Azerbaijan obliterates church and entire Christian village in Nagorno-Karabakh BY ROBERT SPENCER
This kind of thing has happened all over what is known as the Islamic world.
APR 27, 2024 1:00 PM – “Church, Entire Village ‘Erased’ In Azerbaijan’s Recaptured Nagorno-Karabakh,” by Amos Chapple, RFE/RL, April 24, 2024:
A picture of a prayer session inside the St. John the Baptist Church in Nagorno-Karabakh was posted to Twitter by Azerbaijani parliament member Jala Ahmadova in July 2021 to demonstrate what she called an “atmosphere of ethnic and religious tolerance,” after Azerbaijan recaptured Susa, a town known in Armenian as Shushi.
Today that church, built by Armenians in the 19th century, no longer exists.
Images released recently by the monitoring group Caucasus Heritage Watch indicate that the Susa/Shushi church, which was wrapped in scaffolding through much of its time under Azerbaijani control, was demolished in the winter of 2023-24.
Baku retook control of Susa/Shushi from ethnic Armenian forces in November 2020 after launching a war to retake territory internationally recognized as Azerbaijani land.
Two kilometers south of the erased church, satellite images released in April reveal that an entire village appears to have been razed to the ground. Today a large mosque is under construction in the broken soil where a settlement once stood, which was known in Armenian as Karintak and as Dasalti in Azeri.
International Criminal Court officials: US green-lighted arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu BY ROBERT SPENCER
International Criminal Court officials: US green-lighted arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu
APR 27, 2024 5:00 PM – “The fear of arrest warrants for Israeli officials: ‘It would not have been possible without a “green light” from the US,’” translated from “החשש מצווי מעצר לבכירים ישראלים: “לא היה מתאפשר בלי ‘אור ירוק’ מארה”ב” by Amit Segal, Mako, April 24, 2024:
Very senior officials associated with the International Criminal Court in The Hague have spoken about Israel’s fear of arrest warrants for senior officials in the context of the war in Gaza. The officials told N12 that the intention to issue such orders would not have been possible without American consent.
According to them, the chief prosecutor in The Hague, Karim Khan, was elected to his position three years ago with American assistance. After being elected, Khan closed two cases that greatly troubled the Americans: one related to undeclared detention cells related to Afghanistan in Europe, and the other also related to war crimes committed in Afghanistan.
Regarding the intention to issue arrest warrants for senior Israelis, the sources at The Hague said that it is impossible that the chief prosecutor would have decided on such a dramatic step, in a war that is still ongoing, with very little evidence, if he had not at least had a “green light” from the Americans. If this is true, this is another and unprecedented low in relations between Israel and the US, at a very sensitive time, on the eve of the ground entry to Rafah.
Reports that have recently arrived in Jerusalem indicate that the chance of issuing arrest warrants has increased dramatically, possibly as soon as next month. Last week, the Prime Minister’s Office held an urgent discussion on the issue, in which serious concerns were raised about allowing the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli security and political leaders, including against Netanyahu himself.
Terrorists Launch Attacks on Gaza Pier that the Biden Regime is Building (For Terrorists) By Pamela Geller
April 26, 2024 – Biden is building the pier for terrorists. Terrorists launch attacks on Americans building the pier. No pushback. No media coverage.
“The pier is not temporary or about delivering aid, it’s about giving the terrorists a permanent gateway to the world.”
Daniel Greenfield writes:
Five Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas and President Biden has sent no troops to help them, but in his State of the Union address he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.
The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as two months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone, under threat of attack, to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza.
[…]
The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.
TOI: Members of a terror group in the Gaza Strip launched mortars at an under-construction pier for a US-led project to bring aid into the Palestinian enclave yesterday, the military says. The mortar attack occurred as United Nations officials were touring the site with Israeli troops on the coast of central Gaza, the IDF says in response to a query on the incident.
The IDF says the UN officials were rushed to a shelter by troops amid the attack. UN officials also confirmed the mortar attack to the Associated Press, saying there were no injuries.
