Keir Starmer in Washington: Should the UK back Ukrainian strikes into Russia?
However, supporters of Ukraine argue the nation needs the ability to hit targets inside Russia to be able to stage an effective resistance – and point to Russia’s use of foreign-sourced munitions against cities in Ukraine.
Israel Just Killed Another American in the West Bank. Will the U.S. Ever Respond?
Earlier this year, two 17-year-old Palestinian Americans were killed in the West Bank: Tawfic Abdel Jabbar, a Louisiana native who was shot in January by an off-duty Israeli officer and a settler, and Mohammad Khdour, a high school senior from Florida who was shot in the head by an Israeli gunman several weeks later. In both cases, the U.S. government decried the killings but have yet to launch investigations.
Where Is America’s ‘Rules-Based Order’ Now?
(10.04.2024)
U.N. resolutions that are written without enforcement measures obviously cannot force Israel to stop what its leadership insists is a justified war necessary to remove Hamas and prevent another Oct. 7 massacre. But it’s just as obvious what entity can make Israel stop and isn’t doing so: the United States.
Whatever the Biden administration might have thought it was doing by permitting the resolution to pass and then undermining it, the maneuver exposed the continuing damage Israel’s war in Gaza is doing to the United States’ longstanding justification for being a superpower: guaranteeing what U.S. administrations like to call the international rules-based order.
When will the US finally act to hold Israel accountable?
While the U.S. has waged war in the name of spreading democracy, it blatantly refuses to hold Israel accountable for its deeply undemocratic actions and violations of international law in Gaza and the West Bank, including its treatment of prisoners like my cousin. There are many days when I wake up and I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.
Leserbriefe zu „Nach Frage zu Taurus: Kanzler-Sprecher hinterfragt Status der NachDenkSeiten als deutsches Medium“
Florian Warweg weist hier auf seine Frage hin, „ob Taurus tatsächlich ohne direkte Beteiligung von Bundeswehrsoldaten durch die Ukraine vollumfänglich nutzbar wäre“. Ehemalige und aktive Angehörige der Bundeswehr hätten erklärt, dass der Marschflugkörper Taurus, insbesondere sein Gelände-Referenz-Navigationssystem, nicht ohne direkte Beteiligung von Bundeswehrsoldaten betrieben werden könne. Das Verteidigungsministerium verweigerte eine Antwort, während Regierungssprecher Hebestreit einen Diffamierungsversuch gegen die NachDenkSeiten unternahm. Wir danken für die zahlreichen und interessanten Leserbriefe.
which countries opened their airspace for US / UK airstrikes in West Asia (Iraq / Syria / Yemen / more to come)?
So now Britain, Italy, Netherlands and Finland have pulled out today – joining the already Canada, the US and Australia who had backed out of donating to @UNRWA. What the fuck is this – a ploy just to starve any remaining #Palestinians in #Gaza to death?
okay @MfaEgypt @EgyptPRNewYork since we should follow the icj and act according to genocide convention, isn‘t it time to make all the aid enter through Rafah and ignore israel?
Carnage in Gaza: ‘How much is enough?’ asks UN Assembly President
(19.01.2024)
Addressing the 19th Non-Aligned Summit in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, President Dennis Francis urged the bloc of 120 nations to exert its influence to bring an end to the “carnage” in the war-ravaged enclave.
“That situation behooves us to ask: how much is enough? And does the very concept of enough even exist in this setting?” he said. “I renew the demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and for the release of all hostages. This stands as the only credible course of action to authentically address – let alone resolve – this conflict.”

Can any of Israel’s loyal defenders on this website explain why Israel is besieging and attacking a church in Gaza, and killing Christian women inside? Is the position now that Christian churchgoers are also Hamas?

Inon’s parents, Bilha and Yakovi Inon, 78 and 75, were killed in Netiv Ha’asara on October 7.
Is it 65 journalists now? Or 70? Is it three a day? Five a day? How long must we scream GENOCIDE before just one member state of the UN invokes the genocide convention? #InvokeGenocideConvention
Virtually any country can invoke the Genocide Convention at the World Court (@CIJ_ICJ — different from the pro Israeli @IntlCrimCourt). Irish Nobel Laureate urges Ireland to do it. What country will it be that does this historic deed? South Africa? Brazil? Bolivia? Who?

What‘s behind the US military surge in West Asia?
(August 16, 2023)
In a significant move that sent worrying ripples across West Asia, the US military has discreetly dispatched over 6,000 troops to the region, igniting tensions and triggering debates on regional stability. While the surge of forces into the Red Sea to counter Iran’s actions in the Persian Gulf has garnered attention, the deployment of a substantial US military presence into Iraq and Syria has largely gone under the radar.
Israel at War: Moral Red Lines
As we enter into week two of this horrifying war, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi struggle with the question of if there are moral red lines when responding to absolute evil and if there are, how do we define them. Noting that Israelis are entering this discussion wounded, grieving, enraged, and scared, they acknowledge our need to fight the war fully while grappling with who we want to be not just who we are at this moment.
Ministers demand answers from IDF after cabinet decides to destroy Hamas, PIJ capabilities
Ministers criticized the Chief of Staff claiming he did not find the time to brief them on Saturday. Some wondered if he had wanted to avoid their difficult questions about the failure of the military intelligence to detect the Hamas plan.“
„Every Israeli citizen wants to know how this failure was possible?“ Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis said. „Why are the Chief of Staff and Intelligence chief not here now? We need more information.“
In Israel, there have been 100,000s demonstrating agaist the gouvernment for months. In Gaza, a mob is cheering as dead bodies of a man and a woman are paraded around the streets. When did they protest against Hamas?

