Radical Islamic groups are targeting and killing Christians in multiple African nations.

An ISIS affiliate, known as Islamic State Mozambique Province, is taking responsibility for recent beheadings of Christians in Mozambique and setting fire to homes and churches, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, a research organization based in Washington, D.C.

On July 28, the Islamic State Mozambique Province claimed responsibility for capturing two Christians and beheading them. The ISIS-affiliated group said it attacked a Christian village on July 24, killing one person and setting fire to multiple homes, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent genocide or silent, brutal, savage war that is occurring in the shadows and all too often ignored by the international community,” Alberto Miguel Fernandez, vice president of the Middle East Media Research Institute, recently told Fox News Digital.

Christians never go out of their way to murder Muslims.

Muslims far too often go out of their way to murder Christians (and Jews).

A 40-year-old Tunisian man with a Swedish residence permit was shot and injured by police in the German city of Wuppertal on Wednesday afternoon after a knife attack on a passerby.

The incident began around 3:30 p.m. when the man stole a butcher’s knife from a shop on Kaiserstraße in the city’s Vohwinkel district. Shortly after leaving the store, he attacked a 32-year-old man at random, causing minor injuries.

Police officers responding to a separate incident encountered the suspect near the Bruch suspension railway station. When he advanced toward them with the knife, they opened fire.

The suspect was seriously injured and taken to hospital for treatment. He was placed under provisional arrest, and officers are guarding him until he can be discharged and brought before a judge.

Around 155 small boat migrants crossed the English Channel on August 5th, the first day after the British government announced a new partial returns agreement with France.

The Border Force vessel Typhoon arrived at Dover harbor just before 1:30 p.m., carrying the first group of migrants intercepted that morning. At least 60 people were picked up just after 11:30 a.m., with 81 disembarking from the Typhoon at the Western Jet Foil, home to the Border Force migrant processing center. Fifteen minutes later, the vessel Ranger followed with 74 more migrants, mostly young men.

The surge in crossings came just one day after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government unveiled its migrant returns deal with France. The timing has prompted criticism that the agreement is doing little to deter illegal crossings.

Pack ’em up and send ’em back. The answer to this situation is obvious, as is the criminal incompetence of the people in charge of both the British and French governments.

Fabienne Buccio, the prefect of France’s Rhône department, has fired warning shots about escalating crime rates tied to Algerian nationals in her region while expressing deep frustration over Algier’s persistent refusal to accept deportees. Her assessment reveals a growing crisis where offenders operate with what she describes as a “feeling of impunity,” knowing deportation efforts will likely fail.

Speaking in an interview making waves across French media, Buccio revealed alarming statistics: foreign-born individuals account for a staggering 60% of arrests in the Rhône department, which includes Lyon, France’s third-largest city. Even more striking is the fact that at least half of these arrestees are Algerian nationals.

Buccio explained the current system’s limitations: while some convicted criminals serve prison sentences, others are transferred to administrative detention centers (CRAs) after completing their terms to prevent their immediate return to the streets. “When I can place them in a CRA upon release from prison, I do it – because we can’t just put them straight back on the street,” she said. Judges have begun imposing the maximum 90-day detention period more frequently, but this temporary solution merely delays an unsolved problem.

United Nations officials delight in bashing U.S. and Israeli efforts to distribute aid in Gaza as a failure. But figures from one of the agency’s own reports reveal that its own work is being undone on a vast scale.

Close to 90% of the more than 2,000 U.N. food trucks sent to the strip since May 19th have been “intercepted,” either “peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors,” according to in-house monitoring.

Israeli officials have long accused Hamas terrorists of using stolen aid as a “means against the population” in Gaza.

The Jerusalem Post also reported late last week that aid hasn’t been making it to its destination because of “United Nations policies” and “delays.” All this after Jens Laerke, spokesman for a UN humanitarian agency, dismissed the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as a “failure” because “they are not doing what a humanitarian operation should do, which is providing aid to people where they are, in a safe and secure manner.”

By dliberately starving their own people, Hanas plays all of the bleeding-heart leftists in the Crust. By monopolizing the distribution of ‘food aid’, they lock in their control of the people of Gaza who might be inclined to resist the war against the Jews.

It used to be that the French government forbade the inclusion of ethnicity in its statistics on violent crime, but it seems that the rule no longer applies, based on recent statements by the prefect of Rhône.

