Jewish-American charged with killing Palestinians

JERUSALEM — A Jewish-American extremist has been charged with shooting to death two Palestinians and trying to kill others with explosive devices and poison.

According to an indictment filed in Jerusalem district court on Thursday, Jack Teitel set out to avenge the deaths of Israelis killed in Palestinian terror attacks.

Teitel is a 37-year-old ultra-Orthodox Jewish West Bank settler originally from Florida.

Israeli newspaper Web sites quoted him as telling the court that “it was a pleasure and an honor to serve my God.”

He was arrested five weeks ago.

The indictment says his rampage began in 1997. He was also accused of anti-gay violence and incitement as well as bombings against a peace activist and messianic Jews who believe in Jesus.

MacFarlane’s Not-So-Funny Jew Joke

The animated sitcom “Family Guy” isn’t exactly high art. The Sunday night, 30-minute program, which airs on the Fox television network, is filled with off-color jokes. Nonetheless, many fans were disappointed when the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, took things to a new extreme November 8 during a variety special titled “‘Family Guy’ Presents: Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show.”

In the special, part of a Fox night of programming celebrating MacFarlane with multiple “Family Guy” episodes, the screenwriter’s Jewish co-star, Alex Borstein, (who, like MacFarlane, voices a character on the animated series), protests his singing “Edelweiss” from “The Sound of Music,” a tribute to Austria. MacFarlane tells Borstein that the television show is not the place to bring out her “Hebrew baggage.” Still arguing, Borstein reveals that her mother and grandmother “barely escaped” the Nazis. In response, MacFarlane implies that if World War II were never to have occurred, Borstein would have more competition in Hollywood from Jewish female comedians. “Right now, it’s just you and Sarah Silverman,” he says. Defeated, Borstein joins MacFarlane in song.

The variety show included a bit that mocks Jewish actress Marlee Matlin, who is deaf. When asked if she found the show’s controversial jokes offensive, Matlin told EW.com: “Offensive. No. Sick, very. But that’s Seth and Alex. Humor comes in all forms and everyone has their cup of tea about what makes them laugh.”

Questions regarding MacFarlane’s humor about Jews have long circulated. In 2000, he penned a “Family Guy” episode titled “Once Upon a Weinstein.” The show’s Catholic protagonist, Peter, happens upon a Jewish man, and the encounter leads him to conclude that converting his dim-witted son, Chris, to Judaism will increase the boy’s intelligence. Father and son race off to Las Vegas for an instant bar mitzvah, prevented only by the family matriarch, Lois. Due to its controversial content, the episode did not air for several years.

In October, the Forward reported that Fox took flack for airing an episode titled “Family Goy,” in which Lois discovers her mother is Jewish. The episode was laden with stereotypes.

Powerless Danish government calls for help on gang war

COPENHAGEN — Picturesque Copenhagen, renowned for its fairytale palaces and Little Mermaid, has for more than a year been the scene of a full-blown gang war that the government admits it is powerless to end.

Daily police patrols, raids and harsher sentences for gang-related crimes have failed to quell the wave of drive-by shootings, execution-style killings, and grenade attacks that have rocked the Danish capital and its suburbs since August 2008.

Although Denmark is no stranger to gang wars after dealing with clashes between rival biker gangs Hells Angels and Bandidos in the 1990s, this upsurge of violence — pitting biker gangs against youths of immigrant origin — has spiralled out of the authorities’ control.

“I am asking everyone for help and good advice,” Justice Minister Brian Mikkelsen implored, taking directly to citizens his plea for ideas to bring a halt to the bloody conflict.

Copenhagen’s spiral of violence started in August 2008 when an armed man of Turkish origin was executed on the street, his body riddled with 25 bullets by a member of Hells Angels spin-off AK81.

At times played out in broad daylight, the conflict has claimed seven lives and wounded 60 people since then, some of the dead and wounded being innocent bystanders.

In October alone, nine attacks shook the ordinarily calm, seaside capital, including its posh and residential areas.

Authorities say the conflict originally stemmed from the desire to control territory for the sale of both hard and soft drugs but that it is increasingly fuelled by vengeance, with each clan avenging its own losses.

This war is much deadlier than the 1990s biker feuds, and Mikkelsen said it “could only be stopped by society.”

More than 300 Danes have sent tips on how to stop the conflict to Mikkelsen by email, the minister said, while even the United States has offered help.

“We have some expertise in the area of gangs … And if we can offer some assistance or training that would be beneficial, we would be happy to do that,” US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told reporters after talks with Mikkelsen in Copenhagen.

The minister announced a series of meetings where his country, a normally peaceful country of 5.5 million inhabitants, hopes to learn from the United States how to deal with urban violence.

So far, Mikkelsen’s hardline anti-gang plan seems nowhere near putting an end to the bloodshed.

“We cannot control this absurd and infernal cycle of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” chief police inspector Per Larsen admitted.

He says it is a “miracle” that the conflict has not claimed more victims, but insists that police have not surrendered and that Copenhagen still “isn’t Chicago in the 1930s.”

But a Gallup poll has suggested more than eight of 10 people in Denmark do not believe police will be able to stop the conflict, with many Danes, consistently ranked among the happiest people on earth, fearing for their own safety.

