Israeli bill seeks to prevent Arab citizens from living in Jewish areas - NGOs

Human rights groups call the private bill racist and undemocratic, saying it will be used to prevent Arab-Israelis from moving in.

Human rights organizations raised alarm yesterday over a private bill approved by the Ministerial Legislative Committee to expand town acceptance committees on the West Bank and larger communities, charging that the proposal is racist and undemocratic.

A private bill approved by the Ministerial Legislative Committee to expand acceptance committees in West Bank towns and larger communities is racist and undemocratic, human-rights organizations said Sunday.

The amendment to the 2011 law that allows towns to screen aspiring applicants would expand the applicability of the legislation from townships with 400 households to those with up to 1,000 households. The current law applies to “community settlements” in the Negev and the Galilee. The private bill submitted by Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kroizer in January would include the Emek Iron, South Hebron Hills, Lachish and Adullam regions. A similar government bill will also be considered by the Knesset.

Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel said the bill was part of a series of measures to implement “racial segregation” and promote the annexation of Judea and Samaria.

The law does not allow acceptance committees to reject resident candidates “for reasons of race, religion, gender, nationality, disability, class, age, parentage, sexual orientation, country of origin, views or party political affiliation,” it said.

Provisions allowing applicants deemed unsuitable for the social fabric or compatibility with the social structure of the town effectively sanction discrimination, Adalah said.

“The Acceptance Committee Law is already used to regulate a mechanism of racial segregation and is intended to implement the value of Jewish settlement that the Nation State Law enshrines as a supreme principle,” Adalah’s Dr. Suhad Bashara said in a statement. “The government’s documents openly reveal that the deepening of racism is now Israel’s official policy, and that it wishes to act to annex the occupied territories by applying the law.”

Israeli NGO disputes government's claim

The application of Israeli law in the disputed territories constituted an act of annexation, Adalah said.

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) said the Knesset was not authorized to enact a law for West Bank settlements, and expansion of the law is undemocratic.

The current law is already controversial and was supposed to apply to small communities with unique characteristics, such as kibbutzim, moshavim and their expanded neighborhoods, it said.

Vivek Ramaswamy says he wouldn't ban transgender military members

Ramaswamy said he would not reinstate Trump's ban on transgender service members.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said Sunday that he would not ban transgender people from joining the military.

When asked on ABC's "This Week" whether he would reinstate former President Donald Trump's ban on transgender military members, Ramaswamy said: "I would not reinstate a ban on transgender members. I would, however, be very clear that for kids, that's where my policies are very focused. We should not be foisting this ideology onto children."

Reporter Martha Raddatz followed up, "But you would not ban transgender members of the military?"

"I would not," Ramaswamy responded.

One of the first initiatives under the Biden administration was to repeal directives issued by Trump restricting the enlistment of transgender individuals.

Biden administration's 2021 policy "ensures that no person, solely based on his or her gender identity, will be denied accession into the Army; involuntarily separated or discharged from the Army; denied reenlistment or continuation of service; or subjected to adverse action or mistreatment," according to the Army's website.

It appears that Ramaswamy is the first 2024 GOP candidate to publicly support transgender military members.

New Wave Of Russian Strikes Hit Military Facilities In Ukraine

In response to the massive shelling of Russian borders regions, Russian forces launched another wave of precision strikes on military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) throughout the country.

During the night, an air alert has been declared in all Ukrainian regions. This time, the attack, which was carried out by UAVs and cruise missiles, was not massive, but targeted. Targets in Kiev, Kirovograd, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions were hit.

Ukrainian military officials confirmed damage to military facilities. Spokesman of the Air Forces of the AFU, claimed that Russian strikes damaged an airfield in Kropyvnytskyi, Kirovograd region. At least two Russian missiles hit the facility. Ukrainian air defence forces failed to intercept them, the spokesman complained.

He also confirmed that some military facilities in the Sumy region were struck. They were reportedly hit by five Russian UAVs.

On the morning, smoke was seen raising on the outskirts of Kiev. The locals claimed that there was another strike. Ukrainian media reported that plastic pipes caught fire in the field.

On the evening of June 3, more military facilities of the AFU were destroyed in the cities of Dnipro, Dnepropetrovsk regions, and Slavyansk, the DPR. LINK

On the morning of June 4, an air alert again sounded in four Ukrainian regions, including Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. The alarm was also announced in the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporozhye region.

BIG QUESTION and A BIG COVERUP – Durham Report Brings Sunlight on Detail Never Released by IG Michael Horowitz About FBI Targeting Trump

I’m going to go into the deep weeds on this story because many people are missing a key facet. The names behind the Trump targeting operation are included, along with citations for independent checks by House congressional investigators.

Inside the recently released report by John Durham [CITATION], the special counsel outlines how former FBI Director James Comey was intimately involved in the creation of the Carter Page FISA application. Durham notes that Comey kept asking the DOJ National Security Division and FBI counterintelligence investigators, “where’s the FISA, we need the FISA.” However, John Durham never interviewed James Comey or Andrew McCabe. The former FBI Director and Deputy refused to cooperate or give testimony to John Durham. So how did John Durham have details about the demands of Comey?

The answer is found in the footnotes. Durham reviewed transcripts of interviews given by Andrew McCabe to the Office of the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who previously investigated FBI conduct in the origin of the Carter Page FISA. Durham pulled quotes from that transcript. [Footnote #1207, page 199 – Durham Report]

♦QUESTION: If Andrew McCabe gave testimony to the OIG about the motives and impetus of FBI Director James Comey in pushing for the Carter Page FISA application, why did the OIG report never outline those transcribed interviews? Why was the interview transcript never included in the 2019 OIG report?

