[KhaamaPress] The spokesperson for Pakistain’s Foreign Ministry, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, stated that terrorist groups have found safe havens in Afghanistan and are launching attacks on Pakistain from there. "These are ones we don't control!"
Baloch urged the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... to fulfill their commitments under the Doha Agreement and take action against these terrorist groups in Afghanistan. Without naming specific groups, she called for concrete steps to prevent their activities.
Why would the Taliban act against their friends and colleagues in the jihad game?
During a press briefing on Thursday, Zahra Baloch highlighted that international concerns about the security situation in Afghanistan have been repeatedly raised in UN reports and during meetings with regional countries.
Baloch also disclosed that Islamabad has shared its concerns with Washington about the large cache of weapons obtained by terrorist groups in Afghanistan,
…the cache they acquired when the American Armed Forces fled the field like they did long ago in Viet Nam, fulfilling all sorts of anti-war fantasies of those inhabiting the left wing of the Democratic Party nowadays?
which are now being used against Pakistain. Both Pakistain and the U.S. are working together to push the Taliban to honor their counter-terrorism commitments.
It was always taqqiya — honouring those words was precisely what they never intended to do.
She reaffirmed Pakistain’s stance that terrorist groups continue to operate from Afghan soil, conducting attacks inside Pakistain. "We believe terrorism is not only a threat to Afghanistan but also to its neighboring countries, including Pakistain, and to the world as a whole," she said.
But more to those poor suckers running Pakistan, who turn out not to be nearly as clever as they assumed.
Over the past three years, attacks by the Pak Taliban on Pakistain’s security forces have intensified. Analysts suggest that the Pak forces of Evil are allies of the Afghan Taliban, who are reluctant to expel them from Afghanistan.
It’s not reluctance, it’s determination not to — and that’s before the easy exchange of personnel as needed for various projects.
The Taliban, responding to regional concerns, have claimed they do not allow any group to attack neighboring countries from Afghan soil. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... Pakistain insists that the leadership and a significant number of Pak Talibs are present in Afghanistan.
Pakistain’s expectations of the Taliban curbing the activities of the Pak Taliban (TTP) have not materialized in the three years since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan. Instead, Pakistain claims the Taliban have allowed the TTP to establish safe havens in border regions.
Earlier, Pakistain shared "conclusive evidence" of the TTP’s presence with China’s special envoy on Afghanistan during his visit to Islamabad. Pakistain’s approach to Afghanistan is now being handled by its deputy foreign minister for West Asia and Afghanistan, following the removal of its special envoy for Afghanistan, Asif Ali Durrani.

[KavkazUzel] The Russian Supreme Court has refused to overturn the sentence of Ingushetia residents Aslan Bekov and Ruslan Tsitskiev, who were sentenced to long prison terms for preparing a terrorist attack during the 2018 World Cup. Appeal denied, original sentence upheld.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on May 30, 2022, it became known that the court sentenced four residents of Ingushetia to long prison terms, including Aslan Bekov and Ruslan Tsitskiev, finding them guilty of preparing a terrorist attack during the 2018 World Cup, justifying terrorism, illegal possession of weapons and membership in the "Islamic State".
The Supreme Court of Russia has refused to overturn the sentence of Aslan Bekov and Ruslan Tsitskiev in the case of participation in an Islamic State cell*, according to the case file published on the court's website.
In 2022, the Southern District Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Bekov to 21 years in prison, Tsitskiev to 20 years.
According to investigators, Bekov created an ISIS cell in 2018, which included several residents of Ingushetia. All of them, according to investigators, planned terrorist attacks during the World Cup in Russia, including in Ingushetia. A counter-terrorist operation against members of the ISIS cell took place in June 2018 in Nazran.
Let us recall that this special operation caused indignation among the residents of Ingushetia. Those killed during the special operation were members of the family of a retired police colonel, none of them had any connection with the militants and did not shoot at the security forces, local residents said. The security forces, however, claimed that the killed had sworn allegiance to ISIS.
