  Pedro Sánchez’ speech at the United Nations (16 mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpIuu1_8WxY Of course, there are people who mistrust and dislike him (yet for every human you find a hater), but I very much appreciate Sánchez—and I much more hope that Spaniards appreciate him, or keep appreciating him. He seems to be one of few leaders the world has right now who speaks out and acts against some of the greatest injustices. #spain #unitednations #law

  The ICC, Israel, and the US: “[…] there was no evidence to suggest any kind of misconduct by Khan, sexual or otherwise.” “[…] we need an answer to an equally political, and far more troubling, question. ‘Cui bono?’ Or ‘Who benefits?’” “Shortly before Khan made that announcement, 12 senior US Senators had sent a threatening letter to the ICC: ‘Target Israel and we will target you.’ The letter ended: ‘You have been warned.’” The entire story is unbelievable. https://braveneweurope.com/geopoli...

  Imagine back in, say, 1942, the international community had asked Jews to “disarm” and the US or Russia had proposed partnering with the Germans for business development of concentration camps—something Israel and the US-led “Board of Peace” are doing to Palestinians. Imagine, too, that the Nazis had spun the Holocaust so that any Nazi criticism was anti-German and had to be prosecuted around the world—as with the Israeli pressuring of foreign politicians, their lobbying groups (like AIPAC), an...

  “Now that the genocide has run its course and the Strip has been destroyed almost completely, Israel is advancing confidently toward the next phase of the plan: making the entire population of Gaza permanently disabled, injured, sick, hungry, homeless and unemployed.” And still, people keep watching, as if this couldn’t be us, in the Strip. https://braveneweurope.com/gideon-levy-israels-solution-to-the-gaza-problem-is-well-underway #israel #palestine

  When will the @EUCommission and the EU pressure Israel and the US to stop the war on Iran? When will the EU then also, finally pressure Israel to retreat from Lebanon, Syria, and occupied Palestine? When will the EU cancel the EU–Israel association agreement and, to mitigate direct and indirect threats, start sanctioning and banning certain US products and tech? That is, when will the EU stand up for human rights and international law—because what we see isn’t it? #eu #israel #usa #iran

  In another world, an intl military mission just completed disarmament of Israel, reestablishing 1967 borders, with ICC trials starting against Netanyahu and other officials, and a UN mission securing peace along Israel’s borders. The US Senate removed Trump from office, after which trials led to a conviction in a number of criminal and civil cases. He is ultimately sentenced to life in prison. Several other US officials are likewise removed and put on trial. #usa #israel #alternatives #utopia

  Do you know what the Nakba is? (Just an—anonymous—question, though I’m particularly curious about fellow Germans answering this—personally, I learned about the Nakba only late, for neither in school nor in German media. If you didn’t know about it, please look it up.) #nakba

  Like the Gaza part of occupied Palestine, you can tell how Israel is only targeting terrorists in Lebanon: * Most people killed are civilians * Destruction of civil and critical infrastructure * Invasion of territory These are “counter-terrorism operations” only for those who don’t want to see. Israel will not stop in Palestine, Lebanon, or Iran—so when are *we* stopping this crusade? #israel #lebanon #palestine #iran

  There is much to learn about the Middle East, but once you dive into the history, you see the patterns. Yet people who don’t inform themselves are a massive challenge: A family member of mine (German) was seriously suggesting Iran should be destroyed (!) as it was about to destroy Israel, a statement that makes you wonder where it’s coming from—and is clear whom it serves. But it’s three things the public in the west are dealing with: ignorance, hasbara, and—racism. #middleeast #israel #iran

  “Some people believe that if code is written well, it is so obvious that no comments are needed. This is a delicious myth, like a rumor that ice cream is good for your health: we’d really like to believe it! Unfortunately, it’s simply not true.” Itself a delicious quote from John K.

  Any price increases that our countries experience because of Israel’s and America’s war against Iran should be recompensed by them. No solidarity with this bloodthirsty, lie-based imperialism. We need a new tough line against any country breaking international law: boycotts, sanctions, divestments, and holding to account officials legally and financially. #israel #usa #iran #responsibility

  What if They Had Spent It on Peace? Not only should we fight against civilian infrastructure intentionally being destroyed and entire civilian populations being displaced and killed—we must question the whole bias for violence. https://meiert.com/blog/investing-in-peace/ #politics #war #peace
