Four arrested after Rotterdam synagogue explosion: Ashah Al Yamin claims responsibility

Four young men, aged seventeen to nineteen, were arrested in Rotterdam after an explosive device detonated at a synagogue in the heart of the city. No one was injured, thank God, though the blast at around 3:40 a.m. left its mark on the building and, one suspects, on the nerves of every Jew in the Netherlands.

The terrorism suspects, all from Tilburg, were apprehended when police stopped a car prowling suspiciously near another synagogue. The driver's description matched one of the perpetrators from the earlier attack. One can only imagine the scene: young men in a vehicle, perhaps flushed with the adrenaline of what they had just done, now suddenly confronted by officers who had pieced it together with commendable speed.

A group calling itself Ashab Al Yamim, a hitherto unknown Shi'ite terror outfit, has claimed responsibility. 

This is no idle boast; the same shadowy organization has recently launched a series of assaults on Jewish institutions, including a bombing at a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, and another attack in Greece. One is tempted to ask: where do these groups spring from, fully formed, with videos and statements ready to hand out? While the name translates roughly as "Companions of the Right,"  their actions suggest something altogether darker: proxies, perhaps, in a wider campaign of intimidation that has escalated since the joint US-Israeli operations against Iran commenced in late February.

It is difficult not to see a pattern here. Jewish communities across the West find themselves under siege. 

Earlier this week, a synagogue in Michigan was rammed by a vehicle in an incident involving an active shooter. In Canada, several synagogues have endured targeted shootings over the past month. And now this in Rotterdam, arson by explosion, claimed by a new Shi'ite entity whose emergence coincides precisely with heightened tensions in the Middle East.

The police, to their credit, have increased surveillance at other synagogues throughout the city and launched an extensive investigation. [What can their motive possibly be?] 

Whether the four suspects intended further targets remains unconfirmed, but the question hangs in the air: how many more such plots are being hatched, even as we speak?

One cannot help but reflect on the broader malaise. Europe, once so proud of its post-war tolerance, now watches as its Jewish citizens, citizens who have every right to worship in peace, are forced to live behind heightened security, metal detectors, and armed guards. The euphemisms of "heightened concerns" and "increased surveillance" mask a grim reality: Jews are once again being hunted in the streets of European cities, this time under the banner of a resurgent ideological war exported from the Middle East.

As any great historian of totalitarianism might have observed, the first step toward barbarism is the normalization of targeting a particular group. 

We are well past the first step now. The question is whether the West still possesses the moral clarity, and the will, to confront it before the next explosion claims not just windows and doors, but lives.

Sardar Ammar: Iran's Plot-Twisting Bond Villain, Now Mossad's Most-Wanted Punchline

Sleeps with one eye open

Oh, Iran. Always auditioning for the role of Global Bad Guy in the never-ending spy thriller that's our world. They've been cooking up these half-baked murder schemes against Israelis and Jews like it's a twisted episode of Chopped, but with more keffiyehs and fewer decent knives. 

And Mossad are the guys who are the Gordon Ramsay of counterterrorism, spotting the flops from a mile away and shutting 'em down before dessert. But now, the curtain's pulled back on the greasy chef himself: Sardar Ammar, some big-shot commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Israel just slapped his mugshot on every wanted poster from here to Tehran. If you're scoring at home, that's code for "sleep with one eye open, buddy."

More about Ammar can be found here: "Mossad names 'Sardar Ammar' as architect of Iranian plots in Australia, Greece, and Germany," by Amichai Stein, Jerusalem Post, October 26, 2025:

Israel's Mossad on Sunday publicly identified a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) figure it says oversaw multiple foiled attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide in 2024–2025 and pointed to fresh diplomatic fallout, including Australia’s expulsion of Iran’s ambassador and Germany’s summoning of Tehran’s envoy. 

In a statement released via the Prime Minister's Office on behalf of the Mossad, the agency said it was "exposing for the first time" a network under Sardar Ammar, a senior IRGC commander operating under Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Quds Force, which it said directed attempts in Australia, Greece, and Germany. The Mossad described the modus operandi as "terror without Iranian fingerprints, high compartmentalization, recruitment of foreigners, use of criminals, and covert communications," adding that "thanks to intensive activity with partners in Israel and abroad, dozens of attack tracks were thwarted, saving many lives."The agency said Ammar’s mechanism "was directly responsible for the attempted attacks revealed in Greece, Australia, and Germany over the past year," alleging it sought to strike "Israeli and Jewish targets in Israel and abroad" but was repeatedly exposed, leading to "a wave of arrests."…

All those plots were epic fails, every one. 