“Those gangs should face-off and kill each other once and for all so we can finally live in peace,” says Inger, a woman in her 70s.

A founding Hells Angels member was injured by two youths of immigrant origin in an attack in broad daylight in the suburb where she lives.

“The Hells will avenge the attack, and the spiral of violence will continue,” said Yavuz Ilmaz, a 28-year-old Dane of Turkish descent, of the incident.

Despite the authorities’ best intentions and promises, Ilmaz judged “insane” how easy it was to obtain illegal weapons in Copenhagen, and suggested stronger measures to stop the gang war.

“Putting cameras up everywhere like in London and legalising hash like in the Netherlands” could halt the drug trade and the violence, giving Copenhagen a chance to return to calm, Ilmaz proposed.

Gang rape witness feels no guilt

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11 (UPI) — One teenager who witnessed the gang rape of a 15-year-old San Francisco area girl told ABC he doesn’t feel accountable for what happened.

The two-hour gang rape happened last month outside the girl’s Richmond High School homecoming dance. Police said 10 males were suspected of taking part in the gang rape, while 20 others watched and did nothing, and some took photographs on their cell phones.

Police have arrested and charged six men, ranging in age from 15 to 21, in the Oct. 24 rape.

The unidentified 16-year-old witness told ABC’s KGO-TV, San Francisco, “I feel like I could have done something, but I don’t feel like I have any responsibility for anything that happened.”

Two other witnesses told KGO they didn’t call police because they didn’t want to be called snitches.

Salvador Rodriguez, initially arrested in the gang rape but later released for insufficient evidence, said he saw “crazy things” the night of the attack.

“They were kicking her in her head and they were beating her up,” he told KGO, “robbing her and ripping her clothes off. It’s something you can’t get out your mind.”

ABC said the victim is recovering at home. She is described by friends as a devout Christian who attended church three times a week and had been looking forward to the homecoming dance for weeks.

Civil rights marker vandalized again

The Neshoba County highway marker memorializing the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers by the Ku Klux Klan again has been vandalized, this time with the letters “KKK” spray-painted across the sign on Mississippi 19.

The previous marker – a repeated target of vandals – was removed in March after it was entirely painted black. Officials erected the new sign in September.

“I had high hopes it wouldn’t get vandalized, but we live in an imperfect world and things like this happen,” Neshoba County Supervisor Obbie Riley said.

Officials took the sign down and were able to remove the paint before putting it back up.

“We restored the sign, and we’ll continue to do what’s right,” Riley said. “The few that have ill feelings will come to grips that this is not a thumb in the eye of the public, but a rightful recognition of those who sacrificed so much.”

The sign memorializes the June 21, 1964, deaths of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, whose slayings helped fuel the civil rights movement in Mississippi and across the nation.

In 2005, a Neshoba County jury convicted Edgar Ray Killen for orchestrating the trio’s slayings. He is the only person to be tried on state charges for the crime. Four suspects among 19 indicted in 1967 on federal conspiracy charges in the case are still alive.

The same year Killen was convicted, state lawmakers named a 23-mile portion of Mississippi 19 the “Chaney-Goodman-Schwerner Memorial Highway” after the three young men.

They also named a 32-mile stretch of U.S. 49 East in memory of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American from Chicago who was beaten and shot to death in 1955 after he allegedly whistled at a white woman in Money in Tallahatchie County. Signs for the Emmett Till highway also repeatedly have been vandalized.

The Philadelphia Coalition pushed for Killen’s prosecution and suggested the creation of the sign, which is located a mile north of House – not far from the place where the trio were killed on Rock Cut Road.

“I am not surprised for ignorance will always be around,” coalition member Fent DeWeese said of the vandalism. “No matter what is done to the sign, it has absolutely no impact on the progress we have made. In fact, I believe it strengthens our resolve and reminds us there is still much to do. They can deface physical objects that can easily be replaced but cannot taint what we have in our hearts.”

Susan Glisson, executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi, said the fact “these incidents continue to be done covertly in the night lets you know there’s not a larger community acceptance for what they’re doing. In a sense, it’s positive that they feel like they can’t come out in the light of day. But it also shows that sentiment does exist, even if it is youthful ignorance.”

She is hopeful attitudes will continue to change. To that end, Mississippi public schools are preparing this spring to teach U.S. history with a deeper emphasis on civil rights history that’s part of a new program integrated by the institute. That course is instructing Mississippi 11th-graders on civil rights and human rights history, Glisson said. “Twenty-seven school districts have volunteered to pilot the program.”

Police: Man made up knife attack to miss work

EDGEWATER, Colo. — Police in the Denver suburb of Edgewater say a man stabbed himself, then said he was attacked by three men dressed in black who were either Hispanic or skinheads, in a ploy to miss work.

Twenty-nine-year-old Aaron Siebers was arrested after police say he admitted making up the assault and said he was responsible for the knife wound to his leg and other superficial cuts on his body. He faces charges of false reporting and obstructing a police officer.

Police say Siebers reported the attack Monday to the video store where he works. The reported assault drew five police agencies to the scene, along with K-9 units.

Police spokesman Steve Davis says Siebers admitted the story was a lie after repeated questioning from detectives.