The militants killed in Ingushetia were preparing terrorist attacks on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, said Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, who headed the republic at the time. The convicted men themselves said they had confessed under torture.
[IsraelTimes] The Dutch government has launched a new plan to tackle antisemitism, two weeks after mob attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam that shocked the world.
The cabinet earmarked an additional 4.5 million euros ($4.7 million) annually for the plan, some of which will go towards stepping up security at Jewish sites.
“Unfortunately, anti-Semitism has increased further in the Netherlands in the past year. And the events in Amsterdam two weeks ago have shown that very clearly to the Netherlands,” says Justice Minister David van Weel.
In the early hours of November 8, visiting supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv were assaulted in various parts of the city following calls on social media to attack them.
The violence sparked outrage in Israel and among Dutch politicians, who described them as antisemitic.
The government strategy also calls for the establishment of an antisemitism taskforce, tougher laws on “glorifying terrorism” and a probe into violence during protests. Football fans will also be targeted in a bid to eradicate antisemitic chanting in stadiums.
The strategy is “a combination of repression and prevention,” Prime Minister Dick Schoof tells reporters at a regular weekly briefing.
“We have found the right balance.”
Probably not, when you’re eager to arrest the chief executive of the only Jewish state for defending his people against vicious attackers, but whatevs.
[IsraelTimes] District attorney says not possible to prove charges against pro-Palestinian demonstrator arrested outside synagogue ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’
Prosecutors in New York dropped charges Friday against a keffiyeh-wearing, pro-Paleostinian protester who was among the first people arrested under a local face mask ban that’s stirred free speech concerns.
Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly’s office confirmed it moved to dismiss the charges against Xavier Roa during a court hearing on Long Island.
He was leading the protest against a synagogue. ANSWER Coalition, formerly known as International ANSWER, yet another tentacle of the anarcho-communist Black Bloc movement organized a protest against his arrest, strongly suggesting Mr. Roa is a Black Bloc cadre.
"The case was investigated extensively and upon conclusion NCDA determined that the allegations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and moved to dismiss the charges," spokesperson Nicole Turso said in a statement.
Roa’s lawyer Geoffrey Stewart hailed the decision as a "big victory" for his client and "for civil liberties," but argued the law itself "should be struck from the books."
"This case shows that the law can, and in all likelihood will be abused by law enforcement because the law is unconstitutionally vague," he said in an email.
Stewart has maintained that Roa acted respectfully and complied with officers as he peacefully exercised his constitutionally protected free speech rights during a protest outside an Orthodox synagogue in September.
The North Bellmore resident was detained under Nassau County’s Mask Transparency Act, which bans people from wearing masks to conceal their identity in public. It includes exemptions for people who wear masks "for health, safety, religious or cultural purposes."
The county’s Republican-controlled Legislature approved the law in August in response to "antisemitic incidents, often perpetrated by those in masks" since the Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... onslaught in southern Israel last year that started the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Roa, who faced up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor charge, was the first protester arrested under the ban.
The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... and other groups claimed at the time it was proof that the local law was being used as a "silencing tactic" against Paleostinian supporters.
Nassau County police said Roa had been attempting to conceal his identity as he led others in pro-Paleostinian chants. They also said he told officers he was wearing the scarf in solidarity with Paleostinians and not for exempted medical or religious purposes.
In videos showing some of the arrest, Roa wears the keffiyeh around his neck as he’s led away in handcuffs.
[IsraelTimes] Pam Bondi also said those backing Palestinian terror group ‘need to be taken out of our country,’ a step which GOP platform advocates for noncitizens
Pam Bondi, whom US President-elect Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... has tapped to be his attorney general, said last year that campus protesters who express support for Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... should face FBI questioning.
Trump named Bondi, who served as Florida attorney general from 2011 to 2019, on Thursday. The nomination came after his first pick, the scandal-plagued former Florida representative Matt Gaetz, withdrew following meetings with Republican senators, who apparently made clear that allegations of sexual predation and drug use, which he has denied, would bury him.
Bondi’s confirmation process is expected to face fewer hurdles.
