Chuck Schumer strongly supports the right of a people to have their own land, and to determine who lives on that land.
It is troubling to me that many people, especially on the left, seem to acknowledge and even celebrate this right to statehood for every group but the Jews.
Jews have a human right to their own state just as any other people do, Palestinians included.

Most politicians are products rather than people. They are an image and can be bought or sold. Schumer has been purchased because he will do almost anything as long as it does not lower his price tag. Schumer’s heritage is part of what you purchase.

[GEO.TV] Pakistain and the Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... -led Afghan government Saturday agreed to expand "counter-terrorism" cooperation and continue working together in building fraternal bilateral relations.
The development came during a telephonic conversation between Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and his Afghan counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi.
"Expanding cooperation in connectivity, trade, security, counter terrorism and people-to-people contacts is a top priority for Pakistain," Dar posted on X, as he received a congratulatory call from the Afghan interim minister.
Pakistain, Afghanistan agree to expand ’counter-terrorism cooperation
Earlier this week, Kabul emphasised maintaining relations with Islamabad, saying that it was a necessity to have improved relations with all its neighbouring countries.
Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid urged the new government of Pakistain to show flexibility towards the deportation of Afghan refugees.
"First, the Islamic Emirate has always sought good relations with all its neighbours, including Pakistain, where a new government has emerged. Afghanistan also needs good relations with Pakistain.
"We want Pakistain to make good progress in various sectors with Afghanistan and ask the future government to solve all its problems," the spokesperson said.
The development comes amid a tense relationship between the two countries with acting Prime Minister of Afghanistan Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund assuring Pakistain earlier this year that his country did not have any intention of inflicting damage upon or creating problems for the neighbouring country.
During a meeting with a delegation of Pak religious leaders led by Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... -Fazl (JUIF) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman ...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty. Fazl seldom misses a meal and is now so large he has his own gravitational pull... in January this year, Akhund said they dealt each issue in Afghanistan as per the Islamic Sharia, as the country was governed by Sharia, and Sharia did not allow hurting anyone or any other country including Pakistain.
The Afghanistan acting PM also reiterated that they would not give permission to use their soil against any other country.

Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[AFRICANEWS] Security forces in Somalia say they have killed all five attackers who laid siege to a hotel in a normally secure area of the capital.
Police spokesperson Kasim Roble said Friday that three soldiers were killed and 27 people injured in the Thursday night attack on the SYL Hotel in Mogadishu.
The Somali turban group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... said on Telegram on Thursday that its fighters managed to penetrate the hotel, which is not far from the presidential palace and is patronized by government officials.
"The situation is now calm, the hotel is secure now, and politicians and other hotel residents started returning, and the security situation returned to normal," Roble said.
Journalists were barred from accessing the hotel after the siege ended.
Attacks in the seaside capital had declined in recent weeks as security was beefed up. al-Shabaab, which opposes Somalia's central government, has been responsible for many deadly attacks on hotels and other places in the past.
The last major attack in Mogadishu was in October 2022, when at least 120 non-combatants were killed in twin boom-mobileings at a busy intersection.
Somalia's government is conducting a high-profile offensive against the turban group, which the United States has described as one of al-Qaeda's deadliest organizations. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has declared "total war" against the turbans, who control large parts of central and southern Somalia and have been the target of scores of U.S. Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in recent years.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] On Saturday, The 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... ese army clashed with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on two fronts, repelling an attack in Khartoum and witnessing intensified fighting in Babanusa, West Kordofan State.
The army responded to a major RSF attack on the Signal Corps in Khartoum Bahri. Military sources reported heavy losses for the RSF, including destroyed vehicles and numerous casualties.
A former military newspaper editor, Colonel Ibrahim al-Houri, stated on Facebook that the army mobilized forces to counter the RSF attack.
Social media pages loyal to the army circulated video clips showing captured RSF vehicles and the bodies of its fighters. The RSF has yet to comment on the Khartoum battle.
Escalating Violence in Babanusa
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... brutal festivities continued in Babanusa. The RSF launched a new attack seeking control of the city’s 22nd Infantry Division headquarters, leading to a fierce military standoff.
Military sources informed Sudan Tribune that Saturday witnessed renewed violence, with both sides using heavy weaponry. Civilian casualties were reported, and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeted RSF positions within Babanusa.
A member of the Babanusa Emergency Room recounted a tragic incident. RSF forces allegedly killed three family members attempting to flee the city on the al-Kalait road.
The source further accused the RSF of widespread human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... violations, including arbitrary arrests, killings, looting, and deploying snipers in civilian areas.
Since January 22nd, the RSF’s offensive against the army’s 22nd Infantry Division has displaced over 50,000 civilians, constituting roughly 95% of Babanusa’s population. These displaced persons now face dire humanitarian conditions in surrounding villages and towns, with warnings of imminent famine issued by the government.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue a brutal campaign in 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... ’s al-Jazira State, south of the capital Khartoum. Since seizing the state capital, Wad Madani, in December, the RSF has allegedly engaged in looting, violence, and extortion for four consecutive months.
Local Resistance® Committees in Hasahisa reported that on Friday, the RSF killed eight civilians and injured nine others in the village of Umm Jaris. These attacks were allegedly followed by widespread looting of homes, private property, and even agricultural equipment.
Similar incidents occurred in the village of al-Halila al-Halaween. The RSF elements reportedly attempted to raid the village but were met with resistance from the villagers. The ensuing confrontation resulted in several civilian injuries, including four at death's door.
These recent events add to a growing list of abuses attributed to the RSF in al-Jazirah. Dozens of villages across the state have reportedly witnessed killings, robberies, and displacement of residents.
Major General Awad al-Karim Ali Saeed recently assumed command of the 1st Infantry Division in al-Jazira. The Sudanese army has assured the public that the state’s residents’ security and stability remain a top priority.
However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... scepticism lingers. Last week, the Wad Madani Resistance® Committees accused the RSF of imposing new taxes on businesses and citizens, along with demanding exorbitant fees for basic utilities like water and electricity.

Just a FYI, the Sudan Tribune is the Arab mouthpiece of the Sudan Army.
[AFRICANEWS] Congo has lifted a more than two-decade-old moratorium on the death penalty as authorities struggle to curb violence and militant attacks in the country, according to a justice ministry statement released on Friday.
The statement, dated earlier this week, said the ban from 2003 allowed offenders accused of treason and espionage to get away without proper punishment.
Eastern Congo has been riddled by conflict for decades, linked to more than 120 armed groups fighting for land and power and in some cases, protecting their communities.
The government said the violence in the east has plagued the country with recurrent conflict and resulted in a surge of attacks that have spread terror among the communities.
In recent years, the M23 rebel group
…the M23 rebels are more formally known as the March 23 Movement, and sometimes as the Congolese Revolutionary Army. Founded in 2012 as a Rwandan Tutsi sock puppet, which no doubt seemed a good idea at the time, in less than a year the Congolese army defeated them, and then Rwanda publicly stepped back in response to international pressure. M23 started acting up again in late 2022, again at Rwandan instigation...
— the most dominant in the region with alleged links to neighboring Rwanda — has continued to attack villages, forcing many to flee to Goma, the region’s largest city. M23 has laid siege to several communities with about half of North Kivu province under its control.
The violence in the province has worsened in recent weeks as security forces battle the rebels. Residents have said the group’s fighters mostly launch attack with bombs out of hills overlooking remote towns.
In its statement, the justice ministry said capital punishment will be reserved for offenders involved in criminal conspiracies, armed gangs, insurrection — and also those who commit treason and war crimes. It will also be applied to the military, including those who rebel or desert and join enemy ranks.
Rights groups have condemned the decision, calling it a step back for the country.
“This initiative is against the constitution," said Jean-Claude Katende, president of the African Association for Human Rights. “We don’t think that capital punishment and the execution of this sentence are appropriate measures to restore order.”

