Hacker group Anonymous has reportedly taken down the website of the Israeli secret service Mossad in protest of Israel’s military incursion in Gaza. The ‘hacktivists’ have already targeted a number of organizations in their mission to stop the “genocide.”
Mossad’s website went offline at around 00:40 GMT and is still down at the time of writing. The Israeli government has yet to make any comment on the supposed hack attack.
UFA, July 28. /ITAR-TASS/. The Central Spiritual Board of Muslims of Russia is outraged by shameless lies and double standards of politicians about the developments in Ukraine, the head of the board, the country's Supreme Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin said in a sermon on Monday in connection with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. "We feel pain and sufferings of those who are in need and trouble," he said. "Sufferings, pain and losses of dear ones, violence and cruel murders of civilians in the southeast of Ukraine and on the holy land of Palestine fill with pain and anger hearts of millions of Russians, all the true believers of the one Lord of people worldwide."
Mufti said the tragedy of the Malaysian airliner in Ukraine shocked not only relatives and friends of the victims, but also all Russian citizens. "At the same time, we are deeply outraged by the shameless lie and double standards of those who try to use any grounds to set nations and states against each other, those who speak about fight against terrorism, but makes it (terrorism) a state policy," he said, adding Russians could not indifferently watch the outrage and attempts to dictate.
The Central Spiritual Board of Muslims supports the Russian president's steps to ensure the state's independence and unity, reliable protection of its territory and timely neutralization of internal and external threats. "First of all, these are strengthening of inter-religious peace and accord, brining up of the youth in the spirit of patriotism and responsibility for the motherland's fate and effective contribution to the prevention of extremism and radicalism," the mufti said. Muslims of Russia also express their solidarity with much-suffering people of Palestine and support Russian efforts to stop the Israeli military aggression, resume peace talks and establish peace on the holy land, the Russian Muslim leader added.
Thousands of Muslims gathered in the Russian capital's mosques on Monday morning for praying, marking the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. The Head of Russia's Council of Muftis, Ravil Gainutdin, participated in the early praying in the city's main mosque. He congratulated the faithful with one of Muslims' main holidays.
The press service of the Council of Muftis said congratulations were received from Russian regions, CIS countries, the Islamic world, ministries and departments and international religious and public organizations.
More than 230,000 Muslims were expected to come to mosques in the Russian capital later on Monday. Moscow authorities prepared additional grounds for mass events. People will gather for prayers in six mosques and on special grounds in park and near cultural centers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated Russian Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, the Kremlin press service said. One of Muslims' main and most important holidays that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, turns the faithful to Islam spiritual and moral sources. From ancient times, it is marked with good deeds and care for the needy. Russia's Muslim community actively participates in the country's life, makes a great contribution to inter-religious dialogue, fruitfully cooperates with state and public organizations in the causes of charity, education and bringing up of young generations and contributes to saving of the country's rich cultural and spiritual heritage, the president said in the congratulation.
Mr Amazayev is a senior member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Islamic political organisation which is legal in Ukraine. However, among the first pronouncements made by the new separatist Prime Minister of Crimea and the security chief he has appointed is that it is a “ dangerous terrorist organisation” which will have to be dealt with. Hizb ut-Tahrir has been blamed in many countries for promoting radicalism; but violent militancy caused by it is hard to find in Ukraine. And the fear of becoming sectarian targets is not just confined to activists among the Tatars: many in the community are staying away from city centres where Russian-speaking vigilantes hold sway, and some are leaving for other parts of the country.

Mr Amazayev says he is confident that the Tatars of Crimea will not let him and others from his group be picked off by the new head of security, Petr Zima, who was promoted from his previous post in Sevastopol, the home of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. “Zima built up a reputation in Sevastopol for carrying out raids, accusing people of being involved in extremism. But, if he starts doing that now, he will make a big mistake. The people in the [Tatar] establishment, the Mufti and the Mejlis [representative council] criticised us in the past, but now we are all facing the common enemy. And, if they do start persecuting us, we know how to survive, we have done it in Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia.” Nevertheless, Mr Amazayev has started to be very cautious, not straying outside his home town, Bakhchisarai, a historic place of mosques where Muslims form a sizeable portion of the population. “I don’t think it will be safe for me to travel, not at this time,” he said. The larger Tatar community is in friction with the Russian nationalist population over the issue of secession from Ukraine.
The new Crimean administration of Sergei Aksenov is organising a referendum on the issue, clearing the way to rule by Moscow – anathema to the Tatars who were deported from here, en masse, to Siberia and the central Asian steppes by Stalin at the end of the Second World War.
Today the head of the Russian republic of Tatarstan arrived in Crimea. Many, however, view Rustam Minnikhanov as an emissary of the Kremlin sent to persuade the Mejlis to change its policy of refusing to recognise the new separatist Crimean administration. “ He is not someone we see as our protector,” said one of its officials. The sense of being under threat has led to the formation of self-defence groups in Tatar neighbourhoods: the growing prevalence of fear in a people who have lived, on the whole, amicably with those of Russian and Ukrainian extraction since they returned from exile in the 1990s.
The current tensions emerged quickly. A demonstration against secession drew 10,000 from Ukraine’s largest Muslim community to the streets of the Crimean capital, Simferopol, last week. There were chants of “Allah hu Akhbar” from a small band of Tatars which some among an opposing protest by Russian speakers complained they found intimidating.
There were no serious acts of violence by either side or the police; but two people were reported to have died in the crush as the crowd converged outside the state parliament.

