A Jewish Israeli man was sentenced on Tuesday to 400 hours of community service and a $2,200 fine after participating in a group assault on a Palestinian returning home from work.

Daniel Cohen Shor was "convicted of his own admission in a plea bargain deal for the crime of aggravated battery," reported Haaretz.

The Jerusalem District Court judge justified the light sentence "because of the man's personal circumstances and because he accepted responsibility for his actions".

Cohen Shor, along with five others, attacked a 45-year-old Palestinian - named only as "N." - as he returned home from work near Al-Walaja, south of Jerusalem.

Comment: More details from Haaretz:
Daniel Cohen Shor was convicted of his own admission in a plea bargain deal for the crime of aggravated battery. He attacked, along with five others, N., a resident of the town of Walaja just south of Jerusalem who was on his way home from work. N., 45, works in the poultry coop in nearby Moshav Even Sapir.

The attackers tried to take hold of the donkey he was riding and when he objected, they threw a stone at him. He had a hard time breathing and after the group gathered around him they threw two more stones at him. One of the stones hit him in the ribs on the right side and the other stone hit his left ear.

The trial of the other defendants involved in the incident is still underway. Cohen Shor is expected to testify against the others involved in the incident.

Some of the group punched N. in the head and leg while he was lying on the ground while cursing him and calling him an "Arab son of a bitch," said the judge. N. required stitches in his ear and injuries to his back and leg and required medical treatment. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress and pain, the court was told.

At first, Cohen Shor denied the charges but a year ago he admitted to the acts in a plea bargain. The plea bargain did not include an agreement on the sentence. Prosecutors asked for a prison sentence of one to three years, while his lawyer said Cohen Shor did not instigate the attack and was just one of those involved
.
At 19, Shor gets a slap on the wrist for being party to a serious assault, while Palestinian Ahed Tamimi, 17, is sent to prison for eight months for merely slapping a fully-armed soldier after her brother was gravely wounded by an IOF rubber bullet. Hypocrisy much?

A detective inspector with Greater Manchester Police has been convicted of strangling his wife and dumping her body in a lake. The trial heard he was a big spender and killed her after a row over a loan he had signed for without her knowledge.

Darren McKie, 43, admitted the manslaughter of his wife Leanne during the trial at Chester Crown Court but on Friday, March 23, he was convicted of murder.

The jury had heard she had found out he had applied for a £54,000 (US$61,900) joint loan without her knowledge.

On the day of the murder McKie left work at Stretford police station in Manchester after his wife angrily texted him, calling him a "liar" and saying she had discovered the loan application.

"What produced the argument that led to her death was that he'd been found out in committing serious criminal offences," said prosecutor Nigel Power QC.

The body of the 39-year-old detective constable was found in Poynton Lake in Cheshire on September 29 last year. She had been strangled.

US to allocate $250mn to 'tackle Russian influence' despite soaring military spending & budget deficit

US capitol building
The US is allocating $250 million to counter Russian influence, according to a government spending bill, which also provides for a record boost in US defense spending and a significant sum for military assistance to Ukraine.

With claims and allegations of Russian meddling swirling around Washington DC since the 2016 election, "not less than $250,000,000 shall be made available to carry out the purposes of the Countering Russian Influence Fund," the 2,200-page Consolidated Appropriations Act, unveiled by the US Congress on Wednesday, states.

While accusing Moscow of interference in the US election, the bill makes no effort to hide America's own plans to meddle in Russia's internal affairs. "Funds appropriated by this Act shall be made available to support democracy programs in the Russian Federation, including to promote Internet freedom," the document reads.

Comment: The Kiev regime is proving to be an unending monetary black hole, but the neocons still think it's worth it.

Brainwashing Children: UK news website for kids writes article describing Putin as Europe's "most dangerous leader since Hitler"

In case pupils in the UK don't understand the headlines on Russia and its president, a special publication for kids explains how "toxic Putin" is poisoning the West, without bothering to distinguish between fact and allegation.

