISIS-K during the installation of security camera systems around the country.
TALIBAN DEMAND SEAT AT THE UNITED NATIONS – The Islamic Emirate spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, implored the UN to hand over its seat to the Taliban on the UN’s International Day. Mujahid said that withholding the seat is an ‘injustice’ to the people of Afghanistan. It is not clear what will be done with the seat but few believe the Taliban will be allowed to take the seat with the current domestic policies in place and the fact that it is an imposed government and does not enjoy the full support of the citizens of Afghanistan.
IRAN POSITIONING TO FOLLOW PAKISTAN’S LEAD AND MAY BEGIN DEPORTING AFGHAN REFUGEES – On Wednesday, the Iranian Interior Minister, Ahmad Vahidi, slammed the Taliban for failing to stem the flood of refugees headed to Iran. During a respite from a cabinet meeting, Vahidi spoke to several reporters and said that all undocumented Afghans needed to be expelled from Iran. He then went on to caution against vilifying Afghans currently in Iran. The Afghan refugee situation in Iran is confusing as throughout 2023, the hardline press has steadily called for greater government intervention to stop the influx of refugees. Then, at the end of September 2022, a bizarre amnesty plan was discussed in the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the parliament to grant Iranian citizenship to all legal Afghan immigrants currently in the country. Once the amnesty plan was made public in the summer of 2023, there was an immediate uptick in xenophobic press articles about Afghans. On Sunday, parliament ordered the Interior Ministry to set up a National Immigration Organization to begin tracking data for both legal and undocumented Afghans in Iran. The steps Iran is currently taking are eerily familiar to those enacted by Pakistan in recent months.
ANOTHER 4.3 EARTHQUAKE REPORTED IN AFGHANISTAN – The latest quake’s location has yet to be ascertained but it occurred in the early morning hours on Thursday and struck at a depth of 150km. There have been no reports of damage or casualties as of publication.
CONFLICT TRACKER
Kandahar: An ALF strike team reportedly struck a Taliban security checkpoint in front of the provincial prison in Kandahar City (6th police district). ALF sources said they killed 1 Taliban and 2 others were injured in the fray.
PAKISTAN TIGHTENING SECURITY AND SCREENING PROCESS AT BORDER ENTRY POINTS – Pakistan’s Federal Investigative Agency has set up a system to verify visas at Torkham Gate. The kiosk is meant to check visas of Afghans who attempt to cross into Pakistan. A source in Rawalpindi said the oversight was needed due to the problem of border security personnel taking bribes to let people in. A similar system is planned for Spin Boldak Gate in the South. The measures are being implemented as the Joint Implementation Committee (JIC) met to make final plans for the upcoming deportation operation. In a meeting yesterday, it was announced that undocumented Afghans found in Punjab would be taken to Rawalpindi for processing and would be deported from there. In addition, it has been decided that Afghan nationals who were currently being held in prisons for criminal acts would be sorted according to ‘minor’ and ‘major’ crimes. Those awaiting trial for minor crimes would be deported while those accused of major crimes would await trial. There are concerns that the holding center in Rawalpindi has a maximum capacity of 20,000 people and that overcrowding will cause significant problems.
PAKISTAN DESIGNATES ‘DEPORTATION CENTERS’ TO HANDLE AFGHANS – Centers are expected to be established to process and hold deportees awaiting expulsion. Undocumented Afghans in Punjab and Sindh Provinces will be sent to centers in Rawalpindi and Karachi. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will host 2 centers (Nowshehra and Chamkani). Baluchistan will house 3 centers (Quetta, Pishin, and Qilla Abdullah). Sources in both Islamabad and Rawalpindi have expressed concerns that the designated ‘centers’ only exist on paper and very few preparations have been made at this point to contain the hundreds of thousands who are expected to be brought to the centers. The sources also say they expect to see severe problems with feeding the Afghans, drinking water, and medical treatment who will be interned in the centers.
TALIBAN/PAKISTANI OFFICIALS MEET AT BORDER TO DISCUSS DEPORTATION OPERATION – The information Minister for Balochistan’s caretaker government announced that a meeting took place yesterday between Taliban and Pakistani border officials to discuss the upcoming deportation operation. Among the topics discussed were provisions for those Afghans who had been in Pakistan seeking medical treatment and treatment of women/widows who did not have male chaperones. According to an eyewitness present at the meeting, the discussion was a one-sided affair, and Taliban objections to specific points of concern about the operation were simply ignored.

