Hamid Karzai said it, so it might be true. Or not. Either way, it garners him attention and provides an excuse for the two parties to quarrel.
[KhaamaPress] Former Afghan president Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...Former president of Aghanistan, part of the problem not part of the solution... said that the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s policy to bar Afghan girls from attending school was made on Pakistain’s orders rather than in accordance with Islamic law.
According to Hamid Karzai, a former Afghan president, Pakistain ordered the ban on girls’ schools. He stated that the Taliban cannot erase the people’s accomplishments over the previous 2 decades in an interview with the German magazine Spiegel.
Karzai stated that denying girls the opportunity to attend school will result in an impoverished Afghanistan, isolated, and incapable of standing on its own feet.
Former President Karzai added that "the goal of Pakistain is a defenseless, weak and poor Afghanistan that does not pose any problem to Pakistain."
Despite pressure from the international community as well as certain Islamic nations, the Taliban leadership has refused to reopen girls’ schools and has instead kept middle and high schools closed to female students.
However, you can observe a lot just by watching... Taliban officials have stated that efforts are being made to reopen the schools.
Taliban officials claim that there are continuous talks among the group’s leadership to reopen secondary and high schools for girls, however, they have never formally stated why they have banned them.
In addition, Karzai stated that some Taliban officials are in favor of reopening girls’ schools.
"Millions of boys and girls have received an education, Afghanistan’s society has evolved, and they have had access to media freedom," he said. "Even the Taliban cannot easily take this back from the Afghans."
Following the overthrow of the Taliban, Karzai served as president of Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014.

I agree that the Pakistani goal is a weak Afghanistan. I disagree with the idea that the Taliban can't erase 20 years of progress. The Taliban are kind of like the Amish, if the Amish were bloodthirsty, horny pedophiles. Other than that, they are exactly the same.

Karzai lives in Kabul, Lord Garth. If they harm him, the Taliban can forget any help from us.
[Khaama] "When it comes to atrocities, aggression, and attacks on 'innocent' and 'defenseless' Muslims, that's OUR game!"
The Taliban Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Israel’s "brutal" attacks on Gaza, calling on the international community to prevent Israel’s "atrocities & aggression".
According to the Taliban’s Foreign Ministry statement, the international community should prevent Israel’s attack on "innocent" and "defenseless" Muslims of the Gaza enclave of Palestine.
Abdul Qahar Balkhi, the spokesperson in a tweet, on Saturday, outlined the Taliban’s stance on the immediate halt to Israeli attacks.
Israel conducted a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in Palestine and Gaza City on Friday, August 5, and the Agence France Presse reported that the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine launched rockets at Israel today.
Israel’s strike on Friday resulted in the death of a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, sparking the conflict, according to international media.
There were no reports of any casualties despite the fact that Gaza militants continued to fire rounds of rockets into Israel every half hour.
According to reports from the Gaza Strip, at least 9 individuals were killed and 44 were wounded by Israeli airstrikes.
Israel has defended its attacks, stating that their mission is to combat the Islamic Jihad group, and asserted that yesterday’s attacks resulted in the deaths of 15 militants who belonged to that group.

