92-Year-Old British Woman Knits 400 Sweaters for Needy Syrian Kids

The weather has been freezing in refugee camps housing Syrian families who have fled the bloodshed in their home country, adding just one more challenge to humanitarian organizations scrambling to help people lacking in both food and medical care.

Here’s one heartwarming story out of the crisis, though: Hand in Hand for Syria, a London-based charity focusing on bringing medical care and food to dying Syrians, reported the above donation. A 92-year-old woman identified as Doris from Swindon knitted 400 sweaters to send to Syrian children. Amazing.

Hand in Hand for Syria notes that, as it intends to deliver aid to help people help themselves, they are currently planning a textile workshop and opening a school to get local children back into education.

“We believe in delivering emergency relief in a sustainable way, such as by employing local staff so that they can support their own families, buying supplies in Syria to help the country’s economy, and providing training to local Syrian doctors equipping them to deal with the terrible injuries of war,” the group says in its mission statement. “…The conflict in Syria is rapidly developing into the worst humanitarian crisis we have seen this century.”

The PJ Tatler » Twitter Not Only Allows Terrorist Accounts, But Suggests Terrorists to Follow
▻http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/09/30/twitter-not-only-allows-terrorist-accounts-but-suggests-terrorists-to-follo

So when al-Qaeda announced it had launched its first official Twitter account, I, like other journalists who cover terrorism, hit the follow button. The @shomokhalislam account was suspended Sunday by Twitter after being allowed to remain open since Tuesday, posting nearly 50 tweets that included an attack on “the servants of worshipers of the cross” in a bombing that targeted staff of Pakistan’s interior minister in Peshawar.

On Saturday, I received one of those occasional emails from Twitter offering suggestions based on a recent follow — suggesting that I follow other terrorists:

The first suggested account, “Islam Workshop,” is connected to an al-Qaeda web forum to “rouse the believers” — shamikh1.info. On Saturday the feed posted a video removed by YouTube for violence, showing Qaeda- and Muslim Brotherhood-backed jihadists Ansar Beit al-Maqdes fighting Egyptian forces in the Sinai.

The second appears to be linked to the Al-Battar training camp, al-Qaeda’s program that has offered DIY as well as hands-on terrorist advice. These days Muaskar Al-Battar (Camp of the Sword) concentrates largely on bringing together groups with the same goal in a loosely connected network. The feed even has a nice camp photo as its backdrop, with more than a few Tsarnaev look-a-likes in the wooded hills:

The third suggested Twitter account appears linked to a Kurdistan-based affiliate of al-Qaeda.

The fourth claims to be “one of the foot soldiers” of Al-Shabaab, and posted several press photo from the Westgate attack while gloating about Shabaab’s gruesome accomplishments.

The last account, posing with the girl, is former Guantanamo Bay detainee Abdulaziz Sayer Owain al Shammari, who was arrested by Pakistan in 2001 and transferred to his home country Kuwait in 2005.

“Based on detainee’s deception history, it is assessed that he has received training on advanced counter-terrorism techniques, as well as above average terrorist training typically taught by Al-Qaida,” reads a 2004 Defense Department memo. “…Detainee is assessed to have connections to high-ranking Al-Qaida members.”

Twitter has said it can’t comment on users when asked to explain why terrorist accounts remain up. The only reason Al-Shabaab’s account fell a couple of times after the horrific Westgate attack was because of intense pressure from angry Twitter users in Africa and around the globe.

Michael Totten fait partie de ces « journalistes » qui, partout où ils se rendent, parviennent à ne s’intéresser qu’à une seule chose : ce que leur interlocuteur (ici le Premier ministre de l’Albanie) pense… d’Israël.

Berisha also said Albania, which is a member of NATO, would assist in military strikes against Iranian nuclear weapons facilities.

I met him briefly in Tirana a few years ago at a conference and was stunned to discover he’s as pro-Israel and he is pro-American. “Israel will accept an independent Palestinian state,” he said. “But Israel cannot accept the fundamentalists amongst Palestinians because their ideology is identical to that of the Nazis.”
