Die Allianz der Bedrohten
Mit der Verschärfung ihrer Sanktionen treiben USA und EU den Machtkampf gegen Russland in einer Form voran, die Beobachter auch jenseits der direkten Folgen für deutsche Unternehmen für höchst riskant halten. Wirtschaftssanktionen seien seit Jahren ein beliebtes Werkzeug der USA im Machtkampf gegen ihre Gegner, heißt es in einer Analyse aus dem European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) unter Verweis auf die Sanktionen etwa gegen Libyen, gegen den Irak oder gegen Iran.

Dozens of British MPs call for end to Gaza war

The call coincides with the escalation of the pro-Palestine demonstrations in London, protesting the British government’s support for Israel.
In an early day motion in the House of Commons, 38 members of parliament strongly criticised the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which enters its twelfth day on Saturday, as a “disproportionate escalation of violence against Palestinians.”
The motion calls for an immediate end to Israeli military strikes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and military incursions into Palestinian population centres in the West Bank.

Expel Israeli Ambassador over Gaza slaughter – Adams
Today marks the 17th anniversary of the IRA cessation in 1997. This is a timely reminder of the efficacy of dialogue and inclusive negotiation as an alternative to protracted armed conflict.
That principle is as applicable today to the situation in the Middle East as it was to Ireland in 1997.
The decision of the Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan to meet the Israeli Ambassador, following the escalation of the Israeli Government‘s military onslaught against the besieged population of the Gaza Strip, is welcome.
However the time has long past for merely expressing concern to a Government that is clearly oblivious to the outrage of the international community at their actions in Gaza.
Irish citizens have been upset and angered at the ongoing killing of men, women and children in Gaza.
All armed actions, including attacks from Gaza must stop.
Dáil observes minute’s silence in solidarity with people of Gaza

Worldwide demos held against Israel‘s Gaza offensive
Hundreds are rallying in support of Gazan Palestinians on Saturday in northern Paris, despite the recent ban of such gatherings in France.
„We are all Palestinians“ and „Israel killers, Hollande accomplice,“ shouted the protesters, according to witness accounts.