The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center says the vessel’s crew saw the blast as it passed off the coast of Aden, the port city in southern Yemen home to the country’s exiled government.
"No damage to the vessel has been reported and the crew are reported safe," UKMTO says
The Houthis have launched repeated drone and missile attacks in the same area, disrupting energy and cargo shipments through the Gulf of Aden.
The group did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack, though it typically takes the Houthis several hours before acknowledging their assaults.
Separately, the US military’s Central Command said earlier it carried out a series of strikes targeting the Houthis. It said it destroyed five drone boats and one drone before takeoff from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen on Saturday. It was an unusually high number of drone boats to be destroyed.
Separately, the US military shot down one Houthi drone over the Red Sea, while another was "presumed to have crashed."
"There were no reports of damage or injuries from ships in the vicinity," Central Command said.
A Mexican man who trafficked at least 1,000 illegal migrants into Arizona has been convicted & sentenced to 90 months in federal prison. Read: https://t.co/qgNcIW3sMn
Martin Garcia-Velazquez, also known as "Tucan," was sentenced to 7 ½ years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens for profit, according to the US District Attorney’s office in Arizona. In addition to his prison term, the Mexican national was sentenced to 35 months of supervised release and ordered to pay a mandatory special assessment of $5,000.
Golly.
During his admission, Garcia-Velazquez revealed that he orchestrated the transportation of illegal immigrants colonists from the Mexico border to various houses in and around Phoenix, implicating himself as a key player in the illicit human trafficking operation.
Further investigation by the Department of Justice uncovered the involvement of three co-conspirators who were previously prosecuted in October. The extensive multi-year probe, led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, resulted in the seizure and forfeiture of over $1 million in illicit proceeds, along with five firearms and five vehicles.
That’s all?
"This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level narcos, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks." emphasized the DOJ in a statement.
The Arizona-Mexico border has become a hotspot for border crossings. In the first four months of fiscal year 2024, Border Patrol has apprehended over 250,000 migrants colonists near Tucson. This number marks the highest of any region along the southern border that Border Patrol oversees.

[GEO.TV] At least seven Pakistain Army soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel and captain, embraced martyrdom after gallantly fighting with holy warriors as they attacked a security forces' post in the general area Mir Ali of North Wazoo District, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Saturday.
According to the military's media wing, a group of six holy warriors attacked the post in the early hours today with the Pak troops foiling their initial attempt of intrusion before they rammed an explosive laden vehicle into the post, followed by multiple suicide kaboom attacks, which led to collapse of portion of a building, resulting into the martyrdom of the brave sons of the soil.
"During the conduct of ensuing clearance operation, own troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Kashif, effectively engaged and sent to hell all six terrorists," the statement read.
The shuhada, as per the ISPR, included Havildar Sabir (resident of District Khyber), Naik Khurshid (resident of District Lakki Marwat), Sepoy Nasir (resident of District Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... ), Sepoy Raja (resident of District Kohat) and Sepoy Sajjad (resident of District Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... ).
Meanwhile, ...back at the alley, Slats Chumbaloni was staring into a hole that was just .45 inch in diameter and was less than three feet from his heavily sweating face ... the 39-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Syed Kashif Ali — who was leading his troops from the front — and 23-year-old Captain Muhammad Ahmed Badar paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat during an intense exchange of fire with the terrorists, the ISPR mentioned.
Lieutenant Colonel Ali hailed from Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , while Captain Babar was a resident of District Talagang.
"Sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other terrorist present in the area, as security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," ISPR added.
The funeral prayers of the martyred officers and personnel were offered in separate areas, the military's media wing said in a statement issued later in the day.
"Martyrs will be laid to rest with military honours in their hometowns," it added.

