Students at the University of Washington are demanding that black students should not face difficult exams and time constraints because they are too “busy fighting for [their] rights to sit down and study”.

And the university thinks it is a good idea: It is currently advising professors to pass black students on the basis of race after an online petition gathered more than 26 000 signatures.

“You need to encourage and demand professors to accommodate their black students during this time. If UW truly understands our pain, UW will be a part of alleviating it,” the petition states.

Nicole McNichols, UW Psychology Professor told Campus Reform that she supported the move. “Obviously, I support the petition and absolutely believe the accommodations it requests should be honored by all faculty. Students need all of the support and compassion we can afford to give them right now.”

The email sent by McNichols to her students reads: “First, the remaining homework chapters are being put into review mode. Everyone will receive full points. Second, I have decided to drop everyone’s lowest exam score. This means that you may opt-out of taking Exam 3 if you just don’t feel up to it, (or if you [are] happy with your scores from exam 1 and 2).”

UW Senior Director of Media Relations Victor Balta said that all staff were asked “to consider that while we are together as a community, some are being affected more than others”.

The account of the Golden Dawn party in Greece and of the German neo-Nazi group Better Hanover, to mention only some profiles that Twitter has banned for violating the rules against hate speech, antisemitism and racism. Or the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, forced to cancel a tweet in which he compared the Jews to “termites”.But when the Supreme guide of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, compares Israeli Jews to “cancer”, Twitter glosses over it.

Khamenei published a poster that evokes the “final solution”. We see Jerusalem conquered by terrorists. There are no more Jews and the poster is dominated by the inscription: “Palestine will be free. Final solution”.

Requests were immediately made to ban Khamenei’s Twitter account. Requests that, as we know, were ignored. Khamenei has just “clarified” on Twitter that the expression “final solution” (coined by the Nazis in Wannsee) does not refer to the Jews, but “only” to Israel. And he concluded his new tweet with the textual words: “Eliminating Israel & it will happen”. And Iran, to ensure that “it will happen.” finances anti-Israeli terrorist groups with billions of dollars.

With a letter to the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, the new Israeli minister for Strategic affairs Orit Farkash-Hacohen asked for the “immediate suspension” of Khamenei’s account “for his constant publication of anti-Semitic and genocidal posts”. A year ago, a tweet from the Iranian leader raised doubts about Twitter’s terms of service. Khamenei had already tweeted: “Israel is a cancerous malignant tumor in the region of western Asia that must be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen”.

Twitter rules dictate: “You cannot make specific threats of violence or desire serious physical harm, death or illness to an individual or group of people.” Yet, when Khamenei’s tweets are reported to the social direction, the answer is almost always the same: “There has been no violation of Twitter’s rules against abusive behavior”.

Twitter has just intervened to flag a tweet by Donald Trump against the vote by mail. At the bottom of the US president’s tweet, the social network called it “unsubstantiated”.

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,” Trump tweeted shortly before 1 a.m. Friday, adding, “Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts”. “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence,” read a gray box that then hided Trump’s tweet from public view unless a user clicks to see it.

Nothing like this has ever appeared on Khamenei’s tweets to signal his invocation for the destruction of the state of six million Israeli Jews.

We are in full algorithmic paradox.

The paradox is that the Global Times, a sort of British Pravda of the Chinese Communist Party, spreads anti-American propaganda on Twitter, which is banned in China, on how American soldiers brought Covid-19 to Wuhan last fall. Twitter, meanwhile, overshadowed the popular Zero Hedge website for publishing an article linking a Chinese scientist to the epidemic.

No less paradoxical than the announcement that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has decided against the use in the country of any Israeli product, including hardware or software. Maybe Jack Dorsey could help them: no Twitter to those who use it to invoke a new “final solution of the Jewish problem”. Otherwise, you are just a liberal hypocrite.

Illegal migrants attacked another church on the Greek island of Lesvos recently, throwing stones through its windows. Additionally, the migrant camp at Nea Kavala on the Greek mainland has been quarantined after the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered there.

The church, which is near the Moira migrant camp on Lesvos, is the latest in a string of churches in the region that have been attacked and desecrated by migrants, as previously reported by Voice of Europe. Makis Pavlellis, a local resident, said that “something very bad and dangerous has been going on for four months in the area,” according to a report by Greek City Times. “It looks organised and directed.”