[AFRICANEWS] Niger's courts on Tuesday ordered the release of General Souleymane Salou, a former army chief of staff who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2018 for his involvement in a coup attempt in 2015, AFP learned from his entourage.
"There was a ruling (on appeal) on Tuesday and the judge ordered his release," a source close to General Salou told AFP, indicating that his release from prison "will not be long in coming".
A source close to the soldiers who overthrew the civilian president Mohammed Bazoum in July confirmed the decision to release General Salou, aged 70.
An air force officer, General Souleymane Salou was a member of the junta that overthrew President Mamadou Tandja in 2010 when he was appointed Chief of Staff until elections were held in 2011, which Mahamadou Issoufou won.
On 17 December 2015, President Issoufou, who was then seeking a second term in office, claimed that an attempted coup had been foiled, justifying the arrest of twelve soldiers, including General Salou, three customs officers and around ten civilians.
In January 2018, a military court sentenced General Salou, his son and eight soldiers to between five and 15 years in prison for their involvement in the coup attempt.
General Salou was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment, which he has since been serving in a prison in the interior of the country. The court found them "guilty of fomenting between November and December 2015 a plot to undermine the authority or security of the State", according to the verdict.
At the time of the arrests, the opposition had expressed scepticism about the reality of the coup attempt. Niger has been ruled since 26 July by the military, who overthrew the civilian president Mohammed Bazoum, who has since been held in his official residence.
At the beginning of September, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, the regime-appointed prime minister of Niger, gave assurances that measures would be taken to release "political prisoners" of the deposed regime.
In mid-September, former prime minister Hama Amadou, a fierce opponent of deposed president Mohammed Bazoum, returned to Niamey after more than two years in La Belle France.

