Jewish publication may drop Coulter over ‘f—ing Jews’ tweet
(JTA) — A conservative Jewish publication may drop conservative political pundit Ann Coulter’s column in the wake of her tweet slamming Republican candidates for pandering to “f—ing Jews.”
The founder of the online Jewish World Review, Binyamin Jolkovsky, told the Daily Beast that he has reached out to Coulter but that she had not responded as of Friday.
Her latest column, which appeared on the website on Sept. 17, a day after the CNN Republican debate and her infamous tweet and follow-up tweets, included an editor’s note reading: “This column was prepared before the author’s anti-Semitic rant. JWR reached out to her and awaits her reply.”

Israeli forces arrest dozens of Palestinians
Israeli regime forces have detained nearly 40 Palestinians across the occupied territories following a series of clashes over the recent Israeli violations of the holy al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Israeli police sources confirmed on Sunday that they had arrested at least a dozen Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and 27 others in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) over the previous two days.
Palestinian protesters on Friday clashed with Tel Aviv regime forces in several cities across the occupied territories in a “day of rage” to denounce the Israeli acts of aggression against worshipers at the holy compound.
The arrests came days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed tougher penalties and “war” on Palestinian protesters. The Israeli premier said at an emergency meeting on Wednesday that Israel plans to broaden the mandate of its forces following clashes between them and Palestinian protesters in and around the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied West Bank.
The brutal assaults against Palestinians at the holy compound started last Sunday following the deployment of Israeli soldiers to the area for the Jewish Rosh Hashanah New Year holiday. However, Tel Aviv regime forces had already applied sweeping restrictions on entries into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound since August 26.

Hamas captures Israeli drone in northern Gaza Strip
The Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas says it has captured a drone belonging to the Israeli regime in the north of the besieged Gaza Strip, the second such incident in about two months.
According to media reports on Saturday, members of the Hamas military wing, Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, seized the aircraft after it fell in an area on the outskirts of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
Qassam Brigades officials have not made any comments on the report so far.
This is the second Israeli drone seized by Palestinian resistance fighters over the past two months. Back in July, Hamas announced that another drone came down in northern Gaza, adding that the movement’s fighters managed to rebuild the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
The Tel Aviv regime makes frequent use of UAVs to gather intelligence on the coastal enclave, which has been under a crippling Israeli siege since 2007.

UK Labour members to defy Corbyn on Syria airstrikes — report
Senior parliamentarians to vote with the government in support of raids on Islamic State, the Sunday Times reports
September 20, 2015, 4:23 am
Senior members of Britain’s opposition Labour Party are planning to defy their new pacifist leader and vote with the government to carry out airstrikes against Islamic State extremists in Syria, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.
The paper said that half of the party’s shadow cabinet would side with Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative government in a House of Commons vote it said could be held next month.
Britain is already taking part in US-led airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq and the government wants to extend the campaign to Syria but has said it will ask for parliamentary consent.
“There is a majority in the Commons for airstrikes in Syria if Cameron has a proper plan for targeting Isis,” a shadow cabinet member told the paper, using another acronym for the jihadist group.
“You would get half the shadow cabinet supporting it,” the senior Labour official was quoted as saying.

Brazil signals discomfort with appointment of ex-settler leader as envoy
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has expressed discomfort with the appointment of a former settler leader as Israel’s ambassador to her country.
Rousseff sent a backchannel message to Israel with her concerns that accepting Dani Dayan will signal “support for the settlement enterprise,” the Hebrew-language news website Ynet reported Sunday.
An official Brazilian refusal to accept the appointment could spark a diplomatic crisis between the two countries, according to Ynet. The rejection of an ambassador is rare.
Late last month, dozens of Brazilian organizations signed a petition calling on Rousseff to reject the appointment, calling it a “violation of the international legitimacy and sovereignty of Brazil.”

Reykjavik mayor says boycott of Israeli goods only meant for ‘occupied areas’
(JTA) — The mayor of Iceland’s capital said he will recommend that its City Council reform its resolution to boycott all Israeli products.
Only goods produced in “occupied areas” of Israel will be boycotted by the City Council, Reykjavik Mayor Dagur Eggertsson told the Icelandic national broadcaster RUV, the English-language Iceland Monitor reported Saturday.
Eggertsson said he will suggest at the City Council meeting on Thursday that the lawmakers retract the resolution in its current form and take steps to reform it, according to RUV.
“I expected a reaction, but not on this scale,” Eggertsson said. “It appears to be a stronger reaction than when Iceland declared support for an independent Palestine” in 2011.

Bill Maher: Trump a ‘little Hitler-adjacent’
Political talk show host says presidential candidate ‘stirring up xenophobic hate among an angry, humiliated population’
September 20, 2015, 3:02 am
Political talk show host Bill Maher likened Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler on Friday, after the billionaire failed to correct a man who said President Obama was Muslim.

On Thursday, Trump declined to correct a questioner’s incorrect statement about the president at a town hall event and said he’d be “looking at” a claim that terrorists run training camps on American soil.
“Did you see what happened yesterday? Trump was taking questions at his Klan rally in New Hampshire, and he learned a very important lesson: Never give a microphone to a man who thinks Donald Trump should be president!” Maher said on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
Maher also poked fun at claims Obama was setting up “reeducation” camps on US soil and said the US president ought to do so — for Tea Party supporters.
