Elie Rosen, the President of the Jewish Community of Graz, Austria, was attacked by an unknown man wielding a wooden bat in front of the Jewish community hall on Saturday night, a spokesman for the local police told Der Standard.

According to the spokeswoman for the Jewish community, Rosen was about to drive into the grounds of the Jewish community center with his car when he was attacked. Rosen and an escort became aware of a man with a baseball cap rising a bike who was obviously stalking them. His stature and appearance were very similar to the man who had been spotted by the center’s surveillance cameras on Wednesday and Friday of last week, when he was vandalizing the Graz synagogue.

When Rosen came out of his car, he was attacked by the stranger with the baseball bat. Rosen managed to escape at the last moment and got back into his car. The attacker then hit the vehicle with the baseball bat before fleeing the scene.

The Graz police announced that a search for the unknown perpetrator had been initiated and a police detail posted to protect the synagogue property.

Der Standard noted that the perpetrator must have felt quite safe, since this was his thirst visit in less than a week to David Herzog Platz in Graz, to attack the synagogue.

“The first two times he came in the night, today in the middle of the afternoon, in broad daylight,” police spokesman Fritz Grundnig told the newspaper.

When asked by Der Standard why the Jewish center building is no longer guarded by police, as had been the case until only a few years and since its renovation some 20 years ago, and why no police had been posted following last week’s attacks, Grundnig explained: “There hasn’t been anything like this for many years. But it has just been ordered.”

She explained that “a red line has now been crossed because it was against people.”

Will Elie Rosen now gets personal protection? “The offer is standing,” said the police spokeswoman.

Der Standard noted that local residents spontaneously gathered for a vigil in front of the synagogue on Saturday evening, including the former member of the state parliament from the Green party Edith Zitz and Tristan Ammerer, and later a delegation from the Islamic cultural center.

Rosen was elected Vice-President of the Federal Association of Israelite Religious Communities in Austria in November 2012, and was entrusted in 2016 by the Vienna Jewish Community as chargé d’affaires with the management of the Graz Jewish community for the federal states of Styria, Carinthia and southern Burgenland, which he now also presides over as President.

Last October, he was appointed to the board of directors of the Jewish Cultural Foundation for Styria, Carinthia and Southern Burgenland. He was behind the re-establishment of the Styrian state rabbinate, which was dissolved in 1938, and the appointment of the Viennese rabbi Schlomo Hofmeister as the Styrian state rabbi and chief rabbi of Graz.

Rosen’s work for the Jewish community in Graz is clearly characterized by an expansion of religious activities and, in a short time, stabilizing the Jewish community, which was in the process of dissolution. His term of office is also characterized by an increased representative presence of the Jewish community in public life in the Styrian capital and a clear opening to the outside world.

In October 2019, Rosen ran a campaign to exhume the remains of photographer Dora Kallmus, a.k.a. Madame d’Ora from Frohnleiten, Styria, and transfer her to the Jewish cemetery in Graz, where she was reburied in a grave of honor on the same day.

The inhabitants of Neuchâtel are fed up. As the Rts.ch site reported, petty crime incidents are particularly worrying in the Swiss city. Posters have been put up to make the authorities aware of the problem. And the inhabitants have warned that they would enforce justice by their own means if law enforcers fail to do so.

“We are proud, organised and angry. We have the capacity to be dangerous for those who disturb social peace to such an extent,” the posters read. According to the details in the Swiss media, the Neuchâtel police have already intercepted around twenty people over the last two weekends.

Residents have indeed taken action by beating delinquents who sow panic. But for Georges-André Lozouet, communication officer for the Neuchâtel police, the attitude of the inhabitants is unacceptable. “No one can take the place of the police. We are in a democracy and the system put in place is bearing fruit,” he explained.

The police have carried out 500 interventions and 184 arrests in July. These delinquents are young North Africans “wandering around” and are often asylum seekers. “These are young men domiciled in the region, known to our services,” said Lozouet.

