Massive European study finds large gap in East, West acceptance of Jews-Pew surveys of 56,000 adults in 34 nations find Western Europeans more willing to have Jewish family members, neighbors than in East; divide in acceptance of Muslims even greater-By TOI staff-oct 31,18

Eastern Europeans are far less willing to have Jews in their families or as their neighbors than their Western European counterparts, a gap that is even more pronounced when it comes to attitudes toward Muslims.According to an analysis of a series of surveys by the Pew Research Center carried out from 2015 to 2017 among some 56,000 adults in 34 European countries, the gap between Europe’s two halves is significant.The figures are also largely unchanged among young adults, aged 18-34, suggesting that current attitudes are likely to remain constant for the foreseeable future.Only 40 percent of Russians said they “would be willing to accept Jews as members of their family,” and just 35% of Greeks, 43% of Ukrainians, 51% of Czechs and 57% of Poles.Among Western European nations, meanwhile, the figure was 69% in the United Kingdom and Germany, 76% in France, 79% in Spain, 89% in Belgium — and was at its highest in the Scandinavian countries: 92% in Sweden, 92% in Denmark and 95% in Norway.Only 5% or less in Scandinavian and northern European countries said they would reject Jews as their neighbors, with the highest figure in Western Europe being 12%, in Italy.The corresponding figures given for Eastern Europe were divided by religious affiliation within each country. Rejection of Jews as neighbors was as high as 33% among Armenia’s Christian Orthodox and 30% among that population in Romania. In Lithuania and Ukraine, 24% and 21% of Catholics, respectively, said they wouldn’t accept Jews in their neighborhood.The East-West gap is even more pronounced when it comes to Muslims, who are less liked than Jews in every European country except Muslim-majority Bosnia.In the East, just 34% of Russians said they would accept a Muslim in the family, 31% of Greeks, 25% of Ukrainians, 12% of Czechs and 33% of Poles. Among Orthodox Christians, 77% in Armenia, 48% in Latvia and 40% in Belarus said they would reject Muslims as neighbors. Some 66% of Catholics in the Czech Republic and 56% of that population in Lithuania also said so.In the West, the figure for those who accept Muslims as family members was 53% in the UK, 55% in Germany, 66% in France, 74% in Spain, 77% in Belgium, and among the Scandinavians 80%, 81% and 82% in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, respectively.The figure for those who accept Muslims as neighbors was 78% in the UK, 77% in Germany, 85% in France, 86% in Spain, 91% in Belgium and among the Scandinavians 90%, 91% and 92% in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, respectively.Acceptance of Jews and Muslims tends to correspond to the extent to which citizens of a particular country view their religious identity as fundamental to their national identity. In Greece, for example, where few want either Muslims or Jews in their families, 76% agreed with the statement that “to truly share their national identity” one needs to be Greek Orthodox. In Russia and Ukraine, 57% and 51% believe belonging to the national Christian church is fundamental to belonging to the nation.In the UK, Germany, France and Denmark, meanwhile, just 34%, 34%, 32% and 19%, respectively, view religious conformity as basic to partaking in national identity — and acceptance of Jews and Muslims is correspondingly higher.These gaps have shown resilience despite the growth of the European Union over a decade ago to include the nations of Eastern Europe, Pew notes.The analysis of the surveys also found that Central and Eastern Europeans are less accepting than their western counterparts of same-sex marriage and legal abortion.The surveys were conducted across Central and Eastern Europe in 2015 and 2016 and in Western Europe in 2017, Pew said. A separate analysis of the 24 member states of the European Union included in the studies can be found at the Pew Research Center’s website.

Amid protests, Trump lights candles at synagogue where 11 killed-As US president, family reach Pittsburgh, Jewish community deeply divided on whether to welcome him; mayor, governor, prominent Democrats skip meeting-By AP-TOI-30 October 2018

