Sweden: Teacher Fired for Threatening Posts on Tiktok
Threats directed at Sweden and the schoolchildren by a substitute teacher
About two weeks ago, a secondary school in the Gothenburg area of Sweden fired a substitute teacher after one of her Tiktok videos showed her threatening to destroy Swedn including the children at her school.
Apparently, it was school pupils themselves who discovered that the unidentified teacher was making threats against Sweden and the school on her Tiktok account. The video showed the female teacher, wearing a hijab, saying she and others would return to their home country after destroying Sweden. She also said she wished that Swedish children and those Swedes who voted for the Sweden Democrat (SD) and Liberal (L) parties would suffer the same fate as Palestinians.
The below article from Expressen (Sweden) dated November 8 is translated by Fousesquawk. We are also in the process of translating a video clip of some of the teacher's comments that appeared in a Norwegian news source (Dokument.no) on November 18 (with Swedish subtitles).
Investigating threat against school in Gothenburg-Substitute fired after Tiktok posting

When pupils discovered that a substitute teacher posted on Tiktok with "strong threats" she was fired from the private school in Gothenburg.
The substitute was reported to the police, and on Friday, police were on the scene at the school.
"It's awfully nasty," says one parent.
On Monday of last week, a substitute teacher was fired from her job at Ebba Pettersson School in Gothenburg after pupils discovered the teacher's Tiktok account.
"To all of you who voted for the disgusting Swedish government, and especially SD (Sweden Democrat) and L (Liberal), I wish that your children and grandchildren suffer worse than the Palestinians," the substitute wrote among other things in a posting.
"It has come to our attention in the past weeks that the person has a Tiktok account where she expressed very strong views regarding Sweden's democracy and basic law. Even more, it was directed against a certain (ethnic) group of people," says principal Ulrika Kragner.
Threatened school
"After that, this person laid out a direct threat against Ebba Pettersson School," says Principal Ulrika Kragner.
On Friday, the principal considered the situation so threatening that she contacted the police. On Friday a police patrol was at the scene.
"During the morning, there was a school in West Frölunda that notified us as to a possible unlawful threat. So we went there, and after talking with school administrators, we filed a report on unlawful threats. At this time there is no suspect in the case," says Jens Andersson, spokesperson for Police Region West.
School: "Serious threat directed at (ethnic) groups".
On Friday, guardians at the school received several messages from school administrators.
"Last week, a substitute teacher at the junior high school was terminated. The reason was that the teacher expressed several strong views on Tiktok. The teacher also directed serious threats against (ethnic) groups of people. This means that we have an increased security risk against our school with threats now also directed to the school," they write in one of these (messages) and add that they are (implementing) all security measures recommended by police.
One parent at the school says that there is great concern.
"This is disgusting, and we are in panic as parents. What kind of consequences are there for the school and how safe are our children? These are the questions I ask myself," says the parent.
The pupils and guardians who wanted were able to leave school earlier on Friday.
"There were many pupils who chose to do so. 80-90% had already gone home for lunch," says Ultika Kragner.

Four Students Charged in Univ. of Rochester "Wanted Poster" Case
Earlier this month, the University of Rochester awoke to find wanted posters all over campus walls referring to Jewish faculty who, according to the poster children, were guilty of supporting Israeli war crimes- or some such rot. The university condemned the action and launched an investigation.
It appears the investigation is bearing fruit. Four persons are now facing felony charges, and a 5th is still considered a person of interest. The four students have pled not guilty.
Legal Insurrection has the report here. The names of the four students are included in a link from Rochester First.
It appears the campus newspaper, Campus Times, has yet to report this update. That is understandable if it is published weekly. I'll check for updates.

