» Arabs Drag Jews from Cars And Beat Them

Lead Story by Ryan Jones, Israel Today —
Israel is burning at the moment, and most of the international media is focused either on suspected acts of Jewish violence or is reporting very vaguely on ongoing Arab riots. What’s being all but ignored are some very serious attacks against Israeli Jews for the crime of being Jewish.

As the Arab riots spread to the northern part of Israel over the weekend, masked men began blocking roads in the area known as “the Triangle” and demanding to know if passing motorists were Jews or Arabs.

Two such passengers who made the mistake of answering in Hebrew were pulled from their vehicles and beaten by an Arab mob. One of the victims managed to get back in his car and make a speedy escape, while the other fled on foot. His car was subsequently torched by the rioters.

A police officer responding to the scene was similarly attacked and forced to run away on foot from the marauding Arab mob.

Back in Jerusalem where the violence was most severe, a group of Arab youth hurled stones at a Jewish couple walking near the Old City on Saturday evening. The Jewish woman sustained light injuries, while her husband managed to scare off their attackers by firing his gun in the air.

Arab stone-throwers also attacked a public bus traveling near Mount Scopus, injuring the driver and two passengers.

On the Mount of Olives, Arab attackers reportedly stormed a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) and threw stones at students gathered in the dining hall. The unarmed religious Jews are said to have responded by throwing chairs, food and boiling water, eventually repelling their assailants.

In southern Jerusalem, at least two large fires were started when Arab mobs hurled firebombs at Jewish motorists. Two parked vehicles presumably belonging to local Jews were also burned.

On Friday, a number of Arab men posted to Facebook pictures of themselves attempting to use a circular saw to cut down a power line supplying electricity to the city’s light rail.

At Sunday’s cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli authorities are working quell disturbances on both sides, but that the local Arab leadership must do the same.

“There is no room in Israel for throwing rocks at police, throwing petrol bombs, blocking roads, destroying property or inciting against the very existence of the State of Israel,” he said, noting that the very same people currently engaged in unruly anti-Israel violence are the same who scream loudest about their right to receive benefits from the state.

“You cannot enjoy social security payments and child benefit on the one hand, and violate the most basic laws of the State of Israel on the other,” Netanyahu stated. “I call upon leaders of the Arab public to take responsibility, to face the wave of rioting and restore peace.” » Full Article...

» Rep. Sessions: Obama’s ‘Not Wanted In Texas’ For Border Visit
Newsmax —
Obama will attend three fundraisers in Texas next week, but won't be visiting the border to see the illegal immigration crisis for himself because "it would send a bad signal for the president to be seen with these children," Rep. Pete Sessions told Newsmax Saturday. "He's not wanted in Texas," the Lone Star State Republican said in an interview. "We could care less about him coming down here trying to put on a fake face about what he has done." "I could care less if he comes to Texas and do not want him to be seen doing a press conference with what he's doing at Lackland," Sessions said. "It would only encourage the circumstances further." ...

» The ISIS Conquest Of Iraq leads To Jerusalem
American Thinker —
As we witness the brutalization of Iraq by the ISIS terror organization consider this: this Islamic march of death leads to Jerusalem. The leading result of the call of the people in the Arab world for the overthrow of unsatisfactory leaders has been their cause being hijacked by insurgent jihadi terrorists. We saw that in Libya with the fall of Gadhafi. We saw it in Egypt where Mubarak was replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood, in this case an in-house jihadi movement. We see it in Syria where the people’s cry against Assad has led to an influx of Al-Qaida type groups vying for dominance. Now we witness the conquest of Iraq by a vicious Islamic terror regime against which Al-Qaida pales into moderation...

» Watchdog: IRS Obstructed Congress When It Lost Lois Lerner’s Emails
The Daily Caller —
New evidence about Lois Lerner’s missing emails suggests IRS acted in “bad faith,” and that there may have been White House involvement. Cause of Action, a watchdog group that is investigating embattled former IRS official Lois Lerner, believes that there’s strong evidence proving the tax agency has obstructed Congress by losing Lerner’s emails and has suggested steps to get to the bottom of the situation. “It’s very clear that this is obstruction of Congress,” Epstein told TheDC. “The IRS on June 3, 2011 became on notice that there was a congressional investigation, which automatically means that there is a duty to preserve documents.”...

