The family of three young Afghan brothers, allegedly killed in broad daylight by Britain's elite SAS soldiers, was paid "compensation" by the British government. The Sunday Times claims that following the incident, the family was paid £3,634 ($4,850).

The victims' mother, Bebe Hazrata, claims to have seen her three unarmed sons being gunned down by soldiers as they held their hands up in surrender in the courtyard of their home in Rahim, Afghanistan's Helmand province in 2012, according to The Sunday Times.

The woman reportedly said she saw her sons (Nor Mohammad, 33, Din Mohammad, 30, and Sher Mohammad, 27) being killed after they walked into the courtyard at the center of their house with their hands held up above their heads. The shots were allegedly fired by soldiers on the roof of the building. "As they came out from the rooms they [the SAS] told them to hold up their hands," she said. "The soldiers were aggressive and shouting but my sons didn't say a word to them. Then they opened fire and killed them. They have no links with the Taliban."

Does the current sexual harassment feeding frenzy display a society murdering due process?

Roy Moore
Let's not kid ourselves. The Roy Moore case is not really about Roy Moore. At root, it was never really about whether he sexually harassed anybody 40 years ago. Ultimately, it isn't even about the Senate seat that hangs in the balance. All of those are means to a much larger end.

The real story today is that emotional feeding frenzies in public discourse put us on a path that leads-unless something dramatic changes-to the end of due process. Due process and the rule of law are concepts fast becoming meaningless to Americans hypnotized by media.

Gilad Atzmon: Diaspora Jews have had enough of Israel and Zio-Barbarism

Attila Somfalvi, a leading Israeli journalist reports on Ynet that American Jews are showing signs of Zio-fatigue. Some prominent leaders of the Jewish American community have openly admitted that in recent years there has been a radical shift in attitudes about Israel. Many Diaspora Jews prefer to stay away from Israel and its Zionist leagues.

According to Somfalvi, many youths active in various Jewish organisations see Israel as "a burden." "Israel is not part of our day to day existence," said students at NYU as well as young members of Gather DC, an organization comprising about six thousand Jews who live in the American capital. "We don't really understand how Israel is connected to our Jewish identity; Israel is a tough subject so we gave up on it."

The Israeli paper admits, "Yes, in 2017 the state of Israel has become a sort of burden to American Jews. Many don't feel any connection to it; some believe that Israel makes them look bad vis-à-vis its policies in the territories."

Jewish-owned shops tagged with the word "Juif" - Jewish man confesses to doing it after "antisemitism" uproar in Marseille

graffiti Juif

Last weekend in Marseille, graffiti appeared on the shutters of Jewish shops: Juif [Jew]
A feeling of fear and disgust at the same time. On Friday and Saturday nights, a series of tags was discovered on the even-numbered side of the rue Roux-de-Brignoles, in the 6th arrondissement. Troubling tags in which just the word "Juif" [Jew] was written on walls and shop fronts.

The businesses were not chosen at random according to representatives of the Jewish community of Marseilles, who are convinced of the antisemitic character of the inscriptions. "The shops and shop fronts chosen belong to members of the community," warns David Assedou, an official at a synagogue in this sector of the town.

Endris Mohammed and his children Saros, 8, and Leanor, 6.
A father who smothered his two children with a petrol-soaked cloth after deciding that it was a "good day to die" has been found guilty of murder.

Endris Mohammed, 47, an Uber driver, tried to kill his wife by tampering with a gas pipe and setting fire to their home in Birmingham. He then set fire to himself in his car and suffered severe burns but survived.

Mohammed had denied the attempted murder of his wife, Penil Teklehaimanot, 37, and the murder of his son Saros, eight, and daughter Leanor, six, claiming diminished responsibility because of a depressive disorder. The defence said that he had financial troubles, partly because he had to pay £250 a week to rent his car.

Ms Teklehaimanot told the court that her husband had not seemed angry or irritable in the months before her children were killed and had played on an Xbox with their son hours before he killed him. She described him as "the perfect dad" and said that he was a gentle, quiet man.

Several buildings reportedly collapsed in a nearby residential area.
An explosion has rocked the port city of Ningbo in eastern China's Zhejiang province, leaving multiple casualties and causing nearby buildings to collapse, Chinese news agency Xinhua has reported.

The blast, which occurred in a factory at about 8:50 a.m. on Sunday, shattered windows up to a kilometer from the site, the South China Morning Post reports.

China Central Television reporting that at least two people have died and another two are have received critical injuries as a result of the blast.

Footage of the scene broadcast by the People's Daily shows a huge cloud of smoke dwarfing nearby tower blocks. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Multiple casualties were reported by local police, who said paramedics are treating people for serious injuries.

Several buildings collapsed in a nearby residential area that had already been cleared of people, according to Zhejiang Daily. Police told Reuters the area had been marked for demolition.

Comment: According to Yahoo News the blast occurred in a septic tank:
Public security officials "have confirmed that the blast's epicentre is a septic tank in an empty field," the local government said in a statement late Sunday.

Methane and hydrogen sulphide -- both highly flammable gases -- can build up in septic tanks.

Officials have ruled out the possibility of a gas explosion or of the blast being intentionally set off by someone.

A new report has revealed that the majority of children who are referred for specialist mental healthcare in England are being denied the treatment they need.

Data from nearly half of the organizations within England's National Health Service (NHS) has shown that around 60 percent of under-18s who are referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) by their doctor are not receiving any treatment.

Meanwhile, the number of young people admitted to Accident and Emergency departments for self-harm increased for the seventh year running.

The vast majority of self-harm admissions were girls, accounting for 77 percent of cases over the period from 2010 to 2016. However, there has also been an increase among boys.
