RIP: David Drake (September 24, 1945 – December 10, 2023), Vietnam Veteran, lawyer and science fiction author. The sub-genre of Military Science Fiction was largely carved out by him with his 'Hammer's Slammers' series. He will be missed.
A strange tale. Did the driver do this because she thought the crowd was Jewish, Israeli, Christian, Black, or merely because she was under the influence of brain-altering chemicals? Posting on Page 1: WoT to start, but it may be moved based on further information.
[IsraelTimes] A woman has been arrested after she drove her vehicle several times at or through a religious group demonstrating on a sidewalk, hitting and injuring one man, Montana police say.
Genevienne Rancuret, 55, was pulled over by police in Billings on Saturday a few hours after the episode and taken to jail on charges of felony assault with a weapon — the vehicle — felony criminal mischief and driving under the influence, police said. It is not known if she has a lawyer representing her yet.
The 45-year-old man who was struck suffered minor injuries. Members of the group he was with, identified by police as "Israelis for Christ," were holding signs and speaking through an amplifier at the time, a police spokesperson, Lt. Matt Lennick, said.
Lennick said he did not have enough information to comment on what the motive could be.
An update from police said the FBI was also reviewing what happened, along with local prosecutors, suggesting the federal agency was looking into whether it could be a bias-motivated crime.
The group, as named by police, does not appear to have a current online presence and no immediate information could be found.
There is, however, an Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ which is an American organization of Black Hebrew Israelites headquartered in New York. The sect has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as "extreme and antisemitic," and designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
A witness told the KTVQ news channel in Montana Sunday that the demonstrators were "all wearing purple, so it was clearly a group."
Black Hebrew Israelites have been seen at gatherings and marches in matching purple clothing.
But it was not immediately clear if that was the group targeted in Sunday’s attack.
"I just kind of saw this white Jeep fly by me and jump onto the sidewalk, straight at the group of people that were there," the witness told KTVQ. "The first thing that I thought was they lost control and they were in a wreck."
But then the driver tried to hit the group again, said the witness.
Last month, a woman in Indiana was arrested after she drove her car into an Indianapolis residential building used by Black Hebrew Israelites as a school, mistakenly believing it was a Jewish school.

"designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center"
Sometimes the SPLC gets it right.
The Black Hebrew Israelites are one of the descendant groups of the mystical African-American national separatist movement of the turn of the 19th century that called itself the Indigenous Moors, claiming they are the actual natives of North America, not the so-called American Indians. Their congregations range from pushing reasonably normal Black self-improvement/self-sufficiency with a mystic frosting to batshit crazy Black supremacist racist antisemites. Nation of Islam is another descendant of the same movement, but claiming to be the true Muslims as BHI are the true Hebrews. Those people claiming that they don’t have to pay taxes or obey local laws and regulations are another branch — usually encountered in groups carrying unregistered guns or after moving into strangers’ homes and changing the locks. On their Washington, DC school trip Nick Sandman and his Covington Catholic classmates encountered an abusive group of BHIs, just before they were confronted by that obnoxious professional “Native American” activist.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] In a retaliatory move, Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... has ordered the expulsion of 15 Emirati diplomats from its territory following the UAE’s expulsion of three Sudanese diplomats.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Badriya al-Shehhi, the Deputy Chargé d’Affaires of the UAE Embassy in Sudan, on Sunday to convey the decision.
The ministry informed al-Shehhi that the Sudanese government has declared 15 Emirati diplomats persona non grata and demanded their immediate departure from Sudan within 48 hours, according to the official Sudan News Agency.
On Saturday, December 9, the UAE informed the Sudanese ambassador in Abu Dhabi of its decision to expel three senior Sudanese diplomats, including the military attaché, his deputy, and the cultural attaché, citing their alleged involvement in activities deemed "undesirable."
This diplomatic escalation is the latest development in the ongoing tensions between the two countries, which have been heightened by recent accusations of UAE support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a Sudanese paramilitary group fighting the Sudanese army for more than seven months.
[FoxNews] Police in the United Kingdom are investigating an assault as a potential hate crime after viral video of the incident was circulated online by a neighborhood watch group.
Shomrim, a Jewish security group, released video of the incident on X, which shows a woman being pulled to the ground and beaten before bystanders finally intervene to check on her.
"The brutal attack ended after the two female offenders kept on kicking the unconscious victim in the head before laughing over her body and, according to witness reports, saying joyfully she's ‘dead," the ground said. "She was left collapsed and unresponsive in a puddle and appeared unconscious for a few minutes."
According to a report from the Evening Standard, police were able to confirm the victim was a 20-year-old Jewish woman, who was left bruised and unconscious but did not require a trip to the hospital.
Police later confirmed the authenticity of the video posted by Shomrim and that an investigation into the incident, which took place north of London last week, was being investigated, to include any motive.
[IsraelTimes] At least 10,000 protesters rally under banner of ’Never again is now,’ as Jewish community’s main leader says antisemitism ’common practice in Germany’
Several thousand people demonstrated against antisemitism in Berlin on Sunday as Germany grapples with a large increase in anti-Jewish incidents following the Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terror group’s devastating onslaught on Israel two months ago.
Police estimated that around 3,200 people gathered in the rain in the German capital, while organizers put the figure at 10,000, German news agency dpa reported. Participants in the protest, titled "Never again is now," marched to the Brandenburg Gate.
A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said in late November that it had documented a drastic increase in antisemitic incidents in the month after Hamas’s attack — a total of 994, an increase of 320 percent compared with the same period a year earlier.
Germany’s main Jewish leader, Josef Schuster, said that "antisemitism is common practice in Germany in the middle of society," and called for solidarity with Israel and with Jewish life in Germany.
Germany’s Labor Minister Hubertus Heil said that many decent people are too quiet on the issue. "We don’t need a decent, silent majority — we need a clear and loud majority that stands up now, and not later," he said.
The event had wide support, with the speaker of the German parliament and Berlin’s mayor also among its backers.
In a report, the Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism recorded three cases of "extreme violence," which it defines as attacks that can result in a loss of life or serious bodily harm, whether successfully committed or attempted, between October 7 and November 9, 2023.
One such incident occurred on October 18 in Berlin, when two Molotov cocktails were thrown at a Jewish community center that houses a synagogue as well as a kindergarten.
The report also listed 29 attacks, 72 incidents of targeted damage to property, 32 threats, four antisemitic mass mailings, and 854 cases of offensive behavior over the month-long period.
Donning a kippa, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz became the first in his role to light the menorah at Brandenburg Gate in the center of Berlin Thursday evening, where he called for the "immediate" release of hostages held by Hamas in 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 Hamas with 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... , accompanied by Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, the rabbi of Berlin’s Jewish community.
Scholz said he wanted to underscore that Jews were an "inextricable part" of German society, and called it "unacceptable" for them "to have to be afraid to practice their religion, their culture" in the country.
Antisemitism has skyrocketed around the world since war erupted between Israel and Hamas after the Hamas-led October 7 massacre, in which some 3,000 bandidosforces of Evil burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing some 240 hostages of all ages under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.
Israel responded with a military campaign aimed at toppling the Hamas regime in Gaza and ensuring the end of its threat to southern Israel, as well as securing the release of the hostages.
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of people take to the streets of Brussels to protest antisemitism, after a surge in outbreaks across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... during the war between Israel and Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... Brussels police say around 4,000 people attended the march in the Belgian capital, with some holding placards reading: "You don’t have to be Jewish to march against antisemitism."
"An old evil is resurfacing in Europe," EU chief Ursula von der Leyen says during a Hanukkah candlelighting event in front of the Commission and European Council headquarters in Brussels. "Swastikas have been painted on the homes of Jews. Synagogues have been vandalized. Jewish children have been locked in their schools because the streets are not safe for them. This is horrific. And it is painful."
"There should be no place for this hatred, especially here in Europe. And there is no justification to the rise in antisemitism. No war, no political argument, can excuse it," she adds.