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — Paying solemn tribute to the dead, US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump stepped into the vestibule of a Pittsburgh synagogue Tuesday to light candles for the 11 people slain in the worst instance of anti-Semitic violence in American history.Outside the Tree of Life synagogue, the Trumps placed stones for each victim, a Jewish burial tradition, and placed small white roses just steps from where a gunman opened fire during Sabbath services Saturday and further shook a nation reeling from jarring expressions of political violence and hate.The rabbi accompanied them and spoke at each stop, explaining and gesturing at the stars that make up the makeshift memorial.Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner followed at a short distance, also pausing at each star.While inside the synagogue, the first couple lit candles in honor of each of those killed, the White House said. They were in the vestibule but did not enter the crime scene area.The occasion, witnessed by scores of journalists in a leafy residential street, was solemn. However, cries of protesters from just beyond the cordon were audible, including “words have meaning,” and “no more hate.”The entourage then visited the UPMC Presbyterian hospital where several of the wounded from the Tree of Life were brought.Trump stepped into the role of national consoler, a title he wears uncomfortably, as he arrived in Squirrel Hill, the neighborhood where he faced an uneasy welcome. When Air Force One touched down at the airport outside Pittsburgh, the Trumps were not greeted by the usual phalanx of local officials that typically welcomes a visiting president, a reflection of controversy surrounding the visit.The White House said Trump was coming to “express the support of the American people and to grieve with the Pittsburgh community.” But local and religious leaders were divided on whether Trump should be there.Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, a Democrat, told reporters before the visit was announced that the White House ought to consult with the families of the victims about their preferences and asked that the president not come during a funeral. Neither he nor Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf planned to appear with Trump.Stepping off the plane, Trump was trailed by his daughter Ivanka and Kushner, who are Jewish, and members of the first lady’s staff carrying white flowers. Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer also accompanied Trump.As his motorcade wound through downtown Pittsburgh, some onlookers saluted the president with upraised middle fingers and others with downturned thumbs.At a demonstration sponsored by “Jewish resistance” organization Bend the Arc, protesters marched in the heart of the city’s Jewish neighborhoods holding banners and softly singing psalms in round.As Trump’s motorcade passed the crowd, hundreds of people chanted “Turn your backs” and turned around.The White House had invited the top four congressional leaders to join Trump in Pennsylvania, but none accompanied him.A spokesman for Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he already had events in his home state of Kentucky, pushing back on the suggestion that he declined. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office said he could not attend on short notice. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also opted not to participate.Questions have long swirled about the president’s credibility as a unifier. Since his 2016 campaign for the White House, Trump has at times been slow to denounce white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and other hate-filled individuals and groups that found common cause with his nationalistic political rhetoric.Trump traveled to the historic hub of the city’s Jewish community after the first funerals were held for the victims, who range in age from 54 to 97.The death toll includes a set of brothers, a husband and wife, professors, dentists, and a physician. It was not immediately clear whether Trump would meet with any family members.Those who live in the tight-knit community were uncertain about whether they wanted the presidential visit. To Marianne Novy, Trump wasn’t wanted “unless he really changes his ways.” For David Dvir, politics should take a pause for grief: “It’s our president, and we need to welcome him.”Barry Werber, 76, who said he survived the massacre by hiding in a dark storage closet as the gunman rampaged through the building, said he hoped Trump wouldn’t visit, noting that the president has embraced the politically fraught label of “nationalist.” Werber said the Nazis were nationalists.“It’s part of his program to instigate his base,” Werber said, and “bigots are coming out of the woodwork.”Novy, 73, a retired college English professor, said she signed an open letter asking Trump not to come to Pittsburgh. “His language has encouraged hatred and fear of immigrants, which is part of the reason why these people were killed,” she said.Just minutes before the synagogue attack, the shooter apparently used social media to rage against HIAS, a Jewish organization that resettles refugees under contract with the US government.Dvir, 52, the owner of Murray Avenue Locksmith in Squirrel Hill, said of Trump: “I think he made some mistakes, but he is a great president.” He added that it would be “a shame” if the community protested the president’s visit.Asked Monday if Trump had done enough to condemn white nationalism, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president “has denounced racism, hatred and bigotry in all forms on a number of occasions.”She added: “Some individuals — they’re grieving, they’re hurting. The president wants to be there to show the support of this administration for the Jewish community. The rabbi said that he is welcome as well.”Beth Melena, campaign spokeswoman for Wolf, said the governor did not plan to return to Pittsburgh as part of Trump’s visit on Tuesday. She said he based his decision on input from the victims’ families, who told him they did not want the president to be there on the day their loved ones were being buried.“Community leaders expressed to the governor that they did not feel it was appropriate for Trump to come, so the governor made a decision not to join him on his visit out of respect for the families and the community,” Melena said.But Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who was conducting Sabbath services at the Tree of Life synagogue when the shooter opened fire, made clear the president would be welcome, telling CNN: “The president of the United States is always welcome. I am a citizen. He is my president. He is certainly welcome.”Shulamit Bastacky, 77, a Holocaust survivor and neighbor of victim Melvin Wax, expressed hope that fraught political issues and protests would not overshadow the remembrances.“This is not the place to do it,” she said. “You can do the political part everywhere else. Not at this time. This would be like desecrating those people who were killed. They were murdered because they were Jews.”“You can protest later on,” she added. “To me, it’s sacred what happened here.”

