Netanyahu says security in Gaza is critical to stop Hamas smuggling hostages into Iran: ‚lost forever‘
According to Netanyahu, the best way to prevent these Hamas hostage smuggling efforts is through maintaining the contested Philadelphi Route – a security corridor that runs between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
Netanyahu is unequivocal about ceasefire and hostage agreement with Hamas: ‘There’s not a deal in the making’
(September 5, 2024)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday was as clear as he has ever been that he does not believe a ceasefire and hostage deal is likely in Gaza in a sharp rebuke to the Biden administration’s insistence it’s close at hand.
“There’s not a deal in the making,” Netanyahu told Fox News. “Unfortunately, it’s not close.”
Netanyahu derailed a potential Gaza hostage deal in July, Israeli newspaper reports
)September 4, 2024)
The report lends credence to charges often leveled at the prime minister – most notably by hostage families – of purposefully prolonging the war and torpedoing deals for his political benefit. Far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition have pledged to bring down the government should he end the war.
Several news outlets, including CNN, have reported on the late July demands made by Netanyahu, but this is the first time the Israeli document has been obtained in full.
Kamala Harris Had Her Worst Week Since Joe Biden Stepped Aside
T.J. McCormack, a Republican communications specialist, said that after a „stratospheric liftoff“ to her campaign, any „less-than-stellar few days would constitute a bad week“ for the vice president.
„For a coddled candidate the real world can be a terrible thing, especially when that world has several multi-front wars, murdered hostages and polling firms carving up swing states with scalpels,“ McCormack told Newsweek. „Kamala loved the big stage, now she‘s in the trenches.“
Of course Netanyahu should go – in an orderly process that gives our enemies cause for fear
(today)
And therefore, as was the case when he insisted on continuing to run the country while in the midst of a corruption trial, and as was the case when he pressed on with his assault on Israeli democracy and briefly fired that defense minister, so too, now, it falls to a potential few good men and women within his own coalition base to tell him that his presence is harming Israel, that his policies empowered and emboldened Hamas, and that far from being uniquely capable of ensuring Israel has the practical and diplomatic room to destroy Hamas, he is almost uniquely incapable of doing so.
Netanyahu Must Go
(09.04.2024)
Israel must destroy Hamas as a military and political force in the territory while minimizing harm to civilians. It must do what it can to rescue its hostages without jeopardizing the overriding goal of destroying Hamas. It must, by diplomacy or force, push Hezbollah back from Lebanon’s southern border, so that 60,000 Israelis can return safely to their homes in the north. It must take the battle directly, as it did last week in Damascus, to Hamas’s and Hezbollah’s patrons, whether in Syria, Qatar or Iran.
And for all of that to happen effectively, Benjamin Netanyahu must go.
Majority in U.S. Now Disapprove of Israeli Action in Gaza
(27.03.2024)
Although Americans rate Biden‘s handling of the conflict poorly, his overall job approval rating is no lower now than before the conflict began. The issue does not register highly when Americans are asked to name the most important problem facing the U.S. Nor does it rank highly when Americans rate each of several international issues as critical threats to U.S. vital interests.
Are Biden and the Democrats finally turning on Israel?
Biden’s new plan to build a pier on the Gaza coast seems to say yes. The continued military aid to Israel says otherwise.
Biden in a hot mic moment shows his growing frustration with Netanyahu over Gaza humanitarian crisis
In the exchange, Bennet congratulates Biden on his speech and urges the president to keep pressing Netanyahu on growing humanitarian concerns in Gaza. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were also part of the brief conversation.
Biden then responds using Netanyahu’s nickname, saying, “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.”
Biden and Starmer will pay a heavy price for supporting Israel‘s war in Gaza
We can be sure of one thing. History is going to be a much harsher judge of those political leaders who justified and tolerated the ethnic cleansing now going on in Gaza.
Biden and Starmer’s refusal to call for a ceasefire and their refusal to back the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Israel should take steps to comply with the Genocide Convention, will produce an indelible stain on their careers.
Neither man sees the danger they are in over Gaza. But then neither did Bush or Blair when they invaded Iraq.
Pakistan elections are a sham without Imran Khan
It is election day in Pakistan. But in the world’s fifth largest democracy, people are not able to vote for the most popular leader, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who cannot contest elections after having been disbarred. Khan will spend today – and potentially 14 more years – in jail. So how did the situation get so bad and what lies ahead?
Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), are leading in opinion surveys, but their electoral symbol has been banned, and observers are predicting that the vote will be a fait accompli for former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N).
Biden and Trump Evenly Matched in U.S. Favorable Ratings
(January 9, 2024)
The same poll measured Americans’ overall impressions of Trump’s chief rivals for the Republican presidential nomination — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley — as well as independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy easily tops the list with a 52% favorable rating, while Haley and DeSantis are each viewed favorably by about a third.
Poll shows RFK Jr. with highest favorability in 2024 race
Who is the most favorable candidate running for president this year?
According to the latest Gallup poll, it’s not either of the current party frontrunners, President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump.
Before the U.S. and other countries launched airstrikes on Thursday targeting Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, few Yemenis approved of the leadership of the U.S. or Iran. However, Yemenis in 2023 were twice as likely to approve of the U.S. (26%) as Iran (13%).
Israeli Army Conducted Online Psy-op Against Israeli Public During Gaza War
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit also intended to use social media influencers in order to sway Israeli public opinion.
It is unclear if the IDF paid the Instagram account holders for their services. According to a source familiar with the inner workings of the unit, this is not the only time such cooperation has taken place.