I feel compelled to point out an important fact: the ethnic group that is overrepresented in the crime statistics in Lyon — the Algerians — is the same group whose government is refusing to allow their repatriation.

There was a time when the French government would have taken the necessary steps to solve such an issue, regardless of what the Algerian government or any human rights groups might say, but that time is long gone. Like all the other nations of Western Europe, France is supine in the face of the absurd demands made by politically correct multiculturalism. It can do nothing to stop the headlong rush towards civilizational suicide, and is required to usher in a real-time instantiation of The Camp of the Saints.

Jewish passengers aboard a flight from Buenos Aires to Madrid encountered the phrase “Free Palestine” scribbled on their kosher meals on Tuesday, an Argentine Jewish group said.

DAIA, the umbrella group of Jewish communities in Argentina, wrote on X that one Jewish passenger aboard flight IB0102, Salvador Auday, received the full phrase written in black ink on the label of his kosher meal, whereas others had only the initials, “FP” written on it.

“We condemn this discriminatory act and have contacted the airline’s authorities to demand explanations and immediate actions,” wrote DAIA, which also called the case a “serious antisemitic incident.”

Leaders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have asked the Taliban for access to a leaked list of Afghans who helped Britain so they can hunt down MI6 spies.

The Tehran regime hopes to examine the list of nearly 25,000 Afghans who worked with British forces as they seek leverage with the West ahead of nuclear negotiations this autumn.

The so-called “kill list” contains the names of Afghans who were applying for asylum, including soldiers who had worked with the British Army, intelligence assets and special forces. Some are believed to have subsequently fled to Iran.

In a sign that the two sides are already collaborating, at least one Afghan whose name was allegedly on the list has been deported from Iran to Kabul in the past few days.

Since the beginning of this year, fourteen suspects from the Netherlands have been arrested. Most of the detainees are Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent. The police have published photos of the alleged perpetrators, including two women.

The criminals used stolen cars or vehicles with fake license plates to drive to ATMs late at night, blow them up with explosives, and steal as many banknotes as possible.

During joint raids by Dutch and Austrian police at twelve locations in both countries, 16 scooters, more than 50 mobile phones, nearly half a kilo of explosives, various drugs, and €39,000 in cash were seized.

Although the group operated in Austria, similar attacks have occurred in Germany. Between 2022 and 2023, more than 800 ATM explosions were reported there. German authorities are calling for stricter penalties for the use of explosives in such crimes.

On Oct 7, 2023, thousands of Muslim Jihadis swept from Gaza into Israel, killing, torturing, raping and kidnapping anyone in their path. The victims included not only Israelis or Jews, but Americans and Europeans, Christians and Buddhists, as well as those Bedouins whom the Hamas, PLO and Islamic Jihad attackers did not consider Muslims.

Their rationale was not a “Palestinian” cause or any of the later war propaganda myths about an “open air prison”, but an Islamic religious imperative to drive out infidels. That’s why they named their genocidal campaign, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ after their occupation mosque planted in Jerusalem that they hoped to reclaim when they had killed or enslaved all the infidels in Israel.

In their earliest statements when they thought they were winning, Hamas leaders emphasized their religious agenda, of seizing the Al Aqsa Mosque and driving out the infidels, not a ‘Palestinian’ cause or the partial Israeli embargo on its limited border with Gaza.

That was the only ‘genocide’ that occured in the last two years. It just isn’t being called one.

Left to themselves, Jews would not make any special effort to exterminate Muslims. Nowhere will you find any trace of such an effort, except in response to Muslim terrorism, and often not even then.

Left to themselves, Muslims would make every effort to exterminate Jews, as they have demonstrated consistently for almost a hundred years (and sixteen centuries before that).

That is the difference between Muslims and Jews–and, indeed, Muslims and non-Muslims generally.

At the end of April, an Afghan family contacted the local employment center in Hamburg. The parents and their five children, as a needy household, applied for Bürgergeld, the citizens’ benefit paid when people have no income or do not earn enough money to support themselves and their dependents. According to official documents obtained by German investigative portal Nius, the employment center approved monthly payments of €6,733.83 from June to November 2025, with an increase to €6,814.83 starting in January 2026. Of this amount, approximately €5,100 is earmarked for Fördern und Wohnen, the city-owned social enterprise that runs the refugee accommodation where the family currently resides.

