Insane: barely disguised death threat by a EU Commissioner to the president of Georgia because he has the audacity of seeking to limit foreign meddling in his country.
Foreign meddling which by the way violates international law...
Father Thomas Hand told Israeli TV he was willing to allow his daughter to be killed by the Israeli military as long as it helps "destroy Hamas."
My latest piece takes an in-depth look at this strange and violent phenomenon in Israeli society: https://t.co/EJF0Hg8cRB
🇮🇹 Former Italian MP Stefano Apuzzo hung Palestinian flags on the balcony of the House of Representatives…
Apuzzo shouted from the balcony.. “Italian weapons are used for the genocide in Gaza…. there are over 35,000 deaths… “Enough is enough”..🇵🇸
As soon as the ICC prosecutor announced he’s seeking arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, Liberal and Conservative politicians rose - in unison - to denounce the prosector’s “sense of equivalency” It’s almost as if the Israel lobby gave them a script to read from.
"How dare you stand here, at a conference about shady money, when you yourself have taken thousands of pounds from the pro-Israel lobby?"
Needless to say, Lipservice Lammy didn't answer...
Asked by BBC if he backed Israel’s order for 1.2m civilians in north Gaza to be moved south, Lammy said: “It’s not a yes or no… I’m hoping one day to be foreign secretary and a chief diplomat, so it’s not a yes or no”.

The ADL is one of the world's most influential organizations
They train our FBI and law enforcement
They work with Google and other search engines to hide “antisemitic” articles
They work with social media like Facebook and X to censor speech
If they don't comply, they go after their ad revenue
They are a Jewish supremacist hate group and need to be banned

It is a fundamental truth of western society:
The war criminals, war mongers and war profiteers roam free, wealthy and rewarded
The peace activists, truth tellers and whistleblowers remain imprisoned, assaulted and impoverished.

🇩🇪🇮🇱 GERMANY CONFIRMS IT WOULD ARREST NETANHAYU
A spokesperson for the German chancellor confirmed the German authorities would arrest Netanyahu if he enters the country amid a proposed arrest warrant by the ICC for war crimes.
The stance has caused outrage in Israel, with many influential figures suggesting it marked another act of aggression by Germany on the Jewish people.
Israel's ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor:
"The Chief Prosecutor equates a democratic government with Hamas, thereby demonizing and delegitimizing Israel and the Jewish people.
This disgraceful political campaign could become a nail in the coffin for the West and its institutions."

“What is needed here is another Nakba…. like in 1948...when we expelled entire villages and established Jewish cities on their ruins. we must do the same now”

I would love to be happy about this news, but a two-state solution would only enforce the creation of Bantustans. Read these extracts written by Robert McCauley in 1985 on what the creation of ‘homelands’ meant for black South Africans - and then tell me this isn’t the same.
This is quite a gesture from Bahrain that has arguably the most strained relations with Iran
It is all part of a Gulf Iran rapprochement that Israel becomes ever less likely to disrupt
Just because something is in print that doesn't make it true! This requires a short explanation.
Did Sultan Mehmed II (Fatih) legislate fratricide or infanticide to secure the throne?
What's suggested below is that fratricide was "codified with a Fatwa and encouraged to the extent that a father would tell his sons to kill each other"
For years certain authors intentionally misinterpreted and spread propaganda about the Ottomans, distorting our understanding of history, and lazy authors perpetuated these falsehoods by relying on such information.
Let's examine the relevant pages from the Ottoman Kanunname (Code of Law) that address this issue. These documents are considered primary sources (or copies thereof).
First important point to note is that the relevant article is placed under the chapter: Umur-ı Saltanata müteallik tertib-ü ayin beyanındadır (The arrangement of affairs related to the Sultanate...)
This is important because it disqualifies what follows as "hukmi" and it becomes an administrative matter, rather than legal enactments in the "shar’i" sense.
So what follows concerns the matters or affairs that relate to the order of the Sultanate only.
The pertinent clause in the Kanunname translates as follows:
"To whomever from among my sons the Sultanate is bestowed (if they rebel against your authority) then it is appropriate to maintain the order of the (Muslim) world (nizam-i alem) by executing (even) your brothers (in that situation). Numerous Scholars have approved this. Let them act accordingly."
There is nothing here to suggest that a crown prince, upon assuming the Sultanate, should immediately murder their own kin. This applies only in cases of rebellion. This particular clause was understood in this manner by Ottoman scholars, based on the preceding articles and the heading under which it is placed. This is also why it is stated that "numerous 'ulema" have approved this. Where are the numerous ulema who have approved the killing of newborns by newly crowned Sultans? If you make such a claim, then you will need to produce such evidence.
Here, I have attempted to explain the relevant ruling that was put in place at that time. Some Sultans did engage in certain acts after assuming the crown that (I would say) transgressed Islamic rulings. You can talk about that specifically without falsely claiming that those acts were legislated.