“The terrorist organizations continue to systematically harm humanitarian efforts while risking the lives of UN workers, while Israel allows the supply of aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip,” the IDF adds.
Terrorists Launch Attacks on Americans Building Biden’s Gaza Pier
By: Katie Pavlich | April 25, 2024 7:45 AM
Terrorists operating in the Gaza Strip launched a series of attacks on Americans building President Joe Biden’s “humanitarian pier” this week.
“Gazan terrorists fired mortar shells on Wednesday towards the construction work on the humanitarian pier being built off the coast of Gaza,” i24 News reports. “i24NEWS has learned that several pieces of American engineering equipment were damaged in the attack. In addition, one person was slightly injured while running to a protected area.”
[Ed.: The pier will be used to transfer the poor, innocent Gaza civilians to the US, where they will be safe...]
Biden Regime Opening Overseas Immigration Offices To Bring In Muslim Migrants From Jihad Regions As Pro-Terror Riots Roil America By Pamela Geller
April 27, 2024 – Trump banned jihad immigration and the country was safer for it. This is diabolical.
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package
Biden Admin Expands Paths to Muslim Refugees with USCIS Announcement
Biden Administration To Open Two New Overseas Immigration Offices To Process Middle East Refugees
‘Not only did the “foreign aid” bill that passed yesterday do nothing about the mass migration invasion of America, it provided over $3.5 billion to help bring migrants from the Middle East to America,’ Senator Rubio says in a tweet.
By: NY Sun, April 24, 2024:
On the same day the Senate passed a foreign aid bill that infuriated some GOP lawmakers because it does nothing to secure America’s southern border, the Biden Administration announced that it will soon open two new immigration field offices at Doha, Qatar and Ankara, Turkey aimed at processing refugees from the Middle East.
“Opening these field offices establishes a [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] presence and expertise in critical locations in the Middle East and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to facilitate safe, lawful, and orderly migration and family reunification,” the director of the USCIS, Ur M. Jaddou, said in a statement.
The offices, set to open in early May, will help process refugees from the Middle East and North Africa. The administration has set a ceiling for refugee admissions in 2024 at 125,000 refugees.
The announcement, the day before President Biden signed into law a bill aimed at providing foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, enraged Republican lawmakers who voted against the measure because it did not make any provisions for border security. Among those complaining about the new offices is Senator Rubio.
“Not only did the “foreign aid” bill that passed yesterday do nothing about the mass migration invasion of America, it provided over $3.5 billion to help bring migrants from the Middle East to America,” Mr. Rubio said in a tweet.

Anti-Israel Mob Shows Up at White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Harasses Attendees (VIDEOS) By Mike Lachance
Apr. 27, 2024 11:00 pm – Earlier this week, the anti-Israel mob vowed to ‘shut down’ the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which is happening tonight. We reported on their plans.
Well, the mob kept their word. They showed up and they are making a total nuisance of themselves as usual.
Of course, the people they’re harassing are beltway journalists, so this is a bit entertaining.
ABC News reports:
Chants of ‘shame on you’ greet guests at White House correspondents’ dinner shadowed by war in Gaza
An election-year roast of President Joe Biden before journalists, celebrities and politicians at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner Saturday butted up against growing public discord over the Israel-Hamas war, with protests outside the event condemning both Biden’s handling of the conflict and the Western news’ media coverage of it.
In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents’ Association gala to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump.
With hundreds of protesters rallying against the war in Gaza outside the event and concerns over the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the perils for journalists covering the conflict, the war hung over this year’s event.
“Shame on you!” protesters draped in the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh cloth shouted, running after men in tuxedos and suits and women in long dresses who were holding clutch purses as guests hurried inside for the dinner.

FBI Pledge Weekend: Patriot Front Group Marches in Downtown Charleston, West Virginia – Elon Musk Weighs In By Jim Hoft
Apr. 27, 2024 8:40 pm – It must be another FBI freshman pledge weekend.