[IsraelTimes] Over the past two weeks, the IDF says the Nahal Infantry Brigade killed more than 250 Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... operatives in the central 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... Strip, in shootouts and by calling in tank shelling and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.
The Nahal Brigade is operating in the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which crosses Gaza from the Be’eri area to the coast. The corridor enabled the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza.
Nahal troops with the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion have destroyed numerous Hamas assets in the area in recent weeks, including rockets, launchers, and weapons depots, the IDF says.
#1
Nahal Infantry Brigade soldiers undertake around four months of basic training and around four months of advanced training in the Israeli desert. Basic training Consists primarily of physical conditioning, Krav Maga, rifle training and the qualifying obstacle course. Recruits begin their desert marches to prepare them for their 70+ kilometers, depending on company beret march at the end of advanced training. These marches are performed fully kitted in order to prepare them for battlefield marching. Rifle training aims to perfect recruits' day and night shooting skills prior to advanced training.
[IsraelTimes] No injuries in shooting attack, which Paleostinian media reports say was carried out by a Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... -affiliated imam in the West Bank city
A Paleostinian gunman opened fire Saturday at an Israeli settlement neighborhood in the West Bank city of Hebron, according to the military, before being rubbed out by troops.
Video footage showed the gunman shooting from a cemetery before he was fatally struck.
Suspected infiltration alarms sounded in the area as the Israel Defense Forces said troops were scanning for additional suspects.
There were no injuries in the attack, several hours after which the Home Front Command gave residents an all-clear to leave their homes.
The gunman was named by Paleostinian media as Muhammad Nofal, the imam of Hebron’s al-Qassam mosque. He was also reportedly affiliated with Hamas.
The IDF later announced troops were operating around Nofal’s home and questioning suspects in the area, as Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox and other commanders held a security assessment at the scene of the shooting.
The shooting in Hebron came as security forces in Jerusalem and the West Bank have been on high alert since Ramadan started earlier this week. Tensions were already high between Israelis and Paleostinians due to the outbreak of the war between Israel and 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... following the October 7 massacre, which saw Hamas snuffies murder about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnap 253.
Paleostinians say over 400 people have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since hostilities broke out, most while carrying out attacks or during festivities with IDF troops during nightly raids that have largely concentrated on a handful of areas in the northern West Bank. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... killings of innocent bystanders have also been alleged.

More than two thirds of them were women and kiddies, according to Hamashospital records.
At least 19 dead people, including nine children and five women, were brought to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Ragah, the hospital records show.
An News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist at the facility saw the bodies. "Dat's right! I seen 'em!"
He said preparations for funeral services for the deal were underway Saturday morning at the hospital’s yard.
In Gaza City, first responders retrieved five bodies from under the rubble of a house in the eastern part of the city, the civil defence said. The house was hit by Israeli fire on Friday, it said.

Another observation post in Marwahin was also struck, the IDF says.
The strikes come after projectiles were fired from Lebanon at the Mount Dov, Malkia and Misgav Am areas on the border. The IDF also says it shelled the launch sites with artillery.
[IsraelTimes] A war monitor said Israeli strikes on Syria early Sunday targeted at least two sites in Damascus province including a weapons depot, while state media said a soldier was maimed in the attack.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says "Israeli missiles" targeted a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian military and used by Hezbollah in Damascus province’s Qalamun mountains.
Another site near an army battalion in the same area was also targeted, added the Britannia-based Observatory, reporting a fire at one of the sites.
The organization, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false and inaccurate reporting.
State news agency SANA, carrying a statement from a military source, said earlier that "the Israeli enemy carried out an air attack... targeting a number of points in the southern region," without specifying where.
It said a soldier was maimed in the attack and reported "material losses", adding that air defense systems shot down some of the missiles.

[NY Post] How many others have gotten through? FJB
A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.
Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: "I’m going to try to make a bomb," according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.
In a subsequent sworn interview, Ebbadi said he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, according to internal ICE documents.
Ebbadi’s training focused on "jihad" and killing people "that was not Muslim," he said.
Border agents continue to see a surge in migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist entering the US illegally as crossings continue at record levels.
