EU/Israel: Bloc’s consistent failure to suspend Association Agreement should spur member states to take unilateral action

(July 13, 2026)

“It’s beyond shameful that a majority of EU member states, led by Germany and Italy, continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Countries committed to uphold international law must not remain silent while others actively undermine the very principles they claim to defend.

(…)

“In the pages of history, there will be a clear distinction between those who failed to act in the face of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and those who stood up for humanity.”

Global: States must push back against reprehensible US campaign to dismantle the ICC

(July 14, 2026)

“If other states bow to this pressure, they will acquiesce to a new era of lawlessness, impunity and rampant injustice. Now is not the time to appease. Now is the time to resist.”

“Appeasement will only further embolden perpetrators and open the door to more armed conflicts and more crimes committed by powerful leaders against their own or other states’ populations. Amnesty International calls on all states to firmly resist – both collectively and unilaterally – the Trump administration’s campaign against the ICC and all international institutions that protect human rights. They must also reiterate their support for the Court and enact practical and legislative measures, including so-called ‘blocking statutes’, to mitigate the effect of US sanctions on those impacted.

“State inaction and cowardice in the face of past sanctions and attacks is what emboldened the US to announce this strategy. For the good of humanity, victims’ hopes of justice, and the prospect of lasting global security, the international community must come together, stand up to the bullies in the White House and State Department and protect the international rule of law. We must not accept a reality where the most powerful have the least legal responsibility.”

Beide vereinbarten eine enge Zusammenarbeit, um die Unabhängigkeit und Sicherheit des Gerichts zu schützen.

Tabubruch bei den Geheimdiensten

(July 13, 2026)

Was die Bundesregierung hier plant, ist ein grundlegender Umbau der deutschen Sicherheitsarchitektur. Geheimdienste sollen hacken, manipulieren, aktiv eingreifen und Minderjährige als Informanten einsetzen dürfen. Wer ihnen solche Befugnisse einräumt, verschiebt die Grenzen staatlicher Macht weit in Richtung eines übergriffigen Sicherheitsstaates.

Die Bundesregierung will den Entwurf spätestens Anfang August durch das Bundeskabinett bringen. Jetzt gilt es, laut zu werden. Kubickis Appell ist eindeutig: Die Pläne „sind ohne Beispiel in einer liberalen Demokratie und müssen gestoppt werden“.

How to Change Your DNS on Any Device

(20.01.2024)

A Domain Name System (DNS) matches human-friendly domain names to computer-friendly IP addresses.

When you type in a domain name like cyberghost.com, for example, your web browser sends the request to your ISP via your router. Your ISP refers the request to its default DNS server. The DNS server then supplies the relevant IP address so your browser can load the appropriate page.

A DNS also saves a local copy or cache of sites you’ve recently visited on your device for quick and easy reference.

It seems like a streamlined service; what could go wrong? Check the following reasons why you should change your DNS.

Senate Democrats Block Advancement of $1.1 Trillion NDAA Over Iran War

Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked the advancement of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, citing President Trump’s war with Iran, which continues to rage following the collapse of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.

The NDAA would provide the Pentagon with over $1.1 trillion in funding as part of the White House’s plan for a $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027, a nearly 50% increase from this year. The bill also includes an amendment, Section 1217, to further merge the US and Israeli militaries under a plan being pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A procedural vote of 50-46 fell well short of the 60 votes that it needed to advance the NDAA. Every Democrat, except two who weren’t present for the vote — Senators Jon Fetterman (PA) and Alex Padilla (CA) — voted against advancing the sprawling military spending bill.

Trump’s ridiculous Hormuz proposal is the last thing the world needs

The strait was open before the US and Israel joined forces to wage war on Iran, only to have that nation slam it shut. Some vessels got through during the ceasefire, with Iran charging $3 million for a fully loaded supertanker to transit the strait.

Trump’s threatened toll would jack that cost up to $69 million.

MK Odeh Broke the Israeli Official Boycott and Met with UN Secretary-General Guterres

Following that meeting, MK Odeh stated, “I met with UN Secretary-General Guterres. I thanked him for his principled stances during this difficult time and made it clear that the war of destruction in Gaza must be ended through a comprehensive deal. I emphasized that there is no solution other than ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel. It is the duty of the international community to recognize this right, and the UN plays a pivotal role in correcting this historical injustice.” He stressed, “There is no other way but the path of peace and justice.”

