[IsraelTimes] Employees at a café in Oakland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party ...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... , were fired after being filmed recently barring a customer from entering the establishment’s bathroom, as she attempted to film an anti-Israel message inside, the owners of the establishment said Saturday.
Farley’s East café’s management said in a statement that due to the incident, they "fell short" of the intended "safe space" they sought to create when they opened their business 35 years ago.
"Events like these strike fear in the Jewish community and perpetuate the rise of antisemitism in our community and around the world. We do not tolerate any behavior at Farley’s that makes people feel unwelcome or safe," the statement read.
The female patron of Farley’s East had apparently complained to the staff about the graffiti inside the bathroom and sought to go inside again to film the messages, but was blocked from doing so by an employee.
Reports on the incident claimed the woman was Jewish, though that was unconfirmed. Her accent was non-local and may have been Israeli, but that too was unknown.
After the incident went viral online, Farley’s East issued an apology on social media, characterizing the graffiti in the bathroom as "hate speech" and saying that it had been removed, while insisting the chain was not antisemitic.
"The staff handled the situation poorly and we apologize for this error and the distress caused to the customer. We’ve taken corrective measures with our staff and removed the offensive graffiti," the coffee shop said, without specifying what action had been taken toward the employees.
Then on Saturday, the café said that "the employees involved in the incident are no longer employed by Farley’s."
"Though all employees are entitled to hold differing viewpoints, they are not entitled to express themselves on the job in ways that are disrespectful and hurtful to anyone," it said.
Oakland made headlines last week when some participants at a city council meeting on a resolution calling for a ceasefire 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 an 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... voiced denials of the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... , while others backed the terror group’s right to use violence against Israel.
Before approving the resolution, the city council voted 6-2 to reject proposed amendments that specifically condemned killings and hostage-taking by Hamas, whose slaughter of some 1,200 people and kidnapping of around 240 others sparked the war in the Gaza Strip.
[YouTube] Alpha News is proud to present “The Fall of Minneapolis.” This documentary is provided free of charge due to generous donors. Please consider a 100% tax-deductible donation to support our work and help promote this film: https://alphanews.revv.co/movie
The film is based on Liz Collin’s Amazon bestseller, “They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd,” which exposes the holes in the prevailing narrative surrounding George Floyd’s death, the trial of Derek Chauvin, and the fallout the city of Minneapolis has suffered ever since.
The documentary features more than a dozen interviews with the people directly involved, including exclusive interviews with former officers Derek Chauvin and Alexander Kueng who spoke to Liz Collin from prison. The families of Chauvin and Kueng also speak out publicly for the first time.
The film also features current and former Minneapolis police officers who tell their harrowing stories from the riots, recount the planned surrender of the Third Precinct, and explain why so many of them left the job.
The crowdfunded movie was produced by Alpha News journalist Liz Collin and directed by Dr. J.C. Chaix. Cinematography by Josh Feland.
Mr. Chauvin’s condition as of Dember 4th, after being stabbed by an FBI informant while in prison:
[FoxNews] Derek Chauvin has returned to prison after the former Minneapolis police officer was stabbed 22 times by a fellow inmate, his attorney said.
Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, was allegedly stabbed with an “improvised knife” Nov. 24 while in the law library at Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, by inmate John Turscak, 52, according to a criminal complaint.
Chauvin’s attorney Gregory M. Erickson, said in a statement Sunday that he spoke with Chauvin’s family Saturday and “they confirmed that this medical condition has improved to the extent that he has been removed from the trauma care facility at a local Tucson hospital and returned to prison custody for his follow up care.”
“His family is very concerned about the facility’s capacity to protect Derek from further harm. They remain unassured that any changes have been made to the faulty procedures that allowed Derek’s attack to occur in the first place,” Erickson added.
Turscak has been charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury in connection with the stabbing, according to federal prosecutors. Attorney information for Turscak was not available Monday.
He told federal prosecutors he chose that day to attack Chauvin, the day after Thanksgiving commonly known as “Black Friday,” to symbolize the Black Lives Matter movement and the “black hand” symbol of the Mexican mafia.
Turscak also told corrections officers that he would have killed Chauvin had they not responded to the attack so quickly, according to the criminal complaint.
"Derek’s family did receive confirmation from Derek himself that the facts contained in the charging document are accurate; the attack was made in the law library, where the perpetrator attacked Derek from behind with an improvised knife," Erickson said.
The attorney echoed Chauvin’s family's safety concerns about the prison, saying when he tried to get information regarding “changes in the prison’s procedures,” he was told to make a Freedom of Information Act request.
"It remains a mystery how the perpetrator was able to obtain and possess dangerous materials [that were able to be formed into an improvised knife], and how a guard was unable to reach and apprehend the perpetrator until Derek had been stabbed twenty-two times," Erickson said. "Why was Derek allowed into the law library without a guard in close enough proximity to stop a possible attack? His family continues to wonder."
"We will continue to try to ascertain what additional measures are being made to protect Derek and will pursue any avenues available under the law to ensure his continued safety," he added.
Chauvin is serving a sentence of 22½ years for kneeling on Floyd’s neck for 9½ minutes while the Black man said he couldn’t breathe and went limp. The former officer is simultaneously serving a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22½-year state sentence for second-degree murder.