Australia, Greece, Germany, pick a continent, Iran botched it. Mossad sniffed 'em out like a bloodhound on espresso, tipped off the locals, and boom: perps in cuffs faster than you can say "extradition treaty." Down Under, it got so bad Canberra basically told Iran's ambassador to pack his hummus and go home, severing ties like a bad blind date. Over in Germany, they hauled the Iranian envoy in for a stern "talk," you know, the kind where you get the hairy eyeball and a not-so-subtle "don't make us do this again." 

Oh, and that Danish stooge spying on Berlin's Jewish spots for the IRGC  is probably explaining himself to a very unamused judge right now.

For all his globe-trotting scheming, Sardar Ammar's hit rate is lower than whale poop. Zero successes. A big fat goose egg on the terror scoreboard. And now his name, face, and whole rap sheet are out there, courtesy of Mossad's "hey world, this guy's the problem" press release. After all that sneaky bull pucks, hiring lowlifes, ghosting communications like a flaky Tinder match, does anyone seriously think Israel's allow him a personal Netflix account and chill in some safe house forever? I doubt it. He's got a one-way ticket to the great plot twist in the sky. Or, as the ayatollahs might put it, "Allahu Akbar... wait, what was that shadow?" 

Tick-tock, Sardar. Your sequel's getting canceled.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.

Cuomo's 12th accuser included in state Assembly report to make it an even dozen

The New York state Assembly's report on ex-Gov. Andrew "Handy Andy" Cuomo (D) regarding sexual harassment will now include a 12th accuser. She claims the large nostrilled brother of CNN's Chris Cuomo, forcibly kissed her while touring her home damaged in a flood, and then sent her signed photos of his visit.

Will Andy make it a baker's dozen? We can only wait to find out.

The unwanted kiss recipient, Sherry Vill, 55, publicly accused Cuomo in March of “manhandling” her when he visited Greece, NY, just outside Rochester, in 2017 after the area was ravaged by floods.

According to the Morgan Quitno Awards, Greece was rated the ninth-overall-safest city in America and the sixth-safest city with a population of 75,000 to 99,999 except when it comes to sexual harassment.

The legislative investigation released Monday lists Vill, the married mother-of-three, for the first time as one of Cuomo’s accusers.

Vill was interviewed as part of the New York attorney general’s probe earlier this year, but her allegations were never detailed in "Governor Wannabe" Letitia James’ final report, which only listed 11 accusers. It isn't known whether Ms. James will try to look at his tweeting and Facebook histories.

The report states that Cuomo grabbed Vill's hand and laid a wet one on both cheeks without her consent when she was simply talking to the then-Governor at her most vulnerable moment in time, due to what the flood did to her home.

In spite of Vill apparently being White [we don't know how she identifies] this was a racist act that should bar Cuomo from ever running for public office for the rest of his life. 

Vill vilified Cuomo--she said he told her that she was beautiful as he came on to her outside her wet home before he grabbed her and made his signature move on her face, which she said made her "feel uncomfortable."

Not surprisingly, after Cuomo's visit, Vill said she got a phone call from a staff member in Cuomo's office inviting her to attend one of his future events for some reason or other. She said that nobody in her family or neighbors who had also met the sleaze bag during the flood tour got an invite from "the Kiss Whisperer," nor did they receive any photos from his office."

At the very least, one can say that Andrew Cuomo is a very stupid man who cannot manage to manage his libido.

When Vill first came forward with her allegations in March, she described the encounter as “so strange and inappropriate” — adding that it still made her nervous because of his power.

“I am still afraid of him, but I am no longer willing to remain silent,” she said at a press conference at the time.

It seems as if Andrew Cuomo is in trouble, but Vill he, or Vill he not suffer any consequences?

