Both Pompeo and Netanyahu criticized the lack of international support for the US demand for the restoration of UN sanctions against Iran. The Trump administration has been pushing at the UN Security Council to have so-called “snapback” sanctions imposed on Iran over what Washington says is Iran’s violation of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

Netanyahu said the agreement between Israel and the UAE was a “boon to peace and regional stability” and that there was a possibility other countries could follow suit.

White supremacist Richard Spencer has publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president , leading Trump supporters to wonder if the media will ask Biden to disavow Spencer as vociferously as they demanded Trump disavow David Duke .
Spencer was asked on Twitter if he was going to vote for Biden given his “ belief that Biden/Kamala will be tougher on crime/BLM than Trump.

“ He ’ s frequently seen giving Nazi salutes , quoting Nazi propaganda , and making openly anti-Semitic statements.
” Spencer was also a leading figure at the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville which was attended by neo-nazis .
Both the media and Biden have amplified the fake story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ very fine people , ” when in fact Trump specifically disavowed neo-nazis in the same breath .
“ Despite Trump ’ s crystalline clarity , the media instantly created their hoax , falsely proclaiming that Trump had called white supremacists “ fine people , ” writes Widburg .

” When Donald Trump was endorsed by David Duke in 2016 , the media never let it go , repeatedly asking Trump to disavow the former KKK leader .
Trump ’ s entire campaign then became dogged with the narrative that he was the candidate of choice for racists , white supremacists and neo-nazis .

The boy then tries to retrieve the hat as one of the women aims a kick which almost hits him.
Here are photos of the victims. Mother, Abbey and her son Riley. They were just waiting for a table at a restaurant across from the DNC convention when the attack happened.

The mother’s male partner or friend then tries to get the hat back, but the Biden supporter tries to punch him in the face.
The Biden supporter then throws the hat over a fence as the confrontation ends with a deluge of expletives as one of them Biden supporters screams “we will knock you the fuck out!” as the other once again tries to physically attack the mother.
The mother has filed an assault report with the Wilmington Delaware Police.

The UN ambassador further noted that Iran was discussing the Arak nuclear facility with its partners.
“If Iran fails to develop this part of the nuclear facility, it will return to its original design, which is an indigenous construction,” Iran Press quoted Takh Ravanchi as saying.

Yale University is studying the effectiveness of messages about vaccinating against CV to ensure maximum vaccine uptake (from an MD)
From Dr Mercola Story at-a-glance The U.S. government is planning to launch an “overwhelming” COVID-19 vaccine campaign come November, and many have suggested that mandatory vaccination of the entire global population will likely be necessary to get COVID-19 under control
It’s still unclear exactly when a vaccine will be available, but it could be as early as October, or as late as January 2021. Only half of Americans say they actually want the COVID-19 vaccine once it becomes available; 27% say they will “definitely” refuse and another 12% say they will “probably” refuse it
Yale University is studying the effectiveness of various messages about vaccinating against COVID-19 to ensure maximum vaccine uptake
The primary outcome measure is willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Secondary outcome measures include the participants’ confidence in the vaccine, their willingness to persuade others to get vaccinated, their fear of those who have not been vaccinated and the level of social judgment of those who choose not to vaccinate

jewworldorder--2020-08-27--Hezbollah carried out border shooting under peacekeepers’ noses, Israel tells UN