Jewish doctors treated anti-Semitic Pittsburgh gunman after rampage-Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, president of Allegheny General Hospital, says at least 3 staff members who tended to Robert Bowers are Jews-By JTA-31 October 2018
Robert Bowers, the gunman who allegedly yelled, “I want to kill all the Jews” during his attack on the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh, was treated by at least three Jewish doctors and nurses for injuries sustained in the shooting.Bowers arrived Monday in US District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on Monday in handcuffs and was pushed in a wheelchair by federal marshals, who also stood throughout the room.Bowers, who is being held without bond, waived a reading of the criminal complaint and possible penalties in Saturday’s attack in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood that left 11 worshipers dead. A public defender was appointed to represent him.Bowers was injured during a shootout with police that took place during the attack. At least three of the doctors and nurses who treated him when he arrived at Allegheny General Hospital were Jewish, hospital president Dr. Jeffrey Cohen told WTAE Action 4 News in Pittsburgh. Cohen is a member of Tree of Life Congregation, according to the report.Cohen told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review that the emergency room doctor and the registered nurse who first attended to Bowers were Jewish. The nurse, whose father is a rabbi, broke down in tears shortly after treating Bowers, Cohen said, adding, “I told him how proud I was. He went home and hugged his parents.”Cohen reportedly visited Bowers and asked him if he was in pain.US Attorney Scott Brady said federal prosecutors are seeking approval to pursue the death penalty against Bowers, according to reports.Monday’s initial hearing lasted about 10 minutes. Bowers is due again in court for a preliminary hearing on Thursday.

I lost a brother’: Pittsburgh Jewish community mourns, buries shooting victims-Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz remembered in funeral as dedicated doctor, friend; siblings Cecil and David Rosenthal recalled as ‘lovely souls’ who lived for their congregation-By Amanda Borschel-Dan and AP-30 October 2018

