Sieben Schwerpunkte, für die wir uns in der Bürgerschaft stark machen werden:

– Wir wollen ein friedliches Hamburg, das für Völkerverständigung und Weltoffenheit steht. Unser Hafen soll ein Ort des Handels und der Wertschöpfung sein und keine NATO-Drehscheibe für Waffen und Kriegsmaterial. Nachwuchsanwerbung durch Offiziere der Bundeswehr an den Schulen lehnen wir ab.
– Die SAGA als kommunales Wohnungsunternehmen aller Hamburgerinnen und Hamburger soll ihre Gewinne zur Schaffung von neuem, preiswerten Wohnraum, Sanierung und Modernisierung verwenden, anstatt sie an den Senat zum Stopfen von Haushaltslöchern abzuführen. Wir wollen bezahlbare Wohnungen schaffen, statt Immobilienhaie noch reicher zu machen.
– Wir wollen ein zentrales Baustellen-Management und ein Ende des Baustellen-Chaos. Unser ÖPNV muss leistungsfähiger, preiswerter und auch in den Randgebieten flächendeckend werden. Auch beim Verkehr wollen wir eine barrierefreie, inklusive Stadt.
– Wir wollen gute Bildung für alle – von der Kita bis zur Hochschule. Hamburg muss mehr in die Bildung und insbesondere in das Personal investieren. Kinder brauchen mehr Lehrerinnen und Lehrer und keine Digitalgeräte. Jedes Kind soll nach der Grundschule lesen, schreiben und rechnen können und täglich ein kostenloses Mittagessen erhalten.
– Wir wollen mehr öffentliche Investitionen in eine gemeinwohlorientierte Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur, kein weiteres Verscherbeln von städtischem Grund und Boden sowie unbürokratische Verfahren und schnelle, verlässliche Entscheidungen für kleine und mittlere Betriebe…

Nach der Wahl: Anlasslose Massenüberwachung erwartbar

(February 24, 2025)

Zuweilen gingen die Sozialdemokraten in Sachen Überwachungsideen über Forderungen der Konservativen hinaus. Die SPD-Innenministerin hatte gar Vorschläge in einen Referentenentwurf gießen lassen, die nicht mal der Union eingefallen waren: Sie wollte künftig heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen, um Staatstrojaner leichter installieren zu können.

Einzig bei der Chatkontrolle bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich die potentiellen Koalitionspartner zu dem europäischen Vorhaben stellen werden. In den Wahlprogrammen blieb das Thema ohne Erwähnung.

In its fight against fascism, Israeli academia remains blind to a basic truth

After leading the protest movement against the government’s planned judicial overhaul at the beginning of 2023, Israeli academia quickly fell into line after October 7. From militant speeches and op-eds defending a “just war” to the mass enlistment of Israeli students in the reserve service, the academy broadly supported the war in its first months.

What my academic colleagues fail to grasp, but what my activist friends understand clearly, is that the Israeli government’s ongoing assault on democratic norms and institutions cannot be separated from its genocidal oppression of the Palestinian people. They make up the two lobes of the same right-wing brain.

Faced with impeachment, far-left lawmaker slams attempts to silence him

(February 23, 2025)

And by the way, that [in no way] means that there is any justification for the war crimes and crimes against humanity of October 7 whatsoever. Not even the ongoing occupation and persecution and oppression of the Palestinian people. What happened on October 7 must be rejected 100%.

The second thing is that the Palestinian people didn’t launch a war against Israel. Those who are guilty of the crimes of October 7 are Hamas and some other elements of course. That’s not the Palestinian people. The Israelis, in general, are innocents, and the Palestinians, in general are innocents. There are those who are guilty of war crimes here and there and everywhere. In my view, [they] should be caught and brought to justice in The Hague.

The Times of Israel: Does that include Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant?

Ofer Cassif: Yes.

MK Cassif: There’s a Fascist Atmosphere in Israel

(February 24, 2025)

“There are attempts to silence us and to pursue and to create an atmosphere of chilling effect to terrorize us. There are attempts, again, to silence us, to prevent us from raising our political voice. We were not elected to represent those who disagree with us. It’s our right and obligation to represent as firmly as possible our values for which we were elected. Since October 7, people have been arrested because of tweets [in which] they simply expressed sympathy for the children of Gaza, not for Hamas, perish the thought…There’s a fascist atmosphere,” Cassif said to The Times of Israel. Above excerpts from the interview.

