The establishment media would have covered for Hamas anyway, but perhaps the jihad group’s leaders were nonetheless aware that it might be tougher to demonize Israel among its own people, as well as on the world stage, while accepting Israeli humanitarian aid.
“Hamas turns away truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid destined for Gaza,” by Eytan Halon, Jerusalem Post, May 16, 2018 (thanks to Peter):
Hamas turned away two large truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid intended to relieve medical shortages in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
The IDF said it coordinated the transfer of eight truckloads of vital medical equipment through the Kerem Shalom crossing due to severe humanitarian conditions in the Hamas-controlled enclave, with hospitals struggling to treat Palestinians wounded in clashes on the Israel-Gaza border on Monday and Tuesday.
Hamas accepted four trucks of aid supplied by the Palestinian Authority and two trucks supplied by UNICEF. But two truckloads of medical aid provided by the IDF were turned away when the origin of the equipment became apparent.
In addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins, 20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000 disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages.
The transfer was facilitated by the IDF in coordination with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the Gaza District Coordination and Liaison office….
“We have seen some increases at the Greek/Turkish land borders,” acknowledged Avramopoulos, although he added that “I have an open number to ministers in Greece and Turkey… the situation is under control.”
Yeah, sure it is.
“We are against building fences, on the contrary, we are in favor of building bridges with neighboring countries.”
And they’re in favor of building bridges with you, Dimitris, bridges to Islam: “Such bridges are really just proselytizing mechanisms to convert them to Islam, not an attempt to engage in genuine dialogue: “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.” — Sayyid Qutb, Milestones, chapter 10.
“The EU will never be a fortress. Migration will stay not only in Europe and the world for the decades to come, and we have to be well prepared.”
Migration will stay not only in Europe but in the world at large? Is that what you’re trying to say, Dimitris? Where is the mass Christian migration into Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Indonesia? Mass migration seems to be almost exclusively that of Muslims into Europe and North America, some of whom have proven to be jihadis: all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In response to this, however, the EU will never become a fortress, which means that the EU will not survive.
“EU still seeking June deal on refugee plan, says bloc’s migration chief,” by Benjamin Fox, EURACTIV.com, May 16, 2018 (thanks to Peter):
The EU is still hoping to convince Hungary and Poland to sign up to an elusive agreement on migration and refugee resettlement, the bloc’s Migration commissioner said on Wednesday (16 May).
Dimitris Avramopoulos was speaking as he unveiled an overhaul of the Visa Information Service database containing information on people applying for Schengen visas….
Avramopoulos said he was “trying to convince the last remaining ones to join our comprehensive migration policy”, which he described as “the only pragmatic answer to a real problem we are confronted with.”
“There are three or four countries that have different ideas”, he added.
The Commission has earmarked €35 billion for border and migration control in its proposed seven-year budget framework covering 2021-2027, a near threefold increase on current spending….
The International Organisation for Migration data (IOM) reported that almost 19,000 people arrived in Europe between January and April this year compared to around 44,600 in 2017. Those figures compare with over 870,000 arrivals in 2015, at the height of the crisis.
However, almost 3,000 people entered Greece via the Turkish border last month, most of them coming from war-ravaged Syria and Iraq, marking a slight monthly increase.
“We have seen some increases at the Greek/Turkish land borders,” acknowledged Avramopoulos, although he added that “I have an open number to ministers in Greece and Turkey… the situation is under control.”…
“We are against building fences, on the contrary, we are in favour of building bridges with neighbouring countries,” he said.
“The EU will never be a fortress. Migration will stay not only in Europe and the world for the decades to come, and we have to be well prepared. No country can manage this situation alone.”

JIHADI CULT MEMBER RUNNING FOR CONGRESS AS DEMOCRAT FROM ALASKA
“The group that Greg Jones belongs to is led by a terror-linked cleric in Pakistan named Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani….The group has been continually under investigation because of its criminal and terrorist activity since the 1970s, including a raid on its guerilla training camp in Colorado in 1992. In October 2017, a letter from the Justice Department to the Clarion Projectconfirmed that an investigation into Jones’ group is ongoing. And newly-declassified FBI reports from 2009 to 2011 show that FBI offices still view MOA as an extremist threat.”
It sounds as if Greg Jones will fit right in with the Democrats in Congress.