Israel ’ s envoy to the United Nations demanded on Wednesday that the world body crack down on its peacekeeping force in Lebanon and deliver meaningful action against Hezbollah following a Tuesday night exchange of fire between IDF forces and the terror group .
“ The last attack directed at IDF forces , together with Hezbollah ’ s strengthening and its activities in south Lebanon , raise the chances of escalation on [ Israel ’ s ] northern border that could have terrible consequences for Lebanon and the entire region , ” Ambassador Gilad Erdan wrote in a letter to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ immediate steps ” be taken by the UN to urge the Lebanese government and international peacekeeping force UNIFIL to act , according to a statement to the press by the Israeli mission to the world body Thursday morning .
Get The Times of Israel ’ s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Erdan attached to his letter an aerial photo with Hezbollah ’ s estimated firing position marked out .
The Hezbollah force , according to Israel , was situated right in between two UN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closer one .
The photo “ shows UNIFIL ’ s powerlessness and the fact that it is not fulfilling its purpose , ” Israel ’ s UN mission said Thursday .
For its part , UNIFIL announced on Wednesday it was launching an investigation into the incident , just as the UN is set to vote on extending its peacekeeping mandate in southern Lebanon .
“ I have launched an urgent investigation and I call on both parties to fully cooperate with UNIFIL to help determine the facts , ” UNIFIL commander Maj. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statement .
According to the IDF ’ s initial investigation of the incident , at 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday Hezbollah snipers fired two shots from a small arms weapon at IDF combat intelligence troops operating near the Israeli community of Manara near the Lebanese border .
The shots , fired from 200-300 meters ( 660-990 feet ) away , missed their target , hitting a nearby object .
In response to the Hezbollah attack , Israeli artillery fired a number of flares and smoke shells into the air as troops searched the area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while later , Israeli aircraft bombed a number of Hezbollah observation posts near the frontier , the military said .
What appeared to be the first Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah targets inside Lebanon since the 2006 Second Lebanon War were meant to indicate to the terror group that the IDF would react more forcefully to attacks than it has until now , yet were not so aggressive that Hezbollah would be forced to retaliate and risk all-out war .
“ The situation along the Blue Line has since returned to calm and UNIFIL @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in coordination with the parties , ” according to UNIFIL .
Earlier Wednesday , Erdan submitted a request to the UN Security Council to strengthen UNIFIL ’ s mandate , allowing it to more effectively enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1701 , which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War and demanded all armed groups besides the Lebanese military remain north of the country ’ s Litani River .
Under its current mandate , UNIFIL is not able to enter private property without permission , which Erdan said makes the peacekeeping force “ neutered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensure Hezbollah is not building up arms and forces in private homes and land .
Israel and the US have been pushing for the Security Council to both cut the size of the peacekeeping force and bolster its ability to do its job , when a yearly extension of the UNIFIL mandate comes up for a vote at the Security Council on Friday .
The US had reportedly threatened to veto the mandate if changes , resisted by Lebanon and other Security Council members , were not adopted .
Tuesday night ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ border after Hezbollah last month swore revenge for the death of one of its fighters in an airstrike outside Damascus on July 20 that was widely attributed to Israel .
The Lebanese military said Israel launched 117 flare shells and about 100 shells , some of them explosive and the rest for smoke screens along the Lebanese border .
Some of the shells , as well as igniting fires in forests in the area , caused material damage to a house and a goat shed , according to the LAF .
The IDF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ southern Lebanon as flares and for smoke screens .
IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi visited the Northern Command on Wednesday to discuss the exchange of fire with Hezbollah , the military said .
“ The chief of staff was impressed by the operational and intelligence capabilities of the troops in the field and commended the troops level of readiness , ” the military said .
Tuesday night ’ s exchange was not the first incident along the Lebanese border after the death of the Hezbollah operative on July 20 .
On July @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an apparent Hezbollah sniper attack , driving the terrorist operatives back across the border before they could open fire at Israeli troops .
In the weeks that followed , the military also said it prevented at least one other infiltration and brought down a Hezbollah drone flown into Israeli territory from Lebanon .
After initially bracing for a retaliation by Hezbollah by deploying additional troops along the border , the IDF began scaling down its reinforcements following the massive explosion at the Beirut Port earlier this month .
The military believed that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Lebanese politics — would focus its energy on Lebanon ’ s domestic issues rather than carry seek to exact revenge on Israel , though Hezbollah maintained that its retaliation was still to come .
The Tuesday night clash also came exactly one year after the IDF killed two Hezbollah members in an airstrike on an Iran-controlled facility in Syria that the military said was used to launch attacks on Israel with explosives-laden drones .
In response to the deaths of the two Hezbollah operatives , the terror group conducted an anti-tank guided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week later .
One missile narrowly missed an IDF armored ambulance with five soldiers inside .

Israel’s envoy to the United Nations demanded on Wednesday that the world body crack down on its peacekeeping force in Lebanon and deliver meaningful action against Hezbollah following a Tuesday night exchange of fire between IDF forces and the terror group.
“The last attack directed at IDF forces, together with Hezbollah’s strengthening and its activities in south Lebanon, raise the chances of escalation on [Israel’s] northern border that could have terrible consequences for Lebanon and the entire region,” Ambassador Gilad Erdan wrote in a letter to the UN Security Council.
He demanded “immediate steps” be taken by the UN to urge the Lebanese government and international peacekeeping force UNIFIL to act, according to a statement to the press by the Israeli mission to the world body Thursday morning.

