UK police maintain disastrous job in fighting against cannabis marketing

Well okay, any bad drug at that. Melanie Phillips reported a few weeks ago that they don't even want to deal with the traffikers and users who're passing around cannabis crud, even when the government returns it from class C to class B status. Wow, some way to protect people from ruining themselves.

On the upside, I'm glad Melanie is calling cannabis by its real name, and not by the slang of "marijuana". Of course there are other slangs that can fit it well, such as "pot" and "grass" but "marijuana" is decidedly not a suitable one.

Unsafe to fly through Heathrow airport

Guess who the new employee is at London's main airport? (via Dhimmi Watch.)
An Afghan hijacker who forced an airliner to fly to Britain is now working at Heathrow, it has been disclosed.

Nazamuddin Mohammidy
, 34, was one of a gang of nine that threatened to blow up an internal flight in Afghanistan, along with 173 passengers and crew, unless they were granted political asylum.

The Afghan hijackers forced the Boeing 727 to divert to Britain where they surrendered to police and the SAS after a 70-hour stand-off at Stansted Airport, Essex in February 2000.

Mohammidy, of Hounslow, Middlesex, is now working as an office cleaner for British Airways.

The discovery came after he was stopped and searched by officers from the Metropolitan Police under the Terrorism Act near Heathrow’s Terminal 5 on Tuesday where he gave his surname as Mohamed.

Mohammidy appeared in custody before Uxbridge magistrates the following day under the name Mohammady accused of being in breach of bail after being charged with assault and criminal damage in December last year. He does not face any charges under the Terrorism Act.
And while he may be appearing before a magistrates court today, I wouldn't be surprised if they do nothing to change that. Geez, they really did give him asylum.

The great exaggerations of the doomsayers

Barry Rubin talks about how the wishes of those who'd wish for Israel to perish are greatly exaggerated, and how they only end up hurting the Arabs they supposedly support too.

British priests being attacked by Muslim thugs

I figured that the violence against Jews in England would eventually seep over to Christians as well, and indeed it did last March. Now, it's happened again, only this time the victim is foolishly trying to downplay the religious aspectss involved which'll only make it harder to deal with these type of crimes (also via Jihad/Dhimmi Watch):
A SECOND priest has been beaten up in his own churchyard in the space of just eight weeks in London’s East End — this time over an argument about a football.

The Rector of St Matthew’s in Bethnal Green, The Rev Kevin Scully, was attacked on Tuesday afternoon by three drunken youths who had returned to take their revenge for a row three days before.
I think this may be another way the British media themselves are trying to cover up what really took place, though it may be the victim's claim as well?
He had taken their ball last Saturday after he saw them using a cross on the church as a basketball hoop.

He has been taunted with religious and racist abuse in the past, but believes the beating was more alcohol-fuelled than anything more sinister.
Ah, now I see, the argument stems primarily from the victim, another sign of how badly damaged people's minds are in the UK.
The attack follows the vicious assault on Canon Michael Ainsworth at St George-in-the-East church in Shadwell in March.

But although that attack was treated as a ‘faith hate’ crime, police consider the latest incident as simple assault.

Fr Scully, 45, who was left with two black eyes, cuts and bruises, told the Advertiser: “I’m still a bit shaken up.

“It came out of an incident where some teenagers were using the front of the church as a basketball hoop.

“I took their ball and told them to leave—but they came back on Tuesday, drunk, to demand their ball back and attacked me.”

He recalled: “One of them was instigating the violence.

“I thought the other two were going to stop it, but in the end they joined in.

“Even a passer-by who saw what was going on and tried to intervene got a kicking too.

“I was punched twice in the face, hard, hit again, and kicked from behind.

“I crouched down to ward off the blows before running to the Rectory and calling police.”

Fr Scully added: “My biggest concern was getting the door locked as I thought they might follow me inside.

“But they ran off and I’ve not seen them round here since.”

He branded them “drunken yobs” and said the area suffered anti-social and criminal behaviour.

Mr Scully, however, insists it was not a ‘policing’ problem, but a ‘community’ problem.