According to Nius, the Afghan family in question receives substantial state welfare support while its members run a chain of Middle Eastern grocery stores in Berlin and Hamburg. The head of the Hamburg family appears to be working at one of the supermarkets owned by members of his extended family. Raising further questions, two adult members of the household regularly flaunt expensive cars and watches on social media, posting hashtags such as “rich” and “Dubai.” The father apparently also poses on Facebook as an “entrepreneur” who visited Istanbul a few months ago.

On July 3rd, a Kosovar Muslim man, identified as Mirsad H., set his wife, Dula K., on fire in the Belgian village of Houthalen-Helchteren after being released from incarceration months early due to prison overcrowding. The attack happened in front of the couple’s five children, one of whom tried to extinguish the flames while waiting for help to arrive. The woman is now in a medically induced coma, fighting for her life, with her chances of survival minimal according to the doctors treating her.

Mirsad H. was previously known to the police, having amassed a considerable rap sheet including illegal possession of a weapon and receiving stolen goods. Before the horrific attack on his wife, he had been serving a 37-month prison sentence for domestic violence.

Despite his ample criminal record and propensity for violence against his wife, the man was granted conditional release by the Hasselt prison administration, based on an “emergency measure” implemented by former Belgian justice minister Paul Van Tigchelt to tackle overcrowding in the prison system. Current justice minister Annelies Verlinden has since called the measure illegal and vowed to end it.

The man is now facing charges of attempted murder and is expected to be tried before the Assize Court.

The UK government has confirmed the official number of small boat arrivals for Thursday, July 31. It shows that at least 25,000 people have crossed into England by boat in 2025, with 898 arriving on that day alone—the highest daily figure recorded this year.

Neither the ‘one in, one out’ agreement with France nor the broader pledge to ‘Smash the Gangs’ has deterred the crossings. In fact, Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer appears to be faring even worse than his predecessor, the ineffective Rishi ‘Stop the Boats’ Sunak.

The milestone of 25,000 arrivals comes as new figures confirm record population growth in England and Wales last year— the second-highest since World War II, driven largely by migration.

Although not all small boat arrivals will be granted leave to remain in the UK, many do stay. Combined with high levels of legal immigration, the continued influx—particularly in areas where migrants are housed—is likely to remain a major political liability for Starmer throughout his term.

A wave of shoplifting across Germany—with migrants increasingly behind the thefts—is forcing major retailers to lock away goods and rethink how they operate. As losses mount into the billions, supermarkets are now treating everyday items like high-security stock.

Junge Freiheit reports that a Kaufland supermarket in the eastern state of Thuringia has removed expensive alcoholic drinks from its shelves, replacing them with tokens that customers must take to the information desk after purchase. Staff say the move became necessary after organised thieves began clearing out shelves “rucksack by rucksack”.

“The situation became untenable,” a shop assistant told local media. “They just haul the bottles out in bulk. It’s out of control.”

After announcing with great fanfare that it would welcome refugees from Gaza to France, the ministry of foreign affairs has decided to put the plan on hold. The reason for this is the arrival of a student from Gaza whose violently antisemitic comments led the university that was supposed to host her to cancel her enrollment.

As we reported, on July 11th, Nour Atallah, a 25-year-old student from Gaza, arrived in France with the intention of studying at the Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) in Lille from September. Following the discovery on social media of an account in the young woman’s name explicitly calling for the killing of Jews and glorifying Hitler, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau instructed the prefect to refer the matter to the courts, describing her comments as “unacceptable” and “worrying.” “Hamas propagandists have no place in our country,” he said. The university eventually cancelled the student’s enrollment. Nour Atallah is now under investigation for glorifying terrorism. Her account has since been closed.

A 29-year-old Somali man has been arrested in Zweibrücken, Germany, accused of kidnapping, torturing migrants, and murdering a boy by stabbing him in the throat. The arrest was carried out in coordination with German police and Italian authorities under an international warrant issued by the Palermo Prosecutor’s Office.

According to investigators, the victim reportedly resisted a rape attempt. The suspect allegedly intended to film the assault in order to blackmail the boy’s family for ransom. The investigation began with a complaint from a fellow Somali migrant who arrived in Lampedusa in 2023, claiming the suspect had tortured detainees in a Libyan detention centre in Bani Walid under the orders of human traffickers.

