-Lurid Crime Tales-
Hallandale Beach PD: Jeffrey Fleming Arrested For Shouting Anti-Semitic Slurs, Dumping Human Feces At Chabad Of South Broward
It’s not just Democrat controlled New York City and Los Angeles, but it’s still the same non-Muslim demographic.
[CBSMiami] — The Hallandale Beach Police Department has announced the arrest of a man wanted for hurling anti-Semitic slurs and dumping a bag of feces outside a synagogue.

Jeffrey Fleming is being charged with stalking with an enhancement for a hate crime and for littering human waste.

The Chabad of South Broward said they’re beefing up security following the acts of hate.

One man who attends the Hallandale Beach synagogue told CBS4 he has been the target of hate at this same location in the past.

"He actually greeted us by saying, ’Shabbat shalom’ and we were like, ’Shabbat shalom,’" said Joe Messa. "When we got 10 feet away from, he goes, ’Even though I’m a Nazi,’ he screams to us,
...the old-fashioned Aryan Nazis would be startled to see the likes of him among them...
’And I want to kill you all one by one.’"
Another very swarthy White Supremacist
Messa said acts of hate towards himself and others in the Jewish community are a harsh and perpetual reality.

According to Hallandale Beach police, officers responded to the Chabad of South Broward on Saturday.

The woman who called police said she saw a man dump a large bag of human feces on the sidewalk and shouted, "Jews should die."

CBS4 was first to obtain surveillance camera footage of an incident earlier that day which shows the same man spitting at the Menorah in the parking lot.

He was dressed in all white and riding an electric bicycle.

The Anti-Defamation League tracks incidents of hate.

Their data shows that Florida saw a near 40% increase in anti-Semitic incidents between 2019 and 2020.

The ADL also said Florida is one of the top states for these kinds of acts.

Self described Nazi Jeffrey Fleming does not like Jews so...he heads off to the local Chabad with a crate of $hit?

Murderous Muslim arrested after attacking church, Black man, yeshiva, Jew
[NYPost] An alleged Brooklyn bigot arrested for toppling a crucifix at a Bensonhurst church last week has also been charged with torching a Boro Park yeshiva and synagogue.

Ali Alaheri, 29, was arrested Friday in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Arson and Explosives Task Force, and the NYPD Hate Crime Unit.

Alaheri was captured on surveillance video piling garbage bags against the side of a building at 1128 36th Street, the home of Yeshiva Heichal Hatalmud of Boro Park, and setting them on fire shortly after 4 a.m. Wednesday, according to federal court papers. The FDNY quickly put out the flames.

A week earlier, Alaheri allegedly attacked a crucifix and set an American flag on fire at St. Athanasius Church on Bay Parkway at 61st Street, according to the NYPD, who announced his arrest in the incident early Saturday.

Gov. Cuomo had slammed the May 14 incident at St. Athanasius as "an act of hate."

It’s not clear what inspired Alaheri’s alleged actions.

Surveillance video played a key role in Alaheri’s arrest in both incidents, authorities said. He was allegedly caught on camera lingering around the yeshiva for hours, hopping in and out of a nearby vehicle several times and changing his clothes several times, and at some point, stopped to set the fire, authorities said.

Moments after he left the car for the last time, the camera picked up Alaheri again, "punching a Jewish man multiple times in the head with no provocation or prior interaction," the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York said in a criminal complaint. The man had been sitting in front of a nearby auto body shop when Alaheri attacked, according to the complaint.

Alaheri then jumped over a fence into an alleyway about two blocks away, stole a bicycle and rode off, according to prosecutors, who said Alaheri’s getaway was caught on surveillance video and in photos taken by a bystander.

Less than an hour later, Alaheri was ticketed by NYPD in Prospect Park for riding a bicycle in the wrong direction along a bike path. He showed the cops two forms of ID: an EBT, or food stamps, card and a state ID, and was videoed by their body cameras.

Separate footage shows a man matching Alaheri’s description outside St. Athanasius, federal court papers said.

That video shows a man wearing a gray sweatshirt and khaki pants, carrying a hammer in his back pocket, and walking toward the church from a block where several 911 callers reported a man trying to steal a bicycle.

The man can be seen setting fire to an American flag near the church, and walking toward a statue of Christ outside the view of the camera.

The statue and a crucifix were found damaged the following morning. "The face of Jesus was on the ground—in the dirt," Monsignor David Cassato, the pastor of St. Athanasius recalled Saturday.
A Brooklyn man facing federal arson charges for trying to set fire to a yeshiva is also connected to vandalism at a Catholic church and two assaults in the borough, according to officials.