[AFRICANEWS] News of the massacre spread during the morning after an attack overnight on the outskirts of Oicha town, in Beni territory, the epicentre of the years-long rampage by IS-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces ...established in the early 1990s through an agreement between portions of Uganda’s Salaf Tabliq Islamic sect and the National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (NALU), who said they had been sidelined by Museveni’s policies. At the time, the rebels staged deadly attacks in Ugandan villages and the capital, including a 1998 attack in which 80 students were massacred. A Ugandan military operation later forced the ADF into eastern Congo. The ADF has since established ties with the Islamic State group. The ADF has received funding from the Government of Sudan, which has also provided supplies and training. The ADF may also have received funding from the illegal mining and logging industries of the DRC.... (ADF) in North Kivu province.
In the morning, information spread of a new killing, with at least 26 dead, in the territory of Beni, in the north of the province, the epicentre of the abuses of the ADF ("Allied Democratic Forces " ).
Originally largely Moslem Ugandan rebels, the ADF have been active since the mid-1990s in this region of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... , where they have killed thousands of civilians.
In 2019, they pledged allegiance to the jihadist group Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... , which now claims some of their actions and presents them as its "Central African province".
Very recently, on Ugandan territory, they were accused of killing three people, including two foreign tourists, on October 17 in Queen Elizabeth Park. Action claimed the next day by IS.
Monday evening and until dawn on Tuesday, attackers presented by the authorities as ADF militia attacked a peripheral district of the city of Oicha, looting and killing, mainly with knives.
"We have just deposited 26 bodies in the morgue," declared Darius Syaira, civil society rapporteur for the Beni territory, in the morning. This toll of 26 killed was later confirmed by an army spokesperson.
Angry demonstrators set fire to humanitarian vehicles which were preparing to distribute food. "We don’t need humanitarian aid, we want security," declared one demonstrator.
"WORSE AND WORSE"
At the other end of the province, the fighting which had intensified since the beginning of October between the M23 rebels
...Tutsis sponsored by Rwanda, for some reason...
and pro-government gangs approached around twenty km north of Goma, a town of more than one million inhabitants bordered by Lake Kivu and backed by the Rwandan border.
"There has been fighting in Kibumba since this morning," a security source who requested anonymity told AFP.
"The rebels are confronting the +wazalendo+ (name given to the gangs known as "patriots"). The M23 has just fired two bombs at us and we are in the process of responding," added this source.
Officially, the army is respecting a ceasefire demanded by regional mediation, but witnesses say that soldiers and "patriots" are fighting together against the M23, a rebellion supported by Rwanda according to numerous sources.
In the afternoon, the military governor's spokesperson accused rebels "supported by the Rwandan army" of having attacked an army position.
"Faced with this provocation, all measures have been taken ," he said in a statement. According to another security source and a civilian witness, the army used a Sukhoi-25 fighter plane against the rebels.
"The situation is getting worse and worse. Both sides are exchanging heavy weapons fire ," said a resident. "We are forced to flee."
In a situation update, the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... humanitarian coordination (Ocha) in the DRC estimated on Monday at nearly 200,000 the number of people who have had to flee their homes since October 1 in the territories of Rutshuru and Masisi.
The fighting, which also affects the territory of Nyiragongo, closer to the bucolic provincial capital, has also caused several dozen deaths, both civilians and combatants, in recent weeks.
Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya spoke on Monday of an "umpteenth incursion" by the Rwandan army last week and "around fifty" civilians killed by the rebels.
An M23 spokesperson strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! this.
The M23 ("March 23 Movement") is a predominantly Tutsi rebellion which took up arms again at the end of 2021 and seized large swaths of territory in North Kivu.
An East African force is deployed in the province but, like that of the UN, finds itself heavily criticized by Kinshasa which accuses it of not forcing the rebels to lay down their arms.
The east of the DRC has been plagued for almost 30 years by violence from numerous gangs, local and foreign, many inherited from the wars which bloodied the region in the 1990s and 2000s.
[IsraelTimes] Los Angeles police have arrested a suspect who broke into a Jewish family’s home and allegedly threatened to kill those inside.
An individual inside who called 911 said that the suspect said threatened to kill them because they are Israeli. It’s not immediately clear whether they are in fact.
The LAPD tell the local Fox news affiliate that the family was visibly shaken up but that no one was physically injured.
Fox 11 reports that officials believe the suspect may have been influenced by drugs and was dressed in undergarments. He repeatedly shouted, "Free Paleostine" after being placed in a police car.
The suspect has not immediately been identified but the LAPD reassures the local Jewish community that this was an isolated incident, Fox 11 says.

I’m so angry and upset about all this kind of thing happening all over the “civilized” West that I can’t think straight. I apologize for being even less useful than usual.

Thing is, the cause ain't the cause. This commie could have easily entered the home yelling "trans rights are human rights!". The cause is irrelevant. What is relevant is their concrete belief they have the moral right to intervene in your daily activities - and they will do so with increasing regularity until enough are killed that they stop. Ditto Gaza and the rest of the Left.

[Shafaq News] Armed festivities erupted between Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi Army in Mount Qarachogh, a territory between Erbil and Nineveh, a security source revealed on Sunday.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that these festivities erupted due to a dispute over the control of security checkpoints previously evacuated by Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighters.
The festivities, in which "light weaponry" was deployed, resulted in injuries on both sides.
On October 19, 2023, the PKK announced that it withdrew its forces from the Makhmour refugee camp situated south of Erbil.
The Central Command of the People's Protection Units (YPG), the military wing of the PKK, issued a statement, confirming that they had ordered the withdrawal of all armed members from the Makhmour camp, relocating them to the Qandil Mountains and other areas within the Kurdistan region.
This withdrawal occurred after the threat from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) had subsided, as some of the PKK's fighters were transferred to the camp in 2014 with the goal of combating ISIS bully boys.
Two days after the withdrawal of the PKK, on Saturday, General Abdul Amir Rashid Yaarallah, the Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Army, arrived at the headquarters of the 14th Infantry Division in Makhmour.