The Patriot Front “white supremacist” group went marching in Charleston, West Virginia this weekend.
They found a drummer for this weekend’s march and they were chanting something but it was hard to understand.
These deep state a$$holes aren’t fooling anyone.
This sounds about right: You know they’re feds because the mainstream media has absolutely no interest in outing them.
AND THERE IT IS: Campus Protester Says “We Must Have a Revolution so We Can Have a Socialist Reconstruction of the USA” (VIDEO) By Mike Lachance
Apr. 27, 2024 10:20 pm – In case you were wondering what all these campus protests are really all about, this should answer any remaining questions.
During an anti-Israel campus protest at George Washington University this weekend, a speaker said ‘We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America.’
That’s the quiet part out loud right there. Do you think this is what the founders of George Washington University had in mind for their school?
Funny how the media is overlooking that. These are just protests, we’re told.
Demonstrations at GW University campus over Israel-Hamas war enter 3rd day
Pro-Palestinian student protests on and in front of George Washington University’s University Yard entered their third day on Saturday with no sign of slowing down.
While many protesters have abandoned the encampment on the yard, WTOP’s Linh Bui saw 15 tents in the new H Street encampment and over 50 protesters waking up on the street Saturday morning.
The Hatchet, the GW University student newspaper, reported that the number of demonstrators outside the yard swelled to somewhere between 200 and 250 around 11 p.m. Friday night on H Street, but dwindled to around 100 in the early morning hours on Saturday.
Most protesters, mix of students and nonstudents, moved onto the street and surrounding area Friday afternoon — taking their bags and tents with them — after university workers put up metal fencing around University Yard. The student news source reported that there were far less demonstrators in the original encampment as of Saturday morning.
This is Occupy Wall Street all over again, they’re just using the conflict in the Middle East as a cover cause.
Oops: Emory University Professor Admits to Hitting Police Officer Before She Was Arrested (Videos) By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 27, 2024 9:15 pm – Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin went viral this week with video of her arrest as police cleared an illegal campus ‘occupy’ protest by Hamas supporters Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. The shocking video of the female professor being forcibly taken to the ground by a police officer who needed a second officer to control the resisting Fohlin and then her hitting her head on the sidewalk was reposted and viewed millions of times worldwide.
Fohlin was one of two professors arrested at the protest Thursday. The other was Noëlle McAfee, the chair of Emory’s philosophy department.
Fohlin is married to Emory’s Dean of Admission, John F. Latting (He/Him/His).
Fohlin appeared in court on Friday where she was freed on $50 bond. Fohlin’s attorney Gregory Clement issued a statement Friday after her release stating she was not a protester and denying the charges against her, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (scroll down) (excerpt):
All 23 people arrested at Thursday’s protest at Emory have been released from the Dekalb County Jail, records show.
Defendants were released on bond by 6:25 p.m., with all of them except two being released on signature bonds, which are cashless bonds usually used for minor or nonviolent offenses. Bonds were granted to the defendants Friday in magistrate court.
Among the first to be released Friday afternoon was Emory economics professor Caroline Fohlin, who is a tenured professor at the university. Fohlin was granted a $50 bond on a charge of simple battery against a police officer and disorderly conduct. Her arrest was caught on camera and went viral on social media.
“Caroline Fohlin was not a protester at Emory on April 25,” her attorney Gregory Clement said. “She emerged from her office, concerned only about the treatment of students on the quad. She looks forward to vigorously defending the accusations against her in court.”
Video clip of Fohlin admitting to hitting a police officer, “I impulsively hit him on the head very lightly to get his attention and they grabbed me and threw me to the ground and arrested me.”
Video clip of the arrest. Fohlin repeatedly cries out, “I am a professor!” Posted with video of McAfee being detained:
Riot Police Clear Out Hamas Agitators at Indiana University (VIDEOS) By David Greyson
Apr. 27, 2024 9:00 pm – Hamas agitators have infested Universities across America disrupting education and endangering people’s lives.