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — Pittsburgh’s Jewish community began burying its dead Tuesday in the wake of the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in the history of the United States.The casket of Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, a family doctor known for his caring and kindness, was brought to the Jewish Community Center in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood for the first of 11 funerals. Two police vehicles were parked at a side door, and two more were posted at the main entrance.Less than two miles away, hundreds of mourners dressed mostly in black converged on the city’s oldest and largest synagogue, Rodef Shalom, for the funeral of Cecil and David Rosenthal, intellectually disabled brothers in their 50s.At the JCC, a line stretched around the block as mourners — some in white medical coats, some wearing yarmulkes, black hats or head scarves — passed beneath the blue Romanesque arches into the brick building, an American flag nearby fluttering at half-staff.Wearing a tallit and yarmulke, Rabbi Doris Dayan from Rabinovitz’s Dor Chadash Reconstructionist community began the service by saying that “praise is the reality that helps us accept what is” and leading those assembled in the traditional prayer, “Baruch Dayan Ha’emet.”Mark, a childhood friend of Rabinowitz, said their friendship was inevitable: “We were lined up by size.”Rabinowitz, 66, had a family medicine practice and was affiliated with UPMC Shadyside hospital. The UPMC hospital system described him as one of its “kindest physicians.”Rabinowitz was a go-to doctor for HIV patients in the epidemic’s early and desperate days, a physician who “always hugged us as we left his office,” according to Michael Kerr, who credits Rabinowitz with helping him survive.“Thank you,” Kerr wrote on Facebook, “for having always been there during the most terrifying and frightening time of my life. … You are one of my heroes.”In a eulogy with more laughs than tears, the fellow doctor said that at a time when physicians became specialists, Rabinowitz became a family practitioner because of his commitment to humanity. The friend mentioned Rabinowitz’s inexpiable love for Abbot and Costello and his seriousness as a student.“Laughter was the key to our friendship, but it sometimes got us in trouble,” he says.Dr. Kenneth Selco, Rabinowitz’s medical partner, recalled their meeting over intramural football and said he felt like he had “lost a brother.”Selco joined Rabinowitz in 1986, when the AIDS epidemic was at its height. The two family practitioners ran the third largest AIDS clinic in the area. He also recalls Rabinowitz’s commitment to volunteering and charity, riding his bike hundreds of miles to raise funds.Selco closed his remarks recalling Rabinowitz’s words: “Death is not the worst outcome, long suffering is.”At Rodef Shalom, mourners remembered “the boys,” brothers Cecil and David Rosenthal.With a backdrop of colorful stained glass windows with biblical themes, Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers addressed the massive turnout, saying no matter how early he arrived to the synagogue, the brothers were already there.“If you could open up a picture dictionary and look for the definition of ‘beautiful souls,’ the pictures of Cecil and David would be there,” said the rabbi.What do you say to the grieving parents who lost their children, he wondered. “You gave us the gift of Cecil and David and we say thank you. The gift was given back too soon,” he said. Their spirits will always remain there, he said, and asked the congregation to rise for the memorial prayer, “El Maale Rachamim.”The mixed gender, interfaith congregation answered with “Amen.”Among the mourners was Kate Lederman. She grew up in the Tree of Life synagogue, where Saturday’s massacre took place, and celebrated all of her milestones there. She recently gave birth.“I was named there, bat mitzvahed there, married there. And my whole life was in that synagogue. Same with my father. And we knew Cecil and David. We knew all of them. This should be a week of pure joy having a baby, but it’s a week of terror,” she said. “We were supposed to have our baby naming there, but we’re going to do it at home.”Also paying his respects was Dr. Abe Friedman, who typically sat in the back row of Tree of Life with the Rosenthal brothers but was late to the service on Saturday and was not there when the gunman opened fire. As he stood in line at the funeral Tuesday with his wife, he wondered why he had been spared.“Why did things fall into place for me?” he asked. “I usually sit in the back row. In the last row, everyone got killed.”David, 54, and Cecil, 59, lived at a building run by Achieva, a disability-services organization that had worked with the brothers for years. David had worked with Achieva’s cleaning service and at Goodwill Industries, and Cecil was hoping to start a job soon at a workplace-services company, Achieva spokeswoman Lisa Razza told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.David was quieter than Cecil, who had a sociable personality that earned him a reputation as “the honorary mayor of Squirrel Hill,” a historic Jewish enclave in Pittsburgh.“They were lovely souls, and they lived for the congregation” at Tree of Life, said Brian Schreiber, a member who is also president of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh.A funeral was also set Tuesday for Daniel Stein, a man seen as part of the core of his congregation.Other victims’ funerals have been scheduled through Friday in a week of mourning, anguish, and questions about the rampage at Tree of Life synagogue that authorities say was carried out Saturday by a gunman who raged against Jews.US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump planned to visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday to “express the support of the American people and to grieve with the Pittsburgh community,” the White House said.The plan elicited mixed feelings in Pittsburgh.Myers, the Tree of Life rabbi, told CNN that the president is “certainly welcome,” while Democratic Mayor Bill Peduto asked Trump not to come while the city was burying its dead.Some other people, including shooting survivor Barry Werber, weren’t keen on a visit from a president who has embraced the politically fraught term “nationalist.” Some have accused the president of helping to create the corrosive political atmosphere that may have led to the violence.The man arrested in the massacre, Robert Gregory Bowers, appeared briefly Monday in federal court, where he was ordered held without bail for a preliminary hearing on Thursday. He did not enter a plea. The 46-year-old truck driver faces hate-crime charges that could bring the death penalty.The attack killed some of the synagogue’s most dedicated members. The oldest victim was 97-year-old Rose Mallinger. At 54, David Rosenthal was the youngest.Stein, 71, was a visible member of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community, where he was the men’s club president at Tree of Life. He was among a trio of members who made up the “religious heart” of New Light Congregation, one of three congregations that worship at the synagogue, co-president Stephen Cohen said.Stein’s nephew Steven Halle told the Tribune-Review that his uncle had a dry sense of humor and a willingness to help anybody.“He was somebody that everybody liked,” Halle said.

Ivanka and Kushner joining Trump on Pittsburgh visit-US peace envoy also on trip that White House says is meant to ‘express the support of the American people’ for victims of synagogue shooting-By JTA-30 October 2018

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner will accompany US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, in visiting Pittsburgh on Tuesday in the wake of the synagogue shooting that killed 11 worshipers.The addition of the president’s Jewish daughter and son-in-law to the entourage was reported Tuesday morning.They will be joined as well by White House adviser and Mideast peace negotiator Jason Greenblatt. Avi Berkowitz, assistant to the president, already is on the ground in Pittsburgh.Trump is scheduled to spend about three hours in the city. Air Force One is scheduled to land in Pittsburgh at 3:45 p.m.White House spokeswoman Sara Huckabee Sanders said Monday in announcing the president’s visit that the Trumps will “express the support of the American people and grieve with the Pittsburgh community.”“The president cherishes the American-Jewish community for everything it stands for and contributes to our country,” she said. “He adores Jewish Americans as part of his own family. The president is the grandfather of several Jewish children. His daughter is a Jewish American and his son-in-law is a descendant of Holocaust survivors.”In an interview Monday night with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump echoed that “I’m just going to pay my respects. I’m also going to the hospital to see the officers and some of the people that were so badly hurt. And I really look forward to going. I would have done it even sooner but I didn’t want to disrupt even more than they have disruption.”Trump may get a mixed reception from the Jewish community in Pittsburgh.Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, rabbi of the Tree of Life Congregation, told CNN on Monday that Trump is “always welcome.”“I’m a citizen. He’s my president. He’s certainly welcome,” the rabbi said.In contrast, the 11 members of the Pittsburgh chapter of Bend the Arc, a Jewish liberal social justice group, wrote in an open letter to Trump that he was not welcome in Pittsburgh.“For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” the letter said. “You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence.”More than 68,000 people had signed the letter, posted on the Bend the Arc website, as of Tuesday morning.The visit comes on the same day as the first victims’ funerals.Services for brothers Cecil and David Rosenthal are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. The funeral for Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz is set for 11 a.m.