The majority of suspects in so-called tumultuous situations in North Rhine-Westphalia have foreign roots. This is the result of the Ministry of the Interior’s answer to an inquiry by the AfD member of the state parliament Markus Wagner, which is in the hands of the weekly JUNGE FREIHEIT. According to the answer, 55.6 percent of the suspects do not hold German citizenship. In addition, according to the paper, many of the accused with German passports have a name that indicates a migration background. In total, 74.5 percent of the suspects are foreigners or Germans with foreign first names such as Ali, Hassan and Mohamed.According to the Ministry of the Interior, a situation of turmoil is “a police situation caused by or arising from an aggressive group of people, where the number of people, their role or the status of individuals cannot be determined immediately upon first intervention”. Whether this is the case is determined by the local police.On June 17, such a tumult happened in Cologne when, during a traffic control, the co-driver in the halted vehicle suddenly struck a policeman in the face, so that the latter had to be treated medically. About 150 onlookers, some of them aggressive, then gathered immediately at the scene of the incident, thus temporarily preventing the injured police officer from being medicated and disrupting the police operation. Only massive support forces were able to bring the situation under control.According to the Interior Ministry, 87 Germans and 109 foreigners were among the 196 suspects in the first half of 2020. Among the foreigners, Turks made up the largest group with 20 suspects, followed by Syrians(16). Many of the Germans mentioned above also have foreign roots. In at least 37 cases the suspects have foreign names.Wagner blamed migration and integration policy for the crimes committed by foreigners. “Three quarters of the suspects are foreigners or have an immigrant background. The connection to the failed migration and integration policy of the mainstream parties is therefore unmistakable. Nevertheless, the causes, i.e. the lack of border protection, the failure to deport and the refusal to integrate are not being challenged”.

A dispute between a 28-year-old Syrian woman and a 24-year-old Syrian man resulted in a violent end on Monday afternoon at the Pirna-Copitz suburban train station. According to the police, the 24-year-old beat the woman and pushed her onto the tracks. A witness intervened and helped the 28-year-old. Police officers of the Pirna station are now investigating the man for assault and are looking for witnesses, especially the unknown female rescuer. Clues are being taken by calling 0351/483 22 33.

The Protestant Church in Wuerttemberg wants to be ” prepared for refugees”, Bishop Frank Otfried July has repeatedly demanded. But how does that work in practice? The members of the Württemberg Association for World Mission (WAW) have thought about this and have published a book of more than 200 pages (” I have been a stranger. Mission between the causes for fleeing and the welcoming culture”) for everyday church life.The book ends with cultural advice when you spend time with people from, for example, oriental countries for the first time. You should leave your dog at home, he is considered unclean in many cultures. You should never contradict your counterpart directly, but indirectly, it is a question of honour. Physical contact – including shaking hands – with persons of the opposite sex is considered taboo by some people, and here too, according to the authors, a certain restraint is advisable.

By Judith Acosta

It started one ordinary day, in one otherwise ordinary session: A beautiful young woman I had known for a few years wanted to cut off her breasts. (Details changed to protect identity.)

“What happened?” In my mind, the first concern was cancer.

“Nothing. I just hate them. I’d really like to be rid of them. I was just wondering what you thought.”

So I told her. She had a long history of abuse, abandonment, and self-mutilation. Given that, I suggested, didn’t it seem like another aspect of self-hatred and rage? I urged her to take time to really consider all the ramifications — its effect on her physiology, on her partner, on her children.

She bristled and said I was being unsupportive. I explained I couldn’t be supportive of something that was an extension of existing pathology.

She found another, more supportive therapist, and is now living with the results of her surgery. 

That was the beginning of the end for me.

For weeks afterward I found myself fighting off fears of being reported to the licensing board for not agreeing with her and realized, finally, that the whole profession had become a political platform. Therapy had become a form of indoctrination and if you weren’t goose-stepping with whatever was trending, you were truly risking everything.

This is honestly a great loss for everyone because social work had so much promise in its beginnings.

Social work was a profession that was birthed by a belief in God and a devotion to charity. Its ranks were the committed and caring women who went to clean the typhus-ridden, brought food to the disabled, bandaged the botched abortion victim. They were epitomes of compassion and righteousness, ministers of presence and love. They supplied what was needed, listened with great skill, found hidden resources and advocated for the powerless. 