To be fair, Russians are the whitest of all, but that at least partially a lack of sunshine during the winter. I have no idea what worst means in this context.

In an age of sociopolitical siloing that makes feudalism look futuristic, many are on the antisemitism bandwagon because it's the "hip thing to be" in their self-selected social cadre.
That, of course, is no excuse.
Regrettably, I suspect some are anti-antisemites for exactly the same reason.
Don't be "fashionably correct." Be authentically correct to your core because it's the right thing to be.

According to the police, Counter Terrorism Department's (CTD) Station House Officer Mohammad Murad embraced martyrdom in the blast after his car was targeted on the Sultan Ibrahim road.
The police added that the maimed have been shifted to the Khuzdar Teaching Hospital.
Caretaker Federal Minister of Interior Sarfaraz Bugti, while speaking to Geo News following the incident, said that the whole nation has to fight the war against terrorism as it is becoming a great challenge.
"The war against terrorism is not just CTDs but of the entire nation," he added.
Pakistain has witnessed a significant spike in the form of the recent wave of terrorist attacks across the country.
According to a statistical report released by the independent think tank Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), at least 271 Death Eater attacks took place during the first half of 2023, resulting in the loss of 389 lives and injuring 656 individuals. Terror activities in the country soared by 79% during the period.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said late Sunday that the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeted a number of targets areas around Damascus including a countryside site close to Quneitra, an area around Sayyida Zeinab just south of the capital, and the Damascus airport where Hezbollah and Iranian militias are known to operate. All three sites have been targeted before
The organization, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false and inaccurate reporting.
SOHR said eight people were hurt in the alleged airstrikes Sunday, including five combatants.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, reported that the strikes near Sayeda Zainab district and Damascus airport injured eight, including three civilians and five “military combatants.”
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on regime-controlled areas of Syria throughout its 12-year civil war, often claiming to strike pro-Iran militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group which supports the Syrian army.
While it rarely comments on strikes attributed to it in Syria, Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not tolerate its arch-rival Iran to gain a foothold there.
There have been 63 Israeli strikes on Syrian territory since the beginning of the year, killing 110 soldiers and militiamen and wounding 117 others, according to SOHR. The strikes have resulted in the destruction of around 127 targets.
