11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA,ARAB,MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDIA ARABIA)(JORDAN) and the merchants of Tarshish,(ENGLAND) with all the young lions thereof,(USA,CANADA,AUSTRALIA,NEW ZEALAND,EU,ENGLAND,ENGLISH SPEAKING shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

LAST NIGHT AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK THE GENOCIDAL HAMAS MURDERER PROTESTERS DECIDED THEY WANTED TO SMASH WINDOWS AND HANG A JIHAD INTIFADA FLAG SIGN ON THE ACADEMIC HALL. THEN THE GENOCIDAL ISLAMIC COCKROACH PROTESTERS ENTERED THE HAMILTON HALL BUILDING AND OCCUPIED THE BUILDING. AND AS I WRITE AT 9.07AM THE GENOCIDAL OCCUPIER PROTESTERS STILL OCCUPY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LAND.YESTERDAY THE SO CALLED BOSS OF COLUMBIA Minouche Shafik Shafik was born in Alexandria, Egypt.THE ARAB GENOCIDAL LEADER OF COLUMBIA) SAID ANYBODY WITH GENOCIDAL TENTS ON UNIVERSITY OCCUPIED LAND WILL BE BANNED FROM SCHOOL AT 2PM. 2PM CAME AND WENT. AND THIS ARAB COCKROACH LEADER OF COLUMBIA DONE NOTHING TO THE GENOCIDAL PROTESTER ISRAEL HATERS.

Pro-Israel demonstration at UCLA screens October 7 images-‘Intifada’: Anti-Israel protesters break into Columbia campus building and seize it-University suspends students who refused to remove tents by deadline; protesters smash windows, occupy Hamilton Hall, which is encircled by hundreds; school urges avoiding campus-By ToI Staff and Agencies Today, 3:07 pm-APR 30,24

Protesters at Columbia University, the epicenter of anti-Israel protests that have upended college campuses across the United States, broke into a building on the New York school’s campus on Tuesday, barricaded themselves inside and unfurled an “intifada” banner from a window.Videos and photos from Hamilton Hall showed at least one individual smashing a window with a hammer.Doors to the building were shut and blocked from inside with tables, chairs, metal barricades and other objects or sealed with locks, zip ties or ropes by dozens of protesters, the student paper reported.According to the Columbia Spectator, demonstrators also allegedly held workers there against their will for a short period of time.The newspaper reported that a maintenance worker exited the building at 12:40 a.m. after yelling to be released, telling the crowd as he left that he had been “held hostage” inside. Three other workers reportedly left some 30 minutes later after the barricades blocking one door were removed.Dozens of protesters rallied outside the building, forming a human chain to block the doors, and chanted slogans seen by many as anti-Israel, including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”A group calling themselves the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) declared on X that the activists had “reclaimed” Hamilton Hall and renamed it “Hind Hall in honor of Hind Rajab, a martyr murdered at the hands of the genocidal Israeli state at the age of six years old.”An Israel Defense Forces investigation in February, immediately after the Gazan girl’s body was found, said there were no troops in the area at the time of her death.Photos shared on social media also showed a Palestinian flag unfurled from a window of the building, as well as banners reading “Intifada” and “Gaza Calls Columbia Falls.”For Israelis, the Arabic word “intifada,” literally “uprising,” conjures traumatic memories of mass waves of deadly terror attacks in 1987-1993 and again in the early 2000s.An INTIFADA flag is hung from Hamilton Hall, Columbia University-Intifada is an armed terrorist uprising fyi. America take back control of your universities and arrest their asses. And stop the radicalisation of your youth! pic.twitter.com/pYGqdWcZoT— Brian BJ (@iamBrianBJ) April 30, 2024-Protestors said they planned to remain at the hall until the university agreed to meet the CUAD’s three demands: divestment, financial transparency and amnesty.As the hours went on, hundreds gathered outside to rally in support of the occupation of the building.The Columbia Spectator reported that New York City police officers in unmarked cars were present outside the building, though it was unclear if police had been invited onto the campus by university authorities.In a statement on Tuesday, the university asked staff and students to stay away from its main campus amid the demonstration.“In light of the protest activity on campus, members of the University community who can avoid coming to the Morningside campus today should do so,” the statement said, adding that essential staff should report to work although access to the campus and some buildings may be restricted.Students at Columbia University have occupied Hamilton hall. Today the university president explicitly said to students the school would not be divesting and threatened to suspend students protesting. The last time this building was taken over by student protesters was in 1968 pic.twitter.com/IhoWVYlocB— Lama Al-Arian (@lalarian) April 30, 2024-The latest demonstration came hours after Columbia began suspending student protesters on Monday when they defied an ultimatum to disperse.The suspensions followed almost two weeks of protests against Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza that have swept through higher education institutions from coast to coast, at times veering into antisemitism and intimidation of Jewish students. Around 100 protesters were first arrested at the prestigious New York university on April 18.Hamilton Hall was previously occupied by students protesting the Vietnam War in 1968 and again by anti-apartheid activists in 1985.Widening campus unrest-Meanwhile at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where opposing protesters clashed over the weekend, pro-Israeli activists set up a large screen and loudspeakers to play a taped loop of images from the Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel, which saw thousands of terrorists burst across the border, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.The video appeared aimed at countering pro-Hamas chants that have seeped into campus protests in support of Palestinians in Gaza.UCLA also stepped up security around the pro-Palestinian encampment there, consisting of more than 50 tents surrounded by metal fencing near the main administration building on campus.At Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, police and protesters clashed as officers moved in after nightfall Monday to break up an encampment.Local TV aired video of police in riot gear dousing demonstrators, many of whom the university said were not students, with what appeared to be pepper spray, and making arrests.Students have stormed and taken the Cabell Library Building at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.Charge them.pic.twitter.com/nrCTNfeb4A-Also Monday, dozens of officers in riot gear at the University of Utah sought to break up an encampment outside the university president’s office that went up in the afternoon.Police dragged students off by their hands and feet, snapping the poles holding up tents and zip-tying those who refused to disperse. Seventeen people were arrested.The university said it was against code to camp overnight on school property, and that the students had been given several warnings to disperse before police were called in.At the University of Southern California, organizers of a large encampment sat down with university president Carol Folt for about 90 minutes on Monday. Folt declined to discuss details but said she heard the concerns of protesters and talks would continue Tuesday.USC sparked a controversy April 15 when officials refused to allow the valedictorian, who has publicly supported Palestinians and has a controversial social media history, to make a commencement speech, citing nonspecific security concerns for their rare decision. Administrators then scrapped the keynote speech by filmmaker Jon M. Chu, who is an alumnus, and declined to award any honorary degrees.The backlash, as well as the demonstrations at Columbia, inspired the encampment and protests on the USC campus last week, where 90 people were arrested by police in riot gear. USC has now canceled its main graduation event.Administrators elsewhere tried to salvage their commencements and several have ordered the clearing of encampments in recent days. When those efforts have failed, officials threatened discipline, including suspension, and possible arrest.In a rare case, Northwestern University said it had reached an agreement with students and faculty who represent the majority of protesters on its campus near Chicago.It will allow peaceful demonstrations through the June 1 end of spring classes and in exchange, required removal of all tents except one for aid and restricted the demonstration area to allow only students, faculty and staff, and university-approved exceptions.While pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests have been held regularly on US campuses since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, the demonstrations drew renewed attention after Columbia protesters set up their encampment earlier this month.After the NYPD removed the encampment and arrested more than 100 protesters, demonstrators at other universities around the country and in Europe erected their own encampments and the Columbia one was reassembled.Protest organizers deny accusations of antisemitism, arguing that their actions are aimed at the Israeli government and its prosecution of the conflict in Gaza. They also claim the more threatening incidents have been engineered by non-student agitators.

