Israelis Are Victims of Their Own Government
The list of protesters is endless – an action committee for the performance and culture industry, the restaurateurs association, the nightlife and bars association, the student union, bus drivers, people working in the tourism industry, social workers, the self-employed, the unemployed. Young and old, employees and self-employed, women and men – all are calling for help, but no one is answering.

The protest is reportedly organized by NGOs representing self-employed Israelis, but it is expected to be attended by thousands of students, contract employees and business-owners who were financially impacted by the emergency regulations the first time around.
„The protesters do not intend to be nice,“ one of the organizers told the media outlet, adding that the demonstrators‘ plan for Saturday evening is „showing rage and blocking roads to make sure the protest will not be forgotten.“

Long-Planned and Bigger Than Thought: Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Program
In addition, some American and Israeli officials, and international security analysts, say that Iran may believe that President Trump will lose the November election and that his presumptive Democratic rival, Joseph R.

Machtkampf in Bulgarien eskaliert
Während am Freitagabend Hunderte jubelnde Anhänger der Regierung des Konservativen Borissow die Aufnahme des Landes in den Wechselmechanismus II der EU – eine Art Wartezimmer für den Euro – begrüßten, forderten gleichzeitig auf einer anderen Kundgebung Hunderte Anhänger des Staatspräsidenten Rumen Radew den Rücktritt Borissows.

Comey’s FBI: -Believed Michael Flynn was telling the truth. -Knew Flynn wasn’t a Russian agent. But went after Flynn with a bogus perjury charge. Wow.

Colin Powell politely tells MSNBC that they (& many others) botched the Russian Bounty story w/ „hysterical“ coverage. „Our military commanders did not think that it was as serious a problem as the newspapers were reporting & television was reporting… It got almost hysterical.“
Updates Syria Cross border story: Belgium and Germany expected to put forward a compromise resolution, extending mandate for the Bab al-Hawa crossing point for one year, but giving in to Russian demands to kill the Bab al-Salam crossing,

Veto zu Syrien-Hilfslieferungen – „Zynisches Kalkül“ mit Nebeneffekt
Strategisch gebe es einen „nicht ganz unwillkommenen Nebeneffekt“ für Russland, sagt Hano: „Dass die Flüchtlinge sich in der Regel nach Europa aufmachen und dort die Europäische Union destabilisieren. Und das ist ja auch ein langfristiger strategischer Aspekt der russischen Außenpolitik.“
Our journalists are at the front lines of tonight‘s protest against the Serbian government‘s handling of the #COVID19 crisis. Here‘s what it looks like from their point of view:

Blind in Sachen ‚Patriotismus‘ im Irakkrieg
Linke und Rechte können ihre sinnlosen Debatten über „Patriotismus“ führen, so viel sie wollen. Sie sollen aber den Teil weglassen, der besagt, dass die Invasion und Besetzung eines Landes, das die Vereinigten Staaten nie angegriffen hat, das Recht der Amerikaner auf freie Meinungsäusserung schützt, weil das einfach nicht wahr ist.