Additional testimony from other migrants and digital evidence, including IP address analysis linking the suspect to both Libya and Europe, helped confirm his identity. His arrest follows months of joint investigation by Italian and German authorities.

The number of unofficial migrant arrivals in the UK by boat has now passed 24,500 so far this year as of Thursday, July 31st. In the latest spike, Border Force intercepted two boats in UK waters, each carrying over 90 migrants. Approximately 900 people landed on UK shores on Thursday alone.

With the total expected to surpass 25,000 next month, the political pressure is likely to intensify. The current figure is already over 50% higher than this time last year. The tally, compiled by GB News, typically takes several days to be verified by the government as official data.

In a separate development, the National Crime Agency (NCA) reported a success after helping to seize a shipment of inflatable boats at the Kapitan Andreevo border crossing in Bulgaria. The lorry was transporting 25 boats intended for use by smuggling gangs operating in the English Channel. Many of the boats were designed to carry 50 to 60 people, often overcrowded.

Jacque Beer—NCA Regional Head of Investigation—stated that

This was a significant seizure, with these vessels destined for use by the organised crime groups running small boat crossings from France to the UK.

At a pivotal UN conference in New York, several key Arab nations—including Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan—have jointly called for the end of Hamas’ control over the Gaza Strip. The proposal, outlined in a seven-page document, argues that dismantling the Hamas government is essential to resolving the long-standing Israel-Palestine conflict.

“As part of ending the war in the Gaza Strip, Hamas must end its rule in the Gaza Strip and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority with international commitment and support,” the document declares. The statement also condemns Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

A total of 17 countries have endorsed the proposal so far, with backing from Western nations, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Norway, and Ireland. More endorsements are expected ahead of September, when the initiative is scheduled for formal adoption at the UN.

A Jewish man from France and his young child were called “murderers” at an Italian motorway service station before being surrounded and harassed by a crowd chanting “Free Palestine.”

Mobile phone footage captures the lead-up to the attack, which began after the man took his child to the toilet. The confrontation appears to have started with a cashier at the service station shop. As the man left the restroom, he was attacked by a group of 15 to 20 people, knocked to the ground, and repeatedly kicked. One of the attackers shouted, “We are not in Gaza, we are in Italy.” The six-year-old child was not injured.

Police arrived about 10 minutes later, and the crowd quickly dispersed. Strangely, officers then told the victim—via his Italian son-in-law—that he should ask Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop bombing Gaza. The man responded, “But I’m not Israeli, I’m French.”

A police investigation is now underway. Milan city councillor Daniele Nahum asked:

Has attacking Jewish citizens truly become ‘normal’ due to Gaza events?

Tragically, some Europeans—from Belgium to Cyprus and now Italy—are answering her question in the affirmative.

As long as Islam exists, ‘jihadis’ will be a problem. It’s been that way for 1400 years, and there is no indication that it will change. Whether our Ruling Class will continue prating how ‘peaceful’ Muslims are while ignoring the mass murder, or whether they will wake up and decide to do something about it, is an exercise left for the reader.

“If you are not conscious of their desire for conquest, you will be conquered.”

Yesterday I posted about the Muslim Brotherhood in Spain; today it’s Italy’s turn.

I began writing about the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen) almost twenty years ago, and warned about the ugly mess the West would face if it didn’t wake up to what was happening and act against the Ikhwan. Well, it has finally woken up (at least parts of Europe have), but unfortunately it is too late: Islam has reached critical mass in Western Europe. A political solution to the issue is thus no longer possible; we may either submit to Islam, or use kinetic means to deal with the problem, the details of which cannot be described here, in the interests of prudence.

After a daycare center in Lower Saxony recently raised the hackles of parents by only serving sausages from halal-slaughtered animals, now a school in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhein-Westphalia, is also bowing to the demands of the Muslim population when it comes to food offerings. Starting next school year, Erle Comprehensive School will serve only halal meals, according to an announcement on the school’s website, Junge Freiheit reports. The catering company providing lunches for the school also supplies nine other schools in the city, all of which will now serve only meat prepared according to Islamic slaughter rules.

Around 60% of students in Gelsenkirchen have a migration background, with some districts seeing even higher numbers. Pork has already been banned in all schools since 2010, following a decision by the city’s food advisory board.

Other schools in Germany, including a special needs school in Baden-Württemberg, have also shifted to halal-only menus.