“These are someone’s sons, someone’s brothers,” he said. “These people are known in the community.”

“There is a certain racial and religious element to this,” adds.

“I have been and was taunted religiously — and that is a worrying aspect of it.

“But I would not make that a ‘flag of convenience.’

“These are drunken yobs and that is the shame of it.

“They could probably have a very bright future ahead of them if they only did something about it.”...
If he's downplaying the religious aspects, less is likely to be done about it. Yet this isn't surprisingly coming from England.

12Tribe Films wishes Israel a happy 60th

For Israel's 60th anniversary, the 12Tribe Films site and blog is wishing a happy birthday for the state with the following video:

Here's also a press release they've got:
LEARNING TORAH ON SHAVUOT NIGHT FOR SDEROT

Introducing the Shavuot Mishnathon for Sderot

With the holiday of Shavuot approaching, and people preparing to stay up to learn Torah on Shavuot evening, 12Tribe Films Foundation (www.12tribefilms.org) and the Sderot Hesder Yeshiva (www.sderot.org) are introducing the "Shavuot Mishnathon" - where people can learn Torah to support the people of Sderot.

This year young and old, schools and communities can all join together and pledge to learn a number of mishnayot on Shavuot night while seeking sponsorships from family and friends. The Shavout Mishnathon allows all to learn together and help an institution that is helping the people of Sderot. All proceeds go directly to the Sderot Hesder Yeshiva.

See the video on the Yeshiva here - http://12tribefilms.org/mishnathonforsderot

The situation in Sderot remains unsettling with rockets falling on the community on a daily basis. Despite the situation, the Sderot Hesder Yeshiva has continued to flourish with over 500 students and has become a pillar in the community, reaching out to those in need, from all walks of life, during these difficult times.

Now the Yeshiva is embarking on a major campaign to construct new "kassam proof" dormitories on campus. These units are in immediate need, as the students were forced off campus and into temporary housing since their dormitories were deemed unsafe from rocket attacks.

The Shavuot Mishnathon allows all to learn together and help an institution that is helping the people of Sderot.

Students or community members can all take part in the Shavuot Mishnathon.

All individuals or institutions interested in joining should send an email to avi@12tribefilms.org to request the Mishnathon program packet with all the materials needed to run and take part in the Mishnathon.

This year Jews worldwide can all connect on the Shavuot holiday by learning Torah and supporting our fellow Jews in Sderot.

All questions or inquiries can be sent to avi@12tribefilms.org

CFP contributor was held captive by mosque gang in Brooklyn

A most disturbing thing happened in Brooklyn, according to a writer for the Canadian Free Press who was held captive by enforcment goons for a Mosque in a Muslim neighborhood (via Michelle Malkin).

Now, if this did happen, then the NYPD are going to have to be frowned upon for letting these sort of things go on without taking action against the offenders. I'd suggest that NY citizens who shocked at this turn to the police to inquire about it and demand that it be investigated and dealt with properly.

FBI agent who spied for Hezbollah gets no jail time, thanks to Carter-appointed judge

Her sister didn't get any either. Just fines of $750. It seems as though the trick being used by offenders like these is to simply plead guilty. Nada Prouty, the agent who spied for Hezbollah, has gotten off thanks to a judge who was apparently appointed by Jimmy Carter, which shows how his disastrous steps as president are still having serious ramifications and repercussions. And all she has to do is pay a fine that's less than what the mortgage could cost.

People who are as rightfully outraged as me and various other folks at Hot Air and Michelle Malkin's blog should contact the Justice Department to appeal this case. This shouldn't be allowed to just pass by without public comment.

As Dubya visits, Islamic Jihad fires more rockets

As I said there, that's what happened:
JERUSALEM - A rocket fired from Gaza exploded in a shopping center in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Wednesday, wounding at least 14 people, rescue officials said.

At least two women and one girl were seriously wounded and several other people were slightly hurt, said Leah Malul, an official at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon.

The Magen David Adom rescue service said 14 people were wounded — three seriously — and all the casualties had been evacuated from the site of the attack.

Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement on its Web site.

