Happy Birthday @qaware 🎂
Am 1.4. war unser erster Arbeitstag im Büro Hoferstrasse. Wir haben damals gehofft das man mit Software Engineering, Architektur und innovativen Werkzeugen den Unterschied machen kann. Bis heute steht QAware für Innovation und Qualität im SW Engineering

Happy new year! 👇Ist eine sehr gute Erinnerung an eine wichtige Einschätzung eines der ganz großen Ökonomen. Ich persönlich denke (wie in den Antworten geschrieben), dass die Überproduktion von Akademikern aus vielen Gründen die Ursache für den Niedergang darstellt. 1/2

Ich habe umfangreiche Unterlagen aus dem Untersuchungsauschuss zum Atomausstieg zugespielt bekommen und sie in den letzten Wochen für die @NZZ ausgewertet. Das Ergebnis: Die Grünen missbrauchen Steuergeld, um Stimmung zu machen gegen die Kernenergie — auf der ganzen Welt. 🪡

In Amsterdam haben hunderte Bewohner vergangene Nacht angefangen Israelis und Juden durch die Stadt zu jagen - mit Messern, mit Autos, einige sind vermisst/melden sich nicht zurück bei ihren Freunden und Familien 💔.

Es bricht uns das Herz, das zu sehen 💔 Wir haben davor gewarnt, dass Geschichte sich wiederholt und dies ist ein weiterer Schritt genau dorthin (Anmerkung: wir stehen kurz vor dem Jahrestag der Reichspogromnacht).

I'm deeply concerned that this may be a historic mistake.

I find it hard to reconcile that the Green Party has overcome its traditional aversion to military spending and defense in such a pragmatic manner, while remaining ideologically blinded on nuclear energy. 1/2

Incredible speech: Arnold Schwarzenegger slams Germany for closing nuclear plants while claiming a fossil fuel emergency to its citizens!

Schwarzenegger, the most famous living Austrian, speaking Thursday in Vienna, also praises California for saving Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.

Wie kommen die Tunnel nach Gaza?
Und warum kann das AA sagen, dass die Terrortunnel nicht von deutschem Geld gebaut wurden?

Wir finden die Antwort mit "Follow the money".

Unter DE-1-199865718 findet sich die Fördermaßnahme "Abwasserentsorgung Gaza-Mitte", Auszahlungsbetrag 79.876.393,50 €.

Abwasserentsorgung geschieht durch... Abwasserentsorgungs..... TUNNEL.
Natürlich ist der deutschen Regierung SEHR daran gelegen, dass eine Terrororganisation niemals Steuergeld bekommt, um sie gegen Israel einzusetzen, Staatsräson und so.
Daher wurde das Projekt vergeben an den "zuverlässigen" Umsetzungspartner: PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION.
Die PLO fordert in Artikel 22 ihrer Charta immer noch die Zerstörung Israel.

Ja, korrekt, die PLO bekam 80 Millionen Euro, um Tunnel in Gaza zu bauen.
Und weil die PLO so vertrauenswürdig ist, wurde das Projekt selbstverständlich NICHT evaluiert:
Status: Beendet
Evaluierung: Nein

BREAKING: 🇨🇿 Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová has just called to leave the UN for cheering Hamas terrorists. “Exactly 3 weeks ago, Hamas murdered over 1400 Israelis, more victims for their population than the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda murdered in the US on 9/11. And only 14 countries, including ours, have spoken out clearly and understandably against this unprecedented terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas terrorists! I am ashamed of the UN. In my opinion, the Czech Republic has no place in an organization that cheers on terrorists and does not respect the fundamental right to self-defence. Let's get out.”

Man kann nicht Israels Sicherheit zur Staatsräson erklären und sich dann bei einer Abstimmung über ein Thema, das für Israels Sicherheit lebenswichtig ist, enthalten.

Das geht einfach nicht. Ein Minimum an Konsistenz zwischen Reden und Handeln ist nötig.

These fuel tanks are inside Gaza.

They contain more than 500,000 liters of fuel.

Ask Hamas if you can have some.

Must-read speech on the legality of Israel's fight against Hamas, delivered in 🇬🇧 House of Lords yesterday by Lord Guglielmo Verdirame KC, professor and barrister in public international law:

“There has been a lot of talk about proportionality in the law on self-defence. I refer to the words that the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, used a few days ago on the test of proportionality. It does not mean that the defensive force has to be equal to the force used in the armed attack. Proportionality means that you can use force that is proportionate to the defensive objective, which is to stop, to repel and to prevent further attacks.

