Democrat continues Florida campaign despite anti-Semitc remarks

?Evelyn Garcia, a Democrat who is running for a seat in the Florida state legislature, resigned her seat on the Democratic National Committee over the June 30-July 1 weekend, following revelations of her apparent deep disdain for the state of Israel in emails. Garcia has since apologized. She had held her position at the DNC since 2008.

Explaining her rationale for her anti-Israel remarks, Garcia wrote "In passionately advocating my position supporting the rights of people I felt were being harmed, I used language that I now regret.? In a released statement, she said??The gist of the conversation had to do with my concern for innocent people being oppressed, but such support for the oppressed does not diminish my support for the good people of Israel.?
?
Even so, Garcia continues campaigning for a seat in the?Florida House of Representatives. Her district includes a part of Palm Beach, which is home to a large percentage of Jewish voters. Garcia is one of?four remaining candidates.

First?released by BizPacReview, Garcia's emails raised eyebrows for their invective.?Garcia wrote in one email,??by supporting Israeli occupation with US foreign aid, we are all complicit and guilty of their crimes against humanity.? Continuing, the outspoken politician wrote??Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust and it?s about time this guilt trip was taken off their backs.? The emails date back to 2011 and were well known to local Democrats and activists at that time.

Garcia also wrote that?she, ?deeply resent[s] U.S. taxpayer funds being used to continue Israeli aggression (yes, confiscating other peoples' land and building illegal settlements is aggression), not to mention ?incursions? that kill PEOPLE, destroy civilian homes and infrastructure all over, mass concentration prison camps, etc, etc, etc.?

To the contrary of Garcia's assertions, Jews were persecuted?during the Holocaust in the land that after the Second World War would see the establishment of modern Israel. Author Edwin Black, in his book The Farhud, documents the alliance of?Grand Mufti Amin Al-Husseini with Adolf Hitler. The Grand Mufti was the religious leader of the Muslims in Palestine. Seeing a chance to exterminate Jews and wipe out the British presence, while securing access to precious petroleum for the Third?Reich, the Muslim leader and his followers were essential in the murder and harassment of Jews and sympathetic Arabs. The Grand Mufti not only rallied Arabs to join Hitler's Waffen SS who, while in?Yugoslavia were the overseers of?one of the worst concentration camps of the war, but he was key to the violent dispossession and murder of Jews in nearby Iraq in 1941.

Garcia has long been an ally of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the outspoken congresswoman and head of the DNC. Garcia, notes her campaign website, is one of eight children of a Haitian couple. She has a background in real estate and volunteering.

Twitter user quits over Wimbledon ridicule

Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes ... but perhaps not on Twitter.

A 21-year-old Englishwoman was the butt of jokes on the social networking site after she tweeted on Sunday: "Is Wimbledon always held in London?"

Georgia Ford's question, during the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Club, was retweeted more than 7000 times, with many ridiculing her.

But the storm of criticism also reflected the dark side of the internet. The virtual mob continued to harangue Ms Ford despite her attempts to explain herself in further tweets and she eventually deleted her account.

Others hit back at the critics for their harsh remarks, saying it was a small matter that had been overblown.

Police: Hug triggers officer's gun, kills woman

DETROIT (AP) ? A woman celebrating the weekend before her 25th birthday was fatally shot Sunday when she hugged an off-duty police officer while dancing at a party, causing the officer's service weapon to fire, according to police and her mother.

Adaisha Miller would have turned 25 on Monday, according to her mother, Yolanda McNair.

The shooting happened at an outdoor social gathering about 12:30 a.m., said police Sgt. Eren Stephens. It happened on the city's west side.

According to Stephens, the woman "embraced the officer from behind, causing the holstered weapon to accidently discharge." The bullet punctured Miller's lung and hit her heart, and she died at a hospital.

Stephens said the Detroit officer will remain on administrative duties while authorities investigate the shooting and report their findings to the Wayne County prosecutor. The officer's name was not released.

"For this to happen to her, whether they want to call it freak accident or mistake in judgment, it should have never happened to my child, and there's nothing I can do to get her back," McNair told WDIV-TV.

McNair said her daughter was out to mark her upcoming birthday.

"All she wanted to do was enjoy the weekend for her birthday," the mother said. "She had every right to enjoy turning 25 and look beyond that."