“Jihadi Cult Member Files to Run for Congress,” by Ryan Mauro, Clarion Project, May 16, 2018 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
A member of Muslims of the Americas (MOA), an Islamist hate group that cultishly follows a jihadist cleric in Pakistan, is running for Congress in Alaska. He is the second member of MOA to announce a congressional run this year, following Tahirah Amatul-Wadud in Massachusetts.
In 2016, Gregory “Shoaib” Jones was a delegate for Senator Bernie Sanders at the Democratic National Convention and ran for the Alaska state House in District 8. His deep involvement with MOA was exposed by the Clarion Project at the time, triggering a statewide controversy.
Now, Jones is running for Congress and styling himself as a progressive interfaith leader. If Jones wins the Democratic primary for the at-large congressional district, he will face Republican Rep. Don Young in the general election.
The group that Greg Jones belongs to is led by a terror-linked cleric in Pakistan named Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani. It claims to have 22 “Islamic villages” in America, including its “Islamberg” headquarters.
The group has been continually under investigation because of its criminal and terrorist activity since the 1970s, including a raid on its guerilla training camp in Colorado in 1992.
In October 2017, a letter from the Justice Department to the Clarion Projectconfirmed that an investigation into Jones’ group is ongoing. And newly-declassified FBI reports from 2009 to 2011 show that FBI offices still view MOA as an extremist threat.
The Clarion Project has an entire comprehensive website about the group and its state-by-state activity here.
Despite all of this documentation and Greg Jones’ admitted membership in MOA and trips to Pakistan, the media turned Anchorage Assemblywoman and radio host Amy Demboski into the state’s biggest villain when she merely mentioned the issue.
Demboski even had Jones on her radio show to tell his side of the story. On her show, he confirmed that he is a member of MOA. When asked whether he’s gone to Pakistan, he initially avoided answering and then admitted he had gone there and has met Sheikh Gilani. Jones further confirmed that Gilani continues to lead the group to which he belongs.
Jones said that Demboski had put him and his family in danger. He wrote an op-ed calling on her to “apologize or step down.” When Jones and his wife publicly confronted Demboski, they got a standing ovation in the assembly.
The Alaskan Democrats published a press release on December 7, 2016, titled, “Democrats Stand With Greg Jones.” State Party Chair Casey Steinau said she was “saddened and outraged” by the “anti-Muslim rhetoric” of Demboski.
The Alaska Democratic Party did not explain how MOA’s radical ideology is compatible with its progressive values.
“I was the focus of a robust public campaign to vilify my character and intimidate me to back down; I received threats against my person and property, as well as harassing phone calls. But in the end, like many Alaskans, I don’t back down when truth is on my side,” Demboski told the Clarion Project.
Demboski provided us with just a sampling of the harassment she experienced, though she emphasized she doesn’t consider herself to be a victim. The vile messages included numerous wishes for her to die, expressions of hate and graphic insults that cannot be repeated here. One pledged to burn American flags in front of her home.
Now, the issue is resurfacing, but this time, Demboski is vindicated by the Clarion Project’s release of documents from a FBI counter-terrorism investigation into MOA in Alaska from 2009 to 2010, with additional FBI reports from 2011.
The documents indicate that MOA figures in the state—perhaps including Greg Jones himself—were placed under surveillance.
“Jamaat ul-Fuqra currently goes by the name of Muslims of the Americas and denies Fuqra’s existence. It changed its name after being involved in a series of terrorist attacks and plots in the 1980s and early 1990s. The State Department included Fuqra in its annual terrorism reports until 2000, describing Fuqra as an ‘Islamic sect that seeks to purify Islam through violence.’”
Clarion’s report said: “It is best known for its ‘Islamberg’ headquarters in New York where guerrilla training of women has occurred. … It claims to have 22 ‘Islamic villages’ in 12 states. The report identified Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani as the “cult leader” who runs Jamaat al-Fuqra and MOA."
Islamic paramilitary camps have been set up in the United States and Canada to train African American Muslims in guerilla warfare. After months of training on firing ranges and obstacle courses, the black Muslims are sent to Pakistan where they receive advanced training in explosives. Many never return. Dr. Paul L. Williams breaks it down with Doug Hagmann.

North Korea threatened to pull out of next month’s summit with the United States over demands that it agree to immediate and unilateral denuclearization.