[Regnum] A global shortage of gunpowder is expected, Newsweek reports, citing Vista Outdoor, the management company for many firearms businesses.
“Due to world events, our suppliers have notified us of unprecedented demand and an expected global shortage of powder and have therefore increased prices significantly,” said company vice president of sales Brett Nelson.
The material clarifies that companies such as Remington, Alliant Powder, CCI, Federal, SEVI-Shot and Speer have already announced price increases. New prices will appear in the coming weeks.
As reported by IA Regnum , earlier Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal in an interview with the Financial Times said that in the republic, as well as throughout the world, there is a shortage of ammunition. He also voiced the idea that shells for the whole world should be produced in Ukraine.
The Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, Alexander Kamyshin , later clarified that the country could produce and receive such a volume of ammunition that could be equivalent to “the arsenal of the entire free world.”
The shortage of ammunition did not occur throughout the world, but only in the European Union and the United States, that is, in those countries that blindly helped the Kyiv regime. The head of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Russian University of Economics stated this in an interview with IA Regnum . Plekhanov, expert of the Association of Military Political Scientists Andrey Koshkin.
[IsraelTimes] Cairo’s dwindling community, numbering only five native members, decides not to hold candle-lighting in a city synagogue, amid growing antisemitism
The small Jewish community in Cairo has decided not to hold celebrations of the Hanukkah festival in one of the city’s synagogues, amid the ongoing 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 an 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... The decision came due to the prevalent anti-Israeli sentiment in the Egyptian capital, according to a source from the community quoted by the Kan public broadcaster.

[AFRICANEWS] Polling stations opened Sunday for Egyptians to vote in a presidential election overshadowed by war in neighbouring Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

...Well, the French are in there now, having taken down a drone yesterday, and there are rumors that the UK and Australia are on the way.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Gov. Greg Abbott ... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too... is on a steadfast mission to defend the state of Texas from the invasion of illegal immigrants colonists at the U.S. southern border.
Abbott announced that Texas has bussed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants colonists to sanctuary cities, and plans to keep doing so "until Biden secures the border." This comes as the President's administration has allowed a historic number of illegal immigrants colonists to invade the United States, which has desecrated border towns at the hands of Biden's open border policies.
The cities that have been receiving these illegal immigrants colonists include Washington D.C., New York City, reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.
Gov. Abbott boasted on X that Texas has sent "over 12,500 to DC, over 25,000 to New York City, over 20,000 to Chicago, over 3,200 to Philadelphia, over 7,400 to Denver, over 1,100 to Los Angeles."
"Our mission provides vital relief to border towns," Abbott said.
Mugged by reality? Perhaps there is a but following this yes.
[IsraelTimes] Sen. Bernie Sanders, a harsh critic of Israel, repeats his assertion that there is no possibility of having a permanent ceasefire with a group like Hamas.
“I don’t know how you can have a permanent ceasefire with Hamas, who has said before October 7 and after October 7, that they want to destroy Israel and they want a permanent war,” Sanders says in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“I don’t know how you have a permanent ceasefire with an attitude like that… I think Israel has the right to defend itself and to go after Hamas, not the Palestinian people.”
Ahhh — there’s the but. Israel has to fight with both hands and a foot tied behind her back, otherwise it’s not fair.