China: Hamas, Fatah showed ‘political will’ for reconciliation in recent Beijing talks-Chinese Foreign Ministry says rival Palestinian groups made ‘positive progress,’ agreed on further talks to ‘achieve the realization of Palestinian solidarity and unity’By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 12:00 pm-APR 30,24

China said Tuesday that representatives from Hamas and Fatah met in Beijing recently for “in-depth and candid talks on promoting intra-Palestinian reconciliation.”“Representatives of the Palestine National Liberation Movement and the Islamic Resistance Movement recently came to Beijing,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, referring to the rival Palestinian factions by their formal names.“The two sides fully expressed their political will to achieve reconciliation through dialogue and consultation, discussed many specific issues and made positive progress,” he added, without specifying when the representatives had met.“They agreed to continue the course of talks to achieve the realization of Palestinian solidarity and unity at an early date,” he said, noting that both sides had thanked Beijing for its efforts to “promote Palestinian internal unity and reached an agreement on further dialogue.”Terror group Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah, which administers the West Bank, in a 2007 coup. International efforts since then have so far failed to reconcile the two factions.In March, Russia hosted the two groups, along with other Palestinian factions, to discuss the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and governance plans for an eventual postwar period.Also in March, Russia and China both exercised their veto power in the United Nations Security Council to block a US-backed resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal.Beijing said that the draft “dodged the most central issue, that of a ceasefire” through its “ambiguous” language, while Moscow claimed that the “exceedingly politicized” resolution contained an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where more than half of the Strip’s 2.3 million residents have been sheltering amid the ongoing war.China has historically been sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and supportive of a two-state solution.Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for an “international peace conference” to resolve the fighting, and Beijing has been calling for an immediate ceasefire since war erupted in Gaza after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw terrorists burst across the border into Israel, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages.Vowing to destroy Hamas and return the hostages, Israel launched a wide-scale offensive in Gaza which Hamas-run health authorities say has killed at least 34,450 people in the Gaza Strip.These figures cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires.