Experts have long predicted this trend, which follows the massive inflow of migrants from Muslim countries. In 2016, a former vice president of the German Nutrition Society said pork would gradually disappear from school menus. This is already happening, especially in areas with large Muslim populations like the Ruhr region.

Authorities tend to take the position that while the mode of slaughter is important to Muslims, other citizens probably don’t care that much how the animals that provide their meat are killed.

But some non-Muslim Europeans view halal-slaughtered meat being the ‘default’ offering as a form of religious accommodation that they have not chosen, or even a forced passive participation in a system they don’t adhere to. Certain Christians oppose consuming halal meat because the animal is dedicated to Allah, a deity they do not worship or recognize. And animal rights activists have opposed halal slaughter that does not stun the animal before its throat is slit and it is drained of all blood.

No word on whether German schools intend to cater to the religious food rules of the Jewish population—who do not consume halal foods.

Unidentified individuals spray-painted “NYT Lies, Gaza Dies” on The New York Times building in Manhattan on Wednesday, with sections of the structure’s doors and windows also daubed with red paint.

The incident followed heightened criticism of the newspaper’s coverage of the Gaza conflict. The perpetrators remain unknown.

The graffiti appeared hours after the Times issued an editor’s note amending its July 24 article, “Gazans are dying of starvation.” Five days after publication, the Times acknowledged that its story referenced a Gazan boy, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, suffering from severe malnutrition, but later learned from his doctor and medical records that the child also had preexisting health conditions. The editor’s note underscored that the article had been updated to reflect these new details.

UPDATE: New York Times Issues Editor’s Note Over Condition of Child in Viral Image

Washington Free Beacon.

The former Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) employee who now claims he witnessed American-backed “war crimes” privately threatened to become the aid organization’s “worst enemy” after being fired “due to poor performance, volatile conflicts with staff, and erratic behavior,” according to text messages and other GHF employees who testified under oath.

Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. special forces officer who worked as a contractor with GHF, ignited a media firestorm this week when he claimed to have resigned after witnessing “the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians” and committing other alleged “war crimes.” News outlets like the BBC and CBS News ran with Aguilar’s account, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) interviewed the fired former contractor in a YouTube video. The stridently anti-Israel Maryland Democrat led a group of 19 senators from his party who demanded that the Trump administration pull more than $30 million in funding for GHF.

Since his June 13 termination from UG Solutions, the security firm working with GHF, Aguilar has allegedly fabricated documents supporting his case and repeatedly begged the aid organization to rehire him. GHF presented multiple text messages Aguilar sent members of the organization that directly contradict his story.

In one June 22 text message Aguilar sent to GHF leaders, he instructed them to “stop f—ing around, put me back to work, and let’s get this mission done.”

“If you want to play games, we can play games,” Aguilar threatened. “I can be your best friend, or your worst nightmare.”

Every day this week, hundreds of U.N. trucks stacked with pallets of humanitarian aid have exited Israeli-patrolled routes and rumbled into population centers in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has implemented daily pauses in military operations.

Many of those trucks, operating under enhanced Israeli protections introduced on Sunday, have not reached U.N. warehouses, according to Gazans and high-ranking Israeli military officers. Armed Hamas militants have hijacked them, the people said, and what aid has reached U.N. warehouses has disappeared into a patronage system controlled by Hamas.

Long-shuttered distribution sites for food aid at schools, mosques, and bakeries have remained so. Civilians have been forced to buy the aid, often still branded with the U.N. emblem, from sellers who charge exorbitant prices in order to pay heavy taxes to Hamas.

“Fifty trucks arrived yesterday at warehouses in Gaza City, and Hamas stole all of the aid,” said Moumen Al-Natour, a 30-year-old lawyer in the Gazan capital, on Tuesday. “Today, the aid went on sale in the black markets at very high prices.”

Al-Natour said a childhood friend, seeking to feed his family, joined a mob of hungry Gazans trying to loot the trucks and was trampled to death along with others.

Such Hamas-dominated violence and graft surrounding U.N. aid deliveries in Gaza is typical, several dozen civilians, Israeli officers, and others on the ground told the Washington Free Beacon.

The recent call by the German Association for Education and Training (VBE) to establish comprehensive Islamic religious education in schools across the country has reignited the debate on institutionalised Islamisation in Europe. Gerhard Brand, the VBE’s federal president, urged political authorities to plan “adequate human and material resources” to implement such instruction in the short term, stressing that existing pilot projects must be evaluated, optimised, and rapidly expanded.

