Below is an excerpt from the July 15th State Department Briefing regarding the attack in Nice.

QUESTION: On the same topic, I mean, while this horrible terrorist attack seems to have been conducted by a lone wolf – the term “lone wolf” and so on – all indications or all information show that the mosques in places like Nice and Marseille and Paris and others that are really funded and supported by many of your allies, mainly in the gulf – they basically sort of instigate that kind of rhetoric and so on. And my question to you that I’ve asked in the past as well: Why can’t the United States get its allies to commit to tone down that kind of rhetoric in these major mosques that really prey on the vulnerable and the weak, on the non-belonging and so on.

MS TRUDEAU: So I’ve – I guess I – sort of three-part answer to that, and hold me accountable for all three, okay. First one: This is not Islam. This is not Muslims. Let’s be very clear on that, and I don’t – I want to put that out point-blank. Whatever motivated this individual to do that attack, it’s not Islam.

“Price tag” attacks (property crimes and violent acts by extremist Jewish individuals and groups in retaliation for activity they deemed to be anti-settlement) expanded into Israel from the West Bank in
2013.

Help R' Chaim Safran's Family Move Back into Their Home

July 14 - before the attack,
France will not extend the state of emergency imposed after last year's Islamist militant attacks in Paris in November beyond 26 July, President Francois Hollande has announced.

The president said in his traditional Bastille Day interview that it would not make sense for the emergency to be extended indefinitely.

That would mean the rule of law "no longer applied", Mr Hollande said.

July 15 - after the attack,

In a press conference on Friday morning, Hollande said "the state of emergency was extended in the country for three months beyond July 26".

A few drops

Why Only a Few Drops of Water Came from the Rock

In March 2015, Hillary Clinton stated, "Third, after I left office, the State Department asked former secretaries of state for our assistance in providing copies of work-related emails from our personal accounts. I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related, which totaled roughly 55,000 printed pages..." You can view her speaking over here.

Is all work related emails were turned over, why was this question posed in yesterday's State Department briefing?

QUESTION: And the FBI is going to give them to you, the ones that they found that weren’t turned over, and the question was whether or not you guys are going to release those as you did with the original 55,000.

Other questions posed yesterday included the following:
QUESTION: Are you aware of the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York against Facebook for $1 billion allegedly for being a Hamas tool? Are you aware of that? Do you have any comment?

When asked about a report from the Hill committee on OneVoice referencing to the consulate general in Jerusalem deleting email that related to this grant, State Department Spokesperosn Mark Toner responded, " Michael Ratney was working, frankly, under State Department’s IT limitations – let me put it that way – with regard to the size of his in-box. And this is something that many of us have grappled with and continue to grapple with. And his deletion of any emails was simply – how do I put it – content-neutral housekeeping."

QUESTION: All right, okay. Then last one on Israel, and that is: I’m wondering if these comments by the guy who’s been named to be the chief rabbi of the IDF – he’s made some pretty controversial comments – have these hit your radar at all? Do you have anything to say about it?

I don't understand

House Hearing Highlights Palestinian Authority’s System of Financially Rewarding Terror

Israel approves contentious NGO foreign funding law - BreakingNews.com is a site that offers short headlines with links to breaking news. The site posted, "Israel approves contentious NGO foreign funding law, parliament says - AFP" - Did the Parliament really say that they passed a contentious law?

Emuna Daily lesson

The other day I posted about how the 13 Principles of the Rambam begins with the words "Ani Maamin- I believe" but nowhere does it say "I understand." A friend told me that the badchan, Yonasan Schwartz, sings (in Yiddish) about it and I found the words in the beginning of a clip featuring an album of his.
