they’re the responsible ones.
Not nearly as responsible as Mexico is for all of the illegals who cross the border into America as a deliberate tool of Mexico’s Reconquista plan, not to mention the entire illegal drugs business run by Mexico’s coddled narco gangs, and any and all other crimes done by those who came through with the connivance of the Mexican authorities at all levels, Aca Joe.
Still, it’s interesting that you think that the Al Qaeda jihadi organization has no independent agency, but is merely an innocent tool at the hand of Jews and Jew-lovers.
[KhaamaPress] The Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s acting Defense Minister said on Sunday that Pakistain had allowed its airspace to be used by US drones to enter and attack Afghanistan, a claim Pakistain has since refuted in the wake of an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... by the US in Kabul, the Afghan capital.
Before noon on Sunday, August 28, Mullah Yaqoub and the Chief of Staff of the Taliban’s military forces held a presser during which the Defense official claimed that US drones were using Pakistain’s territory and airspace to attack Afghanistan.
He emphasized that the use of drones to patrol Afghanistan’s airspace is a clear transgression of the country’s borders.
"We [the Taliban] ask Pakistain, don’t use your airspace against us," Mullah Yaqoub said.
Pak officials, on the other hand, have denied any involvement in or knowledge of a July drone operation in Kabul that the US claimed killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri ...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra... Previously, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was purportedly killed in a CIA drone attack in Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, according to US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... , who broke the news in a live broadcast.
The US stated that two Hellfire missiles fired from a drone killed the al-Qaeda chief while causing little damage elsewhere, preventing non-combatant fatalities.
The Taliban’s acting Defense Minister’s remarks come at a time when the group mediates the peace talks between the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), aka Pak Taliban, and the government of Pakistain.

[ShabelleMedia] Al-Shabaab ...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them... listed a raft of demands from Kenya after William Ruto was declared the President-elect in the August 9 General Election.
In the statement dated Saturday, August 27, and titled ’Kenya at a Crossroads,’ the militia demanded for a change in the foreign policy in a bid to prevent further deployment of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officers to Somalia.
It argued that KDF’s continued stay in Somalia made no sense since its objectives were yet to be met 11 years on.
"It has been 11 years since Kenya invaded Somalia. To this day, however, the Kenyan military did not achieve any of its initial goals of the invasion.
"The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) remain besieged in their bases, unable to leave their bunkers. They are also incapable of conducting any effective military operations against the Mujahideen," read the statement in part.
The militia also expressed their contempt for the silence portrayed by Ruto and his rival, Raila Odinga over the foreign policy issue during the campaign period.
The group claimed that the policy as is posed detrimental risks between Somalia and Kenya and needed to be revised.
"Throughout their election campaigns, the presidential candidates deliberately avoided addressing Kenya’s deteriorating security situation as well as their military invasion of Somalia. Kenyan politicians, it seems, are willing to persist upon the path of war to fulfil the interests of their western masters, putting the lives of their citizens at risk and the interest of their country in jeopardy," continued the statement.
The KDF invasion in Somalia kicked off in 2011 after the Kenyan troops seized Kismayu from Al-Shabaab’s grip.
The intense training, titled Operation Sledgehammer, took place in Baringo County, Rift Valley before deployment.
Since the Port of Kismayu was secured in October 2012, the navy has been working hand in hand with the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and Æthiopian Forces to secure the city which is the main sea entry point into the war-torn country.
In the last 10 years, Al-Shabaab has lodged over four attacks in Kenya including Westgate Mall, DusitD2, Mpeketoni and Garissa University.

The authority stated in a statement today, Sunday, that the kidnapped fishermen are from Mocha district of Taiz province and al-Khokha district of Hodeidah province, among them 23 who were not even of legal age, all of whom were fishing in the territorial waters of the Republic of Yemen.
The statement emphasised that the detained fishermen were taken to a camp on the Eritrean coast, and their property and fishing equipment, which are the only sources of livelihood for them and their families, were confiscated.
In its statement, the authority denounced the continued silence of the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... , its humanitarian organizations and the international community towards the criminal practices of Eritrean pirates against defenseless Yemeni fishermen.
The authority called for urgent action to release the detained fishermen and their fishing equipment, and to work to stop all recurring criminal acts against all fishermen.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Ministry of Interior in Sana’a on Sunday announced the strengthening of the security system with a new weapon that will enter service in the coming days.
The official front man for the ministry, Brigadier General Abdulkhaleq al-Ajri, confirmed that a new armoured vehicle from the pride of the local industry will be unveiled under the name (BAAS 2), which will enter service in the coming days.
Brigadier General al-Ajri said, in a press statement, that the "BAAS 2" armoured vehicle was locally manufactured and equipped with the latest technologies and equipment, and it will be a great source of support for the coppers, and a deterrent to anyone who seeks to harm the security and stability of the country.
The front man indicated that the BAAS 2 armoured vehicle comes two years after the launch of work with the "BAAS 1" armoured vehicles, which was announced by the Ministry in December 2020.
Al-Ajri praised the efforts of the Security Manufacturing Unit, which comes in response to the implementation of the revolutionary leadership’s directives, and in fulfillment of the motto of the martyr al-Samad (a hand builds and a hand protects).
He stressed that the Ministry of Interior is moving forward in development, industrialization and construction until achieving self-sufficiency.

