Shocking video shows thug sucker-punch woman on a street
in Sweden sparking fury

SHOCKING video showing a thug sucker-punch a woman on a street in Sweden has sparked outrage.
The footage went viral on social media over the weekend, and shows an assault reportedly carried out in the city of Malmo.
The clip shows a man stood on a quiet street as a woman approaches. The two don't appear to have interacted in the lead-up to the assault.
As the woman walks past, the man steps behind her and punches her across the right side of her head, knocking her to the ground.
The woman falls off the pavement and between two cars, and appears to fall briefly unconscious before sitting up clasping her head.
Her attacker runs away while another man behind the camera lets out hoots of laughter.
The assault is thought to have been carried out in the Rosengård district of Malmo, Sweden's third-largest city, though it is not known when.
Rosengård is home to many of Sweden's Muslim migrants, and, at times, is a No-Go zone. There is no proof as yet that these two yahoos were Muslim, but I would be willing to bet money on it.
According to RT: The Instagram account @ALIBALOTELLII is tagged in the video but has subsequently been deactivated.
Swedish media are calling the perpetrator, 'Ali'.
The perpetrator has not yet been identified, but unconfirmed reports in Swedish media say he is a 20-year-old male. Police in Malmo have not yet released any official statement on the footage.
Social media users reacted with outrage after the clip went viral.
"That is absolutely disgusting," wrote one user.
"Life in prison without parole," wrote another.
A third person said: "From behind as well. Brave guy that."
The assault echoes the "happy slapping" trend that began in the UK around 2005 before spreading to other countries in Europe. The fad saw one or more people carry out minor and more serious assaults on strangers for the purpose of recording the attacks on a camera phone.
In 2013, the US also saw a spike in people playing the "Knockout game", in which a person attempts to knock out an unsuspecting victim with a single punch.
The game resulted in at least four fatalities that year, CBS reported.
A number of people linked to such assaults have also been charged with hate crimes.

A housemaid has allegedly murdered a four-year-old child because he witnessed her stealing jewellery on September 12 in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
Quetta city police told local media that a minor was brutally murdered by a housemaid near the Samungli road area.
The family of the deceased child claimed that the housemaid first strangled and later killed him by drowning because he saw her stealing from a house.
According to local media reports, a neighbour, Muhammad Khan Imrani said the child’s mother and maternal uncle were present at the house when the incident happened.
He told local media that when the neighbours rushed to the house after hearing cries, they found the dead body of the child, soaking in water. According to him, when they reached the hospital, the doctor said that the child was strangulated to death.
Police told local media that a case has been filed against the accused and raids are being conducted to find her.
They added that a postmortem report of the deceased child will help investigators ascertain the cause of death.
3 life sentences for Israeli convicted for murder of Arab family
Was he tortured into confession?

“His actions were carefully planned. This is not a spontaneous event but out of a racist extremist ideology,” Justice Ruth Lorch said.

Amiram Ben Uliel received three life sentences from the Lod District Court on Monday. In addition, the court handed 20 more years for two murder attempts.
Ben Uliel had been found guilty on May 18 of three counts of murder in the July 2015 arson attack on a home in the Arab village of Kfar Duma, which killed the Dawabsha family, two parents and an 18-month-old baby.
“The defendant will face judgment today for the serious acts he committed. His actions were carefully planned. This is not a spontaneous event but out of a racist extremist ideology,” Justice Ruth Lorch said, head of the three-judge panel which tried the case.
Shouts filled the courtroom at the end of the trial. Ben-Oliel’s wife shouted at the judges as they left the chamber, “You are the murderers.” Members of the victim’s family shouted, “You are a family of murderers, be ashamed.”
Ben Uliel’s attorneys say they will appeal to the Supreme Court. They say his confession was given after torture by Israel’s internal security service, the Shabak. The court did dismiss some of his confessions but not ones given 36 hours after the Shabak’s “enhanced interrogations’. The court determined those confessions were given freely.
During the May judgment, one of Ben Uliel’s attorneys, Shmuel Zangi Meidad, director of the Honenu legal foundation, said “It’s a dark day for the State of Israel.”
“This judgment is worthy of the third world and of regimes that were part of the world that we hoped had passed from it 100 years ago,” he said.
“Today a court in Israel lent a hand to condemning a man whose innocence cries to the heavens,” Meidad said.
“We believed that the State of Israel values human rights, that a citizen who’s been tortured in the harshest ways in the cellars of Shabak until he was forced to confess for a crime he didn’t do would not be condemned on the basis of such admissions,” he said.
There are two issues I would like to note here:
1. Confession by torture is, as the lawyer said, worthy of a third world country. That it was an Arab family killed and a Jewish defendant no doubt lead to the desire for a quick closure of the investigation; perhaps too quick.
2. If he is guilty, the court case and the sentence stand in stark contrast to cases where Palestinians murdered Jewish children in their beds. They would not be charged or tried in a Palestinian court, and they, or their families, would receive a pension for life as a reward. A different kind of life sentence.
Lib Dem hopeful for London mayor dumped by party
after ‘don’t vote for a Jew’ diatribe surfaces
14 Sep 2020
The UK’s Liberal Democrats have suspended Geeta Sidhu Robb after old footage emerged of her making anti-Semitic remarks in public. She was among the final two candidates for the party’s nomination to run for London mayor in 2021.
The lawyer-turned-nutritionist coach is of South Asian extraction and ran for Parliament in Blackburn in 1997. During that election, she was filmed by a BBC documentary crew saying she would
“Walk around and drive through town telling everyone Jack Straw is a Jew.
How is a Muslim going to vote for someone who is Jewish?”
She made good on that promise, too, as the very next scene shows her driving through Blackburn with a megaphone, saying in Urdu,
“Jews are the enemies of Muslims”
The documentary made it clear her action was a “furious” response to Labour’s campaign telling Blackburn residents she was “not Muslim” and “against Islam,” though she was married to a Muslim at the time.
“This is making it racist, it's making it personal,” she said. “So, we are just going to pull the gloves off.”
Though the documentary aired at Christmas in 1997 and has been available on YouTube since 2017, the incident became problematic after Sidhu Robb was shortlisted for the LibDem mayoral nomination last week.
Sidhu Robb tweeted out an apology on Sunday evening, saying she was “deeply ashamed of the ignorant and abusive language I used on one occasion,” regretting her “abhorrent actions” and arguing she was now “committed to eradicating inequality and discrimination in all its forms.”
It did not save her from suspension by the party, however. “The Liberal Democrats take all allegations of this nature extremely seriously. A complaint has been received by the party and will be actioned in accordance with our processes,” a party spokesperson said.
Straw, who had held the Blackburn seat since 1997, beat Sidhu Robb in that election and went on to serve in Labour cabinets under Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown for the next 13 years. He retired from Parliament in 2015.
Despite his own partial Jewish heritage, Straw was accused of anti-Semitism himself. An Israeli politician accused him of “prejudice of the worst kind” in 2013, after Straw criticized the influence of American Jewish organizations on US foreign policy.
Criticism of Israel was also used to accuse Labour and its leader Jeremy Corbyn of anti-Semitism during the 2019 general election campaign. Conservatives went on to win the election by a substantial margin, with Labour suffering its worst defeat in decades.
The increasing numbers of Muslims entering, or being born in Great Britain, and, indeed, most of Europe is causing the whole continent to grow in antisemitism. And this, only 75 years from the Holocaust, is hardly believable.
