Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity:
Evil can be guarded against. Stupidity cannot. The world's few evil people have little power without the help of many stupid people. Therefore, stupidity is a far greater threat than evil.

In the chaos of Syria’s brutal civil war, a group of ordinary civilians emerged as extraordinary symbols of hope. Known as the White Helmets, or officially the Syrian Civil Defence, they were volunteer rescue workers who risked everything to save lives amid relentless bombardment.
Founded by James Le Mesurier who was a former British Army officer & security consultant who helped establish the volunteer rescue organization in 2014, securing training and international funding for their life-saving work in war-torn Syria. More about him later.
Syrians from all walks of life – bakers, teachers, engineers, and tailors – the organisation grew to thousands of volunteers operating in opposition-held areas where government services had collapsed.
Wearing their distinctive white protective helmets, they rushed into the aftermath of airstrikes and shelling. Their work included pulling survivors from beneath rubble, providing emergency first aid, extinguishing fires, clearing unexploded ordnance & delivering essential services to communities cut off from aid. By their own accounts, they saved more than 128,000 lives while losing hundreds of their own volunteers, many in so-called double-tap attacks where aircraft returned to strike rescuers at the scene.
Neutral and unarmed, the White Helmets operated without regard for political or religious affiliations, becoming a rare beacon of humanity in one of the 21st century’s deadliest conflicts. Their bravery earned international acclaim, including multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations & an Oscar-winning documentary. Yet in the eyes of the Syrian regime and its allies, they were branded as terrorists for working in rebel-held territory.

By mid-2018, their courage had placed them in mortal peril. Syrian government forces, supported by Russian airpower, launched a major offensive to reclaim Daraa and Quneitra provinces in the southwest of the country. Opposition enclaves crumbled rapidly, and the White Helmets found themselves trapped near the border with the Israeli Golan Heights. With pro-regime troops advancing and Islamic State fighters infiltrating pockets of the region, capture or death seemed inevitable.
International alarm bells rang loudly. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and other nations appealed urgently for action. Israel, uniquely positioned with forces along the Golan Heights boundary, agreed to facilitate a high-stakes humanitarian evacuation.
What followed was a meticulously planned, top-secret overnight operation that unfolded on the night of 21-22 July 2018.
Under the cover of darkness, Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) personnel crossed into Syrian territory to reach extraction points. The mission had originally aimed to save around 800 White Helmets and family members, but only 422 individuals – including approximately 98 volunteers and the rest their relatives, many women and children – reached the rendezvous amid the fast-moving frontline.
Israeli troops guided the evacuees onto vehicles and drove them across the Golan Heights boundary into Israel. There, they received immediate humanitarian support: food, water, and medical treatment from IDF personnel. From Israel, the group was transferred onward to Jordan, where United Nations officials took charge at a secure holding facility.
The operation demanded split-second timing and flawless coordination across borders and time zones.
Advancing Syrian troops & militant groups loomed nearby, yet the convoy moved swiftly and without reported casualties.
Israeli officials described it as a purely humanitarian effort, conducted at the request of allies and in line with Israel’s values of saving lives in crisis.

📍 Jakob Engel-Schmidt i januar 2026: “En momsnedsættelse er en dårlig idé, da det vil have en minimal effekt”.
📍 Jakob Engel Schmidt i forgårs i Debatten: “Det gør ikke noget, at vi hæver skatten for folk med indtægter under 58.000 kr. om måneden, da de jo til gengæld får en momsnedsættelse, som vil føre til lavere forbrugerpriser”.
I januar lyttede du til alle de uvildige økonomer, som advarer mod differentieret moms.
Nu gør du ikke længere. Hvad har ændret sig?
Altså, udover at Moderaterne har givet køb på en masse af jeres politik i bytte for ministerposter.
En underviser på Jura på Københavns Universitet indleder angiveligt sine forelæsninger med dette billede.
Det er dybt forstemmende, hvis en faglig autoritet på en af landets fineste uddannelsesinstitutioner bruger sin position til at politisere over for sine studerende med et budskab, der legitimerer vold mod IDF - en værnepligtsbaseret folkehær, hvor almindelige israelere gør tjeneste og efterfølgende indgår i reserven.
Vi taler ofte om radikalisering i samfundets mørke afkroge. Men når den slags foregår i et undervisningslokale på Københavns Universitet, foran studerende der er mødt op for at modtage juridisk undervisning, så er der et alvorligt problem.
Universitetet skal være et sted for fri tænkning og faglighed - ikke for antisemitisk propaganda. Hvordan mon det er at møde ind til undervisning som studerende med israelsk baggrund - måske et familiemedlem har aftjent værnepligt i IDF - og så blive mødt af det her?
KU bør tage det her meget alvorligt.

"Jane Haug Skjoldli, a researcher and Norwegian academic recently argued that the Norway kits for the World Cup could be seen as 'hyper-masculine and right-wing extremist'"
Kulturhistorisk bevidsthed og maskulin stolthed er højreekstremisme, venner.
Helt alvorligt. Det her er holdninger fra sindsforvirrede mennesker, der gerne vil være selvdestruktive på vores allesammens vegne. De skal have professionel hjælp mod deres selvhad, så de stopper med at sprede deres ulidelige galde i samfundet.

Reminder: Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad openly vowed to violate any future ceasefire and repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is wiped off the map and the Jews disappear.
British PM Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian PM Mark Carney, and Australian PM Anthony Albanese rewarded Hamas by recognizing “Palestine.” They motivated the Muslim terrorists in Gaza to continue raping and murdering Jews.
The globalist leaders of Western nations did not recognize Palestine for peace. These demonic politicians exploited the war in the Middle East to win Muslim votes.
Earlier today, the IDF identified a vehicle moving suspiciously toward IDF soldiers near the area of Tebnit in Lebanon.
The vehicle was traveling through an active combat zone that had been evacuated. The IDF had received concrete indications that Hezbollah would direct fire toward IDF soldiers from the same area. Additional intelligence and operational information indicate that Hezbollah conducts extensive terrorist operations in this area.
Following the identification of the vehicle, and in light of the concrete indication of Hezbollah fire in the area alongside the threat posed to the soldiers, the vehicle was struck.
An initial inquiry indicates that two officers and a soldier in the Lebanese Army were inside the vehicle. The incident is under review.
It should be emphasized that the area is an active combat zone, and movement in the area requires coordination with the IDF.
The IDF is reviewing the incident, and lessons will be learned accordingly. The IDF operates against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, not against the Lebanese Army.
South Wales Police has instructed officers to log comments they feel are beyond "legitimate" criticism of Islam.
This is, exactly as I warned, a blasphemy law through the back door.
Nobody voted for this.

In 1975 Mohammad Reza Shah passed the Family Protection Act. The act raised the age of marriage from 15 to 18, banned Polygamy, and gave women the right to seek a divorce. In 1979 Khomeini repealed the act, lowering the age of consent to 9 and legalizing polygamy.
