Trump rally counter-sniper backs bombshell ‘evidence tampering’ claims by House GOPers

Washington Regional SWAT counter-sniper Ben Shaffer said it was “absolutely” concerning that the roof of the AGR International building had been quickly scrubbed and gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks’ body disposed of before an official autopsy report could be released.

Five House Republicans — Reps. Andy Biggs and Eli Crane of Arizona, Matt Gaetz and Cory Mills of Florida, and Chip Roy of Texas — hosted the panel discussion with Shaffer and other witnesses at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Opinion: I’m an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn’t war — it was annihilation

I stopped keeping track of how many new orphans I had operated on. After surgery they would be filed somewhere in the hospital, I’m unsure of who will take care of them or how they will survive. On one occasion, a handful of children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head.

Pope condemns attacks on civilians in Gaza: ‘It is war; it is terrorism’

“Some say, ‘This is terrorism. This is war.’ Yes, it is war. It is terrorism,” he said. “That is why the Scripture affirms that ‘God stops wars… breaks the bow, splinters the spear’ (Psalm 46:10). Let us pray to the Lord for peace.”

Pope Francis also recalled people in various parts of the world who are suffering due to war.

“Let us not forget our brothers and sisters suffering from war, in Ukraine, in Palestine and Israel, and in other conflict zones,” he said. “May the approach of Christmas strengthen the commitment to open paths of peace.”

Pope speaks out after IDF sniper kills two women inside Gaza church, per Catholic authorities

Seven others were also shot and wounded in the attack at the complex, where most Gaza’s Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war, according to the patriarchate, which oversees Catholic Churches across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.

“No warning was given, no notification was provided,” the statement continued. “They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents.”

This morning Israeli snipers shot and killed my two family friends in an attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza. Nahida (Um Emad Anton) and Samar, mother and daughter, were walking to the Sisters’ Convent to use the only bathroom.

(14 hours ago)

One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety. Their bodies remain strewn across the church courtyard.

The water tanks and solar panels were also struck. We don’t know if they have enough water to survive.

The Christian community in Gaza is on the verge of extinction.

There are about 800 of us left, some sheltering in the Catholic church, some in the Orthodox church, and a few still in their homes in Gaza City.

There are approximately 530 Christians inside the Holy Family, 60 per cent are women and children.

My family has been sheltered there since St. Porphyrius Orthodox Church was bombed and my cousin was murdered.

This is a targeted death campaign during the Christmas season on the world’s oldest Christian community.

Earlier this morning, an Israeli tank fired on the Convent of the Sisters of Mother Theresa. The convent housed ~54 people with disabilities. The generator was destroyed, taking out electricity. Then two more shells were fired completely destroying the convent. Many of these people are now without the respirators they need to survive.

The Red Cross has submitted a request to the Pope for urgent intervention.

My mother texting with my sister, describing a horrific situation at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza. israeli tanks have surrounded the church, and snipers have taken position around it, shooting at the oldest Christian community in the world.

Tote bei Protesten: Irak sieht Schuld bei „bösartigen Händen“

Das irakische Innenministerium bestreitet, dass Sicherheitskräfte auf Demonstranten geschossen haben. Im Gegenteil, bekräftigte der Sprecher, Generalmajor Saad Maan, man habe alles getan, um für die Sicherheit der Menschen zu sorgen.

„Es gab keine Zusammenstöße oder Konfrontationen zwischen den Sicherheitskräften und den brüderlichen Protestlern“, so Maan. „Aber es gab bösartige Hände, die Menschen ins Visier nahmen, Angehörige der Sicherheitskräfte und Protestler gleichermaßen.“

Iraq authorities lift curfew as normalcy returns to streets of Baghdad

A number of protesters and security personnel have been killed as a result of the provocations.

On Friday, Iraqi police said in a statement that “unidentified snipers” killed two security forces and two civilians across the capital Baghdad earlier in the day.

Arab media outlets and observes have published reports revealing that the US seeks to drive recent anti-corruption protests in Iraq into chaos in a bid to install a pro-US regime.

The Protest Dispersed. Then an Israeli Sniper Shot a 9-year-old Palestinian Boy in the Head

Abd el-Rahman is wandering between the shelves of candy and the ice-cream freezer, trying to decide what to buy. A little boy in flip-flops, a T-shirt and sweatpants. That’s also how he looked to the IDF shooter, peering through his sophisticated optic sights, before squeezing the trigger.

Venezuela: US Regimewechsel ist im Gange!

Jede von den USA initiierte „Regime Change“-Operation muss Scharfschützen haben, die dem kritischen Zweck dienen, der Bevölkerung weißglühende Angst einzujagen und selbst die bisher Unbeweglichen zu mobilisieren. Und auf den Punkt gebracht, hat Venezuela seine Scharfschützen bekommen! „Maskierte Männer“, die zufällig Demonstranten erschießen. Natürlich wird die lokale Bevölkerung sie als verdeckte Sicherheitskräfte der Regierung betrachten, die auf unbewaffnete Unschuldige schießen, und beginnen, sich auf die Seite der Anti-Maduro-Kräfte zu stellen. Außer, dass es sich sehr wahrscheinlich entweder um bewaffnete Oppositionskräfte oder vielleicht sogar um Ausländer (lies: CIA) handelt, die zur Erfüllung dieser kritischen Aufgabe entsandt wurden.

Werden Scharfschützen der inszenierten „Maidan-Proteste“ von Bundeswehr nach Berlin ausgeflogen?

(12.3.2014) Zwölf der Angeschossenen sollen den Angaben nach auf Intensivstationen in Berlin, wahrscheinlich in der Charité, verteilt werden.
Die Bundeswehrkrankenhäuser in Ulm und Koblenz nehmen jeweils sechs Personen auf, die in isolierten „ungestörten Bereichen“ behandelt werden.
Dazu wird nach Zwischenstopp in Berlin der Airbus der Bundeswehr zunächst nach Köln und anschliessend nach Stuttgart fliegen. Von dort geht es mit Fahrzeug-Konvois auf der Strasse bis zum Zielort. In Ulm wird die Autokolonne gegen 20 Uhr erwartet.

Einem Jungen die Schuld an der Kugel des Scharfschützen geben, die ihn tötete

Nichts davon ist überraschend. Und wenn der Bildungsminister – dessen wichtigste Errungenschaft die Vertiefung des Militarismus in israelischen Schulen und der eklatante Versuch, jede Art von humanistischer Erziehung zu beseitigen – einen ermordeten 15-jährigen Jungen für seinen eigenen Tod verantwortlich macht, „weil er nicht in der Schule war“, spiegelt das Gefühl des Ekels einen neuen Tiefpunkt des Bösen wider, einen Galopp in die Tiefen der Unmoral.

We were Israeli snipers and are filled with sorrow at Gaza shootings

We, a group of former combatants who were members of sniper teams, seek to express our feelings of distress regarding the recent incidents in the Gaza Strip. As we hear about military orders permitting snipers to fire live ammunition at unarmed demonstrators, we are filled with shame and sorrow: shame at the orders devoid of moral and ethical judgment, and sorrow for the young soldiers, whom, as we know very well from our own experience, will always carry with them the scenes that they witnessed through the sights of their rifles.