In Pittsburgh's 'darkest hour,' 2,500 attend synagogue massacre memorial-[Reuters]-By Jessica Resnick-Ault and Chriss Swaney-October 29, 2018

PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Some 2,500 people gathered on Sunday at a memorial service for the 11 Jewish worshipers slain in their Pittsburgh synagogue during Sabbath prayers, a mass murder the mayor called the city's "darkest hour" while exhorting mourners to "defeat hate with love."Several speakers addressing an overflow crowd at the University of Pittsburgh's Soldiers and Sailors Hall sounded themes of inclusion and unity, in counterpoint to the rise of toxic political discourse widely seen as creating an atmosphere conducive to violence."What happened yesterday will not break us. It will not ruin us. We will continue to thrive and sing and worship and learn together and continue our historic legacy in the city with the friendliest people that I know," Rabbi Jonathan Perlman told the interfaith audience.Three members of his congregation were among those killed when a man armed with an assault rifle and three handguns on Saturday stormed the Tree of Life temple in the city's heavily Jewish Squirrel Hill neighborhood yelling "All Jews must die" as he opened fire on worshipers.In addition to the 11 mostly elderly victims who were killed, six people, including four police officers, were wounded before the suspect was arrested. Two of the surviving victims remained hospitalized in critical condition.The massacre marked the deadliest attack ever on America's Jewish community, according to the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish Council for Public Affairs.Robert Bowers, 46, who has a history of posting anti-Semitic messages online, has been charged under federal hate crime statutes, and could face the death penalty if convicted.'DEFEAT HATE WITH LOVE' "This is the darkest hour in our city's history," Mayor Bill Peduto declared during Sunday's service. "But here's another thing about Pittsburgh. We are resilient. We will work together as one. We will defeat hate with love. We will be a city of compassion and we will be welcoming to all people," he said to cheers.The auditorium of the Soldiers and Sailors Hall, a venue that seats more than 2,300, was filled to capacity with hundreds more people gathered outside the building.The names of the dead were released hours earlier. They included David Rosenthal, 54; his brother Cecil Rosenthal, 59; Sylvan Simon, 86, and his wife Bernice Simon, 84; Joyce Fienberg, 75; Richard Gottfried, 65; Jerry Rabinowitz, 66; Daniel Stein, 71; Melvin Wax, 88; and Irving Younger, 69. The eldest victim was Rose Mallinger, 97.She was among five of the slain who lived in Squirrel Hill, a quiet, leafy district with a large Jewish population. The community also was home to the late Fred Rogers, whose long-running children's television show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" featured lessons on friendship and kindness.The remaining victims were from other parts of Pittsburgh, the second-largest city in Pennsylvania after Philadelphia.The mass shooting sparked security alerts at houses of worship around the country and condemnation from politicians and religious leaders.Some complained that the confrontational, nationalistic rhetoric of U.S. President Donald Trump has encouraged right-wing extremists and fed a surge in activity by hate groups.Trump, who quickly branded Saturday's shooting an act of pure evil and called on Americans to rise above hatred, was already facing similar criticism ahead of the Nov. 6 congressional elections following a spate of pipe bombs mailed last week to some of his most prominent critics. The targets, mostly Democrats, included former U.S. President Barack Obama."Honestly I think this president's whole modus operandi is to divide us. He gets up in the morning with new and inventive ways to divide us," U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who is Jewish, said on CNN's "State of the Union" broadcast on Sunday.Trump told reporters the killings might have been prevented if there had been an armed guard. Synagogue officials said police would only normally have been present for security on high holidays.U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Fox News Sunday that federal officials visited the Pittsburgh synagogue in March to provide training on active-shooter responses.The mayor said on Sunday that keeping guns out of the hands of irrational people was a better way to prevent violence.FBI Special Agent Robert Jones told a news conference he did not know why Bowers had targeted the Tree of Life synagogue.Authorities believe the suspect entered the synagogue, opened fire on worshipers and was fleeing when he encountered a police officer, Jones said. The two exchanged gunfire, he said, and Bowers reentered the building before a police tactical squad arrived.Bowers surrendered and was taken to a hospital where he was listed in fair condition with multiple gunshot wounds.Federal prosecutors charged Bowers late on Saturday with 29 criminal counts including violating U.S. civil rights laws.Bowers' virulent anti-Semitic views were evident in prolific online postings. In one, early on Saturday, he wrote that a Jewish refugee group, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, "likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in."He is due to make his first court appearance on Monday afternoon before a federal judge in Pittsburgh.(Additional reporting by Suzannah Gonzales in Chicago, Doina Chiacu and Susan Cornwell in Washington, and Rich McKay in Atlanta; Writing by Meredith Mazzilli in New York and Steve Gorman in Los Angeles; Editing by Daniel Wallis, David Gregorio and Cynthia Osterman)