Standing up to Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP)
Subsequent to the horrific attacks by Hamas upon Jewish civilians in Israel on October 7, 2023, US campuses exploded in support, not of Israel, which has suffered the most hideous and catastrophic attack upon the Jewish people since the Holocaust, but in support of Hamas. Naturally, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a despicable, anti-Semitic organization, which for years, has engaged in tactics of disruption, bullying, and intimidation on college campuses in the name of attacking the Jewish state of Israel.
As SJP took the lead in setting up obnoxious encampments on university campuses across the nation this year, at last, several university administrators got up off their duffs and called in the police to break them up and restore order and safety, especially for Jewish students.
During all this mess that we observed here in the US earlier this year, a bunch of university professors across the nation established campus chapters of Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP) to support SJP and pressure their schools to join the BDS movement against Israel (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) including boycotts of Israel universities and the cutting off of joint projects and exchanges with Israeli universities. This would also shut down student exchange programs with Israeli universities.
Let me be clear: Like SJP, FJP is made up of Jew-haters and misfits (including misfit Jews) who detest not only Israel but America and Western civilization in general. In a way, they are worse than SJP in that they are older than SJP members and supposedly wiser. Yet they are the very ones egging on the SJP brownshirts. They and their leftist brethren in academia have literally corrupted the culture of American universities.
The AMCHA Initiative is a California-based organization dedicated to exposing and combatting campus anti-Semitism. I am proud to call them my friends and colleagues. I highly recommend you visit their website and follow what they do. For example, they have an extensive database of anti-Semitic incidents on university campuses over the past several years. They also collaborate with other organizations to put pressure on universities to protect their Jewish students. This week, they have put out a press release announcing their program to stand up to FJP. I am cross-posting it here. It includes two videos which I encourage you to watch. (They are both under 3 minutes in length.)
The press release can be accessed here.
Austria: Police Seek Public Help Finding Chechen Knife Attackers
Like many other Western European countries, Austria is plagued by gang warfare and other crimes involving so-called Chechen "refugees", largely military-age young men. Back in 2016, we reported on the problem of gang warfare in Austria between Chechens and Afghans.
Back in July of this year, a group of young Afghan males was attacked by a gang of young males later identified as Chechens at the train station in Meidling (Vienna). The victims were chased and attacked with knives, brass knuckles, and other objects. Three Afghans received stab wounds and one other a serious head injury.
Since then, some of the attackers have been identified, and this week, police released images of several suspects still unidentified in the attacks to the public asking for help. The below article from Heute (Austria) is translated by Fousesquawk. The lead photo can be expanded to show individual closeups of the suspects.
So I guess that the war between the Chechens and Afghans continues. As for these mopes, who knows? They could already be in the US by now!
Attack at Meidling train station
Gang war in Vienna- New photos of the suspects
After the bloody battle at the Meidling train station in the summer, the Vienna police have published new photos of the brutal young suspects.
-By Newsdesk Heute
November 18, 2024
Caption: These unidentified young men are being sought by Vienna police since the bloody gang war at the Meidling train station in the summer of 2024.
July 7, 2024 at 9:20 pm. Screams, blood, then flashing blue lights at the Meidlin train station. Young Chechens, some of them still unidentified, surprised their victims from Afghanistan (15, 18, 23 years of age). During a chase, they caught them at different locations and attacked them with knives, hammers, telescopic (expandable) batons, and brass knuckles.
When the first blue lights (police) appeared on the horizon after a short time, the suspects quickly fled. The WEGA* was there in 39 seconds, thereby preventing the worst. The bloody result of the alleged gang war, several were seriously injured! Three victims suffered stab wounds and another a serious head injury.
On August 4, through examination and publication of photo material, some of the suspects were successfully identified. This morning, Monday, 18 November, follows another group of photos (see photo gallery above) of other, still unidentified alleged participants.
Witnesses who know the identities of the suspects are asked to contact the police. Tips are requested (also anonymous) by the Vienna State Police at telephone number 01-31310-33800.
*Translator's note: WEGA is a special operations police unit in Vienna under the Vienna State Police.

Netherlands: Blunt Words for the Dutch Muslim Community
Ronald Plasterk is a Dutch scientist and retired politician (Labour Party). In the wake of the recent anti-Jewish riots in Amsterdam, he has written an op-ed in the Dutch daily, De Telegraaf, in which he bluntly advises the Dutch Muslim community to emulate the successes of the Jewish community instead of attacking it. The above op-ed in the De Telegraaf is subject to a subscriber block, but his words have drawn praise from the conservative Dutch news outlet, Dageljkse Standaard. That article is translated by Fousesquawk.
Ronald Plasterk: "Dutch Muslims should follow the example of the Jewish community!"
Opinion-15 November at 16:00
What a relief it would have been if Ronald Plasterk, with his clear view of society, had become the minister-president of this cabinet. In his recent column in De Teklegraaf, Plasterk puts his finger right on the sore spot. He states that Dutch Muslims would be better off following the example of Jewish society. And to be honest, who can be against that? Plasterk at least dares to tell it like it is.
In a world where anti-semitism, unfortunately, is flaring up again, Plasterk points out an uncomfortable truth: There seems to be a form of jealousy at play. Jews form only 0.2% of the world's population but are responsible for an overwhelming 20% of the Nobel prizes in the exact sciences. That is no accident, it is the result of hard work and dedication. And that is precisely what Plasterk points out to Muslims: Work hard, be proud of your roots, and follow the example of the success stories of the Jewish community.
Plasterk makes short work of the victimhood that is currently so often embraced. He advises Dutch Muslims to focus less on the endless discussions about Gaza, Hamas, and Hezbollah. It is time to look beyond the eternal role of victim. As Plasterk correctly notes, the Dutch media are often pro-Gaza and anti-Israel, but this same "good community" will not choose the side of Hamas and Hezbollah if it involves the destruction of Israel.
It would be much more sensible to learn from the Jewish society. Arabs and Jews belong to the same stock, as Plasterk makes clear in a conversation with Professor Peter de Knijff, professor of Anthropogeny at the University of Leiden. They are two societies that are genetically and culturally closer to each other than one might think. And still, there is a world of difference in approach. While the Jewish community is proud of its achievements and contributions to science, parts of the Muslim community engage in destructive rhetoric.
Frankly, it is a shame that Plasterk doesn't get the chance to proclaim his sort of wisdom from the tower at NSC*. His call to Dutch Muslims to emulate the successes of the Jewish community is not only justified, but it is also a message that is desperately needed in this time of polarization and mutual distrust. Instead of endless complaints over alleged inequality, it is time to show your worth, just as the Jewish community has been doing for decades.