Greece extending its wall, sends more border guards amid fears of illegal influx from Afghanistan

While the U.S. has its arms open wide at our southern border and at airports where Afghan immigrants are being flown in, Greece is taking a different stance on illegal immigration and the lack of vetting of the clusterfrack of Afghans who are trying to get into their country--they are increasing their border guard numbers along its border with Turkey and have extended its wall to keep illegal aliens from entering without scrutiny.

It appears that Greece is treating illegal immigrants a lot like coronavirus infiltrators. 

Just because Greece has no idea of how many terrorists are hiding among the illegal immigrants, and just because Greece doesn't want illegal immigrants who will add a burdensome financial drain to an already damaged economy, and a substantial number of whom are COVID-19 positive, is no reason to prevent them from making the country go down the proverbial toilet of self-destruction.

Soon, some 250 officers will join the 1,500 border force along with an additional 800 extra border guards who will be hired to protect airports and regions close to the Greece-Turkey border.

In direct counterpoint to the United States, Greece has toughened its immigration policy and policing of their border. They have, in addition to extending the wall, installed a sophisticated high-tech surveillance network to deter asylum-seekers from sneaking into the country.

The increase in staffing comes on the heels of the Taliban victory in Afghanistan.

Greece, Poland, and Lithuania were among 12 countries that sent a letter to the European Commission last week to call for more extensive EU measures against illegal immigration.

Greece has denied mounting allegations from human rights groups that migrants caught after crossing into Greece are being deported without being allowed to claim asylum. It's almost as if Greece can smell bull crap better than Joe Biden who is too busy smelling hair.

Black artists want Whitney Museum to destroy work of white artist

Black artists are protesting a painting by a white artist, Dana Schutz of New York. They claim she is racially insensitive and they should know because they are black and she is white.

The work in question is titled "Open Casket" (2016) and is based on a famous photo from the funeral of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American child who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. 

Till was falsely accused of flirting with a white woman and the racists beat him and lynched him. 

The Schutz painting depicts the teen's body lying in an open coffin; his face is mutilated and his chest is turned toward the viewer. His mother requested an open coffin so that all could witness the horrible brutality of the racist attack of which he was a victim.

The painting is currently on display at the 2017 Whitney Biennial of Friday. Several black artists physically took turns standing in front of the artwork for several hours to block it from being viewed by the public.

One artist, Parker Bright, (whose surname is obviously an oxymoron) wore a t-shirt with the slogan "Black Death Spectacle" on the back and "No lynch mob" on the front.

"I wanted to confront people with a living, breathing black body," he told The Guardian. 

British-born Hannah Black penned an open letter to museum curators regarding the appropriation of black suffering by white artists as another example of systematic racial oppression. She not only wants the painting to be removed, she wants it "destroyed" and "prevented from entering any market of museum."

If you use the appropriation argument, then you would believe that Black's work and the work of other non-white individuals should not be allowed to be hung in museums if the medium is in acrylics. 

Acrylics were invented in 1934 by German chemical company BASF and patented by Otto Rohm and Otto Haas. Both Ottos were white.

If Hannah Black or any other non-white artist uses oil-based paint for their work, they are appropriating the invention of that medium from Flemish artist Jan van Eyck (1390 - 1441). They need to cease and desist.

Then there's the stone carvings that are so ancient, we can only trace them back to the Greeks, India, Egypt and most of Europe. Africa is not in the mix, so if you're black, you ought not to be working in stone.

"The subject matter is not Schutz's," Black posted on Facebook. "White free speech and white creative freedom have been founded on the constraint of others, and are not natural rights. The painting must go."

Now that's presumptuous of Hannah Black.

The subject medium did not originate in black culture. Acrylics, oils and stone as a medium for art have been used first by whites, Egyptians and Indians, not by Africans. 

But so what?

The argument I'm making is just as ridiculous as the argument that one culture cannot use another culture as their subject matter. Our country has become divided all too much and these black artists would only divide us more if we give in to their demand that we destroy another artist's work.

Personally, I don't feel responsible over what white racists have done in the past and making it a current issue only exacerbates the divide we face in this country. 

I feel angry and upset with racism and it's obvious that racism goes both ways.

Global warming or next ice age

Dear Al Jazeera Gore--I am having my doubts believing your balderdash about global warming. I base my doubts on the record-breaking cold weather, especially across the northern hemisphere where massive snowfalls and cold temperatures eastern and southeastern Europe, are burying Turkey in heavy snows and even gripping the United States and huge swaths of Russia in the grip of super-severe winter.