Trump blames media, 'the true Enemy of the People,' for inspiring hate-Dylan Stableford-Senior Editor-,Yahoo News-October 31, 2018

President Trump lashed out at the press Monday over criticism of his response to the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue and the earlier mail bomb plot targeting Democrats. The president blamed the news media for fanning the rhetorical flames that appear to have inspired the suspects, and he refused to take any responsibility for doing so himself.“There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news,” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets. “The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame [of] Anger and Outrage and we will then be able to bring all sides together in Peace and Harmony. Fake News Must End!”The tweets followed a similar message published on the president’s Twitter feed late Sunday night.“The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country,” Trump tweeted. “Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!”Trump’s tone in the wake of the mail bomb plot and deadly synagogue have come under intense scrutiny. The president went through with a planned political rally in Murphysboro, Ill., on Saturday night, hours after a gunman opened fire the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing 11 people and injuring six others, including four police officers.The president defended the decision to go ahead with the event, erroneously claiming that the New York Stock Exchange reopened the day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Contrary to Trump’s claim, the NYSE remained closed for the rest of the week, reopening on Sept. 17.Earlier Saturday, Trump mourned the victims of the synagogue massacre, condemning the shooting as an “evil anti-Semitic attack” and vowed to work to “extract the poison of Anti-Semitism from our world.”But late Saturday night, Trump used his Twitter feed not to refocus the nation’s attention on the synagogue shooting but instead to comment on a controversial pitching change during the World Series.Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings. It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose & dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked. 4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2018-On Sunday morning, the president tore into Tom Steyer, who was among the prominent Democrats targeted last week by a serial mail bomber.“Just watched Wacky Tom Steyer, who I have not seen in action before, be interviewed by @jaketapper,” Trump tweeted. “He comes off as a crazed & stumbling lunatic who should be running out of money pretty soon. As bad as their field is, if he is running for President, the Dems will eat him alive!”Steyer, a California billionaire who has funded an ad campaign calling for Trump to be impeached, has told friends he is considering a presidential bid in 2020.“Tom Steyer was one of the Democrats targeted with a pipe bomb by a crazed Trump supporter,” CNBC correspondent Christina Wilkie noted in a tweet. “Three days later, Trump is back to calling Steyer a ‘lunatic’ on Twitter.”On Monday morning, CNN, which was also targeted by the alleged mail bomber, said another suspicious package addressed to the network was intercepted at a mail facility in Atlanta.No @PressSec, CNN did not say @realDonaldTrump was directly responsible for the bomb sent to our office by his ardent and emboldened supporter. We did say that he, and you, should understand your words matter. Every single one of them. But so far, you don’t seem to get that. pic.twitter.com/ZbH5DQggWq— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) October 29, 2018-At the White House, press secretary Sarah Sanders defended the president’s criticism of the media during a rare press briefing on Monday afternoon.“The very first thing the president did was condemn the attacks,” Sanders said. “The very first thing the media did was blame the president and make him responsible.”Sanders also attempted to clarify Trump’s “Enemy of the People” tweet.“The president is not referencing all media,” she said. “He’s talking about the growing amount of fake news that exists in the country.”Sanders, though, refused to say which news outlets the president considers the people’s enemies.

Jewish shop owner stabbed in botched Paris robbery-Nathan Chalom Mimoun seriously injured in stabbing but now in stable condition; no signs perpetrators were motivated by anti-Semitism-By JTA-31 October 2018

A Jewish man was stabbed in his phone shop in Paris in what police are saying was a botched robbery that ended in serious injury.The incident, which the victim is expected to survive, happened Sunday night on Voltaire Boulevard in Paris, near the Bataclan night club that terrorists attacked in 2015, Le Parisien reported Monday.Nathan Chalom Mimoun, who is in his 40s, lost a significant amount of blood in the altercation from stab wounds to his arms caused by two men wearing helmets that attempted to rob him. But thanks to immediate medical intervention his condition was stabilized and is no longer life threatening.His wife, who was present during the robbery, said the robbers did not indicate that they had singled him out for violence because he is Jewish, according to Sammy Ghozlan, president of National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism.The shop, called “Nathan les bons plans,” has the Jewish name of its owner on its sign, Ghozlan noted. But the perpetrators did not “demonstrate an anti-Semitic motive. There were not anti-Semitic statements made,” Ghozlan told Le Parisien.Mimoun’s resistance forced the robbers to flee empty-handed, the report said. His injuries ended with several severed tendons that doctors worked for hours to repair.

