Foreign AffairsRe: Video Shows Hamas Terrorists Kidnapping 12 Year Old Boy by TobiAbuja(op):
A video shows Noa being bundled onto a motorbike - a friend of Noa confirmed to Sky News that it is her on the bike.

She reaches out beseeching hands to a companion, also being led away, and says to her captors: "Please don't kill me."

'I couldn't offer her a hand'

A subsequent video appears to show her sitting down, drinking water. We don't know where.

Her father, Yakov Argamani, spoke afterwards.

"What can I say? All my life, since she was born, I tried to protect her, and hug her, and support her, and love her," he said.

"And here at this difficult moment, even to cheer her up, I couldn't offer her a hand."

As with the number of dead, the captive Israelis has double significance.

The first is tactical. What does it mean for any military operation in Gaza, from airstrikes to potential troops on the ground?

How are they to be rescued, or are they to be swapped for Hamas prisoners.

But the second is again psychological: the pain caused to family members taken, the idea that no Israeli going about their normal life is really safe.

All of that will be part of Israel's ongoing response.

As Gaya tells Sky News: "I just want my family back and wish my country will bring them back home."

Foreign AffairsVideo Shows Hamas Terrorists Kidnapping 12 Year Old Boy by TobiAbuja(op):
"Everything I have in my life - my family - is missing," Gaya Kalderon tells Sky News.

"I'm terrified from the photographs and can't believe my eyes. It feels like a horror movie that would never come true. But it did."

Gaya, who is 21, lives in Tel Aviv. Much of her family is in Nir Oz, situated in the south of Israel.

On Saturday morning, Hamas swept into the village.

"I was terrified to wake up on Saturday morning and receive messages like 'the terrorists are in my bedroom' and my 16-year-old sister writing to me: 'I'm so scared.'"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbez-juyHbQ

Her father, Offer, her sixteen-year-old sister, Sahar, and her brother, Erez, 10, were abducted from their homes by Hamas.

"I don't know what happened to my father that raised me or my young siblings that I tried to protect my whole lIfe. And now I can't do anything."

Israel is reeling from the attack.

Beyond the immediate suffering, it is a huge psychological shock, both in terms of the people taken captive and the death toll.
But the Israeli death count over the last few days is something that the nation has simply not seen before.

It is the upending of a world-view, something that will inform the Israeli response over the days to come.

So too will the hostage-taking - a violation of international humanitarian law - by Hamas.

Sky News has been verifying videos of abductions.

They show similar tactics: gunmen going house to house in villages, searching for civilians. In some, they use power drills to take doors off the frames.

Once they have their captives, they speed away across the desert - presumably to Gaza.

These are snatch and grab raids against a civilian population.

Noa Argamani is a 25-year-old student who was attending a music festival near Re'im, also in the south.

Shoodboi:
You people keep getting more ridiculous by the day. Ukraine is being badly defeated. The counteroffensive they have been screaming about since last year is a mess. Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have died. The game-changing weapons you were hyping have been turned into scrap metal.

If it were before, you guys would have been showing us photos of destroyed Ukrainian tanks and telling us they are Russian tanks, since both countries use the same equipment. You are winning and yet you are begging for weapons.

Now, the US-made Bradleys and MaxxPro are burning. The German Leopard tanks they've been screaming about have been destroyed. The photos are all over the internet, but you can't claim that they are Russian. Everyone knows who they belong to.

The situation is so horrible that Germany has asked people to stop referring to the German-made Leopard tank as "German." So what should we call it?

Ukraine is so badly defeated that their government has ordered everyone between 18 and 59 to submit themselves for mobilization. They need to raise another 500,000 to bring their army to over 3 million men.

If 2.5 million cannot defeat 300,000. What difference will 3 million make?

The Russians fighting are even less than 300,000 because the 300,000 that Russia mobilized have not even been deployed. Those that are already deployed have not seen combat since Ukraine hasn't even reached Russian frontlines.

And how do you guys respond to your defeat? By making up stories of a nonexistent rivalry between Russia and Wagner.

If Russia bombed Wagner (as you guys claimed yesterday) or Wagner arrested Russian soldiers, CNN and BBC will be the first to tell us. Even you see that they've kept mute since the counteroffensive began. Then you guys went on to quote who?

Charter97 and Nexta? Sites run by cheap bloggers looking for advert money. Propaganda can't save you this time.

There is no rivalry between Russia and Wagner...
Wagner top brass are former Russian army generals.
Their fighters are former Russian special forces.
Their logistics is handled by the Russian army.
Their air force is serviced by the Russian Aerospace Force (VKS).
Their weapons comes from the Russian ministry of defense.
Their pay comes from the Russian government.