Cop moderately hurt in Jerusalem stabbing; assailant, a Turkish visitor, shot dead-34-year-old foreign national knifes Border Police officer in Old City-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 2:22 pm-APR 30,24

A police officer was moderately wounded in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City, authorities said Tuesday. The assailant, a Turkish national, was shot dead.According to police, the 34-year-old Turkish man, apparently a tourist, rushed at a Border Police cop near the Herod’s Gate entrance and stabbed him in the upper body.The wounded man was taken by the Magen David Adom ambulance service to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in the capital, which said he was conscious and in moderate condition.The officer who was stabbed and another cop in the area returned fire at the assailant, killing him, police added.It is extremely rare for a foreign national to carry out an attack in Israel, with no such incidents taking place in recent memory.A large number of forces, including police’s Jerusalem District chief Doron Turgeman, were at the scene holding an assessment and collecting evidence, law enforcement officials said.The attack comes a week after three people were lightly wounded in a car-ramming terror attack at two separate locations in Jerusalem. The two alleged perpetrators, Palestinian teenagers, were captured after a brief manhunt.Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have soared since October 7, when terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel in a Hamas-led attack, killing at least 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages.

Explainer-What is the International Criminal Court and why does it worry Israeli leaders? Amid reports that top UN court will issue arrest warrants for senior officials, Netanyahu has vowed Israel won’t accept ‘any attempt to undermine its inherent right of self-defense’
By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 12:14 pm-APR 30,24

Israeli officials sound increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court could issue arrest warrants for some of the country’s leaders nearly seven months into the war in Gaza, sparked by Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has written in general terms of his opposition to ICC action against officials and Israel Defense Forces troops, and the Foreign Ministry has said it is also tracking reports of pending action.The ICC was established in 2002 as the permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the world’s most heinous atrocities – war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression.The Rome Statute creating the ICC was adopted in 1998 and entered into force when it got 60 ratifications on July 1, 2002. The UN General Assembly endorsed the ICC, but the court is independent.Without a police force, the ICC relies on member states to arrest suspects, which has proven to be a major obstacle to prosecutions.Netanyahu said Friday on the social platform X that Israel “will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defense.”“While the ICC will not affect Israel’s actions, it would set a dangerous precedent,” he wrote.The Foreign Ministry said late Sunday that it had informed missions abroad of “rumors” that the court could order the arrest of senior political and military officials. The ministry did not give a source for the rumors.Israeli and foreign officials reportedly believe the ICC is weighing arrest warrants for Hamas leaders as well.In a statement emailed to The Associated Press, the court’s prosecution office declined to comment in detail.What is the ICC? The ICC’s 124 member states have signed on to the Rome Statute.Dozens of countries did not sign and do not accept the court’s jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide and other crimes.They include Israel, the United States, Russia and China.The ICC becomes involved when nations are unable or unwilling to prosecute crimes on their territory. Israel argues that it has a functioning court system, and disputes over a nation’s ability or willingness to prosecute have fueled past disputes between the court and individual countries.In 2020, then-US president Donald Trump slapped economic and travel sanctions on the ICC prosecutor and another senior prosecution office staffer. The ICC staff were looking into US and allies’ troops and intelligence officials for possible war crimes in Afghanistan.US President Joe Biden, whose administration has provided Israel with crucial military and political support in its war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, lifted the sanctions in 2021.The ICC has 17 ongoing investigations, has issued a total of 42 arrest warrants and taken 21 suspects into custody. Its judges have convicted 10 suspects and acquitted four.In its early years, the court was criticized for focusing on crimes in Africa — 10 of its investigations are in African nations — but now it has investigations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.What is the ICC’s relationship to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza? The UN General Assembly raised the Palestinian Authority’s status in 2012 from a UN observer to a non-member observer state. That opened the door for the PA to join international organizations, including the ICC.The ICC accepted “The State of Palestine” as a member in 2015, a year after the Palestinians accepted the court’s jurisdiction.The court’s chief prosecutor at the time, Fatouh Bensouda, announced in 2021 that she was opening an investigation into possible crimes in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. That investigation starts from June 13, 2014 — one day after Palestinian terrorists kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank, meaning the ICC will not look into the crimes that sparked Israel’s Operation Protective Edge that summer.Israel often levels accusations of bias at UN and international bodies, and Netanyahu slammed the decision to probe “fake war crimes” as hypocritical and antisemitic.Current ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ramallah and Israel in December, meeting Palestinian Authority officials and families of Israelis killed or taken hostage by Hamas terrorists in the October 7 massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages amid amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.At the time, Khan called Hamas’s actions “some of the most serious international crimes that shock the conscience of humanity, crimes which the ICC was established to address,” and called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.Khan said “international humanitarian law must still apply” in the Gaza war and “the Israeli military knows the law that must be applied.”After the visit, Khan said an ICC investigation into possible crimes by Hamas terrorists and IDF forces “is a priority for my office.” Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Khan visits a Gaza border town attacked by Hamas, on December 3, 2023.