Impfapartheid in der Clubszene: Wie junge Menschen durch Gruppendruck zur Spritze gelenkt werden
Der Autor plaudert jetzt mal aus dem Nähkästchen. Anekdotische Evidenz. Vor ein paar Wochen hatte er das Vergnügen, neben einem der bekanntesten Berliner DJs das Pissoir zu nutzen. Der DJ steht bei einem der größten Berliner Labels unter Vertrag und ist eine Szene-Größe, die jeden Club nur ausverkauft zu sehen bekommt. Er wurde dann mit der Frage konfrontiert, wie er denn dazu stehe, so viele Menschen von der Feier auszuschließen. Ob das für ihn sei ein Problem sei.
Die Antwort war vorprogrammiert: “Hätten sich ja impfen lassen können, dann wären sie dabei.”
London protest: Thousands march in fury over lockdown and vaccine passports
THOUSANDS of protestors have gathered in central London this afternoon to object to the continued lockdown measures.
TV presenter Beverly Turner joins Laurence Fox and thousands of anti-vaccine passport activists as they march through London in ‚Unite for Freedom‘ protest
The protest comes amid discussions over ‚Covid-status certificates‘ being considered by ministers to help open up society, get people back into work or away on holiday despite concerns from Boris Johnson‘s own MPs that they will be ‚intrusive, costly and unnecessary‘.
Earlier this month, Britain‘s equalities watchdog warned the Government that vaccine passports could be unlawful, create a ‚two-tier society‘ and discriminate against migrants, ethnic minorities and the poor.

Nach einer langen und turbulenten Debatte über umstrittene Äußerungen von Rutte bei den Koalitionsgesprächen fehlte der Opposition in der Nacht zum Freitag in Den Haag am Ende die Mehrheit für ein Misstrauensvotum. Rutte hatte zuvor die Abgeordneten um Verzeihung gebeten.

Skid Row, Los Angeles
Skid Row was established by city officials in 1976 as an unofficial „containment zone“, where shelters and services for homeless people would be tolerated.[19]
During the 1970s, two Catholic Workers — Catherine Morris, a former nun, and her husband, Jeff Dietrich — founded the „Hippie Kitchen“ in the back of a van. Over forty years later, in March 2019, aged 84 and 72, they remained active in their work feeding Skid Row residents.[20]
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, many veterans of the Vietnam War found themselves drawn to Skid Row, due to the services and missions already in place there, and feeling outcast from other areas. Like those after World War II, many of them ended up on the streets. It was around this time that the demographics of Skid Row shifted from predominantly white and elderly to those here today [see Demographics].
Los Angeles: Why tens of thousands of people sleep rough
(19 September 2019)
In 1976, city officials established Skid Row as an unofficial „containment zone“, where homeless people, shelters and services would be tolerated. As a result, most visitors to the parts of Los Angeles that attracted visitors from around the world never saw a homeless person.