So how can they fight Russia?

Some mobilized soldiers and kids of top Russian officials even joined Wagner instead of joining the regular Russian army. Even the son of Putin's spokesman, Peskov, is in Wagner. So does it make sense that Russia and Wagner will fight themselves?

Talk about your failed counteroffensive instead of creating stories to distract everyone.

Foreign AffairsRe: Syrian Refugee Stabs Four Children In French Town (Warning: Graphic Content) by TobiAbuja(op): 1:25pm On Jun 08, 2023
Former Liverpool footballer Anthony Le Tallec said he saw a group of people running at him before a mother shouted at him: 'Run, run, there is someone who is stabbing everyone all along the lake. They are stabbing children, run run!'

He continued: 'I was so surprised, I continued and then suddenly the guy appeared in front of me, then I saw the police who were ten metrrs behind him but they hadn't managed to get him yet. He was so near to me so I got out of the way.'

Another witness told Le Dauphine: 'We saw a person attacking children playing games, small ones, obviously that was his target. After people tried to scare him, he walked away and the police intervened.

'He spoke English. At the beginning, we all thought it was staged, but with the cries of people, we realised it was reality.'

A man told broadcaster BFMTV he saw first aiders working on 'little bodies, three or four years old, perhaps'.

The Interior Ministry said Abdalmash H is a Syrian national with legal refugee status in France after arriving in the country last year.

He was not known to security agencies and his motives were unclear, an investigative source said.

An investigating source said: 'The attacker was a Syrian asylum seeker who has spent a lot of time in Annecy.

'He was in a park square when he started the attack at about 9.45 in the morning. He targeted children indiscriminately, and also wounded an adult.'

Verified pictures posted on social media showed Abdalmasih H. approaching the children wearing shorts, sunglasses, and a scarf around his head before he launched his attack.

The knifeman was arrested soon afterwards following a brief struggle. Video shows three two armed police officers and a man pinning the attacker down on the grass before he was taken away.

Abdalmasih H. was himself seriously wounded by police, and was rushed to hospital, along with his five victims.

France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin tweeted: 'Several people including children were injured by an individual armed with a knife in a square in Annecy.

'The individual was arrested thanks to the very rapid intervention of the police.'

Mr Darmanin confirmed that five people were wounded, including four young children, two of whom are in intensive care.

French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted: 'Attack of absolute cowardice this morning in a park in Annecy. Children and an adult are between life and death.

'The Nation is in shock. Our thoughts are with them as well as their families and the emergency services that mobilised.'

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne is now travelling to the scene of the attack, according to her aide.

Local politician Antoine Armand said in a tweet that children were targeted in a playground in an 'abominable' attack.

He wrote: 'We still know very little but all my support for the victims, relatives, law enforcement and rescue.'

And François Astorg, the Mayor of Annecy, said: 'Appalling attack this morning on the Paquier park in Annecy. All my thoughts to the victims and families.'

Politicians inside the National Assembly in Paris interrupted a debate to hold a minute of silence for the victims of the knife attack this morning.

The assembly president, Yaël Braun-Pivet, said: 'There are some very young children who are in critical condition and I invite you to respect a minute of silence for them, for their families, and so that, we hope, the consequences of this very grave attack do not lead to the nation grieving.'

Foreign AffairsRe: Syrian Refugee Stabs Four Children In French Town (Warning: Graphic Content) by TobiAbuja(op): 1:24pm On Jun 08, 2023
Witnesses said they heard the man shouting before he began attacking the small children in the playground. One of the injured children was in a stroller.

Horrific video of the attack shows Abdalmash H carrying a knife and running towards a screaming mother whose little boy is in a stroller before a local man hits the attacker with his rucksack and chases him away.

But the knifeman jumps into the playground again and runs towards the mother and her toddler. The woman screams and tries to protect her son with her body but Abdalmash quickly moves around her and stabs the little boy twice.

The toddler can be seen screaming in pain as the mother and terrified parents scream for help.

Further video taken minutes after the stabbing shows the attacker being chased by locals across the park. Parents can be heard in the background screaming for help for their injured children.

Soon afterwards, armed police arrived at the scene and were able to subdue the knifeman before he was arrested.

'He jumped (in the playground), started shouting and then went towards the strollers, repeatedly hitting the little ones with a knife,' a witness who gave his name as Ferdinand told BFM TV.

'Mothers were crying, everybody was running,' said George, another witness and owner of a nearby restaurant.