It makes me think you and all the "scientists" who talk about man-made climate change are full of something unpleasant and should go pound sand for a living.

Do you realize, Mr. Gore, that Moscow just celebrated the coldest orthodox Christmas in 125 years?

And what about the dozens of Europeans who have been frozen to death this year? How do you explain global warming to them? How do you say with a straight face to those people in Chanty-Mansijsk, Russia that -80༠F is proof of global warming, like the enormous snowfalls across Italy, Greece and the Balkans?

Back in 2002, your "scientist" buddies had a "consensus" warning us that soon, snow would become a rare event.

Like the Russians and the presidential election, it looks like God or nature has hacked into the climate.

It's a good thing your buddies amended the 'global warming' label to 'climate change.' 

Irony alert: Pravda TV (German language) warned of an impending ice age discussing an article by Yale scientist Wei Liu. He explained that if the ocean heat conveyor collapsed, then there would be "a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland."

Pravda said that CO2 has nothing to do with it. The influence of the sun is the dominant factor. With fewer sunspots weakening the earth's magnetic field, impact on the jet stream are decisive factors that can bring about an ice age in a short period of time.

What about that, Al?

Israel on fire--not an accident

Haifa, Israel -- Tens of thousands of Israelis are being evacuated from their homes as wildfires rage in various parts of Haifa, with a population of about 300,000. The fires are also threatening homes near Jerusalem and the West Bank.

One minister said that about half of the fires were "apparently arson," but this has not been confirmed by law enforcement.

No deaths or serious injuries have been reported but the national ambulance service say about 35 people have been treated for smoke inhalation as hundreds of military reservists have been activated to help fight the three-day outbreak.

Schools, kindergartens, retirement homes and the University were evacuated.

The Mayor of Haifa, Yonah Yahav told Channel 2 TV that there was some evidence that one of the fires began when "someone tossed a cigarette in an area full of oil and flammable fluids" in an industrial area.

Highway 443 linking Jerusalem and Tel Aviv was closed to morning traffic on Thursday after another fire reached the city of Modi'in.

About 300 students were evacuated from a school in a settlement known as Talmon, and homes and cars were damaged in the blaze.

Cyprus, Italy, Russia, Croatia and Greece have sent help and equipment, including aircraft, to help tackle the blazes.

Four Palestinians have been arrested and are to appear in court on suspicion of starting a bonfire 'negligently'.

"Almost 50% of the fires are apparently arson," Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Army Radio. 

Education Minister Naftali Bennett, the leader of the Jewish Home party, Tweeted (in Hebrew): "Only those to whom the country does not belong are capable of burning it."

The Arabic-language hashtag #Israel_on_fire began trending and most of the tweets expressed pleasure and satisfaction over the outbreak of fires.

Here's a question: if being Islamophobic in America is considered to be racist, why isn't being anti-Semitic also being racist?

Erdogan calls for return of military asylum-seekers in Greece

Turkish officials are calling for Greece to return 8 "treacherous officers" who are seeking asylum there after a military coup attempt in Ankara Friday.

The failed attack by a small group of military officers ended with the deaths of at least 160 people and at least 1,000 injured.  

The officers flew to Greece seeking asylum and were identified as: two majors, one captain, and five privates, according to Anadolu Agency, a state-run news organization.

According to reports, the men were arrested when they illegally entered Greece, but they are currently analyzing the asylum demand by the eight military personnel. 

The Greek government said it will return a Turkish Blackhawk helicopter to Turkey "as soon as possible." Evidently, this is how the men made their escape from Turkey. 

The coup attempt was quashed by forces loyal to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a night of air battles, explosions and gunfire. Thousands were arrested and Erdogan, who has been slowly taking more and more power away from the people, has vowed that those responsible "will pay a heavy price for their treason." This will likely mean torture and death because Erdogan is an Islamist who follows the precepts of Sharia.

Gulen and Erdogan

The soldiers behind the coup at the military headquarters in Ankara have been taken into custody. May God have mercy on them because knowing Erdogan, they will need it.

The Andolu Agency report stated that anti-terrorism police [an oxymoron if there ever was one] will conduct a "detailed search"  at the headquarters, obviously to look for evidence pertaining to coup participants. 

