Artık Türkiye'de seçilmiş bir iktidar eliyle bir darbe yapılmış ama her darbenin geçici niteliği vardır ya askeri darbeyi yapan generaller ne der 'Bu geçici merak etmeyin, bir süre sonra demokrasiye geçeceğiz’ derler ama bunların normal bir demokrasiye geçme niyetinin de olmayacağı bir rejim değişikliğini maalesef Türkiye’de uygulamaya çalışıyorlar"

Bu iki genç yönetmen, muhteşem belgeselleriyle ve ek olarak ödül töreninde yaptıkları iki dakikalık konuşmalarıyla tüm Dünya'ya nasıl birlikte mücadele edilebileceğini gösterirken şu anki soykırımın en büyük destekçisini de cesurca işaret ederek gösterdiler. Gönülden kutlarım!
İsrailli Yuval Abraham ve Filistinli Basel Adra'nın Batı Şeria'daki ihlalleri anlattığı belgeseli "No Other Land" Oscar kazandı.
İki yönetmen iki dakikalık konuşmasında İsrail ve ABD'nin soykırım ve tehcir politikasını yerle bir etti.
Müthiş bir olay.
A distinct honor to participate in Athens Energy Summit, sharing the panel with Dep. Minister @ASdoukou, ENAON’s B. Morgante, @Mathioum, DESFA’s M. Thomadakis, and TAP’s I. Maris on “Renewed perspectives for the role of oil and gas in the Mediterranean”. Pragmatism will be key.
MUNICH PEACE RALLY. 16th February 2025
Friends, Germans, citizens from all over, sisters and brothers,
We once had a dream. It was the dream of what Europe could have been: Not a single market, a single currency or a common budget. No, we dreamt of Europe as a Peace with Justice Project. That dream has gone, it evaporated in the cold hard light that woke us up.
Fifteen years ago, a bankers’ crisis led to austerity for the majority across Europe and massive money printing for the few. It was the End of Justice and the beginning of Europe’s long winter, of Germany’s long winter – the winter of deindustrialisation, stagnation, of a vicious class war waged against the majority in every country. And before we knew it fascism and war were in the air - again.
To stop the victims of their austerity from questioning them, the ruling class terrorise you. You heard Herr Pistorius, Germany’s defence minister, say that Putin is the new Hitler an we, peace activists, are Putin’s appeasers – his useful idiots. I ask Mr Pistorius, Mrs von der Leyen, Mr Mertz:
“If you truly think that Putin is no different to Hitler, then why are you not sending allied soldiers immediately to take Moscow and drag Putin through a New Nuremberg Trial or at least force him to commit suicide in a Moscow bunker? Do you not see how cowardly it is to send weapons to Ukraine and to expect exhausted Ukrainians to take Moscow, or even the Crimea?”
The truth is that our rulers do not really think Putin is the new Hitler. After all they did excellent business with him for decades. No, they are in the business of a never-ending, extremely profitable – for them – war. That’s what they want.
Having failed to invest in the technologies of the future, in our social infrastructure, Europe’s ruling class is banking on guns and bombs, on drones and iron domes. And they want to spend your money on them. And if this means endless deaths in the killing fields of Ukraine, they don’t give a damn.
Friends, Germans, demonstrators from all over, comrades, since we were here last year, there have been two major developments: The International Criminal Court has acknowldged the genocide of Palestinians and issued arrest warrants for the Israeli PM and his former Defence Minister. And Donald Trump has returned to the White House openly advocating the completion of the Palestinians’ genocide.
Why am I talking about Palestine again here in Munich? Why this fixation with Palestine? First, because if this were 1938 and it was the morning after Kristallnacht, we would have only one duty: to defend the Jewish people from Nazi pogroms. Today we have a similar duty: to defend the Palestinian people from genocide. Butthere is also another reason:
What started in Gaza does not stay in Gaza! Such brutality cannot be contained, especially when our leaders gave the supremacist settlers the green light to commit genocide with our weapons. With their flag projected on our Parliaments, the ideology of supremacism was reinforced here in Germany, in the Netherlands, in Greece, in Spain, in Italy. You can see this in the polls and I fear you will see it on election night soon.
Eighty years after defeating the Nazis…
Eighty years since the peoples’ representatives gathered in the United Nations to proclaim NEVER AGAIN,…
it is happening AGAIN! With our governments’ blessing…
By allowing international law to die in Palestine, they killed international law everywhere, including here in Germany. For international law either applies to everyone or it applies to no one. This is why we are here in Munich today. To say once more: NEVER AGAIN! ANYWHERE!
To tell the fools in government
· who behave as if the despicable crimes of the Holocaust can be washed clean in rivers of Palestinian blood, and
· who think that the authoritarianism of Putin will be stemmed by piles of the dead bodies of more and more Ukrainians,
that we are here to stop them – that we are here to seize the day, today, so that, tomorrow, we can dream a new dream of Peace with Justice.
Carpe DiEM!
Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class, and they are intent on winning.
But this is what I know:
The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans come together to demand a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthy few.
#BREAKING The Economist reports that the number of Russians moving from the Greek side of Cyprus to the Turkish side of the island has increased due to Western sanctions.
While the exact number of Russians currently living in the northern part of the island is unknown, Nicosia-based demographer Mete Hatay estimates that around 20,000 Russians and Ukrainians may reside in this region.
However, the relocation of thousands of Russians is complicating the situation in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which has a population of just over 550,000. In comparison, the Greek side of the island is home to more than 1 million people.
A million dollar question! What is the population of northern #Cyprus? In this episode of Figure It, @SapientaCY director @FionaMullenCY hosts senior @PRIOCyprus reseacher @MeteHatay1 to discuss this much speculated issue with numbers.

Today I met with Palestinian civilians at the General Hospital in Al Arish, Egypt.
It’s impossible not to feel heartbroken by the accounts of those injured or separated from their families.
It’s time for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
It’s time to silence the guns.
