ed Palestine at the beginning of the 20th century, and saw that Palestine is inhabited, teeming with life, and brimming with a culture that has strong historical roots, he said: "Where will we establish our projected (state)? We must turn Palestine into a land with no people, by depopulating it. 

He used very racist terms. He said: "We must exterminate them. We must throw them in the deserts or jungles of Africa and let wild beasts devour them."

Th purpose was to depopulate Palestine, and bring in the Jews from all over the world….

The Jews have no connection to the (Middle) East, to Palestine, or to the Semite race."

He at least has some fresh ideas on who's behind who. It is not, apparently, the Jews who are behind the US, but the Americans and Europeans who are behind the Jews, using them as part of their wicked colonial enterprise. Well, makes a change…

na – a common instruction in these kinds of calls.

Reports of this type of intimidation are not new, but Uyghur activists say China has become more aggressive in response to growing outrage over alleged rights abuses in Xinjiang. The Chinese government has gone on the attack in public in recent weeks, directing a slew of misogynistic abuse specifically at women who have spoken up about alleged sexual abuse.

At recent press conferences, China's foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin and Xinjiang official Xu Guixiang held up pictures of women who gave first-hand accounts of sexual assault in detention camps and called them "liars"; said one was "morally depraved" and of "inferior character"; and accused another of adultery. One woman was branded a "bitch of bad moral quality" by a former husband in what appeared to be a staged video put out by state media; another was called a "scumbag" and "child abuser" by a Chinese official.

And here is the charming Wang Wenbin:

Meanwhile the BBC's John Sudworth, who's reported on the Uighur repression and on Wuhan and the virus, has "left China and moved to Taiwan following pressure and threats from the Chinese authorities".

ort-“>Ross Clark in the Spectator:

The WHO-China study further argues that a laboratory accident is implausible because biosecurity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is so tight. The resort does, however, contain an interesting nugget: 'The Wuhan CDC laboratory moved on 2 December 2019 to a new location near the Huanan market. Such moves can be disruptive for the operations of any laboratory.' 

In other words, a laboratory that was known to be working with SARS-type viruses, and to have isolated very similar viruses, happened to move one of its laboratories to a building close to a market where, a few weeks later, a disease caused by a novel SARS virus broke out. You can make your own mind up, and of course, we have no conclusive proof either way on this theory or on any of the other theories, but does the theory of a laboratory accident really deserve to be dismissed so lightly?

It must be enormously disheartening for South Korea's President Moon. His dearest wish has always been for some kind of rapprochement with the North, yet all they do is hurl insults at him. This time it's the Respected Comrade's not-quite-so-respected sister:

Kim Jong-un’s younger sister has attacked the leader of South Korea, describing him as a “parrot raised by America” over his criticism of Pyongyang’s ballistic missile launches.

Kim Yo-jong, 33, tipped as a successor to her brother, said of President Moon: “We can hardly repress astonishment at his shamelessness. Such illogical and brazen-faced behaviour of South Korea is exactly the same as the gangster-like logic of the US faulting the right of the DPRK [North Korea] to self-defence as a violation of the UN ‘resolutions’ and ‘threats’ to the international community,” she said in a statement published by the North’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

“He cannot feel sorry for being ‘praised’ as a parrot raised by America. This could be what is described as self-contradictory and being caught in one’s own trap.”

Moon had called North Korea’s actions “undesirable” after Pyongyang admitted that it had fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan.

Moon and Kim held a number of meetings in 2018 but relations between the two countries have soured again since the North has continued to conduct missile tests and intensified its rhetoric against South Korea, Japan and the United States.

She does come up with some baffling comments, Kim Yo-jong. A couple of weeks back she warned Biden not to cause a stink, adding a gnomic, "Whatever the South will do by following its master, it will not be easy that the warm spring days of three years that it strongly wants will return". And now, “He cannot feel sorry for being ‘praised’ as a parrot raised by America. This could be what is described as self-contradictory and being caught in one’s own trap.” Eh?

Maybe her phrases lose something in translation – or maybe she's just not much of an attack dog, and if she wasn't Kim Jong-un's sister, and of the sacred Mt Paektu bloodline, we could all happily ignore the stupid woman.

It's come to this:

A teacher accused of showing pupils a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad fears that he and his family are “all going to be killed”, his father said.

The incident during a religious studies lesson on Monday last week at Batley Grammar School, West Yorkshire, caused protests and the unnamed teacher, in his twenties, has been suspended. He has gone into hiding with his partner and young children after receiving threats and over concerns for his safety.

Speaking to Mail Online, the teacher’s father questioned why his son was being “victimised” and criticised the response of the school.

He drew comparisons with Samuel Paty, a teacher in France who was beheaded after he was accused of showing a cartoon of the Prophet from the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

“My son keeps breaking down and crying and says that it’s all over for him,” the father said. “He is worried that he and his family are all going to be killed. He knows that he is not going to be able to return to work or live in Batley. It’s just going to be too dangerous for him and his family. Look what happened to the teacher in France who was killed for doing the same thing. Eventually they will get my son and he knows this.”

The father claimed that the school “has thrown my son under a bus” and said that the picture shown was part of the curriculum and had been approved by the school. He added: “Other teachers have done exactly the same thing so why is my son being victimised like this?”

One mother, who claimed that her daughter had been “locked in a sports hall for her safety” at one point during the protests, praised the teacher for his work welcoming new students. “He is a lovely man who has been very kind to the children,” she said.

Last week the mother of a pupil said that a Charlie Hebdo cartoon had been shown before at the school. “This was taught last year to my daughter by a different teacher,” she said. “I know it’s been taught in other years, in other lessons. Why single this teacher out?”

Running scared of the Islamists, who always manage to insert themselves into the front of these stories as spokesmen for the Muslim community with the same dreary regularity that all vaguely leftish protests end up being hijacked by the hard left.

0-years-old, was a national artifact.

It is unclear how many Jews remain in Yemen today. In 2017, the country’s information minister said his government was unaware of the fate of the country’s few dozen remaining Jews, most of whom reside in the Houthi-controlled capital of Sana’a.

The Houthis, who are aligned with Iran, view the tiny remaining Jewish population as an enemy and are engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing that includes ridding Yemen of its Jewish community, he said at the time.

According to the Asharq Al-Awsat report, there are now just four Jews left in Yemen, all of whom are senior citizens.

Some 49,000 Yemeni Jews were brought to the nascent State of Israel in Operation Magic Carpet in 1949-50.

It's the great unspoken reverse side of the Palestine coin: the hundreds of thousands of Jews expelled from Arab countries, unmourned, uncelebrated, with – unlike the Palestinians – no UN agency employing over 30,000 people specifically devoted to their cause, and their status as permanent refugees. 

e Islamists. Local Labour MP Tracy Brabin was quick off the mark: “The upset and offence this has caused is understandable but it was also predictable. I am pleased that the school has recognised it was inappropriate and apologised for the offence caused." Yes, of course it was all the teacher's fault. She did manage a follow-up statement later which said that "no teacher should be facing intimidation or threats", apparently after pressure from the Labour leadership, but I doubt if anyone noticed.

Labour lost its "red wall" in the last election for a reason. It's not clear that they've learnt any lessons yet.
