The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is facing intense backlash after it was revealed that a policy paper it promoted contained what critics say are «antisemitic lies,» while also facing accusations that the organization is «infiltrated or controlled by Islamists.»

This latest embarrassment for British police authorities comes as the government continues to face criticism for alleged two-tier policing, especially when it comes to anti-Israel and pro-British protests.

The paper from the organization, titled «From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting Anti-Muslim Hatred and Promoting Human Rights,» was recently unearthed by The Spectator. 

In it, then-NAMP Vice President Khaldoun Kabbani refers to Zionism as «a narrow, nationalist, and colonialist viewpoint that fosters anti-Muslim hatred, among other forms of xenophobia, distancing itself from the inclusive and compassionate teachings of Judaism.»

In addition to calling the IDF a Zionist terrorist group, the paper surmises that «eventually» the IDF’s actions following Oct. 7 «will be recognized as terrorism, though likely without any reference to the Jewish faith.» The report appeared to be deleted from the web, though it continues to be hosted online through an archive at the Wayback Machine.

Andrew Fox, senior associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that the paper is filled with «antisemitic lies and blood libels.»

Kabbani’s paper calls for «dismantling myths through education,» but he presents unsourced facts about Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. 

In one segment, Kabbani notes that «as the hostilities commenced, reports in Israeli and Western media outlets began circulating alarming and unverified stories about acts of violence by Hamas, including claims of beheadings and assaults. These reports have significantly contributed to increasing hatred towards Islam.»

Facing accusations from angry British Jews that his government has repeatedly failed to protect them, Starmer pledged immediate increased funding for synagogues and other sites but insisted UK society must «come together» to «fight antisemitism».

Dr. Chen Kugel, head of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel, told the themedialine in Nov 2023 that many of the burned bodies of Oct. 7 victims, including those of babies, are «without heads.» He admitted it was «difficult to ascertain whether they were decapitated before or after death, as well as how they were beheaded.»

Kabbani also said that reports of 120 children being killed by Hamas «have been challenged by more recent disclosures indicating that not a single Israeli infant was a casualty during the said attacks. It was later confirmed that only one child’s death occurred two days following the attack, with circumstances involving IDF gunfire and lacking precise details.»

Contrary to its report, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has stated that at least 29 of the fatalities from Oct. 7 whose ages had been provided by Oct. 25 were children.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement, Stephen Silverman, said in a public statement that the NAMP paper is «evidence that a major national policing association has been infiltrated by or is controlled by Islamists.» Silverman called for those «responsible for publishing this extremist screed» to be «immediately investigated by their respective forces’ professional standards departments and dismissed.»

The National Police Chiefs’ Council did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about whether they were concerned by the NAMP’s paper, whether it would take action in reference to it, and whether its statements were problematic for public trust.

Fox News Digital also received no response from NAMP or the British government.

Noting the «skyrocketing antisemitism» in the United Kingdom, Fox said that the NAMP’s policy paper is «grossly inappropriate.» He said that «whilst it is important that minority groups have dialogue with the police to ensure their issues are considered, divisive internal organizations, such as a group for Muslim officers, are clearly counterproductive to public trust. This practice should be clamped down on immediately and no police force should engage with this organization going forward.»

Dem senator accused of being ‘nowhere to be found’ on crucial issue impacting kids in swing state

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is being accused by Georgia’s top child welfare official of using vulnerable children and the state’s embattled foster care system for campaign credit after releasing a new ad touting his work on the state’s troubled system.

Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS) Director Candice Broce criticized the new foster care-focused ad released last week as the Georgia Democrat seeks re-election in one of the nation’s most closely watched races. In the ad, titled «Our Kids,» Ossoff highlights «a scathing report» and «yearlong bipartisan investigation» alongside Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., into the Georgia foster care system. 

Ossoff presents his probe and new legislation as part of his record protecting children and holding the system accountable. However, Broce says the Democrat is overstating his role and turning a serious child welfare issue into a political victory lap.