NTV television showed a colonel and other soldiers being taken into custody at he HQ. They were being searched by special forces police, hands behind their heads, and kneeling on the ground in the same fashion. Some of the lower-ranking soldiers claimed they didn't know that they were part of a coup, but video may have disproved that claim.

Military chief of staff Gen. Hulusi Akar has taken over command of the operation against the coup plotters, according to CNN-Turk.

When the coup attempt began late Friday, the military involved said it had seized control "to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for law and order to be reinstated."

Sadly, they lost in their attempt and will obviously pay for it with their blood.

A statement from the White House said President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry agreed that both sides "should support the democratically elected government of Turkey, show restraint and avoid any violence or bloodshed."

And they should know--Obama and Kerry have avoided getting involved with actually retaliating against Islamic jihad and refuse to discuss it.

Supposedly, the coup will have "no impact" on anti-ISIS missions flown out of Incirlik Airbase in southeastern Turkey, according to a senior Defense Department official. This may be true, but it's likely that the aftermath of the coup attempt will end up being bad for the United States.

The Judges and Prosecutors High Council, a governing body overseeing judges and prosecutors in Turkey, has dismissed 2,745 judges across the country in a likely attempt to make the country more Sharia-compliant and fall in line with Erdogan's leadership. They had an emergency meeting hours after the coup was quashed.

The meeting was called to discuss disciplinary measures against those suspected of having links to the movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. The Turkish government believes the coup was carried out by a small group within the military loyal to Gulen's movement.

Useless NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued a statement calling for "calm and restraint," taking his cue from Obama and Kerry. Stoltenberg called for respect for Turkey's democratic institution and its constitution, but that's why they had a coup in the first place, proving once more that NATO has its collective head up its nether regions.

Leaders of Turkey's current* religious communities released a joint statement condemning the coup attempt. The statement came from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities declaring "our great sorrow over the terrorist attacks that disturb the peace of our great nation and of the world."

Erdogan spoke at Ataturk Airport early Saturday and spoke to the crowd of loyal Islamobots: "They have pointed the people's guns against the people. The president whom 52 percent of the people brought to power, is in charge. This government brought to power by the people is in charge. They won't succeed as long as we stand against them by risking everything."

Of course, Erdogan risked nothing as he was away from the country on vacation at the taxpayer's expense.



*If you have an IQ above room temperature, you must have observed how Christians and especially, Jews, have been disappearing from Islamic theocracies over the years. This is not coincidence but the result of Islamic scripture that commands Muslims to conquer, convert the infidels to Islam, or make them pay a tax called "jizyya" if they refuse to convert, and kill them if they don't pay up. This is one of the basic tenets of the "religion of peace."

DEVELOPING: EgyptAir flight 804 crashed: likely due to terrorism

EgyptAir flight 804 bound for Cairo went down in the Mediterranean Sea early Thursday morning with 66 souls aboard. It left from Paris' Charles de Gaulle International airport and several hours later sharply zig-zagged before plunging into the sea, aviation officials said. The aircraft was an AirBus 320.

Terrorism seems to be the most likely cause of the downing, but nothing can be ruled out at this time.

Government officials from Egypt, France and Greece had separate press conferences and White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, held a presser just after 12:30 p.m.

Ships and smaller craft are searching the waters off the Greek Island of Karpathos, where a witness reported seeing a fireball in the sky, but the depth of the water is as much as 5,000 feet and the search is likely going to be difficult.

At this posting, there is a British missile cruiser HMS Defender and a Russian ship closing in on the area where there is a suspected debris field. An Egyptian plane spotted two orange items believed to be from the missing plane.

The head of Russia's top domestic security agency, Alexander Bortnikov, said that "in all likelihood it was a terrorist attack" and called for a joint effort to track down those responsible for that "monstrous attack."

More to follow as more is learned.

Three Brits cum Kurds arrested by Greek authorities

Greece -- Greek police arrested a 40-year-old Iraqi Kurd in Thessaloniki, on the border crossing to Turkey, after finding he was carrying a large cache of weapons. The man is also a British citizen, police told the AP.

The weapons seized were four air rifles, eight scopes and about 200,000 22-caliber rounds.

