Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has found himself at the center of a row with the political editor of the London radio station LBC, after the pair clashed live on-air over anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson.

In an on-air discussion hosted by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, political editor Theo Usherwood challenged Bannon on his belief that Tommy Robinson has "got to be released from prison."

Usherwood said that Robinson, who is serving a 13-month sentence for breaching reporting restrictions on a court case by live-streaming men entering Leeds Crown Court on Facebook, deserved to be jailed because he "broke the law." Bannon attempted to interject but Usherwood continued, telling the guest: "I'm calling you out on something..."

Chairman of the political bureau of the Hamas Palestinian Islamist movement, Ismail Haniyeh prays over the bodies of Palestinian teenagers Louay Kahil and Amir Al-Namara, who were killed in an Israeli air strike at a mosque during their funeral in Gaza City on July 15, 2018.

After two Palestinian teenagers have been killed, and hundreds more wounded by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, an Egyptian-led ceasefire was called on Saturday night between Israel and the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, who had fired several rockets into Israeli territory, injuring at least three people.

According to international media, and the Israeli army, Saturday's Israeli onslaught on the besieged Gaza strip marked the most intense daytime assault on the coastal enclave since Israel's 2014 offensive which left nearly 2,000 Palestinians dead.

The two slain Palestinian teens were identified by the Gaza Health Ministry as Amir al-Nimri, 15, and Luay Kaheel, 16. They were killed when Israeli airstrike targeted a semi-abandoned building in western Gaza.

Syrian military positions near Aleppo airport have come under a missile strike, state media reports, blaming Israel for the attack.

The strike targeted "one of our military positions north of the airport in Aleppo," a military source told the Syrian Arab News Agency, stressing that the damage from the aggression was "limited to material."

The source denounced the raid as a "desperate attempt to support the defeated terrorist groups" in Daraa and Quneitra, where the Syrian army is actively working to defeat them. Furthermore, the publication accused the IDF of being "directly involved" in raising the morale of militants from al Nusra and other terrorist groups.

ABC 7 KVIA reports that Texas Border Patrol agents have arrested two MS-13 gang members on two separate occasions this week for illegally entering the country. One of these illegal aliens has previously been deported from the United States four times.

Last Sunday, Border Patrol agents working near El Paso monitored a group of nine individuals walking through the desert close to the southern border on the American side. After several hours, the agents confronted the group and all members admitted to illegally entering the country.

Federal authorities ran the group's personal information and discovered one of the border crossers, 25-year-old William Amaya-Ortiz of El Salvador, is currently actively involved with the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.

Referee 'ruined' World Cup Final with penalty decision, stole game from 'people's champions' Croatia - Schmeichel

RT
Sun, 15 Jul 2018 23:55 UTC

Peter Schmeichel proclaimed Croatia his team of the tournament, and blamed referee Nestor Pitana for "ruining" the game by awarding France a VAR-reviewed penalty near the end of the first half with the scores tied at 1-1.

"In a World Cup Final it is a big moment, and the referee stole that moment. It deflated them. All the bravura, all the extra energy, everything they showed in the previous three comeback games disappeared," said Schmeichel. "This is exactly what this final did not deserve."

Chasing the game, Croatia went a further two goals behind, before getting one back, with the game finishing 4-2 to Les Bleus.

Has Ocasio-Cortez changed her stance on Palestine to please Zionist Democratic mega-donors?

Given the amount of attention Ocasio-Cortez's past pro-Palestine comments had received, her decision to walk back those positions just a few weeks after her primary win is particularly jarring.

Ocasio-Cortez “Evolves” Her Position on Palestine

During a recent interview with PBS and just two weeks after her historic upset victory against 10-term Congressman Joe Crowley (D-NY), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed already to be walking back from at least some of her more "radical" positions voiced prior to her Democratic primary win.

While her primary victory has certainly made the young New Yorker a new "rising star" in the Democratic Party, all the new attention seems to have come at a price, particularly as she now aims to court major Democratic Party donors as the general election approaches. Many of those donors, such as the Zionist entertainment billionaire Haim Saban, are unlikely to be supportive of her past positions on key issues, particularly her prior statements on Israel and Palestine.

British mainstream media paint a picture of almost universal support for climate action and overwhelming public hostility towards President Trump. But this is not the complete story.

Comment: Contrary to what Breitbart claimed above, there were rallies in London supporting Tommy Robinson and Donald Trump - but they were restricted to a certain time and location to avoid a confrontation with the anti-Trump demonstration. That didn't work, as confrontations did happen:

Clashes break out at 'Free Tommy Robinson', pro-Trump London rally

July 14, 2018

Fists were flying and bats were swinging as demonstrators at a Free Tommy Robinson rally were involved in clashes with counter protesters at an event in London. The rally joined a pro-Trump demonstration that took place earlier.

The 'Welcome President Trump' rally marched to Whitehall from the US embassy in Battersea at midday, while the Tommy Robinson demonstration started to gather at around 2pm. The crowd featured numerous people carrying "Britain supports Trump" placards.

Police had issued restrictions on the demonstrations amid fears of confrontations with counter protesters. Activists were handed leaflets explaining that anyone who contravened the timing and location of the demonstration could face prosecution.

A separate counter protest against the rally took place close by on Parliament Street. Pictures from the scene show activists involved in physical confrontations with counter protesters and police officers.

Well-known whistleblowers and journalists defend Julian Assange in online vigil

Over the weekend, dozens of public figures, including prominent whistleblowers and journalists, took part in a 36-hour international online vigil in defence of WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange.

The event was the third "Unity4J" vigil organised by independent journalist and New Zealand Internet Party leader, Suzie Dawson, since Assange's communications were cut-off by Ecuadorian authorities at their London embassy last March.

The vigil reflected the widespread public support for Assange, and opposition to the attempts to force him into British and US custody, where he faces possible espionage charges for exposing the war crimes and diplomatic intrigues of the major powers.

The speakers included individuals who have been persecuted by governments for taking a courageous stand against war and authoritarianism.

Israel's Khan Al-Ahmar demolition was in the plan for 40 years

Israel planned the demolition of Khan Al-Ahmar to make room for illegal settlements 40 years ago, newly-emerged documents have revealed.

The revelations show that Uri Ariel, now Israel's agriculture minister, approved plans for a "Jewish corridor" of illegal settlements that would require the demolition of Khan Al-Ahmar, a Palestinian Bedouin village situated east of Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank, Haaretz has revealed.

The plan, believed to have been written in the late 1970s, intended to establish the settlements on some 100,000 to 120,000 dunams (25,000 to 30,000 acres) of Palestinian land. This land included the villages of Hizme, Anata, Al-Azariya and Abu Dis, all outlying villages of Jerusalem, as well as other Palestinian lands in Wadi Qelt, the Kidron Valley and Horkania Valley between Jerusalem and Jericho.
