Bomben nach dem Beben: Türkei greift Kurdengebiete in Syrien an

Da die türkisch-syrische Grenze bis auf einen Übergang für humanitäre Hilfe Richtung der syrischen Flüchtlingshochburg Idlib geschlossen ist, kamen bislang kaum internationale Hilfslieferungen in die Erdbebengebiete im Norden.

Die Situation der Erdbebenopfer in Syrien ist dramatisch. Es fehlt an allem. Trotz anderslautender Beteuerungen hat der syrische Machthaber Assad bislang keine Lieferungen in das von Rebellen kontrollierte Idlib zugelassen. Auch die Hilfe für die kurdische Autonomieregion läuft nur schleppend.

Keine Panzermunition für die Ukraine: Brasilien weist deutsches Gesuch zurück

Russland hätte nicht in die Ukraine einmarschieren dürfen, betonte Lula, „aber es ist nicht nur Putin, der schuldig ist. Die USA und die EU tragen ebenfalls Schuld“: Sie hätten der russischen Regierung zusichern müssen, dass die Ukraine nicht der Nato beitreten werde, „das hätte das Problem gelöst“, sagte der PT-Politiker im Gespräch mit dem US-Wochenmagazin „Time“ im Mai 2022. Selenskyj warf er vor, er habe „den Krieg gewollt“, sonst hätte er „mehr verhandelt“ und vorgeschlagen, „über die Nato- und EU-Mitgliedschaft weiter zu diskutieren“.

Communist MK Urges the People to Rise Up against the Far-Right Govt’

(08.02.2023)

A Communist lawmaker on Tuesday urge at the Knesset podium citizens of the nation to civil unrest against the “dictatorship” of the new Netanyahu government. MK Ofer Cassif (Hadash) was quickly removed by Knesset ushers. “In light of the current emergency situation, I call for civil unrest…” Cassif said before being interrupted by Deputy Speaker Nissim Vattori (Likud), who called on Knesset ushers to forcibly remove Cassif from the plenum.

The Hadash lawmakers present at the time then erupted in a shouting match, with Cassif and fellow opposition MKs labeling the coalition members as “fascists.”

As Israel‘s McCarthy Atmosphere Spreads, the Government Prepares Its Coup

And here, not a day goes by without more business owners moving their money and their activity, or at least some of it, abroad. As a self-defense mechanism to keep its value from being destroyed. Most them aren’t declaring this. It is their own personal money that they are moving. But in the atmosphere of McCarthyism that is spreading here like the plague, they are immediately denounced as traitors. As defaming the state. Foxes in its vineyards. Journalists who report on what is happening or bring evidence from other countries that have been through similar processes are chastised and lambasted.

The protests are a crucial test both for Macron and his opponents. The government has insisted it’s determined to push through Macron’s election pledge to reform France’s generous pension system. But strong popular resentment will strengthen efforts by labor unions and left-wing legislators to try to block the bill.

Frankreich erneut vor Massenprotesten wegen Pensionsreform

Bereits jetzt arbeiten viele Menschen in Frankreich länger als bis zum Alter von 62 Jahren, wenn sie mit Erreichen der Altersgrenze noch nicht lange genug für eine abschlagsfreie Pension eingezahlt haben. In vielen anstrengenden Berufen könnten die Menschen kaum länger arbeiten, meinen die Gegnerinnen und Gegner der Reform.

Macron begründet die Reform mit einem drohenden Defizit in der Pensionskasse.