Several hours before this arrest, the coast guard arrested two other British citizens, ages 35 and 36. They were carrying 18 rifles and only 40,000 rounds. The arrest took place in Alexandroupolis.

The coast guard reported that it was the arrest of the latter two individuals that led to the third suspect's arrest.

It's difficult to tell whether the arrests were a good thing or a bad thing as it is the Kurds who are supported by us in the fighting against the Assad regime.

But air rifles?

In a related story, the U.S. is asking Turkey to stop shelling Kurdish fighters in Northern Syria as they try to seize new ground before the ceasefire. If the Turks kill the Kurds, then who will fight ISIS for us?

We have asked the Kurds not to try expanding their territory and would like Turkey to be so kind as to not kill anymore Kurds. All of this fighting is not making for good allies with us and Turkey.

And Russia? Forget about it.

Terrorists love a borderless Europe

Liberals like to think of themselves as morally superior to conservatives. The truth is, they are overcompensating for their lacking in the reality department of life.

The Oresund bridge connects Sweden and Denmark after opening in 2000. If you want to go from one country to the other, there's no problem. Of course, there's also no problem going from one country to the other if you happen to be a migrant or a terrorist in the cause of Islam.

Sweden finally woke up and realized that the bridge supported a record flow of migrants and now, starting tomorrow, there will be new travel restrictions to stem the flow. After a year of terrorism and migration all throughout Europe, borders are making a comeback. Liberals are at a loss of what to do. 

No longer will people be able to go from one country to another without ever having to produce your passport. Europe is going back to borders and sovereignty. 

How very conservative. 

Sweden wants to prevent undocumented (read "illegal") migrants from entering their country, now that 160,000 asylum-seekers stormed in last year. Many of them were from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, and the majority of them were young men. They could have stayed back and fought ISIS and the Taliban, but immigration jihad is so much safer.

Finally, border checks are being performed in Germany, France, Belgium, Austria and in other countries that what was touted to be a passport-free, 26 country travel zone.

Due to the inability of liberals to ever admit they are wrong, the move is slated to be temporary. But if the inevitability of migrants and terrorist immigration continues, as it likely will, the move will be extended. 

Some European nations have suspended EU rules as they've experienced problems with security, terrorism and public order. "It's basically every country for itself now," said EU expert, Mark Rhinard of the Swedish Institute of International Affairs.

Shades of Angela Merkel.

About one million migrants crossed the Mediterranean last year. Both Sweden and Germany welcomed them with open arms and open wallets. Hungary built a fence to keep them out--the Mexicans didn't pay for it. 

The Danish government threatened migrants that they would confiscate their jewelry to cover their expenses--the migrants didn't want to have to pay their way so they largely avoided Denmark, their jewelry intact.

There were EU rules requiring migrants seek shelter in the first EU country they enter. Greece and Italy were inundated by sea arrivals and other northern countries allowed migrants to continue on to their intended destinations, as long as the destination was elsewhere. 

The EU worked to evenly spread out the refugees across the bloc, but it met with stiff resistance from its member states and only 150 of the 160,000 had been relocated from Italy and Greece. 

They were stuck with them like a community organizer seeks to stick our nation with the same problem. Not only will jobs be taken from legal immigrants and others, we are inviting unvetted people into the country and ISIS said that they will be among them.

How very liberal.

Doing the Hijrah Hustle

CNN (Certainly Not News) reported a story about the heroic adventures of two young Syrians with a whale of a tale about their swim "through the dark waters of Greece."

The story starts out with Hesham Modamani (his friends tease him and call him "Heshy" 'because it sounds so Jewish') looking out at sea, the same sea "separating him and his dream of getting to Europe, the continent that could finally free him from the horrors back at home in Syria. The 24-year old felt nervous." CNN writes.

Roll the music.

Heshy couldn't afford to pay the $1350.72 to be smuggled across the channel (okay, I added the 72 cents) between Turkey and the nearest Greek island, so he decided to swim instead.

" .  .  .  He couldn't give up now."

Heshy turned to Feras Abukhalil, his new Syrian buddy, as they strapped on their blue life vests (bought at a discount Syrian yacht shop), packed away their passports and $2500 cell phones in a plastic bag that came with the life vests, and jumped into the salty brine.