Witnesses told Israeli radio stations that the rocket caused considerable damage and rescue service director Eli Bean said at least two people had been trapped under the rubble. The two were rescued and taken to hospital, Army Radio reported.

Army Radio said the rocket hit the third floor of the Hutzot mall. The report said a clinic takes up part of the floor.

The rocket attack came as President Bush wrapped up talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The Israeli leader said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza militants.

Two people have been killed in recent days in attacks by Palestinian militants on Israeli communities outside Gaza.

The homemade rockets militants usually fire at Israel do not have enough range to reach Ashkelon. Militants use longer-range rockets to hit the city of 100,000, 9 miles from the Gaza-Israel border.
Doesn't this signal that they've been able to smuggle in more advanced rockets in the past year? There is every chance they have worse weapons now.

Note also the predictable use of the word "militants" instead of terrorists by the AP, which is atrocious as usual.

Police raid City Hall for more evidence in Olmert's case

Just today, the police paid a visit to Jerusalem's municipality:
Detectives from the National Fraud Unit raided the Jerusalem City Hall with a search warrant on Monday afternoon, seeking documents dating back to Olmert's two terms as mayor of the capital from 1993 to 2003, during which he is suspected of illegally receiving funds from New York financer Morris Talansky.

"The search is linked to the time that Olmert worked in the municipality, and to suspicions of receiving the funds," Israel Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed.

A City Hall representative said he saw two police officers enter the building, but could not confirm seeing them leave with any documents or computers.

Meanwhile, Talansky was interrogated again at the National Fraud Unit's Bat Yam headquarters on Monday evening.

Talansky emerged from the backdoor of the police station after a long questioning session, saying "here we go" as he encountered several photographers and journalists.
He refused to comment on the investigation, occasionally flashing a smile as he entered a car, and was driven away from the police station.

In an interview aired on Sunday night on channel 10, he denied bribing the prime minister, saying the hundreds of thousands of dollars he provided Olmert were meant as campaign contribution funds.

"I never thought in any way that the money that I gave him - it was for the purpose of his becoming mayor or electioneering - was in any way illegal or wrong. He was not the only one who came to America to ask for money for the election campaign, and so I thought it was legal," Talansky said.

Earlier on Monday, the former chief investigator into corruption at the State Comptroller's office, Cmdr. (ret.) Yaakov Borovsky, said he thought the ongoing criminal investigation into Olmert will conclude with an indictment.

Olmert has committed himself to resigning should he be served with an indictment during a televised address to the nation last week.

Borovsky dismissed the idea that the investigation into Olmert was based only on illegal receipt of money, saying the far more serious charge of bribery was the focus of National Fraud Unit investigators.

He added that between 2003 and 2005, when police suspect that Olmert continued to receive money from Talansky, no elections were held, and suggested that the funds could not be solely meant to finance elections campaigns.
I wouldn't be surprised if Olmert had more than a few other shady dealings and rackets he was conducting behind the scenes.

Obama knew it all

The Weekly Standard (via LGF) writes about a newsmagazine that Jeremiah Wright published, that shows that Obama knew more than a bit about what Wright was up to:
To the question of the moment—What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?—I answer, Obama knew everything, and he’s known it for ages. Far from succumbing to surprise and shock after Jeremiah Wright’s disastrous performance at the National Press Club, Barack Obama must have long been aware of his pastor’s political radicalism. A careful reading of nearly a year’s worth of Trumpet Newsmagazine, Wright’s glossy national “lifestyle magazine for the socially conscious,” makes it next to impossible to conclude otherwise.
On a side note, I'd figure that even a tuba would be more appealing than the nasty newspaper Wright was publishing.

Iraqi savage who murdered daughter is as abominable as can be

The Observer (via Hot Air Headlines) conducted an interview with the filthy Muslim father who murdered his daughter in Iraq for falling in love with a British soldier. If you read the first paragraph after the article's author credits, you'll see that he is one repugnant monster, and the worst part is that he had police backing his actions.

Update: and while we're on the subject, another Islamic family murder has taken place in Jordan, and I don't think I should have to tell you just how abominable this is too (via LGF).