«For five years, I’ve been in the trenches fighting for vulnerable children and foster care reform alongside thousands of DFCS workers. Trust us when we say Jon Ossoff is nowhere to be found,» Broce said in a post on X. «Ossoff didn’t get more funding for DFCS after calling us incompetent and resource-strapped. He didn’t secure more federal support for child advocacy centers despite the State’s requests.»

FOX NEWS POLL: AN EARLY LOOK AT THE GEORGIA SENATE RACE

«He didn’t fix federal law putting group homes out of business,» she continued. «He hasn’t streamlined adoptions for kids placed with loving families. Jon’s ad sounds great, but his words are meaningless to the men and women in the arena.»

Ossoff’s team fired back, however, calling Broce an «unqualified partisan political hack» and accusing her of «dangerous incompetence.» They pointed to Ossoff’s oversight work highlighted in the advertisement that Broce criticizes, which the spokesperson said found children in Georgia’s foster care system were likely sex trafficked while in state care, among other issues. 

«The Office of the Child Advocate, juvenile court judges, former foster children, nonpartisan advocates, investigative reporting, and Senator Ossoff’s yearlong investigation have laid bare the deep and dangerous dysfunction at DFCS,» an Ossoff campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

The campaign also cited testimony from juvenile court judges who accused Broce of suggesting that children with special needs be held in juvenile detention while DFCS searched for placements. Broce has denied the allegations, describing them as politically motivated and arguing they distort a broader discussion about how to keep foster youth with complex behavioral issues, runaway histories and trafficking risks safe amid placement shortages.

«Candice Broce is a partisan political hack irresponsibly placed in charge of care for the state’s most vulnerable kids,» the Ossoff spokesperson said. «Instead of whining that her dangerous incompetence was made public, she should fix her broken agency.»

Broce rejected the attacks on her qualifications, pointing to her background as a health care attorney, former chief deputy executive counsel and chief operating officer to Gov. Brian Kemp and saying roughly 40 state agencies, including DFCS, reported to her in that role.

At the same time, she did not dispute that Georgia’s foster care system has faced serious challenges, but argued Ossoff used those problems for hearings, reports and campaign messaging without delivering meaningful help to fix them.

«If you’re going to beat us down, show up with something to make it better,» Broce said. «He didn’t do that.»

Broce said Ossoff could have used his federal role to pursue resources on Medicaid, behavioral health access and placement capacity, rather than simply spotlighting DFCS failures.

«What’s actually bipartisan is the over $100 million in state funds we’ve gotten from Republican and Democrat legislators who support the issues we’re tackling and believe we deserve more resources,» Broce said. «If he decides today that he actually wants to help us and vulnerable Georgia kids, we’d welcome him with open arms.»

However, Ossoff’s team contests it is not even «Senator Ossoff’s job to fix the state agency [Broce] leads» in the first place, and said Broce was whining that «it’s Senator Ossoff’s job to fix the state agency she leads.»

«While Sen. Ossoff led oversight, passed an anti-trafficking law, and helped save foster care funding President Trump cut, unqualified partisan hack Broce whines it’s Senator Ossoff’s job to fix the state agency she leads,» Ossoff’s representatives told Fox News Digital.

Broce’s criticism of Ossoff included a contrast between his record and that of Georgia’s other U.S. Senator, Democrat Raphael Warnock. Broce called the difference «stark,» pointing to Warnock’s community events for vulnerable mothers and children and adoption-related measures as examples of practical support she says Ossoff has not delivered.

«Compare his child welfare record to Warnock’s. It’s crystal clear which U.S. Senator from Georgia cares about vulnerable families and kids, and it’s not Jon,» Broce said in her X post.

Ossoff, who ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination, is seeking a second term in November against Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., who won the Republican nomination after defeating former football coach Derek Dooley in a mid-June GOP runoff election. Warnock will not face reelection again until 2028.

Conmoción en Damasco: explotaron dos bombas frente al hotel de Macron durante su visita a Siria

Published

on


Una serie de explosiones conmueven a Damasco, la capital de Siria, donde el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron se convirtió en el primer jefe de estado occidental en llegar ayer en visita oficial.