Lesvos, which has a residential population of approximately 85,000, is currently hosting an estimated 25,000 illegal migrants, with half of them living at the Moira camp. Residents, while initially welcoming, have grown tired of their presence given the rise in incidents of disrespect, crime, and violence perpetrated by migrants.

Hungary has contributed $30,000 to help with restoring the damaged churches, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Meanwhile, in northern Greece, the migrant camp at Nea Kavala was quarantined yesterday after a pregnant woman tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus, according to another report by Greek City Times. Greek health authorities are now in the process of testing all of the camp’s residents.

The mayor of nearby Peonia ordered the closing of six schools where migrant children have been attending classes as a precaution. The buildings are being disinfected.

Migrants were transferred to Nea Kavala in northern mainland Greece from camps on the islands in the Aegean recently. The move was carried out to relieve overcrowding in the camps, which were considered at high risk for an outbreak of the virus. Spreading the migrants out was intended to enable them to practice social distancing measures.

Children infected with coronavirus are being sent into the Belgian school system by the country’s asylum agency (Fedasil) despite protests from local politicians over fears it could lead to an outbreak.

The Belgian federal agency for the reception of asylum seekers refuses to have asylum seekers from the Koksijde asylum center tested for COVID-19, even though there is a coronavirus outbreak in the reception center.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak at the center, Koksijde’s mayor, Marc Vanden Bussche, decided that no one should leave the center before they have been tested. Now, it seems that despite the explicit ban, Fedasil still sends these migrant children from the asylum center to nearby schools. Now, two of those migrant children have already tested positive for COVID-19, KW reports.

A few months ago, it was decided that a disused air force base and a number of older houses in Koksijde would once again be turned into a reception center for asylum seekers despite protests from the town.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, the municipality asked Belgium’s asylum agency to postpone the opening of the center, but that was not an option for Fedasil. Not long after the reopening, it turned out that there was a coronavirus outbreak in the facility.

“Because I wanted to avoid further spread of the coronavirus, it has been decided that no resident should leave the reception center until they have been tested for COVID-19,” Koksijde’s mayor Marc Vanden Bussche to KW.

“Now, it has become clear that Fedasil has sent children to our schools behind my back. Four children went to schools in Oostende, one child to the municipal school in Koksijde, and one child to the municipal school in Oostduinkerke. Fortunately, the director notified me. Two of the children tested positive for the coronavirus! I can’t imagine the consequences if we had admitted those children to school.”

Currently, the center still registers coronavirus cases, but Fedasil still refuses to have asylum seekers tested.

“It is unbelievable that Fedasil does not understand why it is so important that all residents of the center get tested,” said Koksijde’s mayor.

“In the asylum center, people have already tested positive for COVID-19, and it makes sense that I ask that everyone gets tested, especially when they want to send children to our schools. But Fedasil perceives that as a form of discrimination,” he said.

Vanden Bussche says he is fed up with Fedasil’s stubborn and arrogant attitude.

“I am concerned that Fedasil continues to deny that there could be a problem and that they do not respect the mayor’s decision. My only goal is to keep the center coronavirus-free,” said the town’s mayor.

“The municipality even proposed to pay for all coronavirus tests. I am now waiting for a response from public health authorities, but if this is not resolved soon, I will go to court. In the meantime, there will be stricter police supervision at the reception center.”

Beligum was recently criticized for a decision it made in 2015 to destroy 63 million medical masks to make room for migrants in a storage facility during the height of the migrant crisis. Now, critics are saying the country could have highly benefited from those supply of masks during the outbreak of the coronavirus in Europe.

It’s Wednesday evening, shortly after 8 pm: a fierce argument breaks out on the suburban train S3 from Basel to Olten. According to the Baselbieter police, the two people have only verbally argued the dispute at first.

However, as time goes by, the dispute becomes more and more intense. The skirmish escalates shortly at the Frenkendorf stop. Suddenly one of the opponents pulls out a knife and stabs the victim several times.

When the suburban train stops in Frenkendorf, the perpetrator flees with a buddy in an unknown direction. The severely injured victim remains on the train until Liestal. There he is supported by other passengers until the ambulance arrives. The man had to be taken to hospital with several stab wounds.

The suspected perpetrator, a 21-year-old Somali, as well as his 18-year-old buddy from Ethiopia, were caught near the Frenkendorf train station. Criminal proceedings have been initiated by the responsible authorities.