Scare quotes in the headline are mine — nowadays far right is the establishment’s preferred label for anything accused of being populist.
[IsraelTimes] Sweden’s right-wing bloc now willing to work with party, forecast to be second largest in upcoming vote, after it previously was shunned over historic ties to neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... movements
Sweden’s far-right Sweden Democrats have surged in polls ahead of legislative elections in two weeks, reflecting growing support for the party’s anti-immigration policies and tough stance on crime.
The party has the second largest share of voter support ahead of the September 11 vote, trailing the ruling Social Democrats, which have dominated Swedish post-war politics.
The Sweden Democrats polled between 20 and 23 percent in three different surveys published this week, overtaking the conservative Moderate party in the close race.
Candidates have been vying for support among voters who say that crime is a top concern, followed by immigration and segregation issues.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s Social Democrats enjoyed a lead with around 30 percent of voter support, according to the polls.
Her party, long defenders of the country’s cherished welfare state, has in recent years curbed immigration and campaigned on tackling gang-related crime.
The conservative Moderate party, traditionally the second most popular party, came in third with between 16 and 18 percent of voter support.
Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson is challenging Andersson for the post of prime minister.
Sweden has struggled to contain deadly shootings and bombings that have soared in recent years, many linked to gang rivalries or organized criminals battling over the drug market.
The far-right Sweden Democrats have been shunned since entering parliament in 2010 over their historic ties to neo-Nazi movements.
But with violence and crime dominating voters’ concerns, the right-wing bloc, made up of the Moderates, Christian Democrats and Liberals, is now ready to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats to wrest power from the Social Democrats.
The Social Democrats are meanwhile relying on support from the Left, Centre and Green parties, with the two blocs neck-and-neck in the polls.

Doesn't matter, the power clique in government will join hands to lock out any party that represents the people. Their interests are power, pure and simple. They do not share power.

/\ ....questioned in 2018, whether Jews belonged to the Swedish nation.
The Jewish question aside, a little more "questioning," thoughtful examination of trends and outcomes might not be a bad thing along our border with Mexico. A few countries in Europe as well.
BTW, while seldom spoken about, the Jewish exodus from South Africa might be an interesting study. What they brought to the party and birthing of a nation was significant. Their departure, significant as well, but not in good way.

The peculiar thing about antisemitism is that it finds a home at most points on the political spectrum, especially at the left and right extremes
Of course, it's been noted by many political commentators that if you go far enough to one extreme, it begins to resemble the other extreme.

...Antisemitism is not owned by any particular part of the political spectrum as numerous Lefties in the US all too often demonstrate. Got to remember that the media crowd who label things think that the National Socialist Workers Party was 'Right' and not Left thanks to decades of dishonest academics.

^ The way the media works it is, if any member of the party or institution is an antisemite, that means the entire party or institution is far right. If the person happens to belong to a leftist party or institution, no such "bad apple spoils the barrel" association is made.

Call me when the Swedish Navy offloads infantry near
Lindisfarne. Until then, I'll view their domestic concerns and comments as isolationist and generally motivated by trends and a desire for cultural survival. Which, in my view, we here in the States could do well to study a bit closer while we still can.

European Conservative, which Swedish political party banned kosher slaughter, which wants to ban non-medical male circumcision, which loves the Palestinians and hates Israel?
Ditto for the other countries re: banned or is working to ban kosher slaughter, the importation of meat slaughtered in the kosher manner, male non-medical circumcision, loves the Palestinians and hates Israel.
As far as I can see, the Left and Center-Left in Europe are all in on doing all the things that make living Jewishly impossible while claiming to love and support their Jewish population.
There are plenty on the Right who are in agreement with all this, but many others who admire Israel, which is better than nothing.

[Shafaq News] The Kata'ib Hezbollah movement on Sunday urged the Sadrist movement to refrain from escalation ahead of the Arbaeen, denying ties to the bombardment of the US military bases in Syria.
In a blog he shared on Telegram, the head of the security file in the Iran-backed paramilitary group, Abu Ali al-Askari, called the "political rivals and competitors" to avoid escalations ahead of the Arbaeen of Imam Hussein and rein in "media mercenaries".
"The Kata'ib Hezbollah did not exchange bombardment with the American invaders last week, neither in Iraq nor Syria," he said, "the Ottoman Turkish forces shall be removed from Iraq. This should be achieved in two phases: the first, evacuating the advanced bases. The second, clearing the border areas from their mercenaries."
"The resistance and their comrades can do it," he concluded.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) claimed on Saturday responsibility for targeting a fighter of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.
ISIS-run Amaq News Agency published a statement saying, "Gunmen from the organization rubbed out Yassin al-Nasser, an SDF fighter, with a silencer pistol, near the main road in the town of al-Suwar, north of Deir ez-Zor."
The statement pointed out that the ISIS button men targeted al-Nasser for being a member of the SDF.
The countryside of Deir ez-Zor witnesses an increase in cases of liquidation, targeting members of the SDF, employees of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), tribal leaders and civilians, despite the intensive security operations launched by the SDF.
The AANES was first formed in 2014 in the Kurdish-majority regions of Afrin, Kobani and Jazira in northern Syria following the withdrawal of the government forces. Later, it was expanded to Manbij, Tabqa, Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor after the SDF defeated ISIS militarily there.
On the same day, ISIS grabbed credit for 23 attacks in different countries; three of them were carried out in Syria, two were in Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria, and the third was in Deir ez-Zor.
