Nasrallah Assassinated by Genies

Iranian cleric: 'Jews have had access to genies since Davidic times'

Cleric claims in televised interview that Israel was able to eliminate Hassan Nasrallah by employing the aid of supernatural creatures and advanced technologies the Jews have had for 3,000 years.

As Israel continues to demonstrate impressive intelligence capabilities by eliminating much of the leadership of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, some of its enemies are reportedly attributing supernatural powers to the Jewish State.

Iranian opposition news site Iran International published a recording from a televised interview given by an Iranian cleric close to the Ayatollah's regime accusing the Jewish people of trapping and employing djinn, or genies, for three thousand years, as well as using science fiction technology.

Iranian Shia seminary teacher Mostafa Karami claimed, "Considering the Zionists' history of subjugating genies, they carry out many of their missions through this means, and demons are their secret army."

"They [the Jews] have had access to genies and cosmic science since the time of David and Solomon," he added. "Historically, they have always used genies, their documents and traditions proved that. They have used genies and demons for warfare and intelligence operations throughout history."

Karami detailed his magical conspiracy theory in response to the elimination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah last week.

There have been varying reports in the media as to how Nasrallah was located prior to his elimination in Beirut. According to some Arabic media reports, he shook the hand of someone who placed a substance on his hand that allowed Israel to track him. Meanwhile, Western media has attributed the tracking of the Hezbollah leader's location to more mundane old-fashioned intelligence work.

Existence of another figure from the Bible may have just been proven - after discovery of 'genie' stone

An ancient stone seal has been discovered in Jerusalem that may be linked to a warrior mentioned in the Bible.

The black dime-sized relic was likely worn as an amulet around the neck of a man who held a senior position in the holy city some 2,700 years ago.

This one bears an engraving of a winged 'genie' or 'demon' that has never been seen before in Israel.

Two names are also inscribed on the seal - 'Yehoʼezer' and 'Hoshʼayahu' - which are both mentioned in the bible. 'Yoʼezer,' the abbreviated form of Yehoʼezer, was the name of one of the warriors of King David, the king of Israel at the time.

Archaeologists discovered an ancient stone seal in Jerusalem 

And the name Hoshʼayahu is a parallel form of the name ʼAzariah ben Hoshʼaya,' which is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah. 

'It is not impossible that perhaps it was Yehoʼezer himself who engraved the names on the object,' said research partner Ronny Reich from the University of Haifa in a press release. 

During the first temple period, when this seal was made, Jerusalem was subject to the Assyrian Empire.

The artistic and cultural influence of this ruling power is reflected in the seal, as it bears an engraving of a winged protective figure.

Figures of winged demons are known in the Neo-Assyrian art of the 9th-7th Centuries BCE, according to the press release. 

But the two names inscribed on either side of this figure are written in Hebrew script.

The seal was discovered near the Southern Wall of Temple Mount in the City of David National Park.

The researchers found the seal near the Southern Wall of Temple Mount in the City of David National Park.

They believe that the seal was worn as an amulet by a man named Hoshʼayahu, who held a senior position in the Kingdom of Judah's administration.

They based their conclusion on the presence of a hole drilled through the piece, likely to allow it to be worn on a string, and the high artistic level required to produce the piece. 

'The seal, made of black stone, is one of the most beautiful ever discovered in excavations in ancient Jerusalem,' the researchers said.

The figure depicted on the seal is striding towards the right and raising one arm forward with an open palm, 'perhaps to suggest some object it is holding,' the press release stated. 

The researchers believe that the relic was originally owned by a man named Hoshʼayahu. When he died, his son Yehoʼezer carved their names into the seal.

An inscription in Paleo-Hebrew script is engraved on either side of the figure. It reads, 'LeYehoʼezer ben Hoshʼayahu.'

The name Yehoʼezer appears in the bible in its abbreviated form, Yoʼezer, who was one of King David's fighters.