[Regnum] The solution to the Syrian conflict requires raising the issue of the withdrawal of the US and Turkish Armed Forces from Syria, as well as Kurdish forces and sanctions. This was announced on December 10 by the UN Secretary General's special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen.
“To resolve the conflict in Syria, it is necessary to raise a number of issues, including raising the issue of the withdrawal of Turkish and American troops, the issue of Kurdish formations, and sanctions,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying .
He added that a new approach is required from the opposition and the government of the Syrian Arab Republic to resolve the conflict, which today “appears to be frozen.”
As Regnum reported, in early November in Syria, nine people were killed after US Air Force strikes on the orders of President Joe Biden on weapons depots belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and associated groups.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that on the orders of President Joe Biden, the US Air Force carried out strikes on targets of pro-Iranian forces in eastern Syria.
White House employee during the administration of Ronald Reagan Paul Craig Roberts said that the United States wants to provoke new wars in the Middle East and drag other countries into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
[IsraelTimes] A senior Israeli official acknowledges that the photos of hundreds of Paleostinian men being stripped to their underwear after their arrest by the IDF 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 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... might be "uncomfortable."
However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... the official briefing The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity insists that the army is only stopping those against whom it has concrete suspicions and that the stripping was necessary in order to ensure that none of them are hiding weapons or explosives.
A number of pictures and videos that have leaked online in recent days show dozens of semi-naked Paleostinian men being arrested. In some pictures, the detainees are being forced to sit or kneel on the ground in the open, sometimes blindfolded, while others show groups being marched with their hands in restraints or alleged fighters handing over weapons.
The Israeli military has confirmed arresting hundreds, claiming that Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... members are surrendering in high numbers, as the terror group collapses under the army’s campaign to crush it.
But the military has also indicated that many of those it detained were later released, and officials have said that soldiers may be operating under a guideline of arrest first and question later.
[IsraelTimes] Director Steven Spielberg has begun collecting video testimonies of the atrocities committed by Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... murderous Moslems against Israelis on October 7, to add to his USC Shoah Foundation’s collection of Holocaust survivor and witness testimony.
"I never imagined I would see such unspeakable barbarity against Jews in my lifetime," Spielberg was quoted as saying by the foundation, which holds the world’s largest video collection of Holocaust survivor and witness testimony.
Speaking to Fox News about the effort, Spielberg expressed shock at the violence perpetrated by Hamas murderous Moslems against Israelis, along with the wave of antisemitism around the world in the past two months.
"I find it very, very surprising, because antisemitism has always been there. It’s either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight, but always lurking, or it has been much more overt, like Germany in the 30s," he said.
"But not since Germany in the 30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini," Spielberg said.
The US-based organization is now collaborating with production teams in Israel to collect witness accounts of the massacres on October 7, when some 3,000 murderous Moslems burst across the border into Israel from the 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... Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people, most of them civilians slaughtered amid brutal atrocities, and seizing over 240 hostages.

In an article released early November announcing the effort, the foundation cited the testimony of Shaylee Atary Winner, who beat feet from her home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza with her four-week-old baby early in the morning of October 7.
Her husband Yahav Winner was murdered by murderous Moslems while he was helping his wife and baby escape.
"When I was with Shaya in the garden shed, I told myself, ’Shaylee, think about Holocaust films. What would a mother and a baby do?’ Because this is how it felt. I felt like they are actually running after me and Shaya, like she is prey. ... No regular situation in my regular reality could be even close to what we [were going] through," Shaylee said in her testimony.
Atary Winner’s testimony is one of 130 interviews recorded so far as part of the October 7 survivor testimony collection effort, which will be accessible to the public online via the foundation’s Visual History Archive in the USC Shoah Foundation’s Countering Antisemitism Through Testimony Collection (CATT), which documents post-Holocaust antisemitism.
Spielberg, who founded the organization in 1994, believes that the effort will "ensure that the voices of survivors will act as a powerful tool to counter the dangerous rise of antisemitism and hate."
We say to the enemy public and its leadership, you will not be able to take your prisoners alive without submitting to the conditions of the Qassam Brigades.
If there is a peacekeeping force, we should be the first to go (to Gaza) because it was our land. Türkiye is not the old Türkiye. pic.twitter.com/8NpSxGo87u
Do shut up, you deeply unimportant little man. Nobody cares what Turkey wants in this situation except Hamas, and soon Hamas won’t have a vote.