If you only knew about the mindset, character, questionable activities and black deeds of this masquaderor, hypocrite, thug of a so called Muslim educationist, a white collar beggar.
It is important to investigate the motivation of Arab News correspontent Nasir Jawed and his links with this regional fascist international beggar who has been masquadering as an Islamist since 1978 to qualify to receive islamic charity from the Saudi charitable institutions and moronic sheikhs.
This international greed and miserly beggar has launched a number of psuedo welfare trusts and societies and no wonder that he maintains covert links with underworld and unscurplous regional fascist politicians and associations with the dual purpose of securing himself and satisfying his uncontrollable fascist drives.
BAGHDAD: The United Nations accused Islamic State fighters in Iraq of executing religious and other leaders as well as teachers and health workers, forcibly recruiting children and raping women among acts that amounted to war crimes.
A UN report focused on a range of violations committed against civilians, particularly by the Islamic State, though it also said Iraqi forces and allied fighters had not taken precautions to protect civilians from violence. “(This)...may also amount to war crimes,” the report found.
At least 5,576 Iraqi civilians have been killed this year in violence, the UN said in the most detailed account yet of the impact of months of unrest culminating in advances by militants led by the Al-Qaeda offshot Islamic State, formerly known as ISIL, across the north.
“ISIL and associated armed groups have also continued to... perpetrate targeted assassinations (community, political, and religious leaders, government employees, education professionals, health workers, etc.), sexual assault, rape and other forms of sexual violence against women and girls, forced recruitment of children, kidnappings, executions, robberies.”
The report also accused them of wanton destruction and plundering of places of worship and of cultural or historical significance. “Credible information on recruitment and use of children as soldiers was also received,” the report noted. “Every day we receive accounts of a terrible litany of human rights violations being committed in Iraq against ordinary Iraqi children, women and men, who have been deprived of their security, their livelihoods, their homes, education, health care and other basic services,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said.
The report also details violations committed by government forces and affiliated groups, citing “summary executions/extrajudicial killings of prisoners and detainees,” which it said may constitute a war crime.
Contrived behind closed doors in July 2001, the Dagan Plan (named after Mossad chief Meir Dagan) was slated by its IDF and Mossad architects to be “launched immediately following the next high-casualty suicide bombing, would last about a month and is expected to result in the death of hundreds of Israelis and thousands of Palestinians.” (See Ellis Shuman,“Operation Justified Vengeance”: a Secret Plan to Destroy the Palestinian Authority, Intelligence Ploy behind the “Suicide bombings”, Global Research, February 01, 200)
“Mossad chief Tamir Pardo had “outlined a scenario that was spookily [sic]similar to the kidnapping of three teens missing in the West Bank” (Haaretz, July 13, 2014, emphasis added)
A new Palestinian jihadist group pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (formerly known as ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the killing of three Israeli teenagers last month in the West Bank, … as well as other recent deadly attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians…..The actions were carried out in honor of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “caliph” of the Islamic State, the reincarnation of the Islamic State in Syria and the Levant (ISIL)declared last month, the statement said.”(Times of Israel, July 3, 2014)
“According to the Israeli Channel 1 television, ‘security sources’ informed of a new missile system named ‘Mitar’, established in Golan for giving backup coverage to anti-Syria militant groups.The system includes middle-range and long-range missiles, according to the report.” (Al Alam May 3, 2014 emphasis added)
The good, the prime minister said, is Israel, which “saves lives from the daily slaughter taking place in Syria. This is the true face of Israel.”The evil, he continued, is Iran, which is arming those carrying out the slaughter. (Jerusalem Post, February 19, 2014)

The former employee at US National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, has revealed that the British and American intelligence and the Mossad worked together to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).Snowden said intelligence services of three countries created a terrorist organisation that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called “the hornet’s nest”.NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet’s nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.According to documents released by Snowden, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state “is to create an enemy near its borders”.
Ety Levy, a single mother of four who lives in Ashkelon, southern Israel, describes life in fear under rocket attacks I've lived in Ashkelon for six years now. I live with my four children in a state-subsidized building.
The bomb shelter in our building is locked because of a disagreement between some tenants. We asked the municipality to open it and contacted the city hotline about it, but no one did a thing. It was the same in Operation Pillar of Defense [in 2012]. When I visited my mother, who lives in south Ashkelon, we broke the lock on their building's shelter and found it in terrible condition. There was no way you could stay inside. There were mice everywhere and the sink was broken. We heard that some neighbors in the area had the same problem. They went to the mayor and he made sure their shelter was cleaned and fixed. No one did that for my mother's building, and the shelter can't be used. Public shelters in the city have air-conditioning, decent furniture and activities for children. That's great for whoever can make it there, but we live too far away and have to stay home. Now, during the operation, I stay at home with my four kids, day and night. When the siren goes off, we leave our apartment and gather in the staircase. We hear and see rockets being diverted [by Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system] or hitting targets very close to us. Every explosion makes the whole building shake. The children are afraid to sleep in their rooms and insist on staying in the living room with me all night. Even if they do manage to fall asleep, they take turns staying awake "on guard". My eldest daughter , who is eleven, hasn't slept for two nights running. I can't leave them alone like that, so I only pop out on short errands, usually to the nearest grocery store. My daughter was supposed to go to summer camp but it was cancelled because of the security situation.
I hope this will be over soon and we can go back to our daily lives. I mean really go back to normal, not just a ceasefire, because even with a ceasefire, there are still Qassam rockets. I hope we'll still get to have fun with the children before their school holiday ends. I want us to have a bit of quiet time together. Ety Levy, 30, is disabled and a single mother of four living in Ashkelon. She gave her testimony to Yuval Drier Shilo by phone on 15 July 2014.