I have seen the possibility suggested that the pending ground invasion is to hold attention while other interesting things are done behind the scenes. I am greedy, I suppose, in wanting both.

....Keep in mind - Hamas is under air and artillery attack around the clock. They are under siege and expending supplies and endurance. The Israelis, however, are dug in around them in good order, well fed/supplied and comparatively well rested. They have the advantage and initiative.
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility (remember that I am but A Wing Wiper Of Very Little Brain :) ) that the invasion isn't imminent, that the Israelis are doing just fine in turning Hamas and its hideouts into chunky salsa, and if Hamas wants to come out and fight that's fine. If they work themselves into frothing at the mouth first, so much the better.
[Rudaw] Israeli airstrikes targeted several military sites belonging to the Syrian regime on Wednesday, killing eight Syrian army soldiers, state media reported.
Syrian state media (SANA) cited a military source saying that around 1:45 am on Wednesday Israel launched several airstrikes on military sites in the Daraa countryside in southwestern Syria, from the direction of the Golan Heights.
The airstrikes killed eight soldiers and injured seven others as well as inflicting material damage, according to SANA.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said on X, formerly Twitter, that Israeli “fighter jets struck military infrastructure and mortar launchers belonging to the Syrian Army,” adding that the attacks were carried out in response to rockets launched towards Israel from Syria on Tuesday.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said the attack struck Abden military base, near the Golan Heights.
Israel captured Syria’s Golan Heights territory in 1967 during the Six-Day War and annexed it in 1981. The United Nations does not recognize the annexation of the area.
The occupied Golan Heights have often been used by Israel as a launching base for airstrikes against Syria. Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on regime-controlled areas of Syria throughout its 12-year civil war, often claiming to strike pro-Iran militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which supports the Syrian army.
The recent escalation of tensions between Tel Aviv and Damascus comes as Israel and the Palestinian Hamas militants fight an all-out war, with Syria’s defense ministry last week blasting Israel for “its continuing crimes against the Palestinian people and the massacres it commits against innocent civilians, including women and children,” and accusing it of supporting ‘terrorism’ in Syria.”
On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes targeted Syria’s main airports of Damascus and Aleppo, knocking them out of service. Similar airstrikes targeted only Aleppo airport on October 15 and both airports on October 17.
According to SOHR data, Israel has launched 40 attacks on Syria in 2023, destroying over 85 targets including buildings, weapons, ammunition warehouses, headquarters, centers, and vehicles. The attacks killed 72 combatants and injured 93 others.

[Jpost] At least 500 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists received specialized training from the IRGC's Quds Force up to a month before the deadly October 7 massacre, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The terrorists were trained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards' elite forces in Iran as recently as in September, the report noted, citing "people familiar with intelligence related to the assault."
Several high-profile Palestinian and Iranian leaders reportedly attended the training drills, including the Quds Force chief Esmail Qaani.

[Regnum] The Israeli army has disabled the international airport in Syrian Aleppo. This was reported by a correspondent of the Al Maydeen TV channel.
As a TV channel correspondent reports, Israeli aircraft fired two missiles at the eastern side of the runways of Aleppo International Airport. According to preliminary data, no one was injured as a result of the attack.
Prior to this, Aleppo airport was repeatedly attacked by the Israeli army. Thus, on October 22, the Israeli Air Force carried out seven airstrikes, as a result of which the runways were partially damaged and the operation of some facilities was disrupted.
As Regnum reported, Israel has repeatedly attacked the capital airport of the Syrian Republic. As a result of the latest such strikes at Damascus airport, one airport employee was killed and another employee was injured.
