It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.
‘Never, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense’. These famous words which Winston Churchill pronounced in 1941 were very well and with great dignity illustrated tonight by @ZelenskyyUa.
Toen de nazi's de communisten arresteerden, heb ik gezwegen;
ik was immers geen communist.
Toen ze de sociaaldemocraten gevangenzetten, heb ik gezwegen;
ik was immers geen sociaaldemocraat.
Toen ze de vakbondsleden kwamen halen, heb ik niet geprotesteerd;
ik was immers geen vakbondslid.
Toen ze de Joden opsloten, heb ik niet geprotesteerd;
ik was immers geen Jood.
Toen ze mij kwamen halen
was er niemand meer, die nog protesteren kon.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

A joke from Moscow.
- Whats the difference between the Hitler-Stalin Pact and the Putin-Trump Pact?
- With the Hitler-Stalin Pact the secret protocols were added to the pact, with the Putin-Trump Pact its not clear if the pact will be added to the secret protocols.
The explosions in Lebanon seem to have been targeted, but had heavy, indiscriminate collateral damages among civilians: children were killed.
The situation is extremely worrying.
I can only condemn these attacks that endanger Lebanon’s security & stability