And in the book of Jeremiah, which describes the time period during which the seal was made, the name Hoshʼayahu appears in a parallel form: Azariah ben Hoshʼaya.

The two parts of the biblical first name are written in reverse order to the seal owners name, the researchers explain. The second name is the same, but it appears in its abbreviated form on the seal.

Therefore, the writing form in these biblical texts fits the name inscribed on the newly discovered seal, offering more evidence that it was made during the first temple period.

'This singular find joins the list of countless archeological discoveries in the City of David - the historic site of Biblical Jerusalem - affirming Jerusalem's Biblical heritage,' Ze'ev Orenstein, director of International Affairs for the City of David Foundation, told Fox News Digital.

'It similarly serves as yet another affirmation of the thousands-of-year-old bond rooting the Jewish people in Jerusalem - not simply as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact.'

When Hosh’ayahu died, his son Yeho’ezer inherited the seal, and he “added his name and his father’s name on either side of the demon,” in an effort to “directly appropriate to himself the beneficial qualities he believed the talisman embodied as a magical item,” 

Genies, or jinns, in the Middle East are serious business. 

Now, right out of the legends, archaeologists in Israel have discovered a rare find –– one of only a few of the world’s rarest existing genie lamps. 

The bronze oil lamp, shaped like a grotesque face that is cut in half, was recently discovered in the City of David National Park.

31 Injured in Rampage by Syrian Knifeman in Essen, Germany

Machete-wielding Syrian sets fire to homes and rams van into shops injuring 30

• A Syrian suspect has been arrested following chaos in Essen, Germany

Terrified residents lowered young children from the roof of buildings in Germany after an attacker with a machete set fire to homes.    

A Syrian man has been arrested following chaos in Essen, with fires tearing through two blocks of flats leaving 30 people hurt - including eight children.

Neighbours tried to reach up with ladders to help people escape, but the ladders weren't long enough to access the upper floors, so brave residents worked together to lower children from the roof. 

Horrifying photos shows a small child - seemingly a little girl - being held by one arm while reaching down to a man on a ladder in a desperate bid to escape the smoke and flames. 

Another man stands on a window ledge to help support the child while terrified people remain trapped at the top of the building.  

Two children who were hurt are in a life-threatening condition after inhaling smoke, according to local media.

They were reportedly thrown from windows to escape the flames, landing on cushions placed on the street.

The knifeman's van rammed through two shops a short time after the fires.

The 41-year-old Syrian man was arrested at the scene.

He had gone out armed with 'knives and fire accelerants' intending to target homes and shops in Essen.

The Bild daily reported that the suspect had threatened passers-by with a machete.

According to German media, the suspect first set fire to a residential building, then another house on a different street.

He then crashed into the window of a vegetable shop before driving to another store, where he exited the van and brandished a machete. 

The suspect threatened people with weapons, but several men managed to push him back with shovels and poles until the police arrived. 

Police said the suspect was a 41-year-old Essen resident with Syrian citizenship.

The rampage comes at a time of heated debate in Germany over migration after a spate of suspected Islamist attacks.

Three people were killed and eight wounded in a knife attack at a street festival in the western city of Solingen in August, carried out by a Syrian asylum seeker and claimed by the Islamic State group.

There was also an Islamist motive in the killing of a police officer in a knife attack on the market square in the city of Mannheim in May.

Germany has responded to the attacks by taking steps to tighten immigration controls and knife laws.

The government has introduced new checks along all of its borders and promised to speed up deportations of migrants who have no right to stay in Germany.

Germany took in more than a million asylum seekers in 2015-2016 at the height of Europe's migrant crisis - a deeply divisive influx that has fueled the popularity of the conservative political party  AfD.

Rashida Tlaib can't take a joke

The cartoon that’s bothering Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, drawn by Henry Payne in National Review, portrayed her as the owner of an exploding pager similar to those used by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. She didn't laugh. 

Rashida Tlaib, meet Samuel Pennypacker.

