Popular Far-Left Account Spends Christmas Doxing and Threatening ICE Employees with Bombs, Apparently Does Not Violate Twitter Rules

A Twitter account with over 8,000 followers spent Christmas posting the names, photos, job titles, and locations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Despite being reported dozens of times, Twitter has apparently not found the tweets to be in violation of their terms of service.

According to a report from Far Left Watch, the user @AntiFashGordon had grabbed the employee list from another user, @Animal_Mothah, who described the ICE employees as “American genociders.”

‘Shameful’: Israeli Defense Ministry's leadership memorial criticized for notable omissions

Benjamin Netanyahu’s Defense Ministry is accused of rewriting history as a memorial to former Israeli leaders contains notable absences, such as the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres’ time as president.

The former home of Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, and the country’s old defense headquarters was recently renovated to “remain faithful to the original look while preserving the house’s spirit.” However, eyebrows have been raised at a number of missing details and curious caption choices, Haaretz reports.

A ceremony was held to mark the renovation works at the site in Tel Aviv in September and the building has since opened to the public.

A wall dedicated to Israel’s prime ministers was missing the 12th prime minister, Ehud Olmert. He served from 2006-2009, before resigning over charges of bribery and corruption. Parliamentary elections followed, and Netanyahu became prime minister.

There was no mention of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, which perhaps comes as no surprise given Netanyahu has been accused of inciting violence against the Labor Party leader before he was killed in 1995 by right-wing extremist Yigal Amir.

Amir considered Rabin a traitor for agreeing to the Oslo Accords with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

"Netanyahu has made one further step in distorting history, shaping it in his own image,” said Labor MK Merav Michaeli, who added:

He, who led the incitement that resulted in Rabin’s murder, and who continued doing so against people continuing in Rabin’s path, is now trying to erase the murder, the peace treaties and Peres’ presidency.

Meanwhile, an official involved in the renovation told Haaretz that the decision to omit Rabin’s killing was “shameful.”

“It’s obvious that when you write about Rabin, everyone remembers the assassination,” they added. “It’s not something that’s suddenly forgotten.”

While Shimon Peres was featured on the wall, his term as president from 2007-2014 was not mentioned – but his time as defense minister was.

Netanyahu ran against Peres for prime minister in the 1996 general election, winning by just one percent. He became prime minister for the second time in 1999, which was during Peres’ presidency.

Netanyahu’s caption on the wall described him as being “the finance minister who led extensive reforms in Israel’s economy,” with his role as opposition leader featured, whereas other prime ministers’ cabinet positions didn’t receive a mention.

Details from Netanyahu’s own terms were missing, like any mention of the conflicts Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012 and 2014’s Operation Protective Edge.

Chinese president uses threats to urge Taiwan to unify with mainland China

Xi Jinping warned that the use of force was not off the table if Taiwan refused to cooperate

Chinese President Xi Jinping told the people of Taiwan on Wednesday that they were welcome to join a unified China, but warned that he was not ruling out military action if they refused.

What's the background?

After World War II, China went through a civil war. This ended with the communist forces of Mao Zedong forcing the nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek to retreat to Taiwan in 1949. Chiang and his supporters took over the island and set up a dictatorship.

Since then, Taiwan has claimed its independence from China, but the Chinese government has refused to recognize this. China has pressured other nations to cut off economic and diplomatic ties with Taiwan, in order to pressure the Taiwanese government into rejoining China.

In Taiwan's November elections, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's party lost. Tsai accused China of interfering in order to oust her from power because of her outspoken opposition to Taiwanese unification with China.

The U.S. cut formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 1979, in order to strengthen its relationship with China.

What did President Xi say?

Xi promised Taiwan that under Chinese rule it could have the same "one country, two systems" model that Hong Kong has. Hong Kong was a former British territory, but was given back to China in 1997 under the condition that it would keep a "high degree of autonomy" and not be subjected to China's socialist economic policies.

"Different systems are not an obstacle to unification, and even less are they an excuse for separatism," Xi said in his statement. "The private property, religious beliefs and legitimate rights and interests of our Taiwanese compatriots will be fully assured.

"Reunification is the historical trend and the right path, Taiwan independence is … a dead end," he warned. He promised "lasting peace" and "good and prosperous lives" for the Taiwanese people after unification.

