ScharfschĂŒtzen haben saubere HĂ€nde

Unsere Massaker werden nur durch Werbepausen unterbrochen. Richter legalisieren sie. Korrespondenten töten uns mit passiver Sprache. Wenn wir GlĂŒck haben, sagen Diplomaten, dass unser Tod sie betroffen macht, aber sie erwĂ€hnen niemals den Schuldigen, ganz zu schweigen davon, ihn zu verurteilen. Politiker, trĂ€ge, unfĂ€hig oder mitschuldig, finanzieren unseren Untergang und tĂ€uschen dann, wenn ĂŒberhaupt, MitgefĂŒhl vor. Akademiker stehen untĂ€tig daneben. Das heißt, bis sich der Staub gelegt hat, dann werden sie BĂŒcher darĂŒber schreiben, was hĂ€tte sein sollen. Begriffe prĂ€gen und so weiter. VortrĂ€ge in der Vergangenheitsform halten. Und die Aasgeier, selbst diejenigen unter uns, werden Museen besuchen und das verherrlichen und romantisieren, was sie nicht zu verteidigen bereit waren – unseren Widerstand –, sie werden ihn mystifizieren, entpolitisieren, kommerzialisieren. Die Aasgeier werden unsere Leichen in Skulpturen verwandeln.

Und wir sterben.

Israeli authorities refuse to return massive trove of Oct 7 video. What are they hiding?

(May 31, 2026)

On October 7, the Israeli government issued video Hannibal Directive orders which led Apache helicopter pilots and tank gunners to take aim at Israel’s own citizens in the Gaza envelope, supposedly to prevent them from being taken hostage. Israeli Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram personally ordered a tank crew to shell a home in Kibbutz Be’eri, knowing it was filled with Israeli citizens who had been taken captive by Hamas fighters seeking to negotiate a way out of the standoff. A dozen Israelis were killed in the strike, leaving behind “a house full of corpses,” according to the lone Israeli survivor. One Israeli tank gunner from an all-female unit similarly revealed that she was ordered to shell Israeli homes without knowing who was inside. An Israeli police investigation subsequently revealed that Israeli helicopters shelled the Nova Electronic Music festival on October 7.

Given Israel’s track record of targeting its own citizens on October 7 and misleading the public about it, the Israeli state might be holding on to as much video as possible to ensure no further evidence of the Israeli army massacring its own citizens is made public.

Vance Says Iran Agreed To Establish a Direct Line Between the IRGC and the US Military

(June 25, 2026)

Vance told Sohrab Ahmari, the US editor for UnHerd, that one of the things the US wanted to “come out” of the talks with was a “channel on the Iranian side” for reducing conflict.

“Which we did. They were like, ‘OK, fine, we’ll send somebody from the IRGC to go hang out in Doha with somebody from CENTCOM,’ and that’s how we’re going to settle a lot of these disputes,” the US vice president said during an interview conducted aboard Air Force Two on the flight home from Switzerland.

President Abbas sends letters to world leaders warning of Israeli measures targeting churches in occupied Jerusalem

In his messages, President Abbas warned against Israel‘s attempt to impose the municipal property tax known as „Arnona“ on churches, describing the move as an unprecedented and flagrant violation of the historic and legal status quo governing the holy sites, as well as a direct attack on the Christian presence and religious institutions in occupied East Jerusalem.

He stressed that Jerusalem enjoys a special legal status under international law, supported by the international community since the 1947 UN Partition Plan, and reiterated that the international community recognizes East Jerusalem as an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.

President Abbas also referred to relevant UN Security Council resolutions, including 242, 252, 267, 338, 476, 478, and 2334, which affirm that the acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible and that all unilateral Israeli measures aimed at altering the character, legal status, demographic composition, or institutions of Jerusalem are null and void and without legal effect.

He emphasized that no measure taken by the occupying power can be interpreted as granting Israel sovereignty or legal jurisdiction over occupied East Jerusalem or its Islamic and Christian holy sites and endowments.

Netanyahu says ‚there is no room for two states‘

“Another principle of the government, of the broad national government that I intend to lead, is that there is no room for two states. Between the sea and the Jordan River, there is no room for two states,” he told reporters.

“Now, you ask me, three years ago, before the war, the public was divided on this issue. Although I believe that most of the public was opposed, a significant portion supported it. I think that has changed. This is now a basis for agreement.”

Earlier, he described the framework agreement with Lebanon as a „historic accomplishment“ and a „massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah“.

Netanyahu said the understandings reached with Lebanon and the US recognise Israel‘s right to maintain a security zone inside southern Lebanon for as long as it considers necessary.