US mosque bomb plotters blame Trump’s rhetoric for their attempted attack-Kansas militiamen ask judge to take the influence of the US president’s into consideration in sentencing them for the conspiracy, which also targeted Somali migrants-By ROXANA HEGEMAN-TOI-OCT 31,18

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) — Attorneys for Kansas militia members who conspired to bomb a mosque and apartment complex housing Somali immigrants have asked the court to take into account at a sentencing hearing next month what they called US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric encouraging violence.One has asked the judge to also consider the fact that all three men read and shared Russian propaganda on their Facebook feed designed to sow discord in the US political system.A federal jury convicted Patrick Stein, Gavin Wright and Curtis Allen of one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of conspiracy against civil rights in April. Wright was also found guilty of lying to the FBI. The attack, planned for the day after the 2016 general election, was thwarted by another member of the group who tipped off authorities about escalating threats of violence.US District Judge Eric Melgren will consider at their sentencing on November 19 and 20 how much time each man will spend in prison. Conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction carries a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, while the sentence for the civil rights violation carries no more than 10 years. The sentencing had previously been scheduled for Friday.Prosecutors are seeking life terms for all three, while defense attorneys are variously pleading for shorter terms of 15, 10 or even time served.The government pointed to the seriousness of the offense, which it says continues to have “a deep, lasting impact on the victims’ sense of security in their homes and at their mosque. It also wanted to ensure the men can never threaten the safety of the public again. And it argued for the need to send a strong deterrent message that violence against the government or any person will not be tolerated.But defense attorneys in court filings Monday and Tuesday sought to humanize their clients and spread some of the blame.“The court cannot ignore the circumstances of one of the most rhetorically mold-breaking, violent, awful, hateful and contentious presidential elections in modern history, driven in large measure by the rhetorical China shop bull who is now our president,” according to a sentencing memorandum written by attorneys representing Stein.His attorneys said Trump’s “rough-and-tumble verbal pummeling” heightened the rhetorical stakes for people of all political persuasions. Stein was an early and avid supporter for Trump, and his connection to Trump was “so complete and long-standing” that Trump’s surprising win cannot be ignored when evaluating the likelihood of an actual attack, they said.Trump’s win “changed everything” because the men’s the urgency for action and the feeling of a losing battle would be gone, they argued. Conspiracies — among them that then President Barack Obama would not relinquish power — would be disproved. He contended the discussed attack likely would never have happened in the world that existed after Trump’s election.Stein’s knowledge of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, came from the internet and conservative talk-show hosts such as Sean Hannity and Michael Savage, Stein’s attorneys wrote.The sentencing memorandum filed by attorneys for Allen is littered with examples of Russian propaganda ads found in his Facebook feed. All three men were Facebook “friends” with each other and shared, liked or posted content from groups later determined to have been created by Russian Operatives, according to the filing.Among the Russian propaganda: a photo Stein shared in February 2016 from the “Heart of Texas” Facebook group, in March 2016 Allen “liked” America’s Freedom Fighters, in October Wright shared a photo meme on Facebook created by the Facebook group “Being Patriotic.”Allen, an Iraq war veteran who suffers from PTSD and believed Muslims were the enemy, was susceptible to the influence of the social media he consumed, his attorneys argued.“He was particularly vulnerable to the social media onslaught by Russian operatives that included in 2016 themes and messages that stoked the flames on issues related to this case,” Allen’s defense attorneys wrote. “These crimes occurred during a time of high political intensity in 2016. In short, it was a perfect storm of facts and circumstances.”Defense attorneys for Wright argued that since Trump’s election the nation has seen an unprecedented increase in civil rights violence, repeatedly citing White House statements such as calling Islam “a dangerous threat” and painting Americans as “victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad.”As recently as Tuesday, when their motion was filed, his attorneys pointed to another Trump tweet saying that “some very bad people” are mixed in the South American migrant caravan and calling it is “an invasion” of the country.“As long as the Executive Branch condemns Islam and commends and encourages violence against would-be enemies, then a sentence imposed by the Judicial Branch does little to deter people generally from engaging in such conduct if they believe they are protecting their countries from enemies identified by their own Commander-in-Chief,” Wright’s lawyers wrote.