Two migrants of unknown origin entered the St. Alexander Nevsky church in the Serbian capital Belgrade on Sunday and then robbed several attendants of the liturgy of their money and mobile phones. Those attending the church service managed to catch one of the thieves and hand him over to police to the scene, but the other got away.

“There were two of them, they broke into the church during the liturgy, which was in progress, and they stole two purses, and three mobile phones,” Vajo Jović, the elder of the Serbian Orthodox Church, told Serbian news site nova.rs.

“Upon entering the temple, they split up on two sides, and the people, seeing what was happening, managed to catch one of them and take away his mobile phones and the money he stole. The other managed to escape, he took two purses, in one there were 3,500 dinars, while in the other there were 18,000, which was the entire pension of one woman,” Jović said.

Jović expressed outrage over a robbery that occurred in a house of worship.

“We handed that young man over to the police, while the other managed to escape,” Jović said. “This is an insult. Isn’t anything sacred to people,, such as the liturgy? Terrible.”

In January this year, Greece relocated to the mainland several thousand migrants crammed on its Mediterranean Island near the Turkish coast. While the onset of the coronavirus pandemic has kept them in Greece, the country has reopened its asylum office in the second half of May, leading to an increase of the migrants seeking to reach Western Europe via the Balkans migration route.

Although there have been a number of attacks on churches by migrants in recent times, outright robberies of parishioners appears to be a new escalation.

According to the latest update of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are currently 8,052 migrants in Serbia, the majority of them in 19 refugee centers across the country. Their stated countries of origin are Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Iran, Morocco and Palestine. The Serbian government lifted all its coronavirus-related movement restrictions on May 14 and the migrants now have freedom of movement on the territory of the country.

In compliance with a recent verdict of the European Court of Justice, Hungary has closed both its transit zones at Röszke and Tompa on its border with Serbia and migrants can only apply for asylum at the Belgrade consulate.

Two men aged 33 and 34 years jointly hit a 23-year-old and his 18-year-old female companion at the Bad Cannstatt train station on Saturday evening at about 11:00 pm. According to the current state of investigation, the 33-year-old Iraqi and the 34-year-old Moroccan suspects got into an argument with the 23-year-old on platform 3 of the Cannstatt station, as one of the men had probably previously harassed the female companion of the later victim.When the 23-year-old wanted to stop this behaviour, one of the two perpetrators apparently punched him in the face several times with his fist. Afterwards, they are said to have pushed the young man several times, so that he almost fell against a suburban train that was departing at the same time.When the female companion tried to stop the alcoholized attackers, it is said that she too was hit in the face several times. One of the suspects apparently then took a key in his hand and attacked the victim again. When several previously uninvolved travelers finally separated the men, the 33-year-old fled, but was temporarily arrested by a patrol of the state police in the vicinity. Alarmed rescue teams treated the two victims on site as outpatients.The 23-year-old suffered minor injuries to his hand and face. His female companion felt severe pain in her jaw due to the incident. The men, who live in Stuttgart and in the Esslingen district, must now expect a criminal complaint on suspicion of dangerous bodily injury. Witnesses of the incident are asked to report to the federal police by calling +49711870350.

The Israeli daily Ha’aretz reported on May 19, 2020 that “Germany and the Palestinian Authority (PA) released a joint statement expressing ‘grave concern’ over Israel’s declared intention to begin annexing parts of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley. The same German government has ignored Israel’s legal rights in Judea and Samaria and imposed Nazi-like sanctions on Israeli products from these Jewish communities.

Germany has been on the side of Israel’s enemies time and again. Germany was a partner in the 2015 flawed Iran nuclear deal, which Israel vehemently opposed, charging that it gave the radical Islamic Republic a clear path to a nuclear bomb. Germany has also been Iran’s major trading partner, and a leader in thwarting the U.S. imposed sanctions on the ayatollah’s dictatorship. The Iranian regime has repeatedly threatened to “wipe the Jewish state off the map.”

Germany is also opposed to the Trump administrations “deal of the century” Middle East peace plan, which Israel overwhelmingly supports. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, complained that the Trump plan required a “balanced approach.” He stated that, “Only a negotiated two-state solution acceptable to both sides can lead to a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.” In his apparent pro-Palestinian bias, Maas clearly ignored Mahmoud Abbas’ (Palestinian Authority President) repeated rejections of Israel’s peace proposals, including the 2008 generous peace offer by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s repeated invitations to Abbas to come to the negotiating table. Abbas also rejected the Trump peace plan even before it was presented.