On Friday, Jewish Insider uncovered an interview Bondi gave Newsmax, the conservative news outlet, last year about the spike in anti-Israel protests on American campuses following Hamas’s October 7 attack, which sparked Israel’s multi-front war.
"The thing that really was troubling to me, these students in universities in our country — whether they’re here as Americans or if they’re here on student visas — and they’re out there saying, ’I support Hamas,’" she said in the October 23, 2023, interview. "Frankly, they need to be taken out of our country, or the FBI needs to be interviewing them right away when they’re saying, ’I support Hamas. I am Hamas.’ That’s not saying I support all these poor Paleostinians who are trapped in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... A number of protests in the weeks after the attacks included people who praised the attacks, although most of the protesters focused on condemning Israel’s counterattacks and on the suffering of Gaza Paleostinians. Over the past year-plus, some hardline pro-Paleostinian activists have continued to evince support for Hamas.
The Republican Party platform, released in July, calls for the deportation of noncitizens who back Hamas and terrorism, and pledges to "make our college campuses safe and patriotic again." Trump and his advisers have also called for deporting foreign students who organize pro-Hamas protests.
The platform does not recommend the investigation of Americans who express rhetorical support for the terrorist group, as Bondi did in her interview, a path that could trigger First Amendment challenges.
Bondi, one of Trump’s earliest and most steadfast backers in his bid for the presidency, advised him during his first impeachment proceedings. She has a record of pro-Israel statements, lining her up with most of Trump’s other cabinet picks, though she has also lobbied for Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... ’s government, according to Semafor.

Let's see ... The Left, Socialists, Democrats openly display support for a genocidal Terrorist group, and they call MAGA Nazi's????
🤔
So until Trump flushes the Obama/Biden element out of our _ _ _ Government Agencies, don't expect to see anything seriously done to curtail what that 5th column is doing.

The denial of Mike Rogers an FBI posting is certainly an encouraging start.

Patel, Rogers, and Paxton have been talked about for FBI Director. Seems like Roger's won't make the cut; too much of a swamp creature. Patel has talked about shutting down the FBI and turning the building into a museum. Paxton has not been discussed very much. Patel, Paxton or someone else?

And find out who left the pallets of bricks. Let's just send them all to gitmo, they can shack up with their terrorist buddies until it's shark feeding time.
Something to pass in both House and Senate in January.
[IsraelTimes] Bipartisan legislation narrowly passes after many Democrats withdraw support; groups, including dozens of Jewish organizations, have said bill is too broad and can be abused
The US House passed legislation Thursday that would give the Treasury Department unilateral authority to strip the tax-exempt status of nonprofits it claims support terrorism, alarming civil liberties groups about how a second Trump presidency could invoke it to punish political opponents.
Progressive projection — it’s what they would do, just like the rounded up the January 6 protesters.
The bill passed 219-184, with the majority of the support coming from Republicans who accused Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... of reversing course in their support for the "common sense" proposal only after Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... was elected to a second term earlier this month.
Speaking on the House floor ahead of the vote, Rep. Jason Smith, GOP chair of the House Boodle Central, argued that his colleagues across the aisle would still be supporting the bill had Vice President Kamala Harris who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' knees won the presidential election. "And we, as members of Congress, have the duty to make sure that taxpayers are not subsidizing terrorism," the Missouri politician said. "It’s very, very simple."
But the proposal has drawn concern from a range of nonprofits who say it could be used to target organizations, including news outlets, universities and civil society groups, that a future presidential administration disagrees with. They say it does not offer groups enough due process.
A coalition of more than 55 centrist and progressive Jewish groups has been lobbying against the bill.
That’s the kind of centrists who are really Progressive, but do go on.
"This bill is an authoritarian play by Republicans to expand the sweeping powers of the executive branch, to go after political enemies and stifle political dissent," Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said on the House floor ahead of the vote.
