Israel is planning to block its Arab citizens from living in almost 1,000 neighborhoods and villages under the pretext that they were built for Jews only, Quds Press reported on Tuesday. According to a report in Haaretz, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) is set to discuss a law to build Jew-only areas in the country.

Describing the proposed legislation as "racist", the director of the Alternative Planning Centre, which specialises in planning and construction, said that it aims to prevent Arabs from living in new neighborhoods. Hanna Sweed added that municipalities used to prevent Arab citizens from living in Jewish neighborhoods, but this practice looks set to become enshrined in law.

"There have been indirectly-racist laws in Israel," explained Sweed, "but this law stipulates clearly the building of Jewish neighborhoods without any Arab residents." He warned that this might lead to more racist laws to put extra limits on Israel's Arab citizens, who make up 20 per cent of the population.

The former MK pointed out that there is no law that prevents Jews from living in Arab neighborhoods. "What's more, consecutive Israeli governments have built hundreds of Jewish towns and neighborhoods in occupied Palestine [Israel], but have never built any Arab neighborhoods since 1948."

Comment: The Bum's Rush is but the next elimination squeeze play on the Arab/Palestinian population after revoking their rights, degrading their existence, demolishing their neighborhoods, imprisoning their children, and committing violence against them.

Judicial Watch announced that a hearing will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2017, regarding Hillary Clinton's emails from her tenure as secretary of state from February 2009 to January 31, 2013 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00687)).

Judicial Watch has asked the court to increase the State Departments processing requirement of 500 pages of Clinton emails per month. It has also requested the court order the State Department to provide the number of records withheld in full and provide information on the withheld records.

The State Department acknowledged in their last status report to the court they have processed 32,000 of the 72,000 pages of records turned over by the FBI. Under the current pace of production, the Clinton emails and other records will not be completely released until at least 2020.

At the previous October 19, 2017 hearing, Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order in response to Judicial Watch's requests instructing the State Department to explain on November 30 "how its anticipated increase in resources will affect processing of records in this case..."

Crazed war hawk Nikki Haley threatens to totally destroy N. Korean regime if war breaks out

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley ratcheted up talk of war with North Korea in reaction to the isolated country's most recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, warning that Kim Jong-un's government is on a road to ruin.

During an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Haley asked the members of the panel to increase the sanctions imposed on North Korea and to implement penalties established by the council earlier in the year, The Hill reported.

Haley also warned the panel that North Korea's latest missile test has brought Pyongyang and Washington "closer to war."

"If war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed," Haley said.

"The dictator of North Korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war, not farther from it," Ambassador Haley added.

Comment: Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made the obvious point about N. Korea's ICBM tests, which is that the US is deliberately trying to provoke North Korea. He called out the US to clearly say what they intend to do in North Korea:
"The Americans should start with explaining their intentions to us all. If they are really looking for an excuse to destroy North Korea, as the US envoy to the UN said at a Security Council meeting, let them spell it out clearly and let the US leadership confirm it. Then we will decide how to react"

Cut off from Russian markets, Ukraine's economy shrinks by 20%

Kiev lost $15 billion after Russia closed its borders to consumer goods from Ukraine. It is almost a fifth of the country's GDP.

"The sum [lost] is about $15 billion," said Ukraine's Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv on Thursday.

"In 2014, the annexation of the Crimea and the conflict in the east resulted in a 20 percent loss for the economy, seven percent of the territory," Kubiv added. Moscow's position is that an absolute majority of Crimean people voted for secession from Ukraine and re-joining Russia in a democratic referendum in 2014.

Comment: Ordinary Ukrainians are paying a heavy price for their leadership's groveling to the West in the faint hope of EU membership. Ukraine's only role was meant to be a 'thorn in the side of Russia'. It's clear Russia is well able to get along without Ukraine, but equally clear the opposite is not true. What will Poroshenko and co. do now?

'The time has come to finally lift the anti-Russian sanctions' - German FM urges US

The US should not seek further confrontation with Russia, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said. He added that his country is, on the contrary, interested in developing cooperation with Moscow.

"A discussion... in the US [about the policy toward Russia and particularly about the anti-Russian sanctions] should not be held in such a way that would lead to further confrontation with Russia," the minister said, talking to RT during the 10th Russian-German Resource Forum in St. Petersburg. He went on to say that Germany has fundamentally different interests in relations with Russia and is focused on developing a dialogue with Moscow.