The water was cold and angry, and the young men feared "the dark waters of the Aegean Sea," CNN wrote without barfing. Yet somehow they managed to gather their courage and swim on.

Heshy told CNN "This was the scariest moment of my life." I do not doubt this.

Feras (his friends call him "The Big Wheel") had planned this for two months, meticulously plotting and researching the journey, possibly on Google. The Greek island they would be swimming to, would be Chios, starting out from the Turkish coastal city of Cesma.

It was a 5 mile swim that took courage and guts, determination and resolve, and yes, it took the blessings of Allah or somebody. But they did it and CNN blew their horn.

Many CNNers will look upon that epic journey as a testimonial to the courage those young Syrian men had. Others will look upon it as refusing to fight for their homeland and simply allowing ISIS to have it.

I look upon it as Hijrah--tell me if you agree.

Germany's Merkel to discuss refugee crisis

Berlin--Chancellor Angela Merkel will be discussing the current European migrant crisis with her coalition partners today as fleeing Syrians, Iraqis and a ton of others escape the war and religious persecution brought on by ISIS. 

This religious Islamic war has been carried out by a "Jay Vee team" and facilitated due to the lack of resolve and testicular fortitude of the Obama administration. In fact, many would say that if it was not for Obama's distaste for opposing anything Islamic, there would be no ISIS and therefore no war.

The Christian Social Union, a socially-conservative wing of the Chancellor's center-right bloc, is against Germany's opening of borders to migrants, terrorists and refugees stuck in Hungary. 

Thomas Oppermann 

It is difficult to imagine why they should feel this way, after all, why should the Islamic Gulf states have to take in their own?

Concurrently, the Social Democrats, a center-left wing bloc and third member of Merkel's three-party coalition, urged immediate humanitarian help for those poor souls making their way through Europe in search of government benefits, free housing, food, clothing, and the right to create "no-go zones" in communities of their choice. However, the Social Democrats suggested these refugees be housed far from their own homes as a precautionary security measure due to their government connections.

"No decent person can remain cold and dismissive in the face of such suffering," said Thomas Ludwig Oppermann, a senior Social Democrat.

Oppermann's decency was questioned when he was accused of tipping off Sebastian Edathy this past December before an inquiry into Edathy's purchase of child pornography. Edathy is a former member of parliament and Oppermann denies the allegations. 

It's not clear that Oppermann actually tipped off the scumbag Edathy, and I don't want to sound like Harry Reid lying about Mitt Romney, but hey, you never know. It's also very easy to say that you nation should accomodate tons of refugees, but if you aren't personally willing to house them on your own turf, why should your constituency?

Some German government officials are angry at Hungary for suggesting the refugees continue traveling westward ["Let's go, nothing to see here. Move along"] instead of sheltering them and giving them the opportunity to apply for asylum.

The Gulf states are mum. They're not taking in any refugees and continue to finance terrorism in the name of Islam and its pedophile prophet.

It's really sad and conflicting for a conservative mindset. On one hand there are seriously needy refugees with their kids. On the other hand, there are many among them who are not such nice people, as attested to in England where one person wrote how refugees are fornicating and urinating in public and being totally out of hand.

German authorities have predicted that as many as 800,000 people could apply for asylum in Germany by the end of the year. What would you wager that among them will be a significant number of jihadists?

If we in the West take in some of these refugees, it would be wise of us to carefully vet each and every one. In fact, we should have done that with Barack Obama, but "he gives good speech."

The German's opposition Left Party accuses the United States of being responsible for the migrant crisis originating in the Middle East as Obama has indirectly supported terrorist groups in the region. 

That's the one thing I believe they got right.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani praised the EU countries helping the refugees and urged others to step up their efforts. 

When Rouhani says something is a good thing, you can bet it's good for Iran and isn't good for the West. 

On the Greek island of Lesbos, the island where the word "lesbian" got its name, police used batons to beat back a group of 300 crazed migrants who chanted "Athena, Athena," as they attempted to leave the port area. 

The migrants (many of whom are anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Zionist, anti-Christian Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans) claim that local authorities on the Greek island aren't moving quickly enough for their liking. They want to continue their journey to western Europe where they can finally get free stuff from Western governments and maybe, Inshallah, create a caliphate.