Federal states such as North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria already offer confessional Islamic teaching, while others rely on non-binding Islamic studies or have no consistent programs at all. This disparity has been used as an argument to demand a “comprehensive national offer” that, according to the VBE, would allow Muslim students to express their faith in a controlled school environment.

However, warnings have not been long in coming. The German Teachers’ Association, through its president Stefan Düll, acknowledged the risk that radical preachers are exploiting the absence of state-regulated Islamic education online and within closed family circles. In his view, a model supervised by the state could counterbalance the more extremist currents.

But the core problem lies not only in the form but also in the content of such education. Numerous experts have denounced that organisations such as DITIB, which still maintain structural ties with Ankara and the Turkish religious authority Diyanet, continue to influence Islamic education in Germany. Journalist Eren Güvercin, one of the most vocal critics, has warned that even if imams are trained on German soil, they continue to spread a nationalist and religious mentality alien to European values. The Bundestag has also come under fire for failing to sever ties with these entities.

The German case is not isolated. In France, the phenomenon is even more concerning.

Lifeguards in the Swiss city of Basel are calling for urgent action after repeated problems with groups of young people of migrant descent—mainly from nearby France—causing trouble at the city’s public swimming pools.

The situation is especially tense at the popular St. Jakob garden pool, where staff say they’ve faced insults, threats, and even intimidation while trying to enforce the rules.

In a letter sent to city authorities, the lifeguards said the young visitors, often of North African background, regularly ignore hygiene rules.

Staff report being surrounded and harassed when asking people to follow the rules. Regular Swiss guests are reportedly staying away due to the chaotic atmosphere.

The lifeguards are demanding stronger security and clearer dress codes. One internal message even warned that if this continues, “what do we do then, call in the army?”

As we recently reported, the Swiss town of Porrentruy (Pruntrut) has barred entry to its municipal outdoor swimming pool to anyone who is not a Swiss citizen, resident, or officially employed in Switzerland. The drastic measure follows a wave of harassment and violent behaviour—much of it reportedly committed by French nationals crossing the border.

Meanwhile, public swimming pools have become the stage for a rising tide of sexual violence in Germany. According to recent data, 65% of the suspects in sexual assaults recorded in German pools during 2024 did not hold German citizenship.

A Syrian migrant has reportedly bitten off part of an Israeli tourist’s ear in Athens, shouting ‘Free Palestine.’

The alleged victim of the attack, Stav Ben Shoshan, was with his wife at a local beach when assaulted by a group of Syrian migrants. He lost part of his ear to a man shouting “I am Hamas!” who overheard the couple talking to two elderly Israelis in Hebrew.

A representative of Israel’s foreign ministry told journalists that the “attacker is under arrest. We are in contact with him and with the authorities.”

Migrants shouting “To hell with Israel” fit in with a pattern of antisemitic violence seen in Europe this summer. Earlier in July, a group of Israeli teenagers were attacked outside a nightclub in Rhodes, Cyprus.

The suspicion that many analysts and British citizens have harboured for months has now been confirmed: the Online Safety Act, introduced as a pioneering piece of legislation to protect minors from harmful content on the internet, in reality serves a much more anti-democratic purpose. Labour MP Barry Gardiner acknowledged on Monday, July 28th, in an interview with GB News that the law also aims to identify and restrict content deemed “harmful,” including expressions of “sentiments contrary to immigration.”

This admission marks a turning point in the debate over freedom of expression in the United Kingdom. Until now, the Labour government had avoided explicitly confirming that the law had an ideological and repressive component, hiding behind the rhetoric of child safety. But Gardiner’s statements have removed any ambiguity.

A Syrian man, identified as Wassim Al?M., has been formally charged with attempted murder, dangerous bodily harm, and attempted membership in a foreign terrorist organisation over a stabbing attack that severely injured a Spanish tourist at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial in February.

The victim, a 30-year-old man from the Basque Country of northern Spain, sustained life-threatening neck injuries.

Prosecutors allege Wassim carried out the stabbing at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe with the explicit aim of killing Jews, motivated by extremist Islamist and antisemitic views.

The suspect “shares the ideology of the foreign terrorist organisation Islamic State,” federal prosecutors said in a statement.