Over 33 people were arrested on Thursday at Indiana University for staging pro-Hamas “protests” at Dunn Meadow.
The agitators had tents and other structures, which according to the University, was a violation of the school’s policy.
According to the University provost, Dunn Meadow is a place where “expression on all subjects” is permitted
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — At least 33 people were arrested during a Thursday rally at Indiana University’s Dunn Meadow in support of Palestine, law enforcement agencies tell News 8.
The people were arrested for having structures, including tents, at their protest. IU said this violates a university policy and directed News 8 to this link.
Dunn Meadow is designated as a gathering spot for “expression on all subjects,” according to a policy listed under the Office of the Provost.
“The protest started Thursday morning in Dunn Meadow, a park which happens to be across the street from Chabad House of Bloomington, a resource for Jewish people on the campus,” WISHTV 8 reported.
Although the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects free speech, a gathering that is not peaceful does not fall under its confines.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” First Amendment to the US Constitution.

Numerous riots and chaos have been spreading to many college campuses. Cal Poly Humboldt shut down its campus on Friday after pro-Hamas agitators took over the college president’s office.
Columbia University, with its Hamas agitators, has become so dangerous that in-person classes were canceled this past Monday. The campus has become very unsafe for Jewish students.
This is the current climate of college education. Chaos and calls for violence have replaced learning and critical thinking.
SHOCK VIDEO: Cal Poly Humboldt Shuts Down After Pro-Hamas Activists Occupied the President’s Office By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 27, 2024 4:00 pm – Cal Poly Humboldt, located on the coast in Arcata, about 280 miles north of San Francisco, shut down its campus on Friday after pro-Hamas/Communist activists took over President Tom Jackson’s office and set up an ‘occupy zone.’ One of the buildings was renamed “Intifada Hall” by the terrorist supporters. The school will be closed through May 10 with classes held online. Humboldt, which is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), reports it has 5,858 undergraduate students with fulltime tuition and fees for the year costing $7,864.
The school has acknowledged outside actors are in involved, saying, in a statement Wednesday (scroll down to April 24 at link), “There are unidentified non-students with unknown intentions, in Siemens Hall. This creates an unpredictable environment. In addition, all entrances to the building are barricaded, creating a fire hazard. Adding to health and safety concerns, many toilets are no longer working.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday about 100 tents are spread around the occupied campus, “UPDATE: About 100 tents covered the lawns adjoining Siemens Hall and extended across the Cal Poly Humboldt campus Saturday as Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protest in defiance of the university’s orders to leave Friday evening.”
Videos posted online show the takeover of the campus by pro-Hamas activists using Antifa tactics like using ‘riot shields’ to defend against police actions. Earlier in the week there were violent clashes with police on campus. (Police withdrew after battling the activists for several minutes.)
Video posted Friday of riot shields being put together at the ‘occupied’ zone’.
Locals Help Police Trash Tents and Anti-Israel Flags at Arizona State University (VIDEO) By David Greyson
Apr. 27, 2024 6:30 pm – Some college campuses that have reached their limit with Hamas agitators are taking action to remove tents and anti-Israel flags. Among the allies to the police at ASU was a group of local guys helping with the clean up.
As these guys were helping the police, you could hear the agitators complaining and harassing them.
“We’ve got the white frat boys throwing away protester’s belongings and we’ve got the pigs in brown doing nothing,” an anti-Israel agitator shouted.
Earlier in the day, the police at the ASU campus were tearing down tents that were involved with the unruly Hamas agitators. They were met with anti-Israel chants with some words difficult to understand since they were shouting.
TEMPE, AZ — Nearly 70 people were arrested early Saturday morning amid a pro-Palestinian protest at Arizona State University that started Friday over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
ASU confirmed the arrests Saturday morning, saying the group set up an unauthorized encampment in violation of university policy.
