Soon the country became an... 

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has warned Turkey against buying Russian military equipment as it would undermine the NATO alliance. It would be “reckless” if Turkey used the Russian-made S-400 anti-missile system, he added during a Wednesday NATO event in Washington. “Turkey must choose,” said Pence. “Does it want to remain a critical partner in the most successful military alliance in history... 

It was an average day in the occupied territories. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers arrested a 9 year old boy from his elementary school, brandishing their guns and threatening everyone around them.

Syria’s UN ambassador has suggested the US hand “a couple” of its own states over to Israel instead of flouting international law and selling others’ land for favors with the Israeli lobby, like it did with the Golan Heights.

Last year chief rabbi Yitzhak Yosef made some controversial remarks, which we only found out about now. It’s been reported that during a sermon he compared “negroes” to monkeys. Specifically, he’s reported to have said: “You can’t say a blessing for every negro you see, you go around in the streets of America, every five minutes you will see a Negro. Do you bless him as an ‘exceptional... 

Israel will respond with force to a rocket attack that hit a residential area north of Tel Aviv, injuring 7 people, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said after talking to top military brass.

House Democrats have introduced a resolution condemning boycotts of Israel, competing with President Donald Trump to see who can pander the loudest to the Israeli lobby, ahead of the AIPAC conference – never mind their base.

Trump may be God’s chosen one to save the Jewish people from “the Iranian menace,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed in a baffling interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Presumably the comparison... 

Terrorist attacks against Muslims in the Western world, like the one that took place in Christchurch, are extremely rare.

Nonetheless,... 

Islamist tyrant Recep Tayyip Erdogan has caused fury by telling New Zealanders they will be sent back in “coffins” like their forefathers in WW1 if they misbehave while visiting Turkey for Anzac day in April. “If you come in peace, fine, if not, you will be sent back in COFFINS the way your forefathers were dispatched after the Gallipoli Battle of WW1,” said the Turkish president. Erdogan... 

So far this year there have been 201 different Muslim terrorist attacks around the world which have killed 1,175 people—but, unlike the New Zealand mosque attack, there is no international “outrage” because the terrorists were nonwhite.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is prepared to throw the power of its naval force – and urges the world to join in – to block the Iranian oil shipments circumventing unilaterally imposed US sanctions against Tehran. “Iran is trying to bypass the sanctions on it through the covert smuggling of petroleum via the sea. As these attempts expand, the navy will have a more important role...