IDF’s Oct. 7 probes show it misread Hamas for years, left southern Israel utterly vulnerable

The investigation into the decision-making process made by top officials on the eve of the attack found that the IDF identified five signs of unusual Hamas activity the night before the terror group’s October 7 onslaught, but believed they did not indicate an imminent attack.

This investigation also found that the IDF’s conduct, decision-making, and intelligence assessments on the night between October 6 and 7 were based on the result of years of false assessments about Hamas.

As a result, intelligence officials on all levels failed to provide a warning for what would come.

No sanctions relief for Russia pre-deal and Ukraine ‚can forget about‘ NATO, Trump says

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 26 that Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO as part of a future peace agreement with Russia and ruled out lifting sanctions on Moscow before a deal is reached.

„You can forget about (NATO membership). That‘s probably the reason the whole thing started,“ Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting when asked what concessions Ukraine should make in a settlement.

Trump says Russia lost 900,000 troops in war, Ukraine 700,000

(February 20, 2025)

Trump said during a briefing in Miami that, according to his estimates, Russia lost 900,000 soldiers and Ukraine probably lost 700,000. He described it as terrible, mentioning that body parts could be seen all over the fields. He added that they could see them very accurately through satellites.

He said that satellite images of the battlefields resemble a modern version of Gettysburg (the Battle of Gettysburg is the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War, took place in 1863).

Was Trumps Erfolg im Sicherheitsrat bedeutet

(February 25, 2025)

Die US-Regierung von Präsident Donald Trump hatte die Resolution bei den Vereinten Nationen eingebracht. Der Text hinter dem Titel „Der Weg zum Frieden“ benennt Russland nicht als Aggressor und fordert keinen russischen Rückzug, angemahnt wird bloß ein rasches Ende des Krieges.

Erstmals verabschiedet der UN-Sicherheitsrat damit eine gemeinsame Resolution zum Ukraine-Krieg. Russland, China und die USA stimmten zu, während europäische Länder sich enthielten.

In pictures: Gene Hackman’s iconic on-screen roles

Throughout his career, which spanned more than 40 years, he elevated character roles to leading-man levels, such as in “The French Connection,” “Hoosiers,” “Unforgiven,” and “The Firm.” His best roles were often of conflicted authority figures or surprisingly clever white-collar villains.

West Bank security situation remains alarming, warn UN aid agencies

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN’s Palestine refugee agency, UNRWA, said that “fear, uncertainty, and grief once again prevail. Affected camps lie in ruins…Destruction of public infrastructure, bulldozing roads and access restrictions are common place.“

More than 50 people including children have been killed since Israeli military raids started five weeks ago, the UN agency said, warning that the West Bank “is becoming a battlefield” where ordinary Palestinians are the first and worst to suffer.

Meanwhile, UN aid coordinating office, OCHA, also condemned the “lethal, war-like tactics” being employed by the Israeli military against Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.

OCHA confirmed further civilian casualties and mass displacement after a two-day Israeli military raid in the northern town of Qabatiya in Jenin governorate that ended on Monday.

HC Türk on Occupied Palestinian Territory: “Any plans for a better future must deal with the past, so accountability is crucial.”

For more than 57 years, people in Gaza and in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have been suffocating under Israeli occupation. They have been denied their most basic human rights, from the right to self-determination, to freedom of movement, to an adequate standard of living. In Gaza, they have been subjected to blockades amounting to collective punishment. In the West Bank, illegal settlements and violence have been growing for decades, in violation of international law, with a significant increase over the past three years. Most of these violations have gone unpunished.

There is absolutely no justification for the horrific attacks committed on 7 October 2023 when Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups brutally assaulted Israeli communities, killed civilians, and took more than 250 hostages, and I have repeatedly condemned these acts.

And nothing justifies the appalling manner in which Israel has conducted its military operations in Gaza, which consistently breached fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.