Israel must immediately release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: UN experts

On 27 December 2024, Kamal Adwan Hospital was the last functioning hospital in North Gaza. “The hospital’s director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya along with other medical staff and patients were illegally detained by Israel on the basis of the abusive Unlawful Combatants’ Law”, the experts said.

(…)

“Israel and its allies have ignored the International Court of Justice and UN mechanims and experts as they continue to commit these violations of international law without any consequences,” they said.

(…)

The experts:

– Tlaleng Mofokeng, Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health
– Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967

Meinungsfreiheit: Die Normalisierung des Autoritären

Fast wäre man versucht zu sagen: Was waren das für Zeiten, als Meinungsabweichler nur als „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ öffentlich diffamiert wurden! Im Vergleich zu dem, was heute passiert, waren diese Zeiten geradezu harmlos – könnte man meinen. Doch harmlos waren schon die Übergriffe nur mit Worten nie. Das Feuer war bereits zu sehen.

Und heute? Wer die falsche Meinung vertritt, wird von Medien nach wie vor als „umstritten“ oder als „rechts“ bezeichnet mit dem Ziel: mundtot machen. Zum Schweigen bringen.

Doch längst passiert mehr.

Was wir erleben, hat mit dem Geist der Demokratie nichts mehr zu tun. Vielmehr weht der Wind des Autoritären und zunehmend des Totalitären durch die Republik.

Hans-Eckardt Wenzel: Der schleichende Staatsstreich im Westen

(July 4, 2026)

Ein weiteres zentrales Element ist die systematische Spaltung der Gesellschaft. Während der Pandemie wurde die Bevölkerung in „gehorsam“ und „ungehorsam“ geteilt – eine Spaltung, die bis heute nachwirkt. Dieselbe Technik wird nun auf die Frage nach Krieg und Frieden angewendet. Wer Verhandlungen fordert oder die offizielle Darstellung hinterfragt, riskiert, als „Feindbegünstiger“ oder unzuverlässig eingestuft zu werden.

Das Ergebnis ist ein permanenter Staatsstreich, der sich vor aller Augen abspielt, doch für eine Bevölkerung, die darauf trainiert ist, ihn nicht zu sehen, unsichtbar bleibt. Es gibt eine weit verbreitete Selbstzensur. Viele Menschen schweigen, obwohl sie intern andere Positionen vertreten. Wenzel beschreibt eine Gesellschaft, die gelernt hat, Schweigen mit Stabilität zu verwechseln und Widerstand als größere Gefahr zu betrachten als die bestehenden Zustände.

Pour la suspension de l’accord d’association UE-Israël et la fin de la complicité de l’Europe dans le génocide en Palestine

(January 13, 2026)

Notre demande est simple : l’Union européenne doit mettre un terme au commerce et à sa coopération privilégiée avec Israël en suspendant totalement l’accord d’association !

Avec ses partenaires de l’Alliance de Gauche européenne et en lien avec les associations, ONG, syndicats mobilisés contre le génocide en Palestine, la France insoumise lance une Initiative Citoyenne Européenne (ICE) pour obliger la Commission européenne à enfin agir.

Pour aboutir, elle doit recueillir au moins 1 million de signatures dans au moins 7 pays de l’UE. Récemment, des initiatives initiatives européennes pour garantir le droit à l’avortement partout en Europe et pour interdire les thérapies de conversion contre les personnes LGBTI ont récolté suffisamment de signatures pour contraindre la Commission européenne à se saisir du sujet. Nous pouvons faire de même pour la Palestine !

Face à l’horreur, ne détournons pas les yeux. Unissons-nous pour demander justice pour la Palestine et la fin à la complicité de l’UE dans le génocide !

Seine Gegner haben ihn abgeschrieben – doch Jean-Luc Mélenchon gibt nicht auf

(June 29, 2026)

»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen – hier ist Ihr Kandidat für die Präsidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc Mélenchon!,« schallte es über die Straßen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken Mélenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs für die Präsidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.

Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die Mélenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.

French Elites Face a Mamdani Moment of Their Own

Who is behind the West‘s Iran policy?

Over the past few years, I came to the conclusion that Great Britain was world’s chief arsonist of peace and suggested that if, the City of London, with its supporting structures in British government, banking, intelligence, secret diplomacy, along with a vast network of think tanks, media organizations, NGOs, charitable organizations and gambling casinos around the world could somehow be quarantined, probably 95% of all the world’s wars and other problems would vanish overnight.