Germans are guilty of perpetrating the greatest crime in history, the industrial liquidation of European Jewry, known as the Holocaust. Germany’s history, moreover, is replete with antisemitic violence against Jews. Whether during the crusades, or the ‘hep hep’ pogroms against the Jews throughout Germany in 1819, ostensibly aimed against Jewish emancipation. Germany has been, throughout history, a leading source of antisemitism and anti-Jewish racism. Today, with the memory of the Holocaust still fresh, German hostility to the Jewish state, although hidden from view, is alive and well in Germany’s Foreign Ministry, and it is reflected in its major policies.

The German Foreign Ministry is working behind the scenes to delegitimize Israel by funding Non-Governmental Agencies (NGO’s) that work openly do that job. At the same time, the German Foreign Ministry unknowingly or intentionally is damaging the relationship between Germany and Israel. All this is done while official Berlin is releasing declarations about Germany’s moral obligations to the Jewish state.

This dichotomy is perhaps a symptom of Germany’s latent antisemitism on one hand, and its efforts to re-brand itself as a new Germany, to redeem itself from its sordid past. German society has never truly confronted its antisemitism in the post war era. Contemporary Germans have a ready excuse that they have atoned for the Holocaust by restoring synagogues, (which they burned and destroyed in 1938 during the Kristallnacht pogroms) and built memorials for the dead Jews (that they are responsible for killing). Antisemitism is, however, pervasive throughout German society. For more than 20 years after WWII, about 100 former members of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party held high ranking positions in the West German Justice Ministry.

A recent study which reviewed former Justice Ministry personnel files, showed that the prevalence of former Nazi officials in the Justice Ministry allowed them to shield one another from post-war justice. Some of these former Nazi officials took part in the murderous violence known as Kristallnacht. The presence of many Nazis in the post-war German administration created a sense of denial about Nazi crimes. For many Germans, the Nuremberg Trials were merely a kind of “victors justice,” and not Nazi Germany barbarism and genocide. Germans today, to repress their guilt for the Holocaust, are practicing what amounts to a “secondary antisemitism.” They resent living Jews for reminding them of their guilt. They have assumed the role of victim, with the Jews being their victimizer. Hilda Walter, a German Jewish journalist quipped that “It seems the Germans will never forgive us for Auschwitz.”

These days, while the German government expresses concern over growing antisemitism in Germany, it is funding antisemitic NGO’s. According to NGO-Monitor, “Officially, German funding is aimed at combatting poverty, securing food, establishing peace, democracy and human rights…However, German federal funding is allocated to, among others, organizations that promote anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions), lawfare campaigns, anti-Zionism, a one-state vision, antisemitism, and violence.”

The vehicle to disburse funding to Israel’s enemies is the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The BMZ is the primary federal authority managing German development policy. With a budget of 10.2 billion euros (2019), the BMZ provided the Palestinian territories with 85.7 million Euros in 2016. German government generosity includes the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ), a leading group engaged in political warfare against Israel. It is promoting BDS, and regularly levels false accusations of Israeli apartheid and racism, and support for a Palestinian “right of return,” which is inimical to a two-state solution. Miftah is another Palestinian organization funded by German government largesse. This group promotes resistance against Israel, which means terror attacks. It regularly accuses Israel of perpetrating “massacres,” cultural genocide, war crimes, and apartheid.

The German Foreign Ministry’s particularly harmful action has been the subversion of the Germany-Israel Friendship Association, which was formed in 1966 (a year after diplomatic relations were established between the two countries). The Association has 50 branches across Germany and between 5,000-6,000 members. The Association was, from the start, an a-political body supported by all German political parties, aimed to express their commitment to Israel. To expand its activities, the Association sought and received funding from the German government, and it has received 500,000 Euros annually, which is disbursed by the German Foreign Ministry.

The German government financial aid to the Association is not without a price. The Foreign Ministry used the aid to subjugate the Association to its policies, which often times contradicts Germany’s alleged commitment to Israel’s security. The same Foreign Ministry regularly votes against Israel in international bodies, including the UN.

