As a new week dawns here in #Outsiders, our team has been on the "prowl" as we've been witness yet again to another horrific week. The wars in Syria, Libya and Iraq are continuing with no end in sight. As part of our on-going assessment, one very disturbing program we saw was a BBC Documentary titled, "Civilization Under Attack". What was striking was how one described the destruction of what Daesh/IS is doing to the 4500 archaeological sites as "rape". It was a tough program to watch--and yes our team was ever so on board on how the foresight by Europeans have helped to preserve our heritage. They talked about how Daesh can make $ 250,000 on a small cylinder. It must be watched by all by clicking here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0615mxc
What we also was witness to was the horrific attack in Jersuelaum at the Gay Pride Parade. One of the victims, 16-year old Shira Banki, died of her wounds:
This was also as earlier in the week Al Monitor documented a disturbing trend on how The Israeli Security Cabinet came out in opposition to the deal without even having read the deal and without apparently even consulting the security establishment:
As we went to press, we saw reports that Amal Clooney has filed motions to vacate the death sentence against Saif Gaddafi, the Son of the late Libyan leader Qaddafi. With the current chaos in Libya, one wonders where this will all lead, '
It is bound to be another interesting and challenging week.

We made a decision not to name her assailiant because he is not worth the mention. It was welcome news as the Israeli Prime Minister promised prosecution to the full extent of the law. Not withstanding the indiginations, what Amir Oren of @Haaretz noted and our team released to the Daily Outsider twitter feed late on Sunday underscored the broad problems that the Israeli Prime Minister has to contend with:
A very tough read-wonder if @GOP will have the courage to read this #Netanyahu needn't worry #Iran is already here http://t.co/EzDnmhVwn7

A view of the wk that's quite tough #Netanyahu the autocrat - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East http://t.co/gURb7HlQ8q

The struggle over the #IranDeal will gather pace though as The Israeli Prime Minister is about to make a speech to American Jewish supporters and the President making a major speech on Wednesday. This is also as the Obama Adminstration will not contest the Parole of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard--although he is not able to leave the United States for five years:
An interesting twist in the #Vote4Peace quest as U.S. preparing to release Israeli spy #Pollard' http://t.co/NJxvIG8zrF