"Despite some political differences, particularly those that concern... Crimea and the situation in the Eastern Ukraine, both sides [Russia and Germany] have genuine interest in developing cooperation in the fields of economy, politics and culture," Gabriel told journalists. He also said that "the right time has come for strengthening our economic partnership," adding that there are already "numerous forms of dialogue" between the two countries.

Awan tries to use "attorney-client privilege" to block access to laptop tied to Wasserman Schultz

A court date for a former Democratic IT aide has been postponed by more than a month after the defendant's attorney, a former Hillary Clinton aide, said he's seeking to block prosecutors from using evidence that appears to include a government laptop tied to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

"The government has been in discussions with counsel for the defendants regarding complex discovery issues and other legal issues in this case, in particular issues surrounding claims of attorney-client privilege being raised by defendant Imran Awan," court papers filed Tuesday say.

"Last night, counsel for both defendants indicated that they need additional time to review and analyze these issues, along with the voluminous discovery the government provided in this case," according to the documents. "The government consents to this request."

Chris Gowen, Awan's attorney, said at the last hearing: "We do expect there being an attorney-client privilege issue in this case... What occurred is a backpack from my client was found, he was trying to get a better signal, there was a note that said attorney client privilege and a hard drive. We feel very strongly about this."

Comment: What are Awan and Schultz trying to hide? Surely nothing unsavory...

Washington, the most corrupt government in history!

Robert Mueller, a former director of the FBI who is working as a special prosecutor "investigating" a contrived hoax designed by the military/security complex and the DNC to destroy the Trump presidency, has yet to produce a scrap of evidence that Russiagate is anything but orchestrated fake news. As William Binney and other top experts have said, if there is evidence of Russiagate, the NSA would have it. No investigation would be necessary. So where is the evidence?

It is a revelation of how corrupt Washington is that a fake scandal is being investigated while a real scandal is not. The fake scandal is Trump's Russiagate. The real scandal is Hillary Clinton's uranium sale to Russia. No evidence for the former exists. Voluminous evidence for Hillary's scandal lies in plain view.

Why are the clearly false charges against Trump being investigated and the clearly true charges against Hillary not being investigated? The answer is that Hillary with her hostility toward Russia and her denunciation of Russian President Putin as the "New Hitler" is not a threat to the budget and power of the US military/security complex, while Trump's aim of normalizing relations with Russia would deprive the military/security complex of the "enemy" it requires to justify its massive budget and power.

Why hasn't President Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Hillary? Is the answer that Trump is afraid the military/security complex will assassinate him? Why hasn't the Justice Department undertaken the investigation on its own? Is the answer that Trump's government is allied with his enemies?

How corrupt does Mueller have to be to agree to lead a fake investigation designed to overthrow the democratic election of the President of the United States? Why doesn't Trump have Mueller and Comey arrested for sedition and conspiring to overthrow the president of the United States?

Report: Netanyahu threatens to attack all Iranian facilities within 40 km of Golan Heights - Putin mediating secret deal between Syria and Israel

A bombshell report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to attack all Iranian facilities and assets within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of Israel's Golan Heights is circulating in Israeli media. The story, first picked up by The Jerusalem Post based on Israeli and Arab sources, also indicates that intense and potentially breakthrough back channel diplomacy between Assad and Netanyahu is currently being mediated via Vladimir Putin.

Though unconfirmed, what appears to be an ultimatum by Netanyahu could be the catalyst that finally pushes the Levant either toward broader war, or in the direction of de-escalation and regional stability after months of intensifying and provocative Israeli airstrikes on Syria and a corresponding war of words. The report also follows on the heels of a rare and unexpected visit of Assad to Sochi, Russia where he met with Putin just prior to trilateral talks between Russia, Iran, and Turkey over the future of Syria.

Netanyahu himself recently met with Putin in a reportedly contentious summit in August where the Israeli prime minister declared, "We cannot forget for a single minute that Iran threatens every day to annihilate Israel. Israel opposes Iran's continued entrenchment in Syria. We will be sure to defend ourselves with all means against this and any threat."

The Russian government has approved a draft agreement with Egypt which would allow the two countries to use each other's airspace and airbases. The agreement is yet to be negotiated with Cairo.

The draft, which was prepared by the defense ministry and agreed to by the foreign ministry, has been approved by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a PM decree published Thursday by a Russian government legal paperwork portal shows. The two ministries were instructed by the chair of the government to negotiate and sign the agreement with their Egyptian counterparts.
