What do pedophiles and cynics suggest? Dr.. Ali Mohammed Fakhro

What do pedophiles and cynics suggest? Dr.. Ali Mohammed Fakhro Mar 01, 2018 Some can not be blamed for disappointment and despair in the face of the tragic and tragic situation of the Arab homeland. We understand when those disappointments lead to the desire to retire from their lives and to retreat into the shell of private life. Disasters and setbacks are many, and pain is unbearable, and the sense of loss of effort and of the sacrifices they have made throughout their lives for the public good generates feelings of vengeance and desire for revenge. The result is the coup of these intellectuals and activists committed to the issues of their nation to the cynics and cynics mocking all the slogan and thought and practice, clinging to the captains of the embers, and insisting that they die only standing with their heads and head. But is it really true that reaching that state of despair and feeling that parties, governments and armies have failed them calls for disbelief

UN Finds that North Korea Has Been Shipping Chemical Weapon Supplies to Syria

by   TheTower.org Staff  |  02.28.18 12:17 pm North Korea has been shipping supplies to Syria that could be used to produce chemical weapons, a United Nations expert panel has found. The New York Times   reported  on Tuesday that North Korea had sent acid-resistant tiles, valves and thermometers to Syria. The information was revealed in a leaked report on North Korea authored by a group of experts at the UN. North Korean scientists visited Syria in 2016 and 2017, after the chemical weapons supplies had been sent to the war-torn country. The technicians stayed at military facilities controlled by the regime of Bashar al-Assad and, according to the report, the missile experts may still be operating in Barzeh, Adra and Hama. The illicit shipments are part of a steady stream of weapons-related sales by North Korea to Syria and to the Syrian regime’s patron, Iran, estimated by some experts to be worth several billion dollars a year. The details come just days after activis

Israeli Physicist Leads International Effort to Build a Quantum Computer

by   ISRAEL21c  |  02.28.18 8:12 am How can a desktop-sized computer outperform today’s massive supercomputers? If it’s run according to the principles of quantum physics. A new internationally funded project headed by an Israeli physicist from Bar-Ilan University’s Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials may provide just the quantum leap required. Bar-Ilan’s Beena Kalisky, whose lab develops highly sensitive sensors for measuring magnetic fields, is working with researchers in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden on the project (dubbed Quantox for “Quantum Technologies with 2D-Oxides”). The research is funded by QuantERA, a European fund comprised of 31 agencies from 26 countries; coordinated by the National Science Centre in Poland and the Israel Innovation Authority; and overseen by  BIRAD , the commercialization company of Bar-Ilan University. Quantum computers work by harnessing the power of atoms and molecules rather than silicon chips to

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman responded to the report saying: “There’s nothing new under the sun, and there is no need to treat all information in the media as absolute. We are listening and following the events. We will also act in the international realm to achieve everything possible.” Gen. Joseph L. Votel, Head of the U.S. Central Command, told a House Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday that Iran was “increasing” the number and “quality” of its ballistic missiles it was deploying to the region. He said Iran has “enhanced” its funding to proxy forces in the Middle East since the landmark nuclear agreement in July 2015, inclu

Critics Blast UN for Giving Iran’s Justice Minister a Platform at Human Rights Council

Protesters gathered outside as Iran’s Justice Minister Alireza Avaei, who is under a European Union travel ban for human rights violations, spoke before the United Nations Human Rights Council,  The New York Times   reported  Tuesday. Avaei, who, like his predecessor, Mustafa Pour-Mohammadi, played a role in thousands of summary executions in the 1980s, was  sanctioned  in 2011 by the European Union for “arbitrary arrests, denials of prisoners’ rights and increase of executions” during the time he served as President of Tehran Judiciary. He was able to attend the council’s opening session because Switzerland is not a member state of the EU. A protest organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) had about a hundred people outside the council’s building. One of the protesters  told  VOA News that Avaei was one of those responsible for carrying out the mass killings of political prisoners in 1988 at the behest of Iran’s Supreme Leader at the time, Ayatollah A