The Day, a news website that produces short articles about current affairs meant to be used as teaching aids in British schools, has offered students two alternatives to believe about Vladimir Putin: he is either Europe's "most dangerous leader since Hitler," or a puffed up figure attacking other nations out of weakness.

The alternatives are a classic example of 'Russophrenia' - a popular notion claiming that Russia is both the biggest threat to humanity and a country on the brink of collapse. Apparently, some media in the UK want to impose the condition on readers before they even grow up. One in three schools is subscribed to the publication.

The article, titled "'Toxic' Putin on mission to poison the West," recounts the many accusations against the Russian government, from shooting down the flight MH17 over Ukraine, to waging a "digital blitzkrieg" against Europe and ordering a chemical weapon attack against Sergei Skripal, while carefully avoiding making a statement out of each.

Harrowing footage of the moment police apparently mistook a cell phone for a gun before firing 20 bullets into a suspected vandal has been released. Sacramento police are investigating the shooting of the unarmed black man.

Stephon Clark, 22, was confronted by police officers and shot dead in the backyard of his grandmother's home last Monday, the Sacramento Bee reports.

According to the local police department, officers had been dispatched to the neighbourhood following a call that a male "wearing a black hoodie and dark pants" was breaking into vehicles.

At around 9.25pm local time, a helicopter support team directed police to a backyard where an alleged suspect, who was observed hopping a fence, was deemed to be hiding. Police in the sky had earlier warned that the man had picked up a "toolbar" and broke a window to a residence.

Fake News CNN cancels interview with conservative Parkland shooting survivor over retweet

parkland shooting
It took five weeks for Kyle Kashuv, a conservative Parkland shooting survivor, to be granted an interview with CNN, despite several of his classmates getting plenty of airtime. Having finally won an interview with Brooke Baldwin, the network has now canceled his appearance.

Apparently, it has to do with one of his retweets.

Kashuv's friend called to tell him the network had disinvited him. The tweet that got him booted was one composed by sports journalist Clay Travis , who called Baldwin a "fake news hypocrite."

Jordan Peterson is the alpha male America needs and the reason why he sparks outrage

Jordan Peterson
Long before the Right (or the Left) noticed Jordan Peterson's right-of-center political bend, he was a sound academic, an intellectually honest lecturer, and YouTube "star." Which is why so many people can't stand him, save for the few of course who love him. The few who love him do so precisely because of the reason everyone hates him.

Women on the Right especially love Peterson because he tells men to man up - see the "Tragic Story of the Man-Child" - and that's why a lot of men abhor his take-it-or-leave-it call to manhood. More mature members of the millennial or Generation X generations appreciate reading or listening to his no-nonsense advice rooted in common sense and psychological underpinnings - which is exactly what most of the younger generations can't stand him. All this is why America needs this Canadian, and why he has become an "overnight" sensation that has been brewing for decades.

Anti-war Trump supporters are now out of reasons to support the president

bolton
Mere days after promoting Mike "I'm going to make the CIA a much more vicious agency" Pompeo to Hillary Clinton's old job as Secretary of State, President Trump has replaced his National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster with John Bolton, who Glenn Greenwald just described as "unstable, monstrous and bloodthirsty," and "an actual sociopath in the clinical sense of that term."

Greenwald is not being hyperbolic; there is no more bloodthirsty a war hawk in Washington than John Bolton. Just last month he authored an article for the Wall Street Journal arguing in favor of a preemptive strike on North Korea, in which he cited a quote from Pompeo as part of his argument. Bolton calls for regime change in every rival of the US empire on a regular basis, he knowingly advanced lies to help manufacture support for the Iraq invasion, he revived the US-Russia arms race by leading America's withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, advocates more escalations with both China and Russia, and has spent his entire career pushing for death and destruction at every opportunity.

This latest move makes it abundantly clear that wars are planned, and a team is being assembled to help facilitate them. There is only one thing John Bolton knows, and that's killing. He would not be appointed to National Security Advisor (a position which does not require Senate approval) unless large amounts of killing were planned. That is what John Bolton does. It is what he is for. He is a weapon.