The Association Board of Directors was ordered by the Foreign Ministry to immediately cease dealing with issues pertaining to UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency). Germany is the top donor to this agency specifically devoted to the Palestinians, and to no other refugees. UNRWA, as an organization, is committed to the destruction of the Jewish state by serving as an incubator for Palestinian terrorists. The Association was instructed to focus only on cultural activities affiliated with a particular political camp – the Israeli left.

In what amounts to a sharp blow to pro-Israel activities in Germany, the German Foreign Ministry announced that it is curtailing its financial support from a project used by the Association in conjunction with pro-Israel groups called “Days of Israel,” which are held around Israel’s Independence Day. “Days of Israel” activities take place in major German cities and towns. It includes speeches, performances, movies, and information booths that promote Israel. It is apparent that the biased German Foreign Ministry resents the pro-Israel message that the “Days of Israel” represents. They would rather have the Association present more “balanced” programs.

Young members of the Association on Study Tours to Israel were instructed by the German Foreign Ministry to avoid civic organizations associated with the political Right. They were especially warned not to meet with Jewish “settlers.” They were however, encouraged to meet with radical Leftist organizations.

It is becoming increasingly clear whose side Germany is on.

A previously classified German intelligence report on Wednesday revealed widespread Islamic-animated antisemitism among Muslim organizations in the federal republic, including defective statistics about the origin of crimes due to Jew-hatred.
The German paper Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) first reported on the document that is “a special file of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.” The federal office (BfV) is the rough equivalent to the Shin Bet and it noted in the file that a Syrian teacher declared on June 4, 2018 in the city of Solingen in the middle of his lesson that “all Jews belong in the gas chamber.”

The report said that on June 2, 2018, the recoding clerk for a branch of the German-Turkish radical Islamic association Furkan told his guests that with respect to the children of Israel, the Jews, “Don’t be like beings that are worth less than animals.” He added that the Jews were the cursed and that they betrayed Moses.Lethal antisemitism targeting Israel was also present in the report. An Imam who preached at a Turkish state-allied Millî-Görüş mosque in an unidentified German city on December 8, 2017 declared, “Free Palestine in no time,” adding the need to “Deliver the whole community of Muhammad from the evil sons of Israel.”According to the intelligence agency, there are already 700 cases listed in this “case collection of antisemitic events with a suspected Islamist background,” wrote SZ.The paper noted that the former interior minister Thomas de Maizière started to chronicle Jew-hatred among Muslims in 2015, including the arrival of Muslim refugees and migrants. The SZ, which titled its article “Hatred of Jews in the Friday Sermon,” reported that “Domestic intelligence eavesdroppers were present on both occasions” at the radical Islamic Turkish meetings.

The intelligence report noted a case of another Syrian person who said in a German city on April 26, 2018 that Israelis murder babies in Palestine and Jews deserve to be beaten. Neither the city nor the Syrian were identified.The names of the antisemites were not disclosed in the SZ report.Thomas Haldenwang, president of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency BfV, told the SZ that antisemitism is part of the basic equipment of Islamist ideologies. Hostility to Jews is “represented by practically all noteworthy Islamist organizations that are active in Germany,” whether it be Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Millî-Görüş, Hezbollah or the Islamic State.The SZ reported that approximately 20 antisemitic acts of violence by Muslim perpetrators were documented in this case collection. The paper added that there were roughly 80 antisemitic statements in the private sphere, and around 350 statements on social media.According to the paper, “The police do not count crimes committed by Muslim antisemites in a reliable manner at all.”A distorted statistical picture emerges, noted the SZ, because when there are doubts, everything is lumped into the “right-wing extremist” category by the Federal Criminal Police Office, which compiles the annual crime statistics.The SZ wrote that “All official statistics, according to which 70, 80 or 90 percent of all antisemitic attacks in Germany are carried out by right-wing radicals, should therefore be read with great skepticism.”Last week, Charlotte Knobloch, the president of the Munich Jewish community told The Jerusalem Post that three German MPs should resign from the German-Palestinian Society becasue the organization supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign against Israel. The German Bundestag classified BDS as antisemitic last year. The three MPs are the Social Democrat Aydan Özogus, the  Green party’s Omid Nouripour, and the Left party’s Christine Buchholz. BDS , according to its critics, seeks the abolition of the Jewish state.
