It Wasn't Trump Or The Russians....

Mass grave of Christians killed by Islamic State found in Libya

Here is still more of the poison fruit of Obama’s weak and feckless foreign policy. He encouraged the jihadis in Libya. He armed them. Benghazi was the result. This is more. Libya was once a stable country. Look at Libya in 2008 and look at it now. Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Iraq…Obama destroyed them all, while working out his hatred for the Jews and arming and legitimizing of the world’s largest sponsor of terror, Iran. Yet the enemedia never questioned Obama about his Libya catastrophe, and is bent on destroying Trump for not wanting to repeat the same mistakes.

“Mass grave of Christians killed by Islamic State found in Libya,” Catholic News Agency, December 30, 2018 (thanks to Orange Martyrs):

MISRATA, Libya – A mass grave of 34 Ethiopian Christians executed by the so-called Islamic State group in 2015 has reportedly been unearthed in Libya.

The bodies have been exhumed and will be eventually repatriated to Ethiopia, the Libyan interior ministry says.

Libyan government authorities found the mass grave Dec. 23 after obtaining information from arrested Islamic State members. The grave appears to be located on a farm near the coastal city of Sirte, 170 miles southeast of Misrata.

Islamic State gained control of Sirte in 2015, but United Nations-backed forces regained control of the city in December 2016 after months of deadly fighting.

According to the Libyan Express newspaper, a propaganda video posted to social media in April 2015 appeared to show the Islamic State members shooting and beheading the Ethiopian Christians, who were all wearing orange jumpsuits, on a beach. The Christians were in Libya to seek work as migrant workers, according to International Christian Concern.

The 2015 incident happened just months after Islamic State members executed a group of nearly two dozen Coptic Christians; a mass grave containing their bodies was...

It's no secret that the shooting that took place on Valentine's Day at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida has had a profound impact on the country. The issue of gun control and law enforcement intervention in school shootings has been at the forefront of this discussion.

Since the tragic shooting took place, gun rights advocates, including National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch have said that the Parkland shooting took place, not because of lax gun laws, but because of the failed leadership under Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.

Remember this discussion that took place during the CNN Townhall? Loesch reminded Israel that law enforcement officials were called 39 times on Nikolas Cruz. And guess what? Absolutely nothing was done.

"They [Parkland students] were threatened with death. They were threatened that they were going to bleed. They were threatened that they were going to be killed," Loesch told Israel. "And [Nikolas Cruz] had already taken bullets and knives to school. He'd already assaulted people. He assaulted his parent. His assaulted other students. 39 visits and this was known to the intelligence and law enforcement community. Look, I'm not saying you can be everywhere at once, but this is what I'm talking about. We have to follow up on these red flags. Doesn't that meet the standard?"

The South Florida Sun Sentinel dug deeper into what occurred on that tragic February day. And guess what they discovered? That the Broward County Sheriff's Office failed to protect students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School...and that was a direct result of Sheriff Scott Israel's leadership...