Leserbriefe und Hinweise zum Artikel „Künstler und Corona-Kritik: Wo seid ihr alle hin?“
In diesem Beitrag hat Tobias Riegel gefragt, warum sich manche prominente deutsche Künstler, die sich sonst gerne zur Weltlage äußern, seit Corona sehr bedeckt halten. Die Frage war mit dem Aufruf verbunden, uns Hinweise auf Künstler-Beiträge zu schicken, die sich kritisch mit der Corona-Politik auseinandersetzen. Viele Leser sind dem nachgekommen und wir veröffentlichen hier eine Auswahl der Briefe und der Hinweise. Vorläufiges Fazit: Auch in Zeiten der scharfen Diffamierung Andersdenkender gibt es sie noch, die kritische Kunst.

Künstler und Corona-Kritik: Wo seid ihr alle hin?
Zum anderen begnügen sich viele Kulturschaffende nicht mit einem Schweigen, sondern fordern gar eine Verschärfung der auf fragwürdiger Datenbasis ausgerufenen Lockdown-Politik. So befinden sich unter den Erstunterzeichnern bei der extrem fragwürdigen Initiative „Zero Covid“ auch viele prominente bildende Künstler, Autoren oder Filmemacher. Die sich hinter der Phrase von einem „solidarischen Lockdown“ verbergenden sozialen Verwerfungen werden nicht angemessen in den Blick genommen.

„Anne Will“ zur Libyen-Konferenz: Alle gegen Maas
Maas mahnt an, dass deutsche Soldaten in Afrika in vielen Ländern des Kontinents als eine Art koloniale Geste verstanden würden, er erinnert an die Afrikanische Union, die ebenfalls an der Konferenz teilnahm und eher die Legitimität für eine Präsenz in Libyen besäße.
Marschall ist das etwas zu lasch, er wünscht sich mehr „Zähne“ zur Durchsetzung eines Waffenstillstands und fragt, wie Maas denn mit „den Afrikanern“ reden wolle, um sie von einem konsequenten Vorgehen gegen die zahlreichen Bürgerkriegsparteien und deren Unterstützerstaaten zu überzeugen.
Only one-third of Americans believe Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide—so why does the New York Times?
The new poll essentially jibes with the results of a Rasmussen Reports poll carried out in the immediate aftermath of Epstein’s unexplained death. On August 14, Rasmussen indicated that 42 percent of Americans thought Epstein “was murdered to prevent him from testifying against powerful people with whom he associated,” while 29 percent thought he had killed himself and 29 percent were undecided.
Three weeks of US media propaganda to the effect that anyone who has doubts about the death is under the influence of “conspiracy theories” has only had a limited effect. A stubborn percentage of the population continues to be skeptical about the “official story.” As the German writer Bertolt Brecht wrote under very different circumstances, “Would it not be easier / In that case for the government / To dissolve the people / And elect another?”
A Very German Idea of Freedom: Nude Ping-Pong, Nude Sledding, Nude Just About Anything
“It’s all about freedom,” said John C. Kornblum, a former United States ambassador to Germany, who has lived here on and off since the 1960s, and was once shouted at by a naked German for not taking off his swimming shorts in a whirlpool.
“Germans are both afraid of freedom and deeply desire it,” Mr. Kornblum said. “But hierarchy and rules are so embedded that direct political or social dissonance is simply not thinkable.”
Wooing Trump Pays Off for Netanyahu as His Popularity Soars
(31.5.2018) Netanyahu’s grip on power is still potentially in jeopardy, and his political successes shouldn’t have a bearing on Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit’s decision whether to indict him in the corruption cases — in theory at least. But it would take an especially aggressive attorney general to indict a popular, sitting prime minister for the first time in Israel’s history, said Eran Vigoda-Gadot, a political science professor at Haifa University.
The ingenious and ‘dystopian’ DNA technique police used to hunt the ‘Golden State Killer’ suspect
(28.4.2018) They tracked their suspect through his family tree.
Police said they checked the crime scene DNA against one of the genealogy sites that have lately become popular — databases filled with the profiles of people who have volunteered their genetic codes in the hope of discovering their relatives and ancestors. GEDmatch, a free service, confirmed that police used it to identify DeAngelo.