The Michigan congresswoman is furious about an editorial cartoon poking fun at her record on Arab terrorism--She says it’s “racist.” Pennypacker, the governor of Pennsylvania in the early 1900s, had a solution to the problem of nettlesome cartoons: Ban ‘em!

Irritated by a series of caricatures in the Philadelphia North American in 1912 that portrayed him as a parrot, Governor Pennypacker promoted legislation in 1903 that outlawed the depiction of a person as “a beast, bird, fish, insect, or other inhuman animal.”

Cartoonists responded by depicting the governor in non-animal forms, including trees, turnips, and beer steins. The law was repealed four years later by Pennypacker’s successor.

The episode illustrated the power of a cartoon and helps explain why politicians sometimes respond so hysterically to them. An editorial cartoon in the New York World is believed to have played a decisive role in the 1884 presidential election. Thomas Nast’s biting cartoons in Harper’s Weekly helped bring down “Boss” Tweed, the corrupt 19th-century New York City politician. (Dispatching his goons to lean on Nast, Tweed reportedly told them, “My constituents can’t read. But they can’t help seeing them damned pictures!”)

During World War One, the U.S. government regarded cartoonists as so influential that it created a Bureau of Cartoons to mobilize them in support of the war effort.

Terrorists and dictators take cartoons seriously, too.

-An editorial cartoon in the Baltimore Sun in 1931, challenging the lynching of a local African-American man, triggered riots by racist mobs outside the Sun’s offices.

-Islamist terrorists angry over a cartoon massacred twelve staffers at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2015.

-Syria's most famous editorial cartoonist, Ali Ferzat, now lives in exile in Kuwait, to which he fled after he was brutally beaten because of a caricature he drew of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

-Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has suspended cartoonists from the staff of the official PA newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, when he has disapproved of their views.

-Algerian political cartoonist Ali Dilem has been prosecuted so many times for his satirical drawings that there is now a law on the books, known as the Dilem Amendment, which mandates a year in jail for insulting Algeria's president.

The cartoon that’s bothering Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, drawn by Henry Payne in National Review, portrayed her as the owner of an exploding pager similar to those used by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

Tlaib said it was “disgraceful” that National Review published “this racism.” She predicted it “will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. “

If a politician or a columnist falsely accused a U.S. congresswoman of being associated with an anti-American terrorist group such as Hezbollah, it would be perfectly understandable that she would denounce the publication of such libel as disgraceful. But an editorial cartoon is satire. The entire premise of that art form is to use exaggeration and absurdity to make a humorous point. The Payne cartoon about Tlaib is no more “disgraceful” than skits satirizing politicians on Saturday Night Live.

Moreover, Tlaib herself has provided plenty of ammunition to inspire cartoons such as Payne’s.

She responded to October 7 with a statement that in effect justified the massacres, calling them a response to “the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid.” Her statement did not even mention Hamas. The Union for Reform Judaism denounced Tlaib’s statement as “shameful” and urged her to retract it. She ignored the request.

Soon after that, Rep. Tlaib publicly invoked the phrase “From the river to the sea” (advocating the destruction of Israel), a popular slogan among Arab terrorist groups. That earned her an official censure by the House of Representatives.

Tlaib voted against a bill preventing perpetrators of the October 7 atrocities from entering the United States. She voted “present” on a resolution condemning the Hamas gang-rapes.

A prominent American supporter of Hezbollah, Abbas Hamideh, was invited by Tlaib to her 2019 dinner celebrating her election to Congress, and she posed for photos with him. This past summer, Rep. Tlaib said it was “genocidal” for Israel to strike at senior Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr, in Lebanon. (What will she say about Nasrallah's elimination, one wonders, ed.)

So it’s not as if Henry Payne created his cartoon from thin air. His satirical comment was anchored in years of Tlaib rationalizing Arab terrorism, identifying with the goals of Arab terrorists, opposing anti-terrorist congressional resolutions, and even posing for photo-ops with an unabashed supporter of a terrorist group. If you do that sort of thing, eventually some astute cartoonist is bound to notice.
