- 25. May, 2011 “Israel Is Not Alone” member knocks phone out of my hand by Alison Weir / My Catbird Seat We had just completed a CNI press briefing at the National Press Club, when the next group scheduled to use the room, “Israel Is Not Alone,” began to enter. One of their members saw our signs and began a discussion with a member of the CNI group. The conversation was heated but within appropriate bounds. Another “Israel Is Not Alone” member, however, then approached the CNI man in a somewhat threatening posture and loudly began to berate him. At that point Lt. Col Karen Kwiatkowski, who had spoken on our panel, thought she recognized the man and he was asked his name. At first he only gave his first name, Jerry, but eventually also gave his last name: Boykin. Lt. Gen Boykin (three stars) is known for making offensive statements about Islam and supporting Israel.
For some reason, I actually thought I might be able to convince him to rethink his positions. I told him I had been born at We…
جعل الله ورسوله عليه الصلاة والسلام الوحدة قاعدة شرعية , يأثم من ينحرف عنها , و عندما توحد المسلمون فتحوا العالم وشادوا حضارة و عندما إنحرفوا عن خط الوحدة والتعاون فتحهم العالم و تبددت حضارتهم و أدوراهم ...

In November 2008, a Turkish man named Yilmaz Altun crashed to the floor of the airport in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. The 23-year-old had been waiting for a flight home when he collapsed. In checking on the ailing young man, authorities discovered a large fresh wound snaking down his abdomen. His left kidney was gone.
Altun told police he had donated the organ at a clinic called Medicus on the city’s outskirts. A broker in Istanbul had offered Altun a generous sum for the kidney. He would later recount lying in the same room as the man — a 74-year-old Israeli — who had paid about $145,000 for his organ, the Guardian reported in 2010. The two men, donor and recipient, locked eyes before the anesthetic kicked in. The young man’s collapse was the first domino to go in a complex investigation into an international organ black market operating out of the Balkan country. Despe…