[ NOTE to Congress. Now that you know a transcribed interview of Andrew McCabe exists in the OIG office, request the transcription and release it to the public.]

Let me answer those questions without the customary pretending from the DC professional political class. The short version is that OIG Michael Horowitz was trying to protect the DOJ and FBI. The longer version is a coverup that includes Rod Rosenstein, Bill Barr and yes, John Durham. I will share that story below.

“Where’s the FISA? We need the FISA?” ~ James Comey

The DOJ-NSD and FBI CoIntel needed to find a safe and legal way to spy on the Trump campaign. The 2016 FISA Title 1 surveillance of former FBI employee Carter Page became the fraudulent justification for that intent.

Because “FISA Title I” surveillance authority against a U.S. citizen is so serious (the U.S. government is essentially calling the target a spy), only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants. One of the four people authorized to make such a Search Warrant request is the Asst. Attorney General as head of the National Security Division of the DOJ.

Large explosion heard across the DMV - cause unknown

At around 3:15pm, reports began to come into the FOX 5 DC newsroom as well on Twitter of an explosion, as far away as Annapolis, but including DC and Northern Virginia.

We don't know the cause of the explosion sound yet but we are working to gather more details.

It does not appear to be an earthquake based on USGS data.

Mysterious 'explosion' is heard in DC that shakes windows and doors and is compared to an 'earthquake' online: Department of Homeland Security says 'there is no threat'

Dozens of people reported hearing a loud 'explosion' in the Washington D.C. area that shook houses and caused panic - though officials have not provided the cause of the loud bang.

Around 3:30 pm Sunday, social media users reported hearing a huge 'bang' in the city, with some saying it shook their homes.

That led to a flood of social media posts and speculation on the source, though none of it has been confirmed. Some suspected a sonic boom from a military drill nearby, while others suggested an earthquake.

Multiple agencies have received calls about the mysterious loud noise, which was heard as far as away as Annapolis, Maryland.

Police are said to be calling the Federal Aviation Administration and others for more information.

The Department of Homeland Security said there is no threat at this time, but no cause was given.

James Comey Says He Will Only Vote for Biden, Warns of “Retribution Presidency” by Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey said in an interview that aired Sunday he will only vote for Joe Biden for president in 2024. Comey, who was fired for cause in 2017 by President Trump, made his ringing endorsement of Biden in an interview with former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki on her MSNBC show. Comey warned Trump could have a “retribution presidency” if elected, ordering the prosecution of his enemies.

The Media Research Center’s Kevin Tober posted clips from the interview:

“Jen Psaki: “Do you intend to vote for [Biden] again or is there anyone on the Republican side you might consider?” James Comey: “It has to be Joe Biden!… The president must be someone who abides the law and our constitution. And there is no one else but Joe Biden.”

Comey is also still peddling Trump-Russia collusion hoax, “Vladimir Putin does not want Joe Biden to be president of the United States…He would very much like Donald Trump to be president again.”

“Think about what four years of a retribution presidency might look like. He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies.”

Comey, who illegally kept and leaked secret government documents as part of a scheme that resulted in fellow former FBI Director Robert Mueller being appointed special counsel to investigate Trump in 2017 over the Russian collusion hoax, commented on the new special counsel investigation into Trump lawfully keeping presidential records at Mar-a-Lago.

Australia and Vietnam sign $105m decarbonisation agreement as Anthony Albanese looks to become closer friends with Hanoi

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he wants Vietnam to become of Australia's "top tier" partners as he wraps up a two-day visit to the capital Hanoi.

Key points:

Australia and Vietnam signed a raft of agreements, including a $105 million package to help Vietnam decarbonise its economy

They also agreed to share intelligence on money laundering and establish a regular trade ministers meeting

Vietnam Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said his nation was "keen to enter a new chapter of strategic collaboration"

Mr Albanese held meetings with all four main political leaders in the South-East Asian country after laying a wreath at the mausoleum of Vietnam's revolutionary founding leader, Ho Chi Minh.

Both countries are trying to finalise a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership by the end of this year, in a move Mr Albanese says will "signal the trust that we have in each other as top-tier partners and enduring friends".

The two countries signed a raft of agreements, including a $105 million package to help Vietnam decarbonise its economy, as well as pacts to share intelligence on money laundering and establish a regular trade ministers' meeting.

They also celebrated two new air routes linking Melbourne and Hanoi and Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh City.

Mr Albanese was given an elaborate welcome at the president's palace in Hanoi, where he was greeted by a full military guard of honour and dozens of young children waving Australian and Vietnamese flags.

Flag-waving Vietnamese officials were also dotted along the government compound road which Mr Albanese walked down with Vietnam's prime minister Pham Minh Chinh on the way to their official meeting.

After the meeting, Mr Pham praised the relationship warmly, saying Vietnam was "keen to enter a new chapter of strategic collaboration and elevate the friendship with Australia to a higher level".

He also said both countries had "reaffirmed the importance of ensuring peace, stability, security, safety, freedom of navigation and overflight in the East Sea or South China Sea".

Vietnam's coast guard vessels have had several tense confrontations with Chinese vessels in waters claimed by both countries in the South China Sea, and Vietnam shares Australia's concerns about Beijing's moves to exert control over the entire region.

Indeed

Sonic booms are more of a crack sound that was a pressured blast