Italy: Students Across Italy Protest Meloni, the Government and Israel
Turin taken over by violent demonstrators and pro-Palestinians
"No Meloni Day"
Yesterday, thousands of students and young activists took to the streets of major Italian cities against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and other ministers, particularly the Minister of Education, Giuseppe Valditara. In addition to all that, the pro-Palestinians were out in force with their flags and keffiyas.
The worst violence occurred in Turin, where thousands pushed past police cordons, and occupied principal buildings in Turin, including the iconic Mole Antonelliana building, the symbol of the city. To add insult to injury, they took down the flags of Italy and the European Union and replaced them with a Palestinian flag.
Some 15-20 police officers were hospitalized when someone threw a rudimentary explosive device, and the officers were overcome with smoke and fumes.
We are working on translating a news video of the disgusting display of violence, particularly in Turin.
Belgium: Municipal Worker Fired for Defaming Graves in a Cemetery
Hat tip Francois DeSouche and Vlad Tepes
The mayor and municipal council of the municipality of Auderghem, Belgium have fired a municipal worker after he allegedly put up a video of himself walking through the local cemetery and insulting the dead there as "kuffirs" (unbelievers) and "people who stink".
The below article from the Belgian daily, 7 sur 7, is translated from French by Fousesquawk. It includes the video in question.
In addition, the French blog, Francois DeSouche, has the video with the individual's face clearly shown.
"Cemetery of Kuffirs": A municipal worker in Auderghem fired for having insulted the dead in a video.
A municipal worker in Auderghem has been fired for serious misconduct as a result of a video in which he is seen insulting the graves of the dead in a cemetery in the Brussels municipality, DH (news) reports.
-Editorial staff, November 15, 2024 at 12:37
"Cemetery of Kuffirs (Unbelievers), cemetery of (people who stink)", says, in particular, the man in work clothes in this video disseminated about 10 days ago by an X account claiming to be "a whistleblower against Islamism". The images provoked numerous indignant reactions on social media.
Calling the incident, "totally unacceptable", the mayor of Auderghem, Sophie de Vos (DeFI party), and her municipal council unanimously decided on Tuesday, November 12 to fire the individual for serious misconduct, effective immediately. A judicial procedure is also in progress since a complaint was filed by the municipality. The man has since been interviewed by police.

UC Berkeley Blames Trump Win on Racism
I am cross-posting a piece in Campus Reform regarding an article in the University of California at
Berkeley official news website, UC Berkeley News, in which a collection of UCB professors, you
know the type, claim that Trump's victory was mostly a result of white resentment and refusal to vote for a
black, South Asian woman for president (Kamala Harris). The article was hyperlinked in the Campus
Reform report and may also be accessed here.
What I find striking is that this is not the student newspaper, The Daily Californian, rather the official UCB
website for news. Where are the opposing viewpoints? So here you have the usual collection of academic,
leftwing misfits railing against Trump and those who voted for him (in this case, more than 50% of the
voters). This is so emblematic of how far our universities have sunk.

Netherlands: Geert Wilders Speaks out on Anti-Jewish Pogroms
Hat tip RAIR Foundation USA, Gates of Vienna, Vlad Tepes for subtitling. Translation of videos by Henk.
I am cross-posting an article from Gates of Vienna with two videos featuring remarks by Dutch politician Geert Wilders in the wake of last week's attacks on Israeli and Dutch Jews in Amsterdam at the hands of Muslims who reside in the Netherlands.
In the first video, Wilders tells reporters what he thinks needs to be done: Arrests, imprisonment, stripping of citizenship for offenders with dual nationality, and deportation.
In the second video, Wilders expresses his outrage over these anti-Jewish attacks. I feel it is important to help spread his remarks. He is spot on.
(Jewish) Wanted Posters at University of Rochester
Another incident of campus anti-Semitism has broken out, this time, at the University of Rochester where unidentified pro-Palestinian activists plastered wanted posters of numerous faculty on campus, most of whom, if not all, are reportedly Jewish. PJ Media has a report here.
In addition, the University of Rochester Campus Times is reporting the story here. Interestingly, their headline identifies the targets of the posters as "university affiliates".
I find it astounding that putting up posters of Jewish faculty members on campus who are perceived as pro-Israel can be dismissed as not being anti-Semitic. Of course, nobody is going to claim credit for this cowardly act, no doubt carried out in the dead of night, but the despicable Jewish Voice for Peace denies that it is anti-Semitic.
