Israeli Attacked in Thailand by German Tourist, Report Says
Need more info on this this. If the Israeli backpacker was alone, it's extremely unlikely he would be provoking four people of any kind. The Germans? Perhaps Muslim immigrant type of Germans? How was the Israeli identified? Well if he was alone not from speaking unless on a phone. Hebrew or an Israeli accent is very easy to place. Appearance? Believe it or not, even without wearing flags and such, Israelis are often easy to identify that way as well in a different way than visible Jews in general. If the Germans were middle eastern origin, that much easier for them. -

Rabbi's Murder Sparks Terror Alert for Israelis in Thailand
Israel Warns Citizens of Terror Threat in Southeast Asia, Focus on Thailand Picture courtesy: Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Israel's National Security Council (NSC) has issued a stark warning to its citizens, highlighting a potential terror threat looming over Southeast Asia, with special attention to Thailand. This warning is linked to the tragic murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in Dubai on November 21, sparking heightened security concerns. In a swift response, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has detained three suspects believed to be involved in Rabbi Kogan's killing. Authorities discovered his body on November 24, a few days after he was reported missing. The investigation is ongoing, as confirmed by the UAE Ministry of Interior, although specific details about the suspects remain undisclosed. Israel has labelled Rabbi Kogan's murder as a "repugnant act of antisemitic terrorism." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to pursue those responsible and assured that no assailant will evade justice. During a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu stressed, "The State of Israel will use all means to deal with these murderers and those who dispatched them to the fullest extent of the law.” In light of these developments, Israel has reinforced its advisory against non-essential travel to the UAE. Citizens are urged to avoid places associated with Israeli or Jewish communities, be discreet about their travel plans on social media, and limit movements. This follows the heightened alert level set during the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, amid concerns over attacks by Iranian or Iran-backed operatives. The White House also condemned the killing, describing it as not only an assault on Rabbi Kogan but also on the UAE's stance against violent extremism. US National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett commended the UAE for their prompt action in apprehending suspects, emphasising the importance of holding them accountable. Netanyahu has acknowledged the UAE's cooperation in the investigation and expressed intent to solidify peace relations amid adversities faced by both nations. “We will strengthen the ties between us in the face of attempts by the axis of evil to harm the relationship of peace between us,” he stated. Rabbi Zvi Kogan, aged 28, resided in the UAE serving as an emissary for Chabad-Lubavitch. He was dedicated to fostering Jewish life in the Emirates, including enhancing the availability of kosher food. His wife, Rivky, joined him as they embarked on this mission following their marriage in 2022. Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the attack, underscoring that such inhuman acts won’t deter the growth of Jewish communities worldwide, including in the UAE. "This vile antisemitic attack is a reminder of the inhumanity of the enemies of the Jewish people,” Herzog stated, insisting it only strengthens their resolve to continue expanding these vibrant communities, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-12-02 -

Mark Zuckerberg Dines with Donald Trump Amid Signs of a Repaired Relationship
As I see it people looked at what was on offer and chose the one that ( despite the Dem's propaganda ) made many American's lives better the first time he was POTUS, compared to one that was in lock step with Biden, who did not make many American's lives better. When it comes to it, people will vote on what they think will benefit them, not on any irrelevancies. I loathed Harris for many reasons, but If I were a US voter and thought she had policies to benefit myself I'd have held my nose and voted for her. Trump may be as bad as so many accuse him of being, but it's irrelevant what their personality is when it comes to our personal benefit. -

Trump Threatens Punitive Tariffs Against BRICS Over De-Dollarization Plans
In a bold statement on Truth Social, President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to impose a 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they pursue plans to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in global trade. Trump’s remarks reflect a staunch defense of the dollar’s dominance in international markets and a warning to nations considering alternatives. “The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump declared. He emphasized that the U.S. would demand a clear commitment from BRICS members to refrain from creating or supporting any currency intended to replace the U.S. dollar. “They will face 100% tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy,” Trump wrote, adding, “They can go find another ‘sucker!’” The BRICS alliance—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—was formed to enhance economic cooperation among major non-Western economies. Since its first official summit in 2009, the group has focused on challenging the dominance of Western financial systems. At the 2023 summit, the alliance expanded, adding Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The issue of "de-dollarization," a key topic at the recent summit, seeks to reduce the U.S. dollar’s influence in international trade. While the idea has gained traction, experts remain skeptical about its feasibility. Analysts cite significant challenges within BRICS, including infighting among members and stark differences in their economic policies and financial systems. Trump dismissed the possibility of the BRICS countries succeeding in replacing the dollar in international trade, warning any nation attempting such a move to "wave goodbye to America." His remarks underscore the U.S.’s strategic interest in maintaining the dollar’s central role in global financial systems, a position that has provided Washington with significant economic and geopolitical leverage for decades. Representatives for the BRICS countries have not responded to Trump’s comments, but the group’s plans to explore alternatives to the dollar continue to generate debate. Despite internal challenges, the expanding coalition signals a growing push among non-Western nations to redefine global trade dynamics, a development that the incoming U.S. administration appears determined to counter. Trump’s threat to impose sweeping tariffs is a clear message that his administration views any move to undermine the dollar as a direct challenge to American economic dominance. As the world watches the unfolding dynamics between the U.S. and BRICS, the stakes for international trade and diplomacy continue to rise. Based on a report by NBC News 2024-12-02
