Hundreds of French Jews Immigrate To Israel During Gaza Offensive

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/18/jews-immigrate-israel_n_5600211.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl2%7Csec3_lnk4%26pLid%3D504128


Undeterred by the relentless rounds of cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hamas, hundreds of French Jewish immigrants gleefully accepted their Israeli identity cards at a ceremony here on Thursday afternoon.

"I came because of anti-Semitism,” said teary-eyed Veronique Rivka Buzaglo, one of 430 immigrants who arrived from France the day before. "You see it in the eyes of people. I see it in everything," she continued in broken Hebrew, referring to the rising anti-Semitism in her home country.

As a proud, self-identified Zionist, Buzaglo says nothing would have stopped her from becoming an Israeli citizen this week -- not even the rocket sirens frequently blaring in the south of the country, where she plans to live.

Since the conflict began on July 8, Hamas has fired more than a thousand rockets into Israel, and Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip with land, air and sea strikes. On Thursday, Israel ramped up its military efforts and launched a major ground offensive in Gaza with thousands of troops. More than 260 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of them civilians, while there have been two Israeli fatalities, one solider and one civilian.

Sweden to battle female genital mutilation with online course

Source: RT

The Swedish government hopes to fight the rise of female genital mutilation in the country with a nationwide online training course for school and healthcare personnel.

“The phenomenon is increasing in Sweden, due to increased immigration,” Vanja Berggren, associate professor of public health science told newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN), reported Sweden’s The Local. “It's important that all agencies are educated on the matter.”

Up to 60 cases of genital mutilation among elementary school girls have been discovered in Norrköping in eastern Sweden since March, local media reported last Friday. Among the cases, 28 girls were subjected to the most severe form of genital mutilation.

“When dealing with small children it is necessary to create a dialogue with the family, to inform them that cutting is illegal and that medical complications may arise,” Malin Ahrne, project leader of the assignment said.

I am against going back in Iraq.

I am against going back in Iraq but this ISIS group are some real scary people.
They do not seem like very nice people.

•All Muslims will be treated well, unless they are allied with oppressors or help criminals.
•Money taken from the government is now public. Whoever steals or loots faces amputations. Anyone who threatens or blackmails will face severe punishment (This section also quotes a verse from the Quran (Al-Ma'idah: 33) that says that criminals may be killed or crucified).
•Drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes are banned.
•Rival political or armed groups are not tolerated.
•Police and military officers can repent, but anyone who insists upon apostasy faces death.
•Sharia law is implemented.
•Graves and shrines are not allowed, and will be destroyed


Before anyone hits the alert, I repeat...I am against going into Iraq.

Looks Like Brian Schweitzer Just Messed Up His Chances of a Democratic Nomination

On Dianne Feinstein: "She was the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, 'I'm a nun,' when it comes to this spying!"


On Eric Cantor: "If you were just a regular person, you turned on the TV, and you saw Eric Cantor talking, I would say—and I'm fine with gay people, that's all right—but my gaydar is 60-70 percent. But he's not, I think, so I don't know. Again, I couldn't care less. I'm accepting."

Why the pukes are obscessed about Ben Ghazi

Ben Ghazi Just Wants His Old Life Back

?w=500


“Every day I’m explaining to my friends at the home that I’m fine, the news is not about me, but they all watch the Fox news all day you know,” explained Ben Ghazi. Mr. Ghazi lives in the Cherry Hill Retirement home, not far from his daughter in Wilmington where he spent most of his life. A dockyard worker, Vietnam veteran and outspoken democrat, Ben Ghazi proudly says that he voted for Obama in both elections. “I am really for Obama, so during the elections I even made signs and stickers, ‘Ben Ghazi Loves Obama!’ No one would wear them!”

I think they spotted Cantor at Va unemployment office this AM.

Apparently he didn't sleep to well.

And no, there's no truth to having a suicide watch....yet.