But then, as they formalized their positions and started to ask for salaries and professional validation from related professions (e.g., doctors), it required more than a belief in goodness; it required a business plan, a mission statement, and a board of directors.  Quickly, as the attachment to funding took hold and the culture became more and more laissez faire, social workers surreptitiously morphed into something that resonated more with Margaret Sanger’s Planned Parenthood and less with the Sisters of Charity. With no other moral code in place, the Self took center stage. The motto:  whatever makes you happy.

The results of that transformation are visible  today in every social service agency: A social worker who wants to continue working had better understand that he or she has to support all aspects of LGBT platforms, has to facilitate partial-birth abortions, and has to eliminate any and all references to God — no matter what he or she believes. Alternative therapies are acceptable so long as they are goddess-driven and support mandatory vaccination.  All therapies have to pass their “ethical” (i.e. political) means testing… and they all revolve around the exaltation of the Self, even when that “self” has the emotional stability of packing peanuts.

The essential problem is this: the Self can only be exalted in this manner once the Creator Himself has been ejected. And that is precisely what has happened… slowly and cunningly, but steadily.

The breakdown started with Engel v. Vitale ’62 (370 U.S. 421)  when God was ejected from the public square, specifically schools. And then, after that, men were ejected from the household in the welfare laws of the 60s.

Under the man-in-the-house rule, a child who otherwise qualified for welfare benefits was denied those benefits if the child’s mother was living with, or having relations with, any single or married able-bodied male. The man was considered a substitute father, even if the man was not supporting the child. (law.jrank.org)

Families soon became a form of interpretive art: one day you’re there, then you’re not. Roles became fluid and this fluidity was embraced with both arms of modern media. Then in 1973 (410 U.S. 113) a form of eugenics emerged: abortion on demand.  And in the 80s transgenders were officially recognized and allowed (subsidized by federal and insurance monies) to undergo sex-change surgery.

Yet, the more we were allowed to do, the less responsibility we took for doing it, and the more miserable we were. Someone had to pay, but it wouldn’t be us! With the man ousted and God gone, a vacuum of mythic proportions was left in its place. Something had to fill it.

The State was happy to insinuate itself as the new Pater Noster.

So, here we are in 2020, with socialism/state dictatorship actually being discussed on national television, with genders “fluid,” and abortion scaling to new heights of availability (an “essential service” in the COVID world). With the Self in charge, nothing but personal feelings or a blockage of funding can stop the flow of progress. In cutting out God, truth becomes relative and the value of any life dependent on its “value to you.”

The ultimate humanistic derivative of all this — the takeaway from all these years of individualism and unconditional positive regard: There is no Other. All there remains is the perception of her/him/it in you.

So, how does this play out in the world of ordinary relationships? Very subtly and very insidiously. This is a distilled example of a modern therapeutic conversation:

“I miss her. I love her so much.”

“Are you sure? What if… it’s not about her so much as about you? You miss howyou felt when you were with her. You miss what you imagined about her.”

“Gee, I was sure I missed her.”

It is so much babble it’s hard to believe that so many people not only practice therapy within that paradigm, but that patients actually believe it. It denies the self-evident. Why are we putting up with it when instinctively we know better?

The bottom line: in the modern social-work paradigm, there is nothing to believe in or hold onto besides your Self, there are no prohibitions and no judgments besides those unfairly imposed upon you by white males the world over. There is also no real experience, no real love and finally, no real other.

And there we are… alone, on the emotional dole, unsure of who we are, broken, and without hope.

It’s a far cry from the birth of social work. And if that’s all my profession offers, I’m signing off.

