Netanyahu greift Irak, Syrien und Libanon an in verzweifeltem Versuch, Wählerstimmen zu erhalten
In der Tat, da die Wahl Israels weniger als einen Monat entfernt ist und Premierminister Netanyahu und seine Verbündeten in den meisten Umfragen einen erheblichen Rückstand aufweisen, scheint es, dass die Politik darin besteht, ihre Angriffe in der gesamten Region zu eskalieren, in der Hoffnung, mehr Stimmen aus der kriegslüsternen Rechten zu bekommen.

Brände im Amazonasgebiet
Deutschland und die EU begünstigen die Abholzung und Brandrodungen im Amazonasgebiet mit ihren umfangreichen Agrarimporten aus Brasilien seit Jahren. Schon lange werden Proteste dagegen laut, zumal im Auftrag von Brasiliens Agrarunternehmen immer wieder auch Morde an Kleinbauern begangen werden.

Anyone but Cowardly, Warmongering Kahol Lavan

Zionist Blue & White Rejects Joint List Participation in Any Coalition
Joint List Chairman Ayman Odeh is prepared to recommend that Kahol Lavan’s Benny Gantz form a government, and that the united slate of Joint List would be willing to join a center-left coalition, he told in a long interview published by the Israeli daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper Friday morning.
MK Odeh’s comments drew ire from across the Zionist political spectrum, ranging from Kahol Lavan to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud. In the interview, Odeh formulated a list of demands with regard to the end of the occupation of the Palestinian territories, welfare issues and Arab public needs.