"With the great motherland's support, Taiwan compatriots' welfare will be even better, their development space will be even greater," he said.

Xi also stressed that "foreign interference is intolerable," and that his government "will not promise to renounce the use of force."

Mexico's New President Unveils 'Free Zones' Plan To Stop Illegal Immigration To U.S.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has unveiled a new plan to curtail illegal immigration to the United States by focusing on creating economic "free zones" along the U.S.-Mexico border.

López Obrador, a leftist, announced the Tax Incentive Decree for the Northern Border Region which will create free zones near the border that are over 15 miles wide and will reportedly encompass approximately 2,000 miles. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the free zones will:

reduce income taxes from 30 percent to 20 percent

slash the Value Added Tax for goods coming into the country from 16 percent to 8 percent

boost the minimum wage 100 percent to 176 pesos ($8.80), and

make fuel prices the same as those in the the U.S.

"It’s going to be the biggest free zone in the world," Lopez Obrador said. "It is very important to project for winning investment, creating jobs and taking advantage of the economic strength of the United States."

"Proponents of the president's 'free zone' plan believe it would reduce the incentive for Mexicans to migrate to the U.S. and increase competition among local businesses," Fox News reported. "But others fear that Mexican companies, attracted by low taxes, might move to the free zone and create an overall loss of tax revenue for the country as a whole."

Following his election victory, Lopez Obrador was reportedly considering creating a border force to stop illegal immigration and stem the tide of drugs and illegal guns entering Mexico. Alfonso Durazo, Lopez Obrador's future chief of public security, made the revelation in an interview with Bloomberg. "We’re going to create a border police force that will be highly specialized," Durazo told Bloomberg. "They need to apply the law."

Bloomberg reported:

Lopez Obrador and the left-wing party he formed in 2014 won a landslide victory in last week’s election after voters disgusted with rising crime, corruption and poverty kicked the nation’s established parties out of power. AMLO, as he’s known, also got a boost from pledges to protect Mexicans against an immigrant crackdown by U.S. President Donald Trump. Now he’ll be faced with the unenviable task of securing the nation’s own untamed southern border, while avoiding the hard-line tactics he has criticized Trump for.

Lopez Obrador also announced after his victory that he planned to "travel without armed guards and claim[ed] that the people will protect him, even as the country has been rocked by scores of political assassinations over the past several months." The Daily Wire reported:

President Enrique Pena Nieto reportedly offered Lopez Obrador federal protection until he takes office, but he declined, saying, "The people will protect me. … He who fights for justice has nothing to fear."

Lopez Obrador, who is commonly referred to as "AMLO," also told a large crowd of supporters: "You’ll all be watching out for me."

Etellekt, a risk analysis firm, reported in July that over 130 politicians were killed in the approximately nine months leading up to Mexico's presidential election.

Lopez Obrador now has to face President Donald Trump and the mounting pressure the Trump administration is placing on Mexico to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.

Former Israeli Special Ops Soldier Blames ‘Failed Immigration Policy’ For Terrorist Chaos In Europe

Former Israeli special ops soldier Aaron Cohen said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday that Europe’s “failed immigration policy” is the reason they’re experiencing a surge in terrorist activity.

Cohen was discussing a New Year’s Eve attack in the UK that left three people stabbed and said lone wolf terror attacks are likely to continue. He also said allowing “nonconforming immigrants into your country” is a recipe for disaster.

“It’s more of the same thing over and over again,” Cohen declared. “There is a commitment with these lone wolves that’s creating a pattern here which is the lone wolf epidemic is very closely knit across Europe and to me that’s concerning.”

“What we have here is the epitome of a failed immigration policy,” he added.

“I don’t know how else to put this other than the fact if you let a million nonconforming immigrants into your country and grant them citizenship and they’re so diametrically opposed to the way you live, to the values that you believe in and have absolutely zero background capability to be able to vet these immigrants and what they were up to in these prior countries such as Syria and Iraq, Iran — and I’m talking about some of the nastier pockets in the world involving terrorism against the United States — You let them in, in a failed attempt to bring them over these borders and then what you’re going to have is, you’re going to have these pockets of sympathizers growing and spreading their tentacles like nomads across Europe,” Cohen said.

“And that’s what I think we’re looking at, is a failed immigration policy,” he concluded.