Liebe Mainstream-Journalisten: Wollen Sie wirklich eine Wiederkehr der Corona-Politik?
Es mag im Moment unwahrscheinlich erscheinen, dass es gelingt, die Corona-Politik in der erlebten radikalen Form wiederzubeleben. Wenn aber erst einmal eine neue Paniksituation installiert ist mit den entsprechenden „Sachzwängen“ und den „rasant in die Höhe schnellenden Zahlen“, dann wird es wieder leicht sein, eine Sphäre der angeblichen „Unwissenheit“ zu kreieren, in der auch harte „Maßnahmen“ nicht mehr seriös begründet werden müssen und in der skrupellos mit Emotionen gearbeitet wird. Und dann wird es zu spät sein, um noch rational durchzudringen.
Dieser Zustand muss verhindert werden. Darum erfolgt hier nicht nur der Appell an die lieben Mainstream-Journalisten, sondern auch an verantwortungsvolle Politiker, Gewerkschafter, Kirchenvertreter, Lehrer, Künstler, Ärzte und so weiter: Bitte lassen Sie das nicht noch einmal zu!
Mayday calls
If a mayday call cannot be sent because a radio is not available, a variety of other distress signals and calls for help can be used. Additionally, a mayday call can be sent on behalf of one vessel by another; this is known as a mayday relay.
With Marines on Persian Gulf vessels, is Biden risking war with Iran?
(August 4, 2023)
The Washington Post reports that Biden is embarking on a “remarkable escalation” in the Persian Gulf that could lead to a U.S.-Iran war. He is reportedly preparing to authorize U.S. Marines and sailors to be stationed on interested commercial vessels in an effort to thwart Iran from seizing oil tankers in the region.
Is Elon Musk Trying To Destroy Twitter?
(Nov 11, 2022)
Here’s a question I’ve been wondering about:
Is Elon Musk trying to destroy Twitter?
I’m not sure why the new owner of the social media app would want to do that. Yet, if the decisions he’s making are any indication, it almost seems like that’s the plan.
1/My question now is this: Has any part of Prigozhin‘s column diverted to Voronezh-45, which is one of the tactical nuclear storage facilities under the control of the 12th Directorate?
(…)
4/Unlike strategic weapons, which require codes from the President, the Minister of Defense, and the Chief of the General Staff to launch, tactical weapons have only rudimentary PALs (Permissive Action Links) to secure them from unauthorized use.

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass review – Oliver Stone returns to the grassy knoll
(24 Nov 2021)
But, exasperatingly, and despite speculation being the order of the day, the film never attempts to name any supposed second or third shooter, to say exactly where these gunmen would have been positioned, and how the inevitable witnesses to their activity would have been suppressed. The old question reasserts itself: can you do this with any historical event? Could you, with enough time, undermine the case against Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo in 1914?
I don’t understand- can’t a F-35 get close enough to take a high res picture- and then do a simple reverse image search to see it was a hobby balloon?

If Abrams tanks work in Poland, why cant they work in Ukraine? I understand the jet fuel and high maintenance constraints. And Leopards are better. But there‘s no military utility in deploying them in Ukraine? Really?
Netanyahu is Israel’s own worst enemy. Why won’t western allies confront him?
A few have issued veiled warnings. None has imposed the sort of sanctions or boycotts levelled in the past on political extremists in other countries.
The coalition’s objectionable plans raise a broader, uncomfortable question for the US and Europe reaching beyond the too-familiar abuses and impunity of military occupation. In short, can Israel still be considered a reliable, law-abiding ally that shares a set of common values and standards with the western democracies? Maybe this is why governments are keeping stumm.

Why didn’t more people resist lockdown?
As it will take years for culpable parties to retire, I once feared that a full generation would need to elapse before we recognised lockdowns for what they were: the biggest public health debacle in history. Yet everywhere I turn lately, still another journalist is decrying the avoidable social, medical and economic costs of this hysterical over-reaction to a virus, while deriding lockdown zealots for having vilified sceptics of a policy that may well end up killing more people than it protected. The Covid revisionism is welcome – though it’s a good deal easier to publish these opinion pieces now than it was two years ago, and I speak from experience.
What Is the Origin of COVID-19 Variants Like Omicron?
(July 2, 2022)
According to recent research from Tel Aviv University, immunosuppressed chronic COVID-19 patients are thought to be the source of several SARS-CoV-2 variants. The researchers hypothesize that a compromised immune reaction, particularly in the lower airways of these chronic patients, may delay complete recovery from the virus and cause the virus to evolve often during the course of prolonged infection.
Ist dies der Beginn der eigentlichen Katastrophe?
Nach vorläufigen Zahlen des Statistischen Bundesamtes (Destatis) kamen im ersten Quartal des Jahres in Deutschland 164.614 Kinder zur Welt. Im Vergleichszeitraum 2021 waren es 187.543 Lebendgeborene. Das entspricht einem Rückgang von über zwölf Prozent. Der April schaut auch nicht viel besser aus.
Ähnliche Entwicklungen werden aus der Schweiz, Schweden, Taiwan, dem UK, Slowenien und einzelnen US-Bundesstaaten gemeldet. Aber sind diese Daten verlässlich?
Die Lebendgeburtenrate ist eine der statistischen Größen, die in Industrieländern seit vielen Jahrzehnten – in Deutschland seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts – staatlich erhoben werden. Es handelt sich also um solide Informationen, die kaum als „fake news“ bezeichnet werden können.