Erdan attached to his letter an aerial photo with Hezbollah’s estimated firing position marked out. The Hezbollah force, according to Israel, was situated right in between two UN posts, barely 110 yards from the closer one.
The photo “shows UNIFIL’s powerlessness and the fact that it is not fulfilling its purpose,” Israel’s UN mission said Thursday.

For its part, UNIFIL announced on Wednesday it was launching an investigation into the incident, just as the UN is set to vote on extending its peacekeeping mandate in southern Lebanon.
“I have launched an urgent investigation and I call on both parties to fully cooperate with UNIFIL to help determine the facts,” UNIFIL commander Maj. Gen. Stefano Del Col said in a statement.
According to the IDF’s initial investigation of the incident, at 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday Hezbollah snipers fired two shots from a small arms weapon at IDF combat intelligence troops operating near the Israeli community of Manara near the Lebanese border. The shots, fired from 200-300 meters (660-990 feet) away, missed their target, hitting a nearby object.
In response to the Hezbollah attack, Israeli artillery fired a number of flares and smoke shells into the air as troops searched the area for potential border breaches. A short while later, Israeli aircraft bombed a number of Hezbollah observation posts near the frontier, the military said.
What appeared to be the first Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah targets inside Lebanon since the 2006 Second Lebanon War were meant to indicate to the terror group that the IDF would react more forcefully to attacks than it has until now, yet were not so aggressive that Hezbollah would be forced to retaliate and risk all-out war.

“The situation along the Blue Line has since returned to calm and UNIFIL is maintaining continuous presence in the area in coordination with the parties,” according to UNIFIL.
Earlier Wednesday, Erdan submitted a request to the UN Security Council to strengthen UNIFIL’s mandate, allowing it to more effectively enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War and demanded all armed groups besides the Lebanese military remain north of the country’s Litani River.
Under its current mandate, UNIFIL is not able to enter private property without permission, which Erdan said makes the peacekeeping force “neutered” as it is not able to ensure Hezbollah is not building up arms and forces in private homes and land.
Israel and the US have been pushing for the Security Council to both cut the size of the peacekeeping force and bolster its ability to do its job, when a yearly extension of the UNIFIL mandate comes up for a vote at the Security Council on Friday. The US had reportedly threatened to veto the mandate if changes, resisted by Lebanon and other Security Council members, were not adopted.
Tuesday night’s exchange came amid lingering tensions along the border after Hezbollah last month swore revenge for the death of one of its fighters in an airstrike outside Damascus on July 20 that was widely attributed to Israel.
The Lebanese military said Israel launched 117 flare shells and about 100 shells, some of them explosive and the rest for smoke screens along the Lebanese border. Some of the shells, as well as igniting fires in forests in the area, caused material damage to a house and a goat shed, according to the LAF. The IDF acknowledged firing dozens of artillery shells into southern Lebanon as flares and for smoke screens.

IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi visited the Northern Command on Wednesday to discuss the exchange of fire with Hezbollah, the military said.
“The chief of staff was impressed by the operational and intelligence capabilities of the troops in the field and commended the troops level of readiness,” the military said.
Tuesday night’s exchange was not the first incident along the Lebanese border after the death of the Hezbollah operative on July 20.
On July 27, the IDF said it thwarted an apparent Hezbollah sniper attack, driving the terrorist operatives back across the border before they could open fire at Israeli troops. In the weeks that followed, the military also said it prevented at least one other infiltration and brought down a Hezbollah drone flown into Israeli territory from Lebanon.
After initially bracing for a retaliation by Hezbollah by deploying additional troops along the border, the IDF began scaling down its reinforcements following the massive explosion at the Beirut Port earlier this month. The military believed that the terror group — a major power broker in Lebanese politics — would focus its energy on Lebanon’s domestic issues rather than carry seek to exact revenge on Israel, though Hezbollah maintained that its retaliation was still to come.

The Tuesday night clash also came exactly one year after the IDF killed two Hezbollah members in an airstrike on an Iran-controlled facility in Syria that the military said was used to launch attacks on Israel with explosives-laden drones.
In response to the deaths of the two Hezbollah operatives, the terror group conducted an anti-tank guided missile attack on Israeli military targets a week later. One missile narrowly missed an IDF armored ambulance with five soldiers inside.