“Rogue cops get out of the way we know you’re Israel’s (incoherent word),” agitators shouted.
ASU also turned on the sprinklers in the field to try and deter the agitators. They responded by putting items or bags over them to prevent them from getting sprayed.
One student was hitting a plastic container with a stick while they were chanting. They made reference to liberation, but they were difficult to understand since they were shouting. A good portion of them were wearing masks either to avoid being seen or an obsession with Covid virtue signaling.
Indiana University changed its policy a day before a protest. Then 33 people were arrested. Brian Rosenzweig | The Herald-Times
April 27, 2024 – The day before Indiana University students planned to set up a pro-Palestine solidarity encampment on Dunn Meadow, a public field that’s long been a site of gathering and protest in Bloomington, IU officials quietly changed its on-campus events policy to require tents and other “structures” to receive prior approval from the university.
The next day, 33 protesters at the encampment were arrested, shoved with riot shields and handcuffed with zip ties by Indiana State Police troopers who told them their use of camping tents and canopies on Dunn Meadow was unlawful.
Protesters say they were unaware of the policy change and many believe they were targeted by IU.
“The fact that they did it late at night, the night before they knew that this pro-Palestine event was scheduled to take place tells us that this was not about security,” said David McDonald, chair of the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and one of those arrested. “It was about stifling speech on this particular issue.”
More on the Dunn Meadow protest: State police detain pro-Palestine protesters, tear down encampment at Indiana University
The change was approved by an ad-hoc committee of four, consisting of the IU chief of police, the vice provost for student life, the associate vice president of events and conferences and the vice president for undergraduate education. No faculty or students were involved in the committee.
On Thursday, hundreds of protesters refused to take down their encampment after IU Police Department and Indiana State Police officers told them the event was a violation of school policy. IUPD distributed pamphlets saying tents needed prior registration, but protesters disputed the claim, citing the Bloomington campus’ policy on use of assembly grounds under an existing campus policy that’s been in place since 1969,
As faculty and students attempted to explain the campus policy to troopers, state police Capt. Rob Priest replied, “I’m not arguing,” and “I’m just following orders.”
“If you resist us and stay, you’re going to be arrested,” Priest said. Less than three hours later, state police officers, many wearing full military gear and wielding riot-control equipment including rifles and riot shields, advanced on protesters and cuffed and arrested 33 protesters, three of whom were faculty members.
Banned from all IU-owned properties
All 33, the majority of them students, received the same penalty: a one-year ban from all IU-owned properties.
For freshman Elena Thomas, that meant she couldn’t return to her dormitory after she was released from Monroe County Jail around 9 p.m. Thursday and had to stay the night at a friend’s off-campus house. For IU senior Cameron Pierce it means he can’t attend departmental graduation ceremonies or the commencement ceremony next week. For McDonald, it means he can’t do his job.

The IU decision to block and prevent this so-called ‘protest’, demonstrated that a few people still have their heads screwed on straight. Just look at what happened at the other universities so far! It’s enough to put them out of business! However, Indiana university, the City Hall of Bloomington Indiana, and the main newspaper in Bloomington (the Bloomington Herald Times) who published this article, are 99% to 100% radical leftists, and Bloomington is a mini-Berkley California. They provide well attended trans shows for the kids every week at the public library – for years now! Their Headstart schools teachers with purple hair teach the little boys to wear dresses and lipstick! The town is a sanctuary city for any and every kind of nut-job.
The ‘protesters’ built their political perspective on each and every (only) source of information available to them: their professors, their community, all of their news sources, and plenty of paycheck $$$ from Qatar and George Soros (now THERE is a ‘dirty Jew’!) These worldwide ‘protests’ are bought and paid for, and the participants are misinformed, communist, Jew hating, air-heads, as shown in this VIDEO. They don’t really know what why they are there protesting! What they think it is, is simply false.
Jesus’s last words were “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do”. I really don’t think that ignorance quite gets them off so easy! Not when you go up against Israel.]