Critics also see it as redundant as it is already against US law to support designated terrorist groups. The proposal, which now goes to the Democratic-controlled Senate where its fate is uncertain, would also postpone tax-filing deadlines for Americans held hostage or unlawfully detained abroad.
The bill would create a new category of "terrorist supporting organizations," according to an analysis by the Congressional Research Service of a previous version of the legislation. This category is defined as any organization the Treasury Secretary designates as having provided material support to a terrorist organization in the past three years.
"We think this legislation is an overreach," said Jenn Holcomb, vice president of government affairs at the Council on Foundations. "It would allow the Secretary of the Treasury to designate a 501c nonprofit as a terrorist organization at their discretion. And our concern is it doesn’t have enough in there to really ensure that a nonprofit understands the reasoning that a secretary designated as such."
The bill would give a nonprofit designated as "terror-supporting" 90 days to appeal that designation. Nonprofits like the American Civil Liberties Union have said that the bill does not require that the Treasury Secretary disclose all the evidence that was used to make the designation.
The bill text outlines how the Treasury must send "a description of such material support or resources to the extent consistent with national security and law enforcement interests."
In a joint statement with the Independent Sector, National Council of Nonprofits, and United Philanthropy Forum, the Council on Foundations also said the bill would shift the burden of proof to the nonprofit, and even if an organization was eventually cleared, the nonprofit would "risk irreparable damage to their operations and reputation."
If it were to become law, the bill could apply to a range of nonprofits, including membership organizations, unions and private foundations.
A version of the bill was first introduced after the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... onslaught in Israel, when Paleostinian faceless myrmidons killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages into Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... . The House passed a previous version of the bill in April, including with the support of some Democrats.
The bill was also brought up for a vote last week but failed to garner a two-thirds majority required under the suspension of the rules.
Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib ...the very first ever Paleostinian-American ever sworn into Congress in 2019. She is a member of The Squad and consistently votes against the U.S. national interest. She's a Dem, naturally, from a safe district you wouldn't want to live in (Michigan's 12th congressional district). She wants the country to be kinda like Gaza only without any Jews for neighbors... , the only Paleostinian-American representative in Congress, said Thursday before the vote that it would be her third time voting against the bill.
"I don’t care who the president of the United States is," she said. "This is a dangerous and unconstitutional bill that would allow unchecked power to target nonprofit organizations as political enemies and shut them down without due process."

Always the question.
I'd argue Red Cross facilitating the transit and insertion of Venezuelan gangsters would count, but then Clooney gets the position and suddenly it is anyone who opposes pederferlia.
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill to support efforts to relocate Afghan allies of Washington to the United States. The legislation calls for the appointment of a coordinator in the U.S. State Department to oversee these efforts.
According to the text of the "Afghan Relocation Efforts Coordinator Act 2024," published on the Congress website, the coordinator will be responsible for the "relocation and resettlement of eligible Afghan allies" and facilitating the departure of U.S. citizens and permanent residents from Afghanistan.
Additionally, the coordinator will support the State Department and the U.S. government’s efforts to assist in the resettlement and relocation of Afghan nationals.
The draft bill was introduced for consideration on October 6 by Dina Titus, a representative from Nevada.
The bill was approved on Wednesday, November 20, with 334 votes in favor, 63 against, and 36 abstentions.
After the bill’s passage, Dina Titus stated on her social media account, "I am proud to have led this bill to ensure we can bring eligible Afghan allies who helped the U.S. and are facing threats from the Taliban ...Arabic for students... to safety."
This legislation comes as thousands of eligible Afghan refugees await relocation to the U.S. They are currently stranded in Afghanistan, Pakistain, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , and Albania, with some having been outside Afghanistan for over three years. Many fear the relocation process might be halted if Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... returns to office.
The slow pace of the relocation process has added to the anxiety of Afghan refugees. As political changes loom in the U.S., the uncertainty surrounding their future intensifies, making immediate action more critical.
This situation also highlights the broader challenges of refugee relocation during global crises. International cooperation and a streamlined process are essential to ensure that those who risked their lives supporting foreign missions are not left behind in vulnerable conditions.
