Undeterred by pleas and warnings from Israel, Russia made clear on Thursday that it will go ahead with its planned delivery of a highly sophisticated air-defense system to Syria’s President Bashar Assad.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly warned Russian President Vladimir Putin in an emergency face-to-face meeting on Tuesday that Moscow’s sale of the S-300 missile defense system to Assad could push the Middle East into war.

But Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, evidently unmoved by the dramatic Israeli warning, declared on Thursday that while Moscow was “not signing any new deals,” it would honor existing contracts with Syria, including for the air-defense systems. “We’ve already carried out some of the deal,” Lavrov said, “and we will carry the rest of it out in full.”

A failure to honor signed contracts, Lavrov added in a television interview, would “harm the credibility” of Russia in other arms-sales contracts.

Parents Urged to Boycott 'Sexual Predator' Day

California parents are being urged to keep their children home from school on May 22, the state’s official day for conducting “exercises” to honor the notorious homosexual activist and reported pedophile Harvey Milk.

In 2009, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a day for schools to commemorate the San Francisco activist, who was California’s first openly homosexual man to be elected to public office. Earlier that year, President Obama posthumously awarded Milk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But SaveCalifornia.com, a non-profit pro-family organization founded by Randy Thomasson, warns Milk is no “role model” for schoolchildren.

Citing a biography of Milk by homosexual San Francisco Chronicle writer Randy Shilts, which served as the basis of an Oscar-winning film about the activist, SaveCalifornia.com points out Milk “repeatedly engaged in adult-child sex [and] advocated for multiple homosexual relationships at the same time.”

In fact, the book describes Milk’s romantic relationship with 16-year-old Jack Galen McKinley (when Milk was 33) and explains the activist “always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems.”

SaveCalifornia.com, consequently, is urging fathers and mothers to demand that teachers, principals and school board members refuse to honor Milk or else they’ll keep their children home that day or exit the government schools entirely.

“Parents who hear about ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day’ are disgusted that this teen predator and sexual anarchist is now the new role model for their children, and schools aren’t even notifying them that this happening,” Thomasson said in a statement. “Parents must keep their children home from public school on May 22 to guard their kids from the bad influence of ‘Milk Day.’”

SaveCalifornia.com is also running radio ads (which can be heard below) in Los Angeles and Sacramento, featuring a real mom urging parents to keep their children home on or around May 22.

“When I learned about [Milk's] agenda against children’s innocence,” the mother in the ad states, “I became angry at what ‘Milk Day’ would teach kids behind their parents’ backs. … They’ll be taught an agenda that attacks our family values.

“Moms, Dads, please protect your children from Harvey Milk indoctrination,” she concludes. “Keep them home Wednesday, May 22.”

The Russian FSB spy agency Saturday exposed the US embassy’s “Counsellor” as CIA rezident in Moscow. This blunt breach of intelligence protocol is seen as another Russian step to damage bilateral relations with the Washington after exposing and expelling alleged CIA spy Ryan Fogle earlier this week, claiming he had been caught trying to recruit a Russian intelligence officer.

DEBKAfile: Washington and Moscow are at loggerheads over Syria. By outing the CIA station chief in Moscow, the Kremlin appears to be seeking to humiliate the Obama administration and goad it into retaliating.
