President Donald Trump cited the dubious story after a terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain.

(…)

Oukabir was born in Morocco in 1989, police sources have told OkDiaro in Spain.

But a Facebook page with Oukabir‘s name – which has since been deleted – identifies him as being from Marseille and living in Ripoll in Catalonia.

His wall has been flooded with angry messages following the attack. On Tuesday he uploaded a picture of himself relaxing on a beach, although the location is not immediately clear.

Police are understood to have made an arrest following the attack, but the suspect has not yet been identified.

(12.12.2016) All signs point to leaking, not hacking. If hacking were involved, the National Security Agency would know it – and know both sender and recipient.

In short, since leaking requires physically removing data – on a thumb drive, for example – the only way such data can be copied and removed, with no electronic trace of what has left the server, is via a physical storage device.

(17.1.2017) More than 20 U.S. intelligence, military and diplomatic veterans are calling on President Obama to release the evidence backing up allegations that Russia aided the Trump campaign – or admit that the proof is lacking.

In 2003, when a number of former intelligence professionals formed a group to protest the way intelligence was bent to accuse Iraq of producing weapons of mass destruction, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote a sympathetic column quoting the group‘s members. In 2017, you won‘t read about this same group‘s latest campaign in the big U.S. newspapers.

The Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) have been investigating the now conventional wisdom that last year‘s leaks of Democratic National Committee files were the result of Russian hacks. What they found instead is evidence to the contrary.

Even lefty Seymour Hersh agrees that the Russian fable begin in the mind of Obama’s CIA director.

Bei der Feier sollen die Soldaten eine junge Frau eingeladen haben, die als „Hauptpreis“ mit dem scheidenden Kompaniechef einvernehmlichen Sex haben sollte. Der Sprecher des Heeres bestätigte gegenüber ZEIT ONLINE die Anwesenheit einer Frau, „die zum Escort-Service gehören soll“. Laut dem Sprecher liegen jedoch „keine Erkenntnisse über sexuelle Handlungen“ vor.

Die Frau hatte nach der Feier verschiedenen Journalisten von Soldaten berichtet, die den Hitlergruß zeigten und Rechtsrock hörten.

Haftar bietet sich als wichtigster Garant des Rückgangs des Flüchtlingsstroms nach Europa an. Ihm zufolge sind seine Truppen bereit, die libysche Grenze auf einer Länge von 4000 Kilometern zu sperren, wobei der Bau von Militärlagern mit Garnisonen vorgesehen ist. Für diese Ziele bittet Haftar die EU um 20 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Since the 2011 revolution, Libya has been the site of a rather nasty proxy war. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other traditional Gulf states have backed the eastern-based government and Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA). Seeking a more Islamist order in Libya, Qatar and Turkey backed the Muslim Brotherhood, and more recently, the Tripoli-based General National Congress (GNC).

(13.8.2017)

We are journalists who wish to express our concern at the defamation suit against our colleague David Sheen. He is being sued by a leading Israeli general, Israel Ziv.

Sheen is a respected reporter and analyst, one with a deep knowledge of Israeli society, who regularly investigates issues related to racism and human rights abuses.

Over the years, a number of investigations by the Israeli media have tied Ziv to some of the world’s ugliest regimes.

Sheen’s comments about Ziv were provoked by the latest such investigation, carried out late last year by Israel’s Channel 2 TV. It published transcripts of conversations between Ziv and his business associates in which they discussed rehabilitating the reputation of Salva Kiir Mayardit, the president of South Sudan.

This was after the United Nations revealed that Salva Kiir had permitted soldiers under his command to rape women and children on a mass scale. Ziv and his team proposed exploiting a rape victim by bringing her to the UN General Assembly so that Salva Kiir could blame such war crimes on indigenous African tribal culture.

Despite being offered the chance on both Ch2 and Army Radio to deny the accuracy of the transcripts, Ziv declined to do so.

(3.8.2017)

(3.1.2017) Israel Ziv, security consultant.

Israel Ziv’s prior career as an officer in the Israeli military ended just before African refugees began arriving to the country in large numbers a decade ago. But since that time, Ziv has parlayed his army career into a successful business in the private sector with the security consulting firm Global CST.

In that capacity, Ziv has provided services to Salva Kiir Mayardit, president of South Sudan. Kiir is responsible for horrific crimes against his own citizens.

Earlier this month, an Israel Channel 2 video report revealed that Ziv had advised Kiir in an effort to rehabilitate his international reputation. Kiir has come into disrepute for allowing his soldiers to rape women and young girls, in lieu of salary payment, and to castrate and kill young boys.

Israel is a significant supplier of weapons to South Sudan.

According to the Channel 2 report, Ziv hired Ron Prosor, a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, as part of his work. One idea considered was that Kiir would make a speech at the UN, flanked by a woman who had been raped by soldiers from South Sudan.

Is it inherently racist of Ziv to want to profit from whitewashing a criminal despot like Kiir? Or did Ziv only take advantage of a global white supremacist system where Black lives matter so little that their mass rapes and castrations can be covered up, guilt free?

Either way, Ziv’s conduct was deplorable.

(12.11.2014) „Die Linke“ repräsentiert ungefähr so etwas wie den handzahmsten, devotesten Hauspagen jedweder Lobby von Krieg und / oder allgemeinem Blutvergießen den man sich nur wünschen kann, wenn man denn einen braucht. Weichet von mir, oh Fetisch des Grauens, oh Deppen der Republik, ihr Witzfiguren par Excellence, ihr Untertanen-Blaupausen des politischen Kopfstands bei gleichzeitigem Daumen „hoch“. Von Tel Aviv bis New York höre ich sie wiehern. Oh was für eine Schande…

This isn’t the first time Spencer has tried to wink at Israel. Last December, he told Haaretz that he “respects Israel” and that he would “respect” the decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

n an August 2010 article called “An Alliance with the Jews,” published on his Radix Journal website, Spencer argued that Israel could become an ally of white nationalists in the United States. He wrote that in the face of the threat of nuclear weapons in countries hostile to Israel, there would be “hard-liners” in Israel who would prefer to see the extreme right in the White House.

Barak said certain events that have taken place in Israel are like what happened in Charlottesville.

„You can‘t say you don‘t see things here that have a similar smell or bear a certain similarity ‒ when you look at the Lehava demonstrations or the La Familia activity, or the ranting against the chief of staff or journalists and the threat to the lives of journalists covering Netanyahu‘s investigations, or to their family members,“ Barak said.

Sam Dastyari, an opposition senator and an Iranian-born Muslim, said: “We have seen the stunt of all stunts in this chamber by Sen. Hanson.”

“The close to 500,000 Muslim Australians do not deserve to be targeted, do not deserve to be marginalized, do not deserve to be ridiculed, do not deserve to have their faith made some political point by the desperate leader of a desperate political party,” Dastyari said.

Senate President Stephen Parry said Hanson’s identity had been confirmed before she entered the chamber. He also said he would not dictate the standards of dress for the chamber.

Der indischen Seite zufolge waren die chinesischen Soldaten etwa fünf Kilometer weit auf das indische Gebiet in Kaschmir vorgedrungen. Nach der Teilung Britisch-Indiens vor fast genau 70 Jahren wurde die Region aufgeteilt; sowohl Indien als auch Pakistan und China kontrollieren Teile davon.

Chinese state media has released a propaganda video that lambasts India over a border dispute, sparking accusations of racism.

The English-language clip, which accuses India of committing „sins“, features a Chinese actor in a turban, mockingly speaking in an Indian accent.
