Awake Goy The southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep has become a hub for selling antiques and artifacts stolen by the Daesh terrorist group from Syria, says Russia’s permanent UN ambassador.
Daesh’s annual illegal income from the sales of stolen historical relics reaches nearly 200 million dollars, Vitaly Churkin said in a letter presented to the UN on Wednesday.
He stressed that most of the artifacts are sold on the black market after being smuggled into Turkey from Syria. “Those pieces of antiques are sold through auctions illegally on websites and through local markets,” Churkin added.
Thousands of internationally recognized archaeological sites are still held by the Takfiri terrorists, nine of which are present in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List, he noted.
In the letter, Churkin added that some of relics are being sold in newly opened shops on the Turkish-Syrian border or being transported to Izmir, Mersin, and Antalya where forged documents are obtained to hide their illegal origins.
This is not the first time Turkey has been implicated in the sales of looted historical artifacts. According to documents recently revealed by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), Daesh is widely engaged in the act of smuggling artifacts into Turkey.
After entering a tunnel abandoned by Daesh in the Syrian province of Hasakah, Kurdish forces found archeological relics along with a letter addressed to Takfiri border sentries.

Washington seems to agree with Russia that the Syrian people should decide whether President Bashar Assad remains in power. During a briefing, US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said it is up to the Syrian people to decide the future government.
Russia has been pushing the notion for years that the only people who should decide President Assad’s future are the Syrian people themselves. Now it seems as if Washington may have changed its tune, having originally been unwilling to accept any idea of Assad staying in power, regardless of the wishes of the Syrian population.
“We believe that a political process that reflects the desires and will of the Syrian people is what should ultimately decide the future leadership and the future government of Syria,” Toner said during a briefing on Monday.
He also agreed that there has been an increased amount of cooperation between Washington and Moscow regarding Syria.

Jewish and Arab MKs resoundly condemn Bayit Yehudi MK Betzalel Smotrich for racist remarks; Israeli commentator Ben Caspit says Smotrich and his supporters are akin to ‘Judeo-Nazis.’ A far-right Israeli politician has been admonished by his party and roundly condemned by commentators after suggesting Jewish and Arab women should be separated in maternity wards.
Betzalel Smotrich, a 36-year-old member of Knesset (MK) from the Bayit Yehudi party, which is part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, is an ultra-nationalist settler who is frequently outspoken on issues of religion and the Palestinians.

(JTA) — The Labour Party candidate in London’s mayoral race, a Muslim, said he is “embarrassed” and “sorrowful” about his party’s failure to take on anti-Semitism.
Sadiq Khan, who is of Pakistani descent, said Tuesday in a speech at a London Jewish community center that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn needs to be “trained about what anti-Semitism is,” Newsweek reported.
Labour has come under increasing attack for its perceived tolerance of members who make anti-Semitic remarks. In an Op-Ed in The Telegraph last Friday headlined “Labour has a serious anti-Semitism problem,” Board of Deputies of British Jews President Jonathan Arkush criticized Corbyn for failing to address adequately the issue.

Rappers, entrepreneurs, actors and Monica Lewinsky: Welcome to the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Israel.
Held in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv this week, the Under 30 Summit is the financial magazine’s inaugural international gathering of up-and-coming millennials. The conference spanned food tastings, tours of Tel Aviv’s hi-tech sector and Jerusalem’s historical sites, panels of hi-tech CEOs and social activists, volunteering events and, of course, an interview with President Shimon Peres.
Despite being more than six decades above the conference’s supposed age limit, Peres fit right in. In tone and content, the gathering was less like the defense and diplomacy confabs that dot Israel’s calendar, and more like the President’s Conference that Peres hosted every year of his tenure as Israel’s head of state. Like the President’s Conference, the summit was an energetic, lighthearted gathering of impressive people from a range of fields, all talking about innovation.
Most of the speakers were young movers and shakers. One speaker, Jessica Matthews, has created soccer balls that can power lights by harnessing the kinetic energy of a game. Another, Okieriete Onaodowan, appeared as James Madison in the Broadway musical “Hamilton.”