Twitter Ads info and privacyGwan pointed specifically to commentary from White House National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has repeatedly called for using a “Libya-style” denuclearization model for North Korea.
Gwan pointed specifically to commentary from White House National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has repeatedly called for using a “Libya-style” denuclearization model for North Korea. “High-ranking officials of the White House and the Department of State including Bolton, White House national security adviser, are letting loose the assertions of so-called Libya mode of nuclear abandonment,” Gwan said.
WH Nat’l Security Adviser John Bolton tells @MarthaRaddatz permanent, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization “has to happen before the benefits start to flow” to North Korea. “We want to see the denuclearization process so completely underway that it’s irreversible.”
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi voluntarily ended his country’s pursuit of nuclear weapons at the behest of the U.S. in 2003 in exchange for relief from economic sanctions – only to be later overthrown and killed by U.S.-backed insurgents in 2011.
When asked about the Libya nuclear deal during the U.S.-backed campaign in the country, Bolton, who even called for Gaddafi’s assassination at the time, suggested the deal was never meant to provide protection “in perpetuity.”
“Nobody at the time thought it was a get-out-of-jail-free card in perpetuity,” Bolton said.
North Korea pointed to the death of Gadaffi as proof of U.S. ill will and as yet another reason for needing a credible nuclear deterrent.
“It was fully exposed before the world that ‘Libya’s nuclear dismantlement,’ much touted by the U.S. in the past, turned out to be a mode of aggression whereby the latter coaxed the former with such sweet words as ‘guarantee of security’ and ‘improvement of relations’ to disarm itself and then swallowed it up by force,” North Korean media said in 2011.
Analysts have accused Bolton of proposing the Libya model in an attempt to derail the upcoming summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Bolton is no doubt already telling Trump ‘See, I told you so,'” arms control expert Kingston Reif argued on Twitter Tuesday. “Bolton knew exactly what he was doing in repeatedly setting the (wildly unrealistic) expectation for the summit at immediate, Libya-style denuclearization – in return for nothing until that is achieved.”
Bolton, who has long advocated for military action against North Korea, admitted in a March interview with Fox News that his support of the summit stemmed purely from his belief that it would ultimately fail.
Gwan further noted in his Wednesday statement that Libya’s nuclear program, which never produced a nuclear weapon, is not comparable to North Korea’s.
“World knows too well that our country is neither Libya nor Iraq which have met miserable fate. It is absolutely absurd to dare compare the DPRK, a nuclear weapon state, to Libya which had been at the initial stage of nuclear development,” Gwan wrote. “We shed light on the quality of Bolton already in the past, and we do not hide our feeling of repugnance towards him.”
North Korea, which has never publicly stated an intention to hand over its nuclear weapons, continued to stand by its original proposal: the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, meaning, at minimum, the removal of South Korea from the U.S. nuclear umbrella, once the U.S. hostile policy ends.
Gwan also stressed that North Korea’s latest actions, including its freeze on missile and nuclear weapons testing as well as the planned closure of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site, came not as the result of international sanctions but from Pyongyang’s completion of its nuclear force.
“[T]he U.S. is miscalculating the magnanimity and broad-minded initiatives of the DPRK as signs of weakness and trying to embellish and advertise as if these are the product of its sanctions and pressure,” Gwan said. “The U.S. is trumpeting as if it would offer economic compensation and benefit in case we abandon nuke. But we have never had any expectation of U.S. support in carrying out our economic construction and will not at all make such a deal in future, either.”
The statement closed with North Korea’s clearest explanation yet of its unwillingness to relinquish its nuclear weapons based on U.S. demands.
“If the Trump administration takes an approach to the DPRK-U.S. summit with sincerity for improved DPRK-U.S. relations, it will receive a deserved response from us,” Gwan said. “However, if the U.S. is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment, we will no longer be interested in such dialogue and cannot but reconsider our proceeding to the DPRK-U.S. summit.”
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded by stating the Trump administration remains hopeful that the summit, set for June 12 in Singapore, will still take place.
Sanders also attempted to distance Trump from Bolton’s comments when questioned by reporters, arguing she had no knowledge of the Libya model being used for North Korea.
“I haven’t seen that as part of any discussions, so I’m not aware that that’s a model that we’re using…” Sanders said. “This is the President Trump model. He’s going to run this the way he sees fit.” ___________________________________________________
