[IsraelTimes] Tunisia has no plans to match Morocco’s decision to recognize Israel, Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi says, insisting that establishing relations with the Jewish state is "not on the agenda."
Last week, Morocco became the fourth country in the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... to recognize Israel since August, in a flurry of diplomatic deals brokered by outgoing US President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan have also recently normalized ties with Israel as part of a push that weakens the Arab world’s previously united front over the Paleostinians’ struggle for statehood.
"We respect Morocco’s choice, Morocco is a sister country that we love very much," Mechichi tells the La Belle France 24 broadcaster in an interview. But, he says, "for Tunisia, the question is not on the agenda."
Mechichi says he has not been approached by the Trump administration about the issue.
"Every country has its own reality, its own truth and its own diplomacy, which it considers best for its people," he says.
Neighboring Algeria has taken a less charitable view of the deal struck with arch-rival Morocco, under which Washington recognized Morocco’s illusory sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region in exchange for Rabat normalizing ties with Israel.
Algeria, which backs the Polisario independence movement in Western Sahara, has said the move is part of "foreign maneuvers which aim to destabilize Algeria."
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Wednesday, the Director of Moral Guidance in the Libyan National Army (LNA), Major General Khaled al-Mahjoub stated that LNA forces are committed to all signed international agreements.In press statements, al-Mahjoub added that the LNA General Command is ready to proceed with its previous agreements, including the opening of roads between the east and west of the country. He explained that the rest of the procedures for the military track are ready and awaiting the other party’s implementation.
He added that the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) was informed of the army’s readiness to achieve stability and the demands of the Libyan people, despite attempts by spoilers to upset the delicate situation.
Notably, the UN Security Council approved a proposal by Secretary-General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... to name Nickolay Mladenov as his new special envoy to Libya. Mladenov will replace Ghassan Salame, who stepped down in March due to health reasons.
The Security Council also approved the appointment of Tor Wennesland, who is set to succeed Mladenov as the UN’s Middle East envoy.
The appointments end months of bickering among UN security council members sparked by a US push to split the UN’s role in Libya, with one person running the UN political mission, and another focused on conflict mediation. The Security Council agreed to the proposal in September, with Russia and China abstaining from the vote.

[DW] The 14 defendants included the former partner of one of the attackers, weapons dealers and childhood friends. Most said they did not know of the terrorist intent and were only trying to aid in a less severe crime.
A French court on Wednesday found 14 people guilty of complicity in the January 2015 attacks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... and a kosher supermarket.

[Breitbart] Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Mattias Tesfaye has defended studying non-European migrant links to crime and employment.
Tesfaye stated that the Ministry of Immigration and Integration would be grouping non-Western countries of origin together when compare statistics for crime and unemployment rates for migrants colonists in Denmark.
One such region is the MENAPT, which included the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistain, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... A report from the ministry based on the new groupings found that female migrants colonists from the MENAPT region had an employment rate of 41.9 per cent, meaning less than half had jobs, compared to women from Thailand or Vietnam, of which 61.6 per cent were employed, Berlingske reports.
The statistics also show that young men from the MENAPT region have a much higher rate of criminal convictions at 4.6 per cent compared to other non-Western countries where the average was 1.8 per cent.
The MENAPT section of migrants colonists also accounts for 54.4 per cent of all the 516,261 non-European migrants colonists currently living in Denmark, making it a sizable bloc.
Tesfaye defended himself from criticism from some such as Halima El Abassi, chairwoman of the Council for Ethnic Minorities, who said the move divides Danes more than it unites them.
He responded by saying that the new way of looking at the statistics was "a tool that should make it easier for politicians to make decisions. By focusing on the problems as precisely as possible, it will also be easier for politicians to deal with the problems."
"I think you have to be proud of who you are and where you come from. I myself am half Æthiopian and 100 per cent Danish, and I am not afraid that people know their roots and are proud of their roots. But we as decision-makers need to get honest figures that say something about the challenges of integration," he added.
The move comes after the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... recommended that member states record ethnic statistics in order to measure the effectiveness of integration programmes and discrimination against migrants colonists.
In March, the think tank Unitos released a report that showed 62 per cent of young Somali men who had received a criminal conviction did so by the age of 30, compared to just 18 per cent of native Danes.
[Al Ahram] President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that US sanctions imposed on The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... over its purchase of Russian defence systems were an attack on Ankara's sovereign rights aimed at deterring its defence industry, a move which he said was bound to fail.
On Monday, Washington imposed the sanctions targeting NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... member Turkey's Defence Industry Directorate (SSB), its chief Ismail Demir and three other employees over its acquisition of Russian S-400 missile defence systems.In his first public comments on the move, Erdogan said that problems stemming from the sanctions would be overcome and vowed to ramp up efforts towards an independent defence industry, while criticising Washington for sanctioning a NATO ally.
"What kind of alliance is this? What kind of partnership is this? This decision is an open hostile attack against our country's sovereign rights," he said in a televised address.
"The real goal is to block the advances our country started in the defence industry recently and to once again render us absolutely dependent on them," he added.
"Surely there will be problems, but each problem will push open a door for us for a solution."
Washington says the S-400s pose a threat to its F-35 fighter jets and to NATO's broader defence systems. Turkey rejects this and says S-400s will not be integrated into NATO. On Wednesday, Erdogan repeated that the U.S. concerns had no technical basis.