This could be fun. Everyone has a claim. So, let's rotate the 'staff' like the old Spandau prison after WW2. Start with the Israelis, then the Greeks, back to the Israelis, then the Italians, then the Egyptians, then Vatican City,... XD
[IsraelTimes] The Shin Bet security agency publishes footage showing the interrogation of former Hamas communications minister, Yousef al-Mansi [in Israeli custody], who appears to heavily criticize the terror group.
"This is a group of crazy people that [Yahya] Sinwar leads. They destroyed the Gaza Strip. Set it back 200 years," al-Mansi says in translated excerpts provided by the Shin Bet.
In the 14-minute video published by the agency, al-Mansi says, "People in the Gaza Strip say that Sinwar and his group destroyed us. We must get rid of them."
[Jpost] Iran’s Tasnim News stated that the air defense units of Iran have been armed with drones that have air-to-air missiles.
Iran foresees a new role for its Karrar drone. It has armed the drone with what it calls Majid air-to-air missiles. This drone has a range of 1,000km, and Iran’s regime has claimed it in the past.
The drone had been seen with an air-to-air missile in late October. This is the latest announcement by the Iranian regime that the drone or UAV may be used in an air defense capacity.
In a new ceremony, Iran’s Tasnim News said that the drones have now joined the air defense units of Iran.
THE CAPABILITY OF THE DRONE
The combination of the drone and the missile would give Iran a new type of capability because Iran’s air force is relatively small.
Giving Iran new interceptors in the air would increase the country’s capabilities to defend its long borders. However, this would require the country to have a lot of these drones armed at all times.
It would also require the country to have the right radars to help detect and perhaps guide the drones. It’s currently unclear how the drone will be flown to intercept its target and then launch its missile. It’s also unclear how this will be an improvement on Iran’s existing air defenses such as the 3rd Khordad system.
Iran’s commander of its air defenses, Alireza Sabahifard, said that the drones could be used on most of Iran’s borders in the West and East.
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DRONE?
The new capability is designed for Iran’s official air force, not the IRGC, as the IRGC already has drones, defenses, and capabilities of its own.
Iran’s main aim in putting missiles on the Karrar drone appears to be to save costs.
The new capability is at a much lower cost than manned fighter planes, with the reason for the price decrease being that Iran’s actual air force is aging, and Iran appears to know it is not up to the task.
Iran has been seeking new warplanes from Russia, but, overall, Iran faces major hurdles in modernizing its air force.
Iran’s Tasnim News said that under the new plan, the drone can track targets using “thermal” and “visual” methods and that this is a completely “indigenous” achievement of Iran’s industries.
According to Tasnim News, the Karrar drone armed with the Majid missile successfully performed in the army's drone exercise in October of this year.
The Karrar drone is an interesting platform for missiles because it previously appeared to be a re-design of a target drone used in the West, and it is unclear how it returns to base. The drone also appears in design more like a cruise missile than a drone.
In essence, the Iranians have taken a very simple platform and armed it with missiles.
It appears the theory for Iran’s air defenders here is that if a threat is detected, the Karrar drone can be launched and quickly move to intercept. It will do so by using its engine, and claimed speed of some 900 km/hr, to get within several kilometers of the threat and then launch its missile. Although doing this appears to be an unwieldy way to perform this mission, it meets Iran’s needs, as the country doesn't have enough warplanes to carry out such duties.
Putting missiles on drones provides Iran with other ways to threaten its neighbors. For instance, it can fly these drones out to sea and then use them to attack other drones.
Iran could, in theory, use this drone to fly out to sea and then use the drone’s missile to attack an enemy drone.
This may be another concept for Iran in terms of countering drones, not countering manned aircraft.
[IsraelTimes] Iranian authorities have accused a Swedish EU diplomat, held in a Tehran prison for more than 600 days, of conspiring with Israel to harm the Islamic Theocratic Republic, the judiciary says.
"Johan Floderus is accused of extensive measures against the security of the country, extensive intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime and corruption on earth," the judiciary’s Mizan Online news agency says.
Corruption on earth is one of Iran’s most serious offenses, which carries a maximum penalty of death.
"The defendant has been active against the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in the field of gathering information for the benefit of the Zionist regime in the form of subversive projects," Mizan quotes the prosecution as saying.
Earlier today, the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... ’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called for the immediate release of the Swedish diplomat, arguing "there are absolutely no grounds for keeping Johan Floderus in detention."
Floderus, 33, works for the European Union diplomatic service. He was arrested on April 17, 2022, at Tehran airport as he was returning from a trip abroad, and is being held in Tehran’s Evin prison.
Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom said yesterday that the trial had begun in Iran.
"There is no basis whatsoever for keeping Johan Floderus in detention, let alone bringing him to trial," Billstrom said.

Why has there not been more outrage over a diplomat being held in prison for 600 days? If it was the US holding a diplomat there would be 24/7 coverage.