[Garowe] The United States of America is disappointed with the nomination of former al-Shabaab ...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them... deputy leader Mukhtar Robow as a minister and is concerned about the negative impact that might have on the congressional support, credible sources told Garowe Online.
The US Patriot Act Leahy vetting policy prevents the United States from supporting any government with ties to terrorism and violation of human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... . The law will significantly see Somalia's new government get sidelined on critical funding and support from Washington.
The United States has been a major stakeholder in terms of sponsoring the fight against terrorism in the Horn of Africa nation by supporting the training and equipping of Danab Special forces who are critical in the al-Shabaab war besides helping the country tackle the humanitarian crisis.
"It will be impossible for the Somali government to receive financial and military support from the United States because that will violate US federal law," added the sources who do not want to be named in this article.
Somalia technically falls in this category given that al-Shabaab is dominant in the country and has been expanding territories both in Æthiopia and Kenya. Last week, the Lions of Islam stormed Æthiopia from Ato town causing a major security scare but the situation has since been contained.
Multiple sources have also confided to Garowe Online in confidence that the US government is very concerned about the makeup of the new Somali cabinet including ex-terrorist. Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre appointed 26 ministers last week.
Additionally, the US administration is not happy with the renomination of another in the cabinet, with sources arguing that Washington views him as incompetent and corrupt given his past records while serving in ex-governments.
The concerns come just over two months after Somalia's parliament elected Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president, thus effectively ending the reigns of Mohammed Abdullahi Mohammed better known as Farmajo, who had failed in local and foreign policy.
Should the new policy get affected, it's likely to dent the efforts of Hassan Sheikh to fight terrorism both ideologically and through military efforts. The new president also promised to ensure al-Shabaab's source of funding is tamed.
The US had dispatched hundreds of special soldiers to Somalia almost a year after their unprecedented exit and it's not clear if the latest policy will also affect their presence in the country. The US Africa Command has been essential in the fight against al-Shabaab.
Reports done by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... indicated once the US withdrew its troops from Somalia and with subsequent minimal funding, the al-Shabaab Lions of Islam gained ground, especially in rural central and southern Somalia.
The terror group has been a thorn in the flesh of the federal government of Somalia. Analysts argue that Hassan Sheikh may have pushed for the inclusion of Mukhtar Robow in the cabinet as minister for Endowment and Religious Affairs as an indication of fighting the group ideologically.
Robow served as al-Shabaab deputy leader before renouncing the group's ideology but his efforts to join politics in 2018 were blocked by Farmajo as he tried to run for the Southwest presidency. Before his nomination to the cabinet, he had been in house detention for the last three years.
[Garowe] The US Africa Command [Africom] has received a new commander, just as al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... hard boyz intensified attacks within Somalia and across the borders, particularly in Æthiopia, a country that had successfully tamed the Death Eaters.
Lt. Gen. Michael Langley was confirmed by the Senate as the successor of General Stephen Townsend, who has been in charge of the troops for the last three years. Lt. Gen. Michael Langley is the first Black four-star general in Marine Corps history.
Senators unanimously voted for the promotions earlier this week after the upper chamber’s Armed Services Committee praised the men for their "exceptional" qualifications at a confirmation hearing last month.
According to the Stripes, Langley will break a racial barrier that stood in the Marine Corps for 246 years. More than 70 white men rose to the Marine Corps’ top ranks during that time.
During his speech, Langley said during his confirmation hearing in late July that the global security environment was "the most challenging I’ve seen throughout my 37 years [of service]."
The son of an Air Force noncommissioned officer, Langley grew up on racially diverse bases. He said last year that he did not experience discrimination until his father retired in the early 1970s and moved the family to "cowboy country" in Texas.
"Yes, we had challenges at an early age, and I think that prepared me for leadership of all Marines, regardless of color, regardless of creed, religion, orientation," Langley said. "That experience at a young age prepared me to be a platoon commander years after that."
Langley was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1985. He has commanded at every level, from platoon to regiment, and served overseas in Afghanistan, Japan and Somalia.
He now leads Marine Forces Command and Marine Forces Northern Command and is the commander of Fleet Marine Force Atlantic in Norfolk, Va. Prior to that posting, Langley led U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and Africa from Germany. He stepped into the role after his predecessor was removed for allegedly using a racial slur for Black Americans in front of troops, The Stripes added.
Langley called the move a "positive step" in a written response to a set of questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"A stable and prosperous African continent is increasingly important to the United States — politically, economically, and militarily — and will become even more so in the future," he wrote.
A fortnight ago, al-Shabaab hard boyz crossed over to Æthiopia, forcing security forces in the country to open fire which left 100 of them dead. On Thursday, reports indicated that a number of Æthiopian army generals visited Somalia for a series of security talks.
The hard boyz are keen to infiltrate Æthiopia, a country that is a major security partner of Somalia. Currently, there are about 4,000 Æthiopian soldiers serving in the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission in Æthiopia who have been instrumental in the al-Shabaab war.
Fundamentally, the changes come just months after the US redeployed over 500 soldiers to Somalia, a year after they were withdrawn. Somalia has been battling against violent mostly peaceful extremism for the last couple of years and the US has pledged imminent support.
[IsraelTimes] Though just 1% of the population, Jewish people were victims of 14% of reported racial incidents, a jump of 47% over the year before and reflecting global trend
Canada’s 380,000 Jews were the most targeted religious minority for hate crimes reported to police in 2021, the country’s official numbers keeper reported Tuesday.
Statistics Canada said that the Jewish community, comprising about 1% of the population, were victims of 14% of reported hate crimes. Jews saw a 47% rise in reported hate crimes compared to 2020, according to the bureau.
"We are deeply concerned that incidents of hate crimes rose yet again in Canada in 2021," said Shimon Koffler Fogel, head of the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs. "This disturbing trend clearly proves the need for more proactive measures to stop the rising hate targeting diverse Canadians based on their identity."
Only Black Canadians, who make up about 3.5% of the country’s population, reported more hate crimes. Overall, 1.3 Canadian Jews in every 1,000 reported being victims of hate crime in 2021.
"Statistically, Canadian Jews were more than 10 times more likely than any other Canadian religious minority to report being the target of hate crime," Fogel said. "This is alarming."
Canada’s official tally showed the same trend as tallies of antisemitic incidents in other countries last year.
The Netherlands, La Belle France and the United Kingdom all reported increased incidents of antisemitism, while the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit in the United States, said it recorded more antisemitic incidents last year than at any time since it began tracking incidents in 1979.
Statistics Canada cautioned in its crime report that "fluctuations in the number of reported incidents may be attributable to a true change in the volume of hate crimes, but they might also reflect changes in reporting by the public because of increased community outreach by police or heightened sensitivity after high-profile events."

