Several Muslim graves have been vandalized at a historic cemetery next to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem. Palestinian officials blamed Israeli Nature and Parks Authority, saying the demolition aimed at making space for a natural park.

The alleged Israeli parks authority team entered the Bab al-Rahma cemetery on Tuesday morning accompanied by soldiers and proceeded to demolish the graves.

"Personnel from the so-called 'Israeli Nature Authority' - backed by large numbers of Israeli forces - stormed the historical Bab al-Rahmeh cemetery and knocked down eight graves," Mustafa Abu Zahra, head of the committee for the preservation of Islamic cemeteries in Jerusalem, told the Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency.

Comment: The Israeli shallowness, it knows no depth.

A medical check was carried out on the prince to ensure he was fit before the flogging was carried out by a policeman.

'If I was a Hillary supporter, I'd win a Pulitzer Prize': O'Keefe to RT on speaking the truth and exposing Democratic fraud

Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe has been vilified in the mainstream media for his four-video series, 'Rigging the Election' ‒ charges he believes are unfair. He joins RT America's Lindsay France in the FishTank to discuss his investigation.

The biggest complaint against O'Keefe's undercover operation from his critics was that it was "selectively edited," he tells France, insisting that all he did was consolidate "hundreds of hours of tape" into "a coherent storyline, connecting various dots" ‒ just like any journalist would do.

"All journalism is edited. The words 'selectively edited' is a misnomer, I mean, what journalism is not produced?" he says."On TV, you see these guys [saying] I'm a criminal and I'm a liar" for how he produces his stories. "All of my journalism requires using pretenses and undercover work."

Hi, I'm Glenn Beck and I'm delusional: 'Putin is giving guns and ammo to the alternative-right in Europe' - satire (sort of)

Glenn Beck
Me.
A tasty sampling of word goo, from your favorite political commentator, me, Glenn Beck.

Hi. Glenn Beck here. Just wanted to say thank you to Russia Insider for agreeing to republish some of my thoughtful thoughts about Vladimir Putin, Nazis, Vladimir Putin giving guns to Nazis to shoot people with....stuff like that.

Here are some actual things that I recently said on my televised news program, Glenn Beck Wears a Hat at Grandma's House:
Okay. I want to talk to you about something. I want to talk to you about Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin has now upped the game and is now funneling money, training, and terror to the alt-right in Europe. [...]

There is a — what a surprise, cop-killing spree in Hungary. The neo-Nazis are fueling a lot of this. And the cop-killing spree, as they went in and they caught one of these cop killers, they found out, "Holy cow, look at, this is a neo-Nazi. This is an old neo-Nazi. He's 70 years old. He's been coordinating this?"

But they also found guns and training from Vladimir Putin's Russia. They now have — their version of the FBI has on tape Russian operatives going over in Europe, specifically in this case Hungary, coming in and training terrorists, alt-right terrorists.

Comment: Geeze - yet another wacky and delusional American pundit whose grip on reality is in the crapper. But this has been a long time in coming for Beck:

Austria: Iraqi refugee rapes 10yo boy, conviction overturned

Austrian police, accused iraqi rapist

An Iraqi refugee who raped a 10-year-old boy at a swimming pool, calling it a "sexual emergency," has had his conviction overturned after a court in Austria concluded that the 20-year-old attacker may have been unaware the boy did not want to be abused. The assailant, identified as Amir A., was taken to the Theresienbad pool in Vienna in December of last year as part of the integration process into Austrian society. He was also provided with a 15-year-old translator to help him integrate.

Once at the pool, Amir A, who had worked as a taxi driver in Iraq, dragged a 10-year-old schoolboy into the changing rooms, locked the door and violently sexually assaulted him. The boy, known only by his first name, Goran, told a lifeguard he had been attacked, and the police were called. He suffered severe internal injuries and was rushed to a children's hospital. He is still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

After the incident, Amir A. reportedly returned to the swimming pool as if nothing had happened, continuing to have fun and using the diving board.

The assailant, who came to Austria via the Balkans in September 2015, confessed to the rape, saying he had acted because of a "sexual emergency" as he had not had sex for four months. When asked if such actions were legal in his home country, he admitted he knew that "such acts were forbidden in any country of the world," Kronen Zeitung daily reported.

Comment: Would this case have made international news if it didn't involve a refugee? Putting that aside, pedophilia gets a new excuse - "sexual emergency."

UPDATE 1/11/2016

The Russian president said:
[...] I can't get through my head what they are thinking over there [in Europe]. This is a result of the dilution of national traditions and values. I can't even explain the rationale. Is it a sense of guilt towards the migrants?...A society that cannot defend its children today, has no tomorrow. It has no future.
Putin also noted that Russia as a state, has encompassed multiple ethnicities and cultures for over 1000 years, and that unlike Europe, it has a proven track record of managing inter-ethnic relations.

Despite the presence of a vocal liberal minority, the great majority of Russians agree with their leader that if these are the kind of "European values" the West has on offer, it is better to remain the "backward" conservative society that continually draws the unfettered ire of liberal paragons in Europe and America.

The only question is whether eastern European nations such as Ukraine, Georgia, and Poland - which are in their inherent culture and moral outlook far more similar to Russia than to the modern Germans, Americans, and French - will come to their senses in time to save themselves from the cultural rot devouring the core of the societies with which they are presently so enamored.