Go to: Languages of Afghanistan - Wikipedia
It demonstrates better than anything the reason behind the Pak effort to incorporate the Pashto speaking peoples of Afghanistan.
#2
Pakistani society is notoriously communal and discriminates against speakers of languages other than urdu and punjabi, which are the language of the current Paki elite.
They see the pashtun man as useful only for menial jobs, easily recruited muscle; their desperate insecure children as prostitutes or third wives, etc. Even the taliban clergy who reside safely in Pakistan consider the common Afghan as no more than pack mules, something to use and destroy on whim.
Islamabad's endgame with Afghanistan is not assimilation. They profit only from western presence in the region and naive attempts to create 'liberal democracy' where no concept of it exists. All the Pak elite [international criminals all of 'em] care about is the flow of opium, bodies and trainees for the jihad. They have tried to cozy up to the Ladens and Omars and Baradars to try and control them, but to no avail. Because every islamic kingdom from qatar to Indonesia sees the Pakis as insects. The pashtun warlords too hate them, they understand their intentions and know what they think of them. They, consummate muslims that they are, seek to simply benefit from the largesse filtered through the ISI coffers, the bribes and payments by American alphabeteers [those reporting back to the Farm that everything will soon be fine], and now from even the CPC. China has already bought lasting proxies in Kabul and deals with the taliban through the ISI because they have repeatedly inserted themselves as 'taliban dog handlers'. Yes that is what they're called in the Guoanbu.
In fact in the ideal outcome for the Pakis, the Afghans should be reduced to menial servants and whores this side of the border and unpaid labour for the Chinese OBOR initiative.
Sadly, India could have helped. If we only we could find our balls tucked away somewhere.

^ Except these aren't the soft targets the Nazis had, Rambler. They are all corrupt, ravaging hordes, rabid islamic dregs of humanity. Way tougher and deadlier than the average Paki.
All they want 'democratic government' for is because it's a great gravy train, without the hard work you've gotta put in knocking on doors and extorting people. They'll just as easily stab you in the back and cut off your head as they'll smoke your peace pipe for you. The ISI will not control the pathan. Nothing can.
With a little tact, we could set these two wild hogs against each other. Sunni against sunni, pashtun against punjabi, balochi against pashtun. Make it all a warzone through which china may never move its goods. If only our polities were not so taken with retarded humanism.

Your analysis is wonderful. Too bad there aren't any who think like you in our so-called intelligence agencies. The Brits could play the game to that beggardly region. Too bad, we can't.

[DAILYTIMES.PK] The Indian Army is planning yet another false flag operation on the pretext of fake encounter of three Kashmiri detainees, already held in Police custody at Kishtwar District of IOJK, security sources said Wednesday.
The operation is aimed at "crafting fabricated stories against Pakistain," the source said.
According to details some of the already confiscated weapons were likely to be displayed as recovery from Marwah or Metwan area of Kishtwar District, in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (IOJK).
According to details the Indian local commander in Kishtwar District has already spoken to Senior Superintendent of Police of the area regarding the detainees; Ghulam Hussain, Iqbal Lone and Bashir Matu.
The Indian army is notorious for conducting similar false flag operations in the past.

Idiots.
When the police has them in custody, means they're safe from the Army. And who plans 'false flag' actions on one's own soil?
[JPOST] Outgoing Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Zvi Hauser confirmed on Monday that Israel was negotiating indirectly with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, for the return of two Israeli civilians and the remains of two soldiers in exchange for the release of Paleostinian prisoners and the transfer of civilian aid to the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip.
"As part of my position, I have been privy to all the details," said Hauser, who also serves as chairman of the Knesset’s subcommittee that deals with POWs and MIAs. "This is an outrageous deal... that will allow hundreds of faceless myrmidons to return to terrorist activity."
We agree with Hauser, who was fired this week together with his Derech Eretz colleague, Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel, by Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) for announcing that they were joining Gideon Sa’ar’s new party.
Releasing hundreds of Paleostinian prisoners, some of whom are apparently security prisoners serving time for terrorist activity, is not something the government should be contemplating. As Hauser correctly said, the proposed deal would put "hundreds of faceless myrmidons back in the cycle of terror."
Hauser’s comments came after Hamas officials told the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar that Israel had made an offer via an Egyptian intelligence delegation that met with Hamas leaders in Gaza to promote a prisoner exchange.
According to the report, Israel has been negotiating with Hamas through the Egyptian mediators to release two civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, and the remains of St.-Sgt. Shaul Oron and Lt. Hadar Goldin, two soldiers believed to have been killed in action during 2014’s Operation Protective Edge.
Mengistu, an Æthiopian Israeli, crossed the border into Gaza in September 2014, while al-Sayed, a Bedouin who served in the IDF for several months before being discharged, crossed the border in April 2015. Their families say they both have mental health issues, which are likely to have worsened under Hamas captivity.

Just buy a batch of polonium from Vlad and treat them to some nice, sweet shay tea.
[AnNahar] The Lebanese Army on Tuesday warned citizens against accepting Facebook friend requests from Israel’s Mossad spy agency.
"A number of citizens have received Facebook friend requests and messages carrying the name of the Mossad and coming from the intelligence agency of the Israeli enemy," an army statement said.
The messages "included invitations to join the agency and communicate with it," the statement added.
"The Army Command warns citizens against being lured by these attempts and calls for refraining from heeding and responding to these requests under penalty of facing legal prosecution," it cautioned.
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... said on Wednesday he was happy that Donald Trump ...Oh, noze!

"We are not overjoyed about Mr. Biden’s arrival, but we are happy about Trump leaving," Rouhani said in a televised speech to the cabinet.
