In Iran, It’s Again “Death to Palestine”
The immediate cause of the latest protests in Iran against the government was the shooting down of the Ukrainian passenger jet.

Italy: Leftist post-Salvini government considers amnesty for 700,000 illegal migrants, votes for UN migration pact
While the “populist” Matteo Salvini had a role in government, Italy stood apart in controlling the flow of migrants, as well as the spread of jihad, and was known for its effective use of deportations as part of its counter-terrorism strategy.

Islamic Republic of Iran: MP offers “$3 million reward in cash to whoever kills Trump”
“U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood dismissed the reward as ‘ridiculous’, telling reporters in Geneva it showed the ‘terrorist underpinnings’ of Iran’s establishment.” Indeed. And if anyone succeeds in doing this, there will be great rejoicing in Washington and mourning all over Iran. It’s a topsy-turvy world. “Iran MP offers reward for killing Trump, U.S. calls […]