Ali M. (name changed) seems anything but intimidated after his controversial arrest by the Düsseldorf police. In a short clip via Snapchat, the 15-year-old teenager strolls through a park, thanking all his friends on the net for their wishes for recovery. “I kiss all your hearts”, the dark-haired curly-haired man, the baseball cap casually placed on the back of his head, says. At the same time Ali M. announced another statement about the things that had happened. The German-Moroccan ended the 13-second sequence with a grinning laugh.There is no evidence of the injuries that Ali M. allegedly suffered during an arrest action by police officers on Saturday evening in Düsseldorf’s Old Town. At least he has no visible damage to his head.Local Green politician Samy Charchira had reported after a visit to the family that the pupil had suffered a first-degree craniocerebral trauma as a result of the intervention of officials near the McDonald’s branch at Bolker Stern. The boy had spent a day in hospital for observation. “He suffered multiple contusions to the face, skull, pelvis, thoracic and cervical spine. His mental health, but also that of his parents, is precarious,” said the candidate for the upcoming local elections in Düsseldorf. The video of the “victim”, on the other hand, shows a young man who apparently seems to be barely impaired. FOCUS Online asked the Green politician about the background, but got no answer.The case caused a stir after short clips on the net showed an apparently brutal approach by a police officer to the arrest of the 15-year-old teenager.Ali M. is said to have interfered in a police operation in the old town and to have beaten the officers. He called them “sons of bitches” and is said to have made it clear that he “always hated this police uniform”.Two police officers brought the rioter, who was well known to the police, to the ground after a long struggle. One of them pushed him down with his knee. At this time it is not clear whether the leg was on the head or on the neck. In the latter case, such an action constitutes criminal police violence. Since then, the public prosecutor’s office has been investigating four officers.North Rhine Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU) promised a comprehensive clarification in view of the video fragments circulating on the Internet about the incident. Investigators are currently evaluating the surveillance cameras at the scene of the crime.Afterwards, they are having the scenes evaluated by police trainers in order to separate right from wrong police acting. In the end, the public prosecutor’s office must decide on a charge.Investigations are currently underway, in particular against a 29-year-old police officer. He has taken a few days off in order to work through the accusations, his lawyer Christoph Arnold reports. “What particularly irritates him is the fact that he is lumped together with the violent death of the US-African-American George Floyd caused by policemen in Minneapolis. According to his information, a blood-stained mouthguard was also found on the young man. These utensils are used not only by boxers but also by football hooligans when they get into a brawl with rival groups to protect their teeth. Investigators refused to confirm or deny this when asked.In addition to the proceedings against the police officers, the prosecutors are also investigating 15-year-old Ali M. for resisting law enforcement officers. This is not the first criminal case that is brought against him. More cases can be found in his criminal file. According to Christian Democrat Gregor Golland, the CDU interior affairs politician, “the alleged victim is a violent youth who has deliberately attacked police officers. The hunt and the incitement by Social Democrats and Greens against police officers who are risking their lives every day is unbearable.Apart from that, the police may expect new trouble in the case over the weekend. Supporters of the young man have called for a protest march through downtown Düsseldorf.

“I wasn’t trying to do anything but get a drink,” Adam Haner told KATU. Haner was viciously attacked by a BLM supporter. “I wasn’t the enemy, I’ll tell you that. I was just the guy standing there, and I was white, evidently,” he explained. According to Haner that he had previously marched in BLM protests.

“I was for that. I’ve had cops beat me up before. I was for their [BLM] cause,” he told KPTV.

Haner emphasized that he had done or said nothing offensive to the black crowd — but both he and his girlfriend, Tammie Martin, were assaulted by BLM supporters who had started denouncing them as white supremacists for no reason.

“I remember vaguely being on the ground […] Then I don’t remember anything. And then two days later I wake up” in an intensive care unit.

Meanwhile, YouTube has been purging all videos of the attack on Haner. While anyone can watch George Floyd allegedly “murdered” by police thanks to edited footage, all videos of racial violence against whites are systematically taken down.

This week, a racoon met with a similar fate in New York City. After the animal is run over, the panicked and injured animal is beaten to death with a baseball bat by two black men while black onlookers celebrate and cheer. The alleged niece of one of the men responded on social media that “only white peoples worry about this”.

Not only are raccoons being killed in the streets of New York City, the Wall Street Journal reported that the city also recorded “an 84,6 percent rise in shooting victims” compared with the same period in 2019.