In this age of "fake hate crimes" show me actual violence ...wounds, firebombed churches and the like. On that Christians and Jews have been "most-targeted" lately as far as I can see.
A video of kids at an Islamic center in Houston, Texas pledging their allegiance to the supreme leader of Iran is setting off alarm bells among experts, who are warning this has all the signs of the Iranian regime's global indoctrination efforts to spread its revolutionary ideology and recruit operatives abroad.
The viral video was initially posted to YouTube and Facebook last week by the Islamic Education Center of Houston (IEC), which organized the event calling on parents to bring children aged 4-14, according to its social media pages. The original video posts were later removed, but clips remain online.

YJCMTSU! The entire Iranian forbearance in acts of domestic terrorism in the US has been their expectation of billions in cash from the preposterous negotiations to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This is the cadre they have been growing here for Direct Action after that risible effort is finished, however it plays out. A cancer in the heart of the "Great Satan" while the EFFBEYE looks for MVE under every Betsy Ross Flag.
See here for links to all of today’s posts on Operation Breaking Dawn.
[JPost] "Hundreds"! even, so what's their game?
On Friday and earlier on Saturday, a number of MKs from Meretz
...the current iteration of Israel’s labour socialists. Where once they ruled the country, they now have all of six seats in the Knesset...
and the Joint List
...President Obama’s expensively futile project to unite the various Arab-Israeli political parties into one fist, with which he planned to beat Bibi Netanyahu’s government. Unfortunately they didn’t stay bribed; now the Muslim Brotherhood end of the effort is a valued member of the government — and refusing to condemn Israel for the current little war with Gaza — while the secular parties to the thing languish, unloved, in the political wilderness...
condemned Israel’s decision to launch the operation.
Hundreds of people protested against Operation Breaking Dawn on Saturday in differing locations throughout the country.
At a protest in Haifa, Joint List chairman Ayman Odeh said: "A round [of fighting] brings another round, more killing and more resistance. The circle of horror needs to stop. We came out to protest together for the only way that will benefit both nations — real negotiations to end the occupation, founding a Palestinian state alongside Israel and a just peace."
MK Aida Touma-Sliman (Joint List) also joined one of the protests.
"Stop the attack on Gaza! Continuing the war on Gaza will only lead to more suffering and casualties," she said. "An immediate ceasefire is necessary — those who started it with a political decision should end it with a political decision. Only a diplomatic solution and an end to the occupation and siege will bring true security."
"A round [of fighting] brings another round, more killing and more resistance. The circle of horror needs to stop. We came out to protest together for the only way that will benefit both nations — real negotiations to end the occupation, founding a Palestinian state alongside Israel and a just peace."

Protests were also held in Shfaram, Umm el-Fahm,
...base of the outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, the militant arm of the Israeli branch of the Muslim Brotherhood...
Rahat, Kafr Yasif, Jaffa, Taibe and opposite the house of Prime Minister Yair Lapid in Tel Aviv.
The protesters held handmade signs calling for an end to the violence and at some places waved Palestinian flags.
[Al Ahram] Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s have killed 11 people, including a senior commander from the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , an Iran-backed holy warrior group, who was slain in a assassination.