Another witness, who asked not to be named, said: 'The man was shouting in English, and caused absolute panic when he started attacking the little ones.

'He wanted to hurt as many people as he could. He caused carnage. The young children were just easy targets.'

Horrific footage shows a Syrian refugee repeatedly stabbing a toddler in its pram in front of his screaming mother in a frenzied attack at a French playground that saw four children knifed.

The attacker, identified as Abdalmash H, 32, launched his 'abominable' rampage in a lakeside park in Annecy, an alpine town in southeastern France, at around 9.45am.

Video shows the attacker running into the small playground and repeatedly stabbing a toddler in his pram while his screaming mother tries to protect him from the attack.

Further dramatic footage shows the attacker, a Syrian refugee who arrived in France last year, later being pinned to the ground by armed police officers at the park after being chased away from the playground by locals.

Horrified witnesses say mothers ran past them screaming 'run, run' in the aftermath of the frenzied attack, which President Emmanuel Macron has condemned as 'absolute cowardice'.

Four children aged around three - reportedly including a three-year-old British girl - and an adult were seriously injured in the attack. Two of the young victims and the adult are now in a life-threatening condition at a nearby hospital.

Witnesses said the knifeman had begun attacking the preschool children while they were playing at a small playground in a scene of utter 'carnage'. They said he had launched his onslaught on the toddlers because they were 'easy targets'.

PoliticsRe: Ekweremadus: Those people can kill me, I want to remain in the UK - Nwamini by TobiAbuja: 9:58am On May 06, 2023
Och77:
SOME LITTLE DETAILS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IN THE EKWEREMADU CASE.

David Ukpo Nwamini is the 21-year-old Lagos street hawker who was to give his kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter IN London. When he was interviewed at the hospital in London, they asked him if he knew he was to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu.

He first told them that he had no money to donate. They explained to him that it was his kidney that he was to donate. He asked them what was kidney.

Initially, the doctors thought it was a question of language, since David’s English was not good enough. However, they eventually understood that David did not know which human organ was called kidney.

In other words, he did not know what organ he was to give Sonia. That led the doctors to conclude that the procedure was not well-explained to David and that is the number one requirement by law.

According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure and all the health risks associated with the procedure. It is only then that the donor is taken to have informedly consented.
When the doctors found that David did not understand what he was about to get involved in, they declared him a mismatch.

The term “mismatch” is a technical generic language to indicate that the proposed organ harvesting has not met all the requirements.

Many in Nigeria have misunderstood the term “mismatch” in this case to meant that David’s kidney was not suitable for Sonia.

No! There was nothing wrong with David’s Kidney.

To donate an organ, the facts must match both the law and the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts did not match the legal requirement.

So, it was declared a mismatch. To help you understand it better, the term “mismatch” means there is a discrepancy.

The doctors who interviewed David did not and could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors did not have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then.

They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor and his decisions and whether he had made up his mind.

For instance, the doctors did not get involved in how David was brought to them or whether he was paid. It was not their duty to deal with that. It was actually when Ekweremadu and Dr. Obinna attempted to return David to Nigeria that the problem started.

David expected that he would be given a job in London as he was told before he left Nigeria. They did not give him job and they did not send him to school. Instead of all he was promised, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria and David ran away from the house where he was kept.

As hunger wired him, he reported himself to the police. To win the immediate protection of the police, he lied about his age by telling them he was 15.

It was when he was interviewed by the police that the information came out which established that a crime was committed. For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and pocketed the rest.

In fact, Ekweremadu tried to keep himself away from certain details of the deal. That was why Ekweremadu never discussed money with David. In fact, he did not deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5 million went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocketed most of the money.

However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behavior of a big man who knew that he is getting involved in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him and the crime, yet he will be funding the crime from afar.

Otherwise, how come you never wanted to meet the boy that is giving his kidney to your daughter and whom you called cousin to your daughter (which actually makes him your nephew)? Rather than see the non-direct dealing as evidence of his innocence, it was seen as deliberate or willful ignorance aimed at evading legal responsibility.

One of the key factors that worked against Ekweremadu was that he lied. On three official documents he signed, he stated that David was Sonia’s cousin. But in all the WhatsApp chats he had with the doctor and his own brother over the matter, he referred to David as “that guy”. Hence the question: “You knew he was not Sonia’s cousin. While you signed that he was her cousin, when you wanted to say the truth, you referred to him as “that guy”, meaning you didn’t know him or even remember his name”. Ekweremadu admitted in court that he lied and apologized.

NOTE: I decided to provide these details because I have read somewhere it was being said that David misled Ekweremadu and took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He did not manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.