A vast network of anti-Israel groups has found “alternative fiscal sponsorships” after a main backer, the Westchester People’s Action Coalition (WESPAC), was exposed in a number of lawsuits as the financial powerhouse underwriting the nationwide campus protest movement, a new watchdog report shows.

WESPAC, a nonprofit headquartered in the affluent New York suburb White Plains, served until recently as the official “fiscal sponsor” for many of the organizations orchestrating violent and often anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses across the country. With WESPAC now embroiled in nationwide lawsuits, its partner organizations have been forced to find new benefactors and alternate fundraising channels.

WESPAC’s financial relationships with numerous pro-terror groups allowed it to accept tax-deductible donations on behalf of many organizations “directly responsible for targeting Jews with antisemitic rhetoric and creating a hostile environment across the United States,” according to a new report by NGO Monitor, which tracks anti-Israel funding networks. Those organizations include National Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Adalah-NY.

On Saturday, July 26th, pro-Palestinian activists disrupted Mass at La Madeleine, one of the largest churches in Paris, by bursting in during Mass to chant their slogans.

Five people entered the building while Mass was being celebrated. They shouted “Long live Palestine!” while waving Palestinian keffiyehs. The words “Gaza” and “genocide” rang out in the church, along with the question, “What is the Church doing about this?” They read aloud a text calling for an end to attacks on Palestinian civilians and for respect for international humanitarian law.

Several worshippers, disturbed in their prayers, asked them to leave. Among them were two police officers, who contained the troublemakers and called for reinforcements. The police arrived on the scene and evacuated them. During questioning on the steps of the church, the protesters explained that they had planned similar actions during Sunday morning Masses in other Parisian churches. However, no further attacks were reported.

The priest of La Madeleine, Msgr. Patrick Chauvet, former rector of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, decided to file a complaint. “This is a real blasphemy in the middle of the distribution of the Eucharist. They seemed to be mocking this central moment for Christians,” he told the press, obviously shocked.

The priest tried to engage in discussion with the protesters but was met with a wall of resistance. “I asked them to show some respect for the place and for Holy Communion. For us Christians, this is the most important thing. It is a treasure. They were desecrating that treasure. But the response was chilling: ‘That’s the way it is. The genocide in Gaza is more important,’” he told journalists from Tribune chrétienne. “No, genocide is not more important than the Eucharist,” he replied in his defence.

A large portion of the conversation on the Middle East currently revolves around reports of starvation in Gaza—indeed, this is supposed to be part of the reason France’s Emmanuel Macron is preparing to officially recognise a Palestinian state.

Yet Hamas’ opposition to a humanitarian foundation, which says it has distributed almost 100 million meals in Gaza since late May, appears to have gone largely underreported.

The Wall Street Journal reported late last week that the terror group had the shutting down of this U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as the “no. 2 item” on its “list of demands in ceasefire negotiations on Thursday.” The paper also quoted an American official who said the GHF has “caused Hamas more fear than anything else has in the past two years.”

Human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky explained that this was because the foundation “works.”

Hamas wants all aid to flow through them, so as to support their iron grip on ‘Palestinians’.

Armed with guns and machetes, members of the Islamist ‘Allied Democratic Forces’ raided a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a nighttime Mass on Sunday and killed more than 40 Christians.

Youngsters in the French city of Limoges have gone a renewed rampage, blockading a highway and ambushing the police. This report, as is usually the case, makes no mention of ethnicity. However, anyone who thinks there was no cultural enrichment involved in the violence is living in a state of denial.

The death toll from an attack on a Catholic church in eastern Congo by Islamic State-backed rebels has risen to 34, according to a civil society leader.

At least five other people were killed in an earlier attack on the nearby village of Machongani, from where a search is ongoing.

In my previous post I reported on an American tourist who had his throat slit by Moroccan youngsters in Milan. The following report from Spain is an update on last week’s incident in Torre Pacheco in Spain: three suspects, all of them Moroccans, have been arrested for their part in a violent attack on a native Spaniard.

Boy, those Moroccans really get around.

An American tourist on a trip to Milan got to experience the joys of European diversity first-hand: while on a train, he was set upon, “stabbed”, and robbed by several young whippersnappers from Morocco. I put “stabbed” in quote marks, because the reports say he was “stabbed in the neck”, which really means that his throat was slit, the time-honored Islamic practice for dealing with infidels. Fortunately for the victim, the “youths” were in a hurry and must have missed his carotid artery, otherwise he might have bled out.