Emmanuel Macron se encuentra «sano y salvo», anunció el Palacio del Elíseo, tras las explosiones frente a su hotel, el Four Seasons, el más moderno de la capital siria, esta mañana.

«Nos encontramos en el palacio presidencial, donde se está celebrando una reunión prolongada entre los presidentes y sus delegaciones. El programa continúa», informó el Palacio del Elíseo.

Cómo fueron las explosiones

Dos ​​bombas estallaron esta mañana frente al Hotel Four Seasons de Damasco, donde Emmanuel Macron pasó la noche. Actualmente se encuentra en el palacio presidencial, donde se celebra una reunión ampliada entre los líderes francés y sirio y sus respectivas delegaciones.

Un video muestra un auto en llamas, mientras que otro muestra la detonación de lo que parece ser un contenedor de basura, al borde de la carretera.

Según medios locales, la comitiva del presidente Macron había salido del Hotel Four Seasons 15 minutos antes de que estallaran las bombas.

Ayuda a Siria para su reinserción

La visita de alto perfil del presidente francés a Siria, país que estuvo bajo dominio francés entre 1920 y 1946, tiene como objetivo ayudar al país árabe a proyectar una imagen de estabilidad, tras años de brutal guerra civil bajo el régimen de Bashar al-Asad, el exdictador.

Esto ocurre mientras Ahmed al-Sharaa, presidente de Siria, se prepara para asistir a la cumbre de la OTAN en Turquía. El presidente Donald Trump cree que se puede encargar de la seguridad de Medio Oriente, según anunció en su conferencia de prensa en el G7.

El presidente francés realiza la primera visita de un líder de una potencia occidental a Siria desde el ascenso al poder de la coalición islamista.

Qué contaron los testigos

Testigos vieron humo saliendo de una zona cercana al hotel, donde el presidente francés durmió en el centro de Damasco. De allí partió por la mañana para reunirse con el palacio presidencial, antes de las explosiones.

Una de las bombas fue colocada en un contenedor de basura y la otra en un vehículo cerca del Hotel Four Seasons, especificó la fuente. Periodistas vieron las bombas desde las ventanas del Ministerio de Turismo, ubicado frente al hotel de lujo.

Fuerzas de seguridad se desplegaron en gran número en el lugar, donde llegaron ambulancias, e impidieron el acceso a los periodistas.

Según un periodista del diario francés Le Figaro en Damasco, el presidente Macron llegó “sano y salvo al palacio presidencial sirio”, donde tenía previsto reunirse con Ahmed al-Charaa , antes de asistir a una reunión con líderes empresariales.

Ambulancias con las sirenas a todo volumen acudieron rápidamente al lugar de las explosiones. Las fuerzas de seguridad bloqueaban varios accesos a la zona. Según el Ministerio del Interior sirio, la doble explosión dejó 18 heridos, entre ellos cuatro policías.

Tensión y atentados

Emmanuel Macron llegó a Siria el lunes por la noche, en la primera visita de un líder de una potencia occidental al país desde que una coalición islamista llegó al poder. Su visita se produjo después de que diez personas murieran el jueves pasado en un atentado con bomba contra un café, en el centro de Damasco.

El lunes por la noche, Emmanuel Macron cenó con el presidente sirio en un histórico restaurante del centro de la capital , antes de visitar con él a pié la famosa Mezquita de los Omeyas, en el corazón de la ciudad.Damasco histórica es una de las ciudades más antiguas y mas bellas del mundo.

En la Siria posterior a la guerra civil, existen numerosas facciones que podrían tener un motivo para perpetrar los ataques, incluido el Estado Islámico. Este grupo terrorista controla parte del territorio al este de Damasco. No reconoce al gobierno de al-Sharaa, a pesar de que este fue un exmilitante de Al Qaeda.

Los remanentes del régimen de Assad, en particular de la secta alawita del exdictador, ahora amenazada, también son posibles sospechosos.