N. Ireland police probe group that posed in KKK costumes outside Islamic center-Group also seen entering local pub, taking photo with girlfriend of far-right National Front leader-By AFP-TOI-31 October 2018
BELFAST, United Kingdom — Northern Ireland police said Tuesday they were investigating as a hate crime reports that a group of nine people dressed in Ku Klux Klan costumes posed outside an Islamic center.A picture published on social media showed the group, also carrying crucifixes, close to the Bangladesh Islamic Centre in Newtownards on Saturday and there were reports of them visiting bars in the town.A pig’s head was left outside the center in August last year, British media reported.“We are treating this as a hate crime,” Inspector Richard Murray from the Police Service of Northern Ireland said in a statement.The group also posed for pictures at a pub in the town with Sharon Mellor, the girlfriend of Tony Martin, leader of the fringe far-right group National Front, the Belfast Telegraph reported.The newspaper published a picture showing Mellor with someone dressed in a KKK costume spattered with blood holding a beer.She told the paper the people were “random strangers.”“A few blokes were dressed up for Halloween, no idea who they were,” she said.The paper said Mellor “joked” three years ago about having tried to set fire to the Islamic center in the town.One of the pubs the group entered on Saturday night was The Spirit Merchant owned by JD Wetherspoon.Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “We can confirm that a group dressed in KKK clothing came to our pub.“They were refused entry by door staff, but pushed past them into the pub. They were told by bar staff that they would not be served. They remained in the pub for five minutes, unserved, and then left.”The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist group founded in the 19th century after the abolition of slavery in the United States.

Likud minister calls for ‘peace and security’ at Dubai conference-Ayoub Kara’s trip to emirate comes amid series of rare public visits by Israeli leaders to Gulf states which have no ties with Israel-By AFP-31 October 2018

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Communications Minister Ayoub Kara called for “peace and security” on Tuesday during a visit to the United Arab Emirates, as Israel launches an unprecedented diplomatic push into Gulf states.“Peace and security in every state… with economic and scientific progress is what guarantees a future for the coming generations,” Kara, a member of the ruling Likud party, said at a telecommunications conference in Dubai.Kara’s statement comes amid a diplomatic push by Israel in the mainly Sunni Gulf, which Israel sees as an ally against Shiite power Iran.It follows visits by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Oman on Thursday and Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev to Abu Dhabi at the weekend.Neither Oman nor the UAE has diplomatic ties with Israel.Normalizing ties with Israel — or recognizing it as a state — remains the most controversial policy debate in the Arab world, which largely boycotts Israel over its control of areas Palestinians claim for a future state.Regev, known for making controversial comments, on Sunday toured the famed Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi — wearing a red full-length abaya and white headscarf and speaking to the camera in Hebrew.“This is the first time that an Israeli minister is here on a visit,” Regev said, surrounded by a group of people in traditional Emirati dress.Regev also is a member of Likud.Israel’s national anthem was also played at a judo tournament in Abu Dhabi on Sunday after one of its athletes won gold — believed to be the first time the anthem has been played publicly in an Arab Gulf state.Netanyahu has long sought a rapprochement with Arab states, citing in part concerns over their common enemy Iran. Jordan and Egypt are the only two Arab states to have full diplomatic relations with Israel.Kara was speaking at the International Telecommunication Union Plenipotentiary Conference in Dubai on Tuesday.

Eighth child dies at New Jersey center hit by viral outbreak-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-October 31, 2018

(Reuters) - An eighth child has died at a New Jersey rehabilitation center where 23 people have been infected in a deadly viral outbreak, state health officials said on Friday.The outbreak of adenovirus at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Haskell, New Jersey, was first reported by the New Jersey Department of Health on Tuesday with the deaths of six children with compromised immune systems. The seventh death was announced the next day.The department said in a statement on Friday that the latest death involved a child who was "medically fragile with respiratory illness." It said it did not have laboratory confirmation of adenovirus in the child.The department said that the facility, which includes a pediatric center, had agreed not to admit new patients until the outbreak ended.Adenovirus frequently causes mild to severe illness with cold-like symptoms, particularly in young children. The infection can cause other illnesses, including pneumonia, diarrhea and bronchitis, the department said."The strain of adenovirus seen in this outbreak is associated with communal living arrangements and known to cause severe illness, especially in those with compromised immune systems," the department said on Friday.The Wanaque Center, about 32 miles (50 km) northwest of New York, serves newborns to 22-year-olds who are "medically fragile."The department said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were helping with lab tests and expertise.(Reporting by Andrew Hay in New Mexico; Editing by Bill Berkrot)
