…and when the Jews return to Zion…
Jerusalem (AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday urged European Jews to move to Israel after a Jewish man was killed in an attack outside Copenhagen’s main synagogue.
“Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe,” Netanyahu said in a statement, repeating a similar call after attacks by jihadists in Paris last month when four Jews were among the dead.
Two police officers were also wounded in Sunday’s attack in Copenhagen, one of two fatal shootings in the normally peaceful Danish capital on the weekend.
In the first attack on Saturday, a 55-year-old man was killed at a panel discussion about Islam and free speech attended by a Swedish cartoonist behind controversial caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed. (more…)

Something about the investigation and reports so far is not adding up. The named suspect does not fit the physical description (picture) released yesterday of a “suspect of interest”…. and notice how quick the media is to use the term “lone wolf”… Hmmm?
(Via Daily Mail) This is the first picture of the terror suspect believed to have killed a film director and Jewish security guard in two attacks in Copenhagen.
Danish-born Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, 22, was killed after opening fire on officers who had closed down the area surrounding Norrebro metro station at about 5am today.
The man – whom police said is known to them due to past violence, gang-related activities and and possession of weapons – is thought to have killed two people in separate attacks at a free speech event and a synagogue.
Film director Finn Noergaard, 55, was killed yesterday at a cafe. Hours later, 37-year-old security employee Dan Uzan was shot in the head as he stood outside a building belonging to the city’s Great Synagogue.
This afternoon two people were led out of an internet cafe in handcuffs as part of the probe. (more…)

Within hours of the attacks, and while Denmark police are still trying to sort through the various shooting scenes in Copenhagen; and while suspects have not yet been identified – the New York Times jumps in to deflect attention: “Anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment is rising in Europe”…
It only took the Times four paragraphs to turn the still evolving story from an Islamist gunman targeting Jews and Cartoonists, to an apologetic spin on Muslims as victims of publicity.
LONDON — Two attacks shook Copenhagen, with a gunman spraying bullets into a cafe where a Swedish cartoonist who had caricatured the Prophet Mohammad was speaking, followed hours later by a shooting outside the city’s main synagogue early Sunday morning.
One man was killed in the cafe attack on Saturday and three police officers were wounded; a man was shot in the head in the second attack and later died, and two officers were wounded, Danish television reported. It was not clear if the attacks were linked, but in each case the gunman escaped, raising fears throughout the capital.
Police swarmed into the city center, evacuating a train station, setting up roadblocks and warning people to remain indoors. Police later said they had shot and killed a man near Norrebro station who had shot at them first, according to TV2, a Danish station.
The latest violence comes as Europe is increasingly on edge over the January assaults on a French satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket in Paris, the worst spasm of terrorism in France in decades. Anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment is rising in Europe, and although there was no indication who was responsible for the shootings in Copenhagen, Twitter was ablaze with anti-Muslim indictments.

Update: Another Shooting Victim Dies

Following the earlier mass shooting at a Copenhagen Cafe’ where they tried to assassinate “random folk” including a Danish Cartoonist, this time the target is “random folk” at a Jewish Synagogue. I wonder if this might possibly be connected to Muslims?… Nah, prolly just random folk coincidence.

The police say they are looking for an male of Arabic appearance. But I swear the pictures look like a female physique.

(Via Daily Mail) Danish police have said one person has been shot in the head at a synagogue in Copenhagen as they hunt a ‘lone wolf’ gunman on the run in the city.
Two policeman have also been shot in the arms and legs close to the city’s Great Synagogue. Locals have been warned to be vigilant and stay indoors after the suspect fled on foot.
Armed police are now flooding the area and helicopters are circling overhead as the city goes into lockdown.
The incident happened just two miles from where a man was killed yesterday after an Islamist fanatic opened fire on a cafe as he tried to assassinate a controversial Swedish cartoonist. (more…)

We often say ‘we accept the world as it is rather than as we wish it to be’. Because to do anything else only creates frustration from projecting our own perspectives, dreams, wishes and hopes into a situation that may not -heck, often doesn’t- evolve to provide a better outcome.

The Washington Times has a strong exclusive story outlining the Hillary Clinton drive for regime change in Libya 2011. The article is quite well presented with never before heard tapes between U.S. officials and Gaddaffi loyalists who were trying to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
The article outlines many of the issues our previous research also uncovered, and presents the contrast between the Pentagon position and the State Department during the crisis in Libya.
However, there is one substantive factual flaw when the Washington Times outlines Hillary’s motive for regime change.
The author writes about the motive from the position of the known visible narrative chosen by Hillary to remove Gaddaffi. Which was to avoid a “humanitarian crisis”, similar to the Rwanda massacre. (more…)

(Via BBC) But Mrs Merkel told the Die Welt newspaper she still wanted Greece to stay in the eurozone.

Greece’s left-wing Syriza party won last weekend’s election with a pledge to have half the debt written off.
Its finance minister said the “troika” of global institutions overseeing Greek debt was a “rotten committee”.
The troika – the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund – had agreed a €240bn (£179bn; $270bn) bailout with the previous Greek government.
But new Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has refused to work with the troika to renegotiate the bailout terms and has already begun to roll back the austerity measures the creditors had demanded of the previous government. (read more)

The French are now concerned the murder video will be hosted in pro-jihad forums.  In addition a Go-Pro camera was found in the getaway vehicle used by the Charlie Hebdo terrorists.

Gee, ya think?

Libya is still arguably one of the least understood results from team Clinton/Obama. So here’s a quick recap summary. (more…)

In 2010 Greece secured two bailouts worth €240 billion ($293 billion) from the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank, in return for wide reaching economic reforms.
The Greek government had to curtail intensely dependent social welfare programs. The number of homeless people in the Greek capital shot up as unemployment skyrocketed and businesses collapsed. Greece’s jobless rate currently stands at around 25% – and double that figure for young people.
In comes Alex Tsipras, leader of the far-left Syriza party, who surged in popularity on an anti-austerity platform. He promised everyone the entire country could go back on government welfare. Though vague on details, the party has promised to renegotiate the terms of the country’s bailout and deliver relief to fed up Greeks. (more…)