» Reports Of Pro-Immigrant Protesters Burning American Flag On 4th Of July Fuels Fight In Murrieta
Alex Jones’ Infowars—
The small Southern California community of Murrieta has become ground zero in the growing humanitarian crisis on the U.S. southern border with Mexico, and reports that an American flag was burned there Friday will only add to that distinction. Breitbart News reported that it obtained a photo of a burnt American flag at “a pro-amnesty protest” near the Murrieta Border Patrol station on the Fourth of July. The image was provided by “an anti-illegal immigrant activist,” and the partially burnt flag is on the ground. With 52,000 unaccompanied children having crossed into the U.S. from Mexico since October, the Obama administration is sending the children all throughout the United States for processing...

» Rick Perry: Terrorists, Gangsters Looking to Exploit Border Crisis
Breitbart —
Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry warned members of Congress Thursday that transnational gangsters and terrorists are looking to exploit the border crisis, which he said endangers the nation's security. At a House Homeland Security Field Hearing at South Texas College in McAllen, Texas, Perry said gangsters and terrorists can easily take advantage of the crisis at the border that has "strained the Border Patrol," which Perry said already has "insufficient" resources. He said because the Border Patrol now has to focus on the overflow of illegal immigrant children instead of on their "primary task," the border is "less secure than at any time in the recent past."...

» ISIS Paving Way For New Religion By Destroying Mosques And Shrines In Iraq
Al-Arabiya —
Jihadists who overran Mosul last month have demolished ancient shrines and mosques in and around the historic northern Iraqi city, residents and social media posts said Saturday. At least four shrines to Sunni Arab or Sufi figures have been demolished, while six Shiite mosques, or husseiniyahs, have also been destroyed, across militant-held parts of northern Nineveh province, of which Mosul is the capital. Pictures posted on the Internet by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) showed the Sunni and Sufi shrines were demolished by bulldozers, while the Shiite mosques and shrines were all destroyed by explosives...

» Obama Administration Circumvents Congress, Faces Backlash Over Native Hawaiians Proposal
The Daily Signal —
HONOLULU—A proposal by the Obama administration to create a new relationship with ethnic Hawaiians may have backfired. The U.S. Department of Interior is holding a series of hearings about the plan, which, it said in a statement, would determine “the best path forward for honoring the trust relationship that Congress has created specifically to benefit Native Hawaiians.” The vast majority of native Hawaiians who testified during a recent hearing were indignant, and even outraged, that the federal government would try to insert itself or side with any faction of native Hawaiians...

» Embracing Shari’a Law: Un-American Ideals
Insti-Gator News Network —
As Christians all around the globe watched Dr. Meriam Ibrahim Ishag suffer at the hands of Sudan’s radical Shari’a extremists during the last two months, Americans in particular can take away one critical piece of knowledge. We absolutely do not want any form of the barbaric Shari’a law introduced into our U.S. courts. Except it already has been. Thanks to efforts by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Shari’a law is well on it’s way to becoming the new standard in civil court cases...

» Obama Refuses To Secure The Border To Allow Islamic Terrorists Entry Into U.S.
Now The End Begins —
Obama allowing thousands of Muslim terrorists to come over the border
It is obvious to anyone watching the news over the past few weeks that thousands of illegal immigrants have been allowed to come across the southern border of the United States. It is equally obvious that president Barack Hussein Obama is not doing one, single thing to stop it. Have you stopped for a moment to ask yourself why that might be? Action News Channel 2 in Atlanta Georgia ask that question, and what they found should terrify you. Muslim terrorists from Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia – thousands of them – are travelling to Mexico, learning to speak Spanish, and coming across the Arizona and Texas Border. It been happening for some time now but has recently reached a fever pitch when Obama ordered the Border Patrol to stand down and let the illegals in. They have been coming in by the bus load, and federal detention centers have been established to house them...
