A prominent rabbi from the world's largest Jewish religious organization has been severely injured in a knife attack at a central train station in the western Ukrainian city of Zhitomir, prompting an airlift to Israel for emergency care.

Rabbi Mendel Deitsch, a longtime emissary of Chabad-Lubavitch, a prominent Jewish Orthodox organization, was delivered to an Israeli hospital on Saturday after he was found bleeding and unconscious in the western city of Zhitomir on Friday, the group said on its website. The attack took place near Zhitomir's central station and involved a knife attack and robbery, according to local media, citing Ukrainian police.

Deitsch, an Israeli-French national, was first taken to a local hospital with serious head injuries, where he underwent emergency surgery, but then his family arranged for him to be airlifted to Israel through the Israeli consulate in Kiev.

Chabad added that the rabbi's condition remains life-threatening, saying that it was too early to speculate as to whether anti-Semitism was behind the crime. "It should be noted that this is an unusual case that does not in any way reflect on the community in Ukraine," said Rabbi Shlomo Wilhelm, director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Zhitomir. "Apparently, this is not a case of anti-Semitism. Rabbi Deutsch was attacked and beaten while being robbed," he continued.

Comment: Notice how this almost-deadly incident in Ukraine was not immediately labeled a terrorist attack and anti-Semitism -- in contrast to any actions attributed to Palestinians, even rock throwing by young boys.

Explosions targeting military personnel on a passenger train killed at least three people and wounded 13 others in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province on October 7, officials said.

The attack, claimed by the separatist Baloch Liberation Army, came as the Rawalpindi-bound Jaffer Express was passing the town of Much, 55 kilometers east of Balochistan's provincial capital Quetta.

"We have rushed the rescue teams to the accident site," said provincial Home Secretary Akbar Harifal, who added that the identity of the passengers was not immediately clear.

A spokesman for the Baloch Liberation Army said the attack had targeted "military personnel who travel to Rawalpindi by this train."

Comment: As the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan heats up, so is the fracture point of Balochistan. As predicted:

hose demolitions Old City Jerusalem Israel
In another case, the Amro family also had their home destroyed. Three generations were made homeless.
A Palestinian family was forced to demolish parts of their own home in the al-Saadiya neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem's Old City on Monday, following an order from the Jerusalem municipality saying the rooms were built without the required Israeli-issued licenses.

Samer Idkik said that he demolished two rooms comprising 30 square meters which he built two and a half years ago, adding that they were being used as bedrooms for his children.

"I added the two rooms to the main house because my wife, our three children, and I used to live in only one room. Israeli municipality crews escorted by Israeli forces raided my house four months ago and delivered a demolition notice for the two rooms. The Israeli court ordered to postpone the demolition so I can demolish it by myself to avoid the demolition fees.

"Idkik is among many Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem who are forced to demolish their own homes in order to avoid paying costly municipality demolition fees.


Comment: So Israel destroys a family's home and charges them for it. How sick and twisted is that?


Comment: This is the "country" the U.S. tax payers just provided with a $38 BILLION dollar "aid" package.

Belgian police missed at least 13 opportunities to arrest the Paris attackers before the tragedy occurred, a leaked police report says, as cited by Belgian media. In about half of the cases, the information wasn't followed up on due to a lack of staff.

The report from the Permanent Oversight Committee on Police Services, also known as Committee P, was released in Belgium's De Tijd newspaper on Saturday.

"After the attacks in Paris on November 13 last year [2015], Committee P began to figure out what our [Belgian] police knew about the perpetrators," the paper said, citing police.

All in all, in six of the 13 "missed chances," police didn't examine suspicious conversations that the Paris attackers had, or forward them to higher authorities, due to a lack of resources.

Comment: While France has portrayed these operations as essential for maintaining global stability and security, it has done anything but. In addition to creating chaos from which torrents of refugees are now fleeing - all the way to Europe - it should be noted that a component of French involvement abroad is also the arming and funding of militant groups. This was especially so in Libya, where France helped install into power terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda. See also: Nice, France attack: A harvest of horror

All eight militants were killed by return fire, and both cars caught fire and burnt, he added.

The family of an innocent 10-year-old boy has recently filed a $4 million lawsuit on behalf of their son after he was shot by a trigger happy Georgia cop. The boy, Dakota Corbitt was shot in the back of his leg while officer Michael Vickers was attempting to kill his dog.

Dakota Corbitt and the rest of his family had done nothing wrong when they were swarmed by cops who held them at gunpoint before shooting the child.

The incident happened in July of 2014 when officers were looking for the suspect of an armed robbery and police shooting. The suspect, 19-year-old Christopher Barnett had fled to the woods near Corbitt's home.

During Barnett's apprehension, all hell broke loose as this innocent family had their rights violated at the hands of public servants.

According to the lawsuit, the defendants, Coffee County, Sheriff Doyle Wooten and deputy Michael Vickers, "jointly and severely deprived the plaintiffs and plaintiffs' minor children of their rights secured by the 4th and 14th Amendments of the United States and as a direct and proximate result of said deprivation defendants' negligence, gross negligence, and the wanton and willful indifference to the rights of the plaintiffs individually and the rights of the plaintiffs' minor children, caused the physical pain, suffering, mental anguish and ultimately the permanent restriction of one minor's right leg.

Four police officers have been hurt, two seriously, when their cars were set ablaze in the troubled Paris working class housing estate Grande Borne on Saturday.

"[A group of] fifteen people attacked the police cars at around 1500 hours," a representative of the police officers' union told BFM TV. "Stones were thrown, preventing the police from leaving their vehicles while they were targeted by Molotov cocktails."

"The burns were so severe that the two officers had to be treated onsite before being taken to a hospital. One of the officers had burns on over 30 percent of their hands. Other officers who arrived as reinforcements in a second car were also pelted with Molotov cocktails," added the spokesperson.

A poll released Tuesday found Americans like Russian dictator President Vladimir Putin more than presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

The poll, conducted by the Wall Street Journal and NBC News, is a telling reflection of the 2016 presidential race. Results show that Putin came in with a fairly low 38 percent of respondents holding a "very negative" view of him. Hillary Clinton came in just ahead of the dictator with 41 percent, while the presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump came in with a total of 44 percent.


Comment: And interestingly, despite the continued demonization of Putin and all things Russian, his popularity continues to grow, while ratings have not improved for either of the U.S. scandal plagued candidates.