Las fuerzas de seguridad sirias han acordonado las carreteras alrededor de los lugares de las explosiones.

Cuba restablece parcialmente la electricidad tras el tercer apagón nacional en seis meses

Cuba afirmó este martes haber restablecido más del 30% del suministro eléctrico en La Habana tras un nuevo apagón nacional, en un contexto de crisis energética agudizada por el bloqueo petrolero de Estados Unidos. Es el tercer apagón en los últimos seis meses y el octavo desde finales de 2024.

Según el último parte de la Empresa Eléctrica de La Habana, se han restablecido los “circuitos de distribución que benefician a 262.369 clientes (…) para el 30,4% en la ciudad”.

“El restablecimiento se realiza de forma gradual en la medida que lo permitan las condiciones”, añade la empresa, según la cual ya funcionan los servicios “vitales de salud” de 43 centros de atención médica de la capital.

La falta de combustible “complejiza indiscutiblemente el proceso de restauración” de la red eléctrica, había declarado el lunes por la noche en la televisión estatal Lázaro Guerra, director de Electricidad del Ministerio de Energía y Minas.

Miguel Díaz-Canel responsabilizó directamente a la política estadounidense de sanciones contra la isla. “Mientras EEUU trata de inducir un estallido social por asfixia, al bloquear los accesos de combustible a Cuba, la UNE (Unión Eléctrica de Cuba) se moviliza”, dijo en X.

“Es heroico lo que hacen los trabajadores eléctricos en medio de un bloqueo energético genocida”, añadió.

A mediodía del lunes, la compañía eléctrica anunció “desconexión total” del sistema que afecta a toda la isla, donde viven 9,6 millones de personas. No se precisaron las causas.

El envejecimiento del sistema eléctrico sumado al bloqueo petrolero desde enero hace que los cubanos enfrenten apagones de hasta 30 horas en la capital, y de varios días en el interior de la isla.

“Al final, teníamos tres o cuatro horas de luz al día, así que el mayor impacto ahora es que no sabes cuándo volverás a tener ese poquito de luz”, declaró a la AFP Meybol Font, una trabajadora independiente, de 51 años.

Es agónico vivir así”, acotó la mujer.

La producción de electricidad en el país depende principalmente de siete centrales térmicas obsoletas, algunas de las cuales llevan más de 40 años en explotación y sufren averías frecuentes o deben parar para mantenimiento, así como de una red de generadores de respaldo alimentados con diésel importado.

La central eléctrica Antonio Guiteras, ubicada en el oeste de la isla y la principal del país, se encuentra paralizada desde hace varios días por una falla.

Esta central ha registrado más de 15 paralizaciones sucesivas por averías desde principios de año. Esta situación provoca cortes y racionamientos constantes, pese a un amplio programa de construcción de parques solares lanzado hace dos años.

Cuba se encuentra sumida en una fuerte crisis económica con escasez de alimentos, medicinas y una inflación galopante.

Los apagones se han intensificado desde que la administración estadounidense de Donald Trump cortó los envíos de petróleo desde Venezuela, principal proveedor de la isla, y amenazó con sanciones a otros países que le vendan combustible.

No hay wifi, no hay electricidad, no podemos trabajar”, explicó a la AFP el joven, que prefirió no revelar su identidad.

Cuba solicitó para el martes una sesión especial de la Asamblea General, el principal órgano representativo de las Naciones Unidas, para abordar el tema de las sanciones estadounidenses.

En ese contexto, el canciller cubano, Bruno Rodríguez, afirmó el lunes que Washington busca impedir que la Asamblea se pronuncie sobre el impacto del bloqueo petrolero y otras sanciones impuestas a la isla.

“El gobierno de EEUU intenta impedir que la Asamblea General de la ONU se pronuncie. Presiona a gobiernos y busca coaccionar la voluntad soberana de los Estados miembros”, señaló en X Rodríguez, quien participará de la sesión del martes en la sede de la ONU en Nueva York.

Se requiere una votación de los Estados miembros para la apertura de un debate de este tipo ante la Asamblea General.