Israel has described its war aims as the destruction of Hamas’s capability. From a legal perspective, these war aims are consistent with proportionality in the law of self-defence, given what Hamas says it does and what Hamas has done and continues to do.

Asking a state that is acting in self-defence to agree to a ceasefire before its lawful defensive objectives have been met is, in effect, asking that state to stop defending itself. For such calls to be reasonable and credible, they must be accompanied by a concrete proposal setting out how Israel’s legitimate defensive goals against Hamas will be met through other means. It is not an answer to say that Israel has to conclude a peace treaty, because Hamas is not interested in a peace treaty.

Proportionality also applies in the law that governs the conduct of hostilities, not only in self-defence. The law of armed conflict requires that in every attack posing a risk to civilian life, that risk must not be excessive in relation to the military advantage that is anticipated.

That rule does not mean, even when scrupulously observed, that civilians will not tragically lose their lives in an armed conflict. The law of armed conflict, at its best, can mitigate the horrors of war but it cannot eliminate them.

The great challenge in this conflict is that Hamas is the kind of belligerent that cynically exploits these rules by putting civilians under its control at risk and even using them to seek immunity for its military operations, military equipment and military personnel. An analysis of the application of the rules on proportionality in targeting in this conflict must always begin with this fact.

There has also been some discussion about siege warfare. The UK manual of the law of armed conflict, reflecting the Government’s official legal position—it is a Ministry of Defence document—says:

“Siege is a legitimate method of warfare … It would be unlawful to besiege an undefended town since it could be occupied without resistance”.

Gaza is not an undefended town. It is true that obligations apply to the besieging forces when civilians are caught within the area that is being encircled, and those obligations include agreeing to the passage of humanitarian relief by third parties. But it is not correct to say that encircling an area with civilians in it is not permitted by the laws of war.

A further point that concerns the laws of war is also of particular relevance to the British Government’s practice. It has already been mentioned that the Government have taken the view that Gaza remains under Israeli occupation, even though Israel pulled out in 2005.

The traditional view until 2005 was that occupation required physical presence in the territory. That view is consistent with Article 42 of the Hague regulations of 1907, which states that a territory is occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the occupying power.

Again, it is also the view taken by the UK manual of the law of armed conflict, which reflects the UK’s official legal position and states that occupation ceases as soon as the occupying power evacuates the area. The European Court of Human Rights, in its jurisprudence, has also adopted a similar approach to occupation.

So I have always been rather baffled by the British Government’s position on this issue, which, as far as I know, has not changed. Yes, it is true that Israel has exercised significant control over the airspace and in the maritime areas, but even as a matter of plain geography it takes two—Israel and Egypt —to control the land access points to Gaza.

More fundamentally, it is Hamas that has been responsible for the government and administration of Gaza. I appreciate that this is a legal matter on which the Minister may not want to respond immediately but it is an important one, because the legal fiction that Israel was still the occupying power under the laws of armed conflict has been relentlessly exploited by Hamas to blame Israel for everything, while using the effective control that it has over the territory, the people and the resources to wage war.

On a final note, I would like to say something briefly on the way in which the war is being reported. When a serious allegation is made, particularly one that could constitute a war crime, the immediate response of the law-abiding belligerent will be to say, “We are investigating”.

The non-law-abiding belligerent, by contrast, will forthwith blame the other side and even provide surprisingly precise casualty figures. The duty to investigate is one of the most important ones in armed conflict.

What happened in the way in which the strike on the hospital was reported is that the side that professes no interest whatever in complying with the laws of armed conflict was rewarded with the headlines that it was seeking.”

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Do not excuse these calls for destroying Israel and killing Jews as if they are just dumb students in Che Guevara shirts. Hamas committed one of the most horrific terror attacks in memory just a few weeks ago. Endorsing their genocidal creed is abhorrent.

[Ambassador Gilad Erdan גלעד ארדן @giladerdan1]

The shocking speech by the @UN Secretary-General at the Security Council meeting, while rockets are being fired at all of Israel, proved conclusively, beyond any doubt, that the Secretary-General is completely disconnected from the reality in our region and that he views the massacre committed by Nazi Hamas terrorists in a distorted and immoral manner.

His statement that, “the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” expressed an understanding for terrorism and murder. It’s really unfathomable. It’s truly sad that the head of an organization that arose after the Holocaust holds such horrible views. A tragedy!
