German. Full solidarity with Ukraine!

Amplifying Ukrainians, background information, random stuff.

Only a Ukrainian victory will mean peace in Europe!

A Pole, a Russian and a Ukrainian in the hospital.
The babies are mixed up for them.
The Ukrainian shouts "Slava Ukraini."
One child rises, the Ukrainian takes him and leaves.
The Pole takes the other baby and goes to the door.
Russian: Do you care which one?
Pole: I know it's mine.
Russian: how?
Pole: Because when the Ukrainian shouted, mine smiled, and yours shit himself....

I once asked Henry Kissinger after a press conference what a superpower should do to avoid looking weak. ‘Don’t start a war,’ he said. He meant Vietnam, but it seems particularly relevant now.

Folks, the most AMAZING thing happened. I am on my way to Hamburg, where the GOAT of German talk hosts (fellow Americans: think Joe Rogan) Markus Lanz has invited me because of my viral Tweet yesterday where I was just being nice to Germany and its bakeries. Only possible in 🇩🇪.

@illnevercallitx I'll say it: We should not be on the same team as a proto-authoritarian US nor with anybody attacking democratic values in the US.

Likewise, the current US-administration works actively against the EU and this should be regarded as hostile.

Another day for the American tourist here in Germany. Their grocery stores are just awesome. You can buy a huge bag full of stuff for just 13 Euros! And this veggie they call Feldsalat - AMAZING!

Reading about Nazis in postwar Berlin and America who denied they were Nazis or who say, concerning the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Jews and homosexuals, "I cannot possibly remember every paper I signed."

@ai_sentience Because of your very own spiritual starvation and loneliness.

I certainly do not share that experience.

The 1948 Nakba is very well known, but the ethnic cleansing of 1967 is discussed far lesn, ad it was utterly horrific. Historian Adam Raz has p,ublishsed a well-resourced account in Haaretz today, built on Israeli documents. Here are the main findings:

1) Israel expelled and drove out roughly 300,000 Arabs in 1967, about 200,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and about 120,000 Syrians from the Golan, where only some 6,000 of an estimated 130,000 remained. One soldier described the Gaza raids: "We grabbed guys, stood them up and eliminated them. In hindsight it looks like murder."

2) This was not an accident; it was intentional policy, prepared for since the early 1960s. Defense Minister Dayan wanted the West Bank emptied and repeatedly welcomed reports of flight. Many villages were destroyed. The KKL later planted Canada Park over the ruins of Imwas, Beit Nuba and Yalu. One soldier said the columns of expelled families reminded him of Jews "trudging through occupied Europe," and his heart sank at the sight.

3) Those trying to return were slaughtered. Troops were ordered to shoot to kill without warning. When one soldier asked whether to fire even if he heard babies crying, the answer was: "Don't be a girl." The IDF itself reported nearly 150 Palestinians killed this way by early September, and Chief of Staff Rabin confirmed these were the standing orders.

4) Crimes were widespread: systematic looting, the execution of unarmed prisoners and civilians, and the bulldozing of Golan villages "so there'd be nowhere to return to." One of the officers who ordered prisoners executed was Moshe Levi — later IDF Chief of Staff. A soldier wrote to his girlfriend that they had turned Sinai into a "valley of slaughter," adding: "I saw too many murders to cry."

5) The legal warnings were ignored. In December 1967, Foreign Ministry legal adviser Theodor Meron wrote that the expulsions were "a grave breach of the Geneva Convention." His summary line captures the whole episode: the Ministerial Committee for Security Affairs "decided to approve the policy anyway."

This sounds incredibly familiar, doesn't it? This is the Israeli way of war, based one slaughter and ethnic cleansing. Nothing changed.

Fakt ist, dass Russland uns im August 2022 das Gas abgedreht hat. Mit dem Ziel, Deutschland in eine Energiekrise zu stürzen. Sollte man im Hinterkopf behalten, wenn man für Business nach St. Petersburg fährt.

Good point.

People who have zero background in neuroscience and consciousness studies (I have a background in both) just confidently declaring that artificial consciousness is possible. What a joke!

Es ist in Deutschland nicht möglich, 200 Milliarden hinterzogene Steuern aufzuspüren.
Es muss aber möglich sein, einem Bürgergeld-Empfänger nachzuweisen, dass er zweistellige Eurobeträge hortet.