Alaheri is also connected to an assault on a Hasidic man just blocks from the yeshiva and on a Black man in the subway a few weeks earlier, documents show.

Alaheri has been charged with arson and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted, officials said.

He was initially charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime for the vandalism at the church, though, according to the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, the Brooklyn District Attorney is not pursuing charges against him.

Africa North
Tunisia 'rescues' 100 Europe-bound migrants at sea
[AlAhram] All the migrants colonists were from sub-Saharan African nations, the ministry said

A Tunisian naval boat on Monday rescued 100 migrants colonists, including eight infants, from an inflatable vessel that was attempting an illicit Mediterranean crossing to Europe, the defence ministry said.

The vessel had set off "at dawn from the Libyan coast (carrying) 82 men, 10 women and eight babies", but it was intercepted by a Tunisian navy patrol boat off Zarzis, the ministry said in a statement.

"They were in danger, the engine on the boat had broken down," ministry front man Mohammed Zekri told AFP.

Those on board were taken to a Tunisian maritime base at Sfax.

Tunisia is a key departure point for migrants colonists attempting the dangerous crossing from the North African coast to Europe.

Italian Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese said last week a hotline would be established between Rome and Tunis to counter irregular migration, amid a spike in arrivals at Italia's Lampedusa island.

Mozambique: Defence Forces Re-Occupy Diaca and Namacunde
[All Africa] The Mozambican defence and security forces, early on Friday morning, occupied the Diaca administrative post in Mocimboa da Praia district, in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, driving out islamist terrorists, who had been using Diaca as a training camp.

According to a report in Monday's issue of the independent newssheet "Mediafax", on Sunday the Mozambican forces also retook Namacunde, the capital of Muidumbe district.

Namacunde has changed hands three times in the past six months. The jihadists occupied and vandalised the small town in early November 2020. The defence and security forces drove them out some weeks later. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
those units of the defence forces were needed elsewhere, and so they left Namacunde. The turbans returned, but on Sunday were driven out again.

On Saturday President Filipe Nyusi himself revealed that turbans had been defeated in an attempt to capture the Olumbe administrative post, in Palma district. Speaking in Maputo at the opening session of a meeting of the Central Committee of the ruling Frelimo Party, he said there had been a dispute among the turbans which left five of their number dead.

Meanwhile survivors of the raid against Palma town on 24 March are continuing to flee into the neighbouring district of Nangade. According to "Mediafax", these survivors say there are still many people hiding in villages on the boundary between Palma and Nangade districts, but who eventually make their way to Nangade town.

In a local refugee centre, about 300 people are being assisted by the Nangade authorities and by the NGO "Medecins sans Frontieres" ("Doctors without borders"). The displaced people are regularly receiving food and other necessities. Some of them have left the centre and are renting houses in Nangade.

Fifth Column
Gunshots mar anniversary observance in George Floyd Square
[HotAir] The headline is a quote from Associated Press reporter Philip Crowther, who understandably worried where dozens of shots came from — and where they were going to as well. The journalist happened to be recording a video segment on today’s anniversary of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, using what’s now known as George Floyd Square as a backdrop. The shots rang out just as Crowther started to make a point about police reform efforts in Congress:
Really, it's not funny. But it's so hard not to laugh...
“We’re okay, we’re okay,” a voice reassures Crowther, but not necessarily by much.
"Incoming! Incoming!"
The shooting actually took place one block over from Floyd Square, apparently still within the unofficial “autonomous zone” where police usually are reluctant to tread:

To honor a Wakandan shahid who died of a combined fentanyl and meth overdose, while resisting a lawful arrest, after he stuffed his mouth full of more fentanyl to bring on a seizure.

Who was a lifelong violent felon who jabbed his gun into the belly of a pregnant ant woman and threatened to blow her and her baby to smithereens if she didn't feed his drug habit.

Is there a better, I mean, more disgusting, despicable, depressing symbol of this nation's rapid descent into third-world status than this quasi-Palestinian frenzy over a world-class douchebag?

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Gantz orders seizure of chemicals, equipment, gold intended for Hamas
[IsraelTimes] Defense Minister Benny Gantz orders the confiscation of shipments of materials and equipment to 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 Hamaswith 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...
that the IDF suspects is intended for Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,’s military efforts.

In the days that preceded the latest round of fighting that began May 10, inspectors at the Kerem Shalom border crossing nabbed shipments of potassium chloride, glycerin, polyurethane, fiberglass and other materials, as well as sophisticated communications equipment, the Ynet news site reports.

Gantz also orders the confiscation of an estimated million shekels ($310,000) worth of gold the IDF caught being smuggled from Gaza to the West Bank, which officials say was intended to fund Hamas operations and terror attacks in the West Bank.

Israeli police launch wave of arrests targeting Palestinian citizens of Israel who rallied in support of SheikhJarrah, AlAqsa, and Gaza
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

In a statement on Sunday night, Israeli police said some 1,550 people have already been arrested since May 9 and the campaign is a "continuation" that aims to "prosecute" demonstrators who have over the past two weeks taken to the streets in towns and cities across Israel.

Thousands of security forces from "all units" will be deployed to carry out raids, it said, in towns and cities predominantly inhabited by Paleostinian citizens of Israel Arab Israelis, who make up about 20 percent of the country’s population.

Hassan Jabareen, the general director of Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, declared the campaign a "war" against Paleostinian Arab Israeli demonstrators, political activists and minors.

To date, 140 indictments have been brought against 230 people, the majority of whom are Paleostinians Arab Israelis, including minors, local media reported. They have been charged with assaulting coppers, endangering the lives of citizens in the streets, demonstrating, throwing stones and arson.

More than 500 Paleostinian Arab Israeli homes are expected to be raided in the next 48 hours, said Majd Kayyal, a Haifa-based activist, citing Israeli police and media reports.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syria Blames Israel for Mysterious Attacks on Oil Tankers
[AnNahar] Syria's foreign minister blamed Israel for mysterious attacks over more than a year targeting oil tankers heading to Syria, saying they violate international law and will not go unpunished.
They have this far, like the attacks on Iranian weapons depots in Syria. Has something changed?
Faisal Mekdad
...... Syrian foreign minister, formerly Perrmanent envoy to the UN. He replaced Wally Muallem, who died in office at age 79, having been FM since approximately age 12 .....
told Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
-based al-Mayadeen TV in an interview aired late Sunday that oil tankers coming to Syria now move under Russian protection. He did not provide any evidence for how Israel was behind the attacks.
Syria complaining about International Law violations? Cheeky
Syria's oil resources are mostly outside of government controlled areas but two of its refineries are operating. This makes Syria reliant on 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 Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
for fuel.

U.S. Treasury sanctions have targeted a network that spans Syria, Iran and Russia responsible for shipping oil to the Syrian government, which has been at war for more than a decade.

For more than a year, vessels carrying oil to Syria, as well as some oil facilities in government-held parts of the war-torn country, have been subjected to mysterious attacks.

Vessels carrying oil to Syria travel from the Gulf to the Red Sea to the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal.

"There should be deterrence to Israeli attacks on ships," Mekdad said without going into details. "The Israeli government and arrogant Israeli leaders must understand that these attacks cannot continue with Israel not paying a price."

Last month, Syria's oil ministry said a fire erupted in a tanker on its coast after what it said was a suspected drone attack.

Also in April, an attack targeted an Iranian fat merchantman that is said to serve as a floating base for Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard forces off the coast of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
A shadow war in Mideast waters emerged in 2019, when the U.S. Navy blamed a series of blasts in June that year in the Gulf of Oman off the coast of the United Arab Emirates on Iran.

SDF finds weapon depot in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
[NPASYRIA] On Monday, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) found a weapon depot of ISIS in an underground tunnel in a town east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

A military sources of the SDF from the town of Daranj, 70 km east of Deir ez-Zor told North Press that a military engineering division raided a weapon warehouse where it found a set of weapons, following investigating and collecting intelligence information.

The depot included more than 30 shoulder-loaded BGM-71 TOW rockets and more than 8 IEDs with dozens of grenades and home-made mines.

The source indicated that ISIS had hidden these weapons to prevent them from being damaged and to use them later.

Two months ago, ISIS targeted a military vehicle of the SDF with a BGM-71 TOW rocket in the town of Dhiban, 55 km east of Deir ez-Zor, according to the source.

ISIS was trying to keep this type of weapons, as it had planned to revive itself in the regions of northeast Syria, before its elimination in March 2019.

The operation to find the hideout of BGM-71 TOW missiles comes as part of the continuous efforts of combating terrorism and its sleeper cells "which are trying to hit the security of the region and reorganize its ranks."

The eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor is considered the last stronghold of ISIS, where it had moved all its equipment and weapons there.

Three months ago, the SDF found a depot for heavy military ammunition in the desert of al-Rawda, 100 km west of Omar oil field, east of Deir ez-Zor.
