Hello from Damascus. The new Syria has not fired weapons at Syria, but Israel is bombing and occupying Syria's territory, building new fortifications, and so on. What studies..
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine." - General William Tecumseh Sherman
Excuse me, I think there’s been a mistake, I need to speak with the manager. I was supposed to be part of the in-group the law protects but does not bind, not the out-group it binds but does not protect.
This is a critical point. #Peace in #EU did not come from holding grudges against those who did you wrong. It came from forgiveness, when the former perpetrator asked for it.
#Ukraine and everyone else needs to be ready to do just that, when, and if, #Russia are honestly asking.
This is Ukraine's UN rep wanting "no reconciliation with Russia for centuries". In other words, future generations ought to be constrained by the (admittedly terrible) events of the present, and Russia should be encouraged to feel at permanent war with Ukraine. Appalling.
Von der rechtsextremen AfD angefragte Zahlen landen unkritisch in allen großen Medien. Das Problem: 96 % dieser präsentierten „Angriffe“ sind keine Attacken auf Parteivertreter. Und auch diese Zahlen sind keine bestätigten Fälle. https://t.co/fIhcwSpOjI
Exclusive: US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau instructed senior State Department officials to facilitate and approve a visa for a fugitive former Polish cabinet minister, allowing him to flee to the US from Hungary, sources told Reuters https://t.co/nnzSXXEhAG
I see that some commentators were wondering what is written in Hebrew, some of them included pure anti-Semitic content, and would be blocked soon.
Yes, I’m Israeli. Yes, I’m Jewish.
And yes, I’m working day and night to cover the reality in the West Bank as part of my job as a correspondent for Haaretz.
The tweet:
Palestinian report and documentation from the village of Atara today.
A settler abuses a tied dog, and repeatedly hits it on the head in the yard of a Palestinian house. At the same time, his friends grazed sheep between the houses and terrorized the residents who were hiding in them.
An outpost was established in Area B on the lands of the village of Atara last summer. The residents of the houses adjacent to the outpost were first expelled by military order (which expired) and for months since then have been afraid to return to their homes while the outpost remains in the area. Their fear is clear.
דיווח ותיעוד מהכפר עטארה היום.
מתנחל מתעלל בכלב קשור, וחובט ממושכות בראשו בחצר בית פלסטיני. במקביל חבריו רעו צאן בין הבתים והילכו אימים על התושבים הספונים בהם.
באדמות הכפר עטארה הוקם בקיץ שעבר מאחז בשטח B. תושבי הבתים הסמוכים למאחז גורשו תחילה בצו צבאי, ומאז במשך חודשים חוששים לחזור לבתיהם בעוד המאחז נותר בשטח.
אפשר להבין את חששם.
שבת שלום.
Clear, concise description of how sky-high inflation has worsened inequality in Turkey, and how the government policy has helped hollow out the middle class over the past five years

Mitbekommen? Die AfD verlor am Sonntag alle Bürgermeisterwahlen im Osten, haushoch – sogar in ihren eigenen Hochburgen. Der NDR zum Beispiel berichtet oft über AfD-Erfolge – aber erwähnt jetzt nicht die Niederlagen. https://t.co/pUEWoF84EM
@washingtonpost@noahjrobertson@ellen_fra would you be able to clarify this particular part? It sounds like EU PURL money to provide Ukraine with weapons will be used, but the parts produced using the money will be taken by the USA and no compemsation to EU or Ukraine provided?
„Noch nie hat eine Partei so stumm um ihr Überleben gekämpft. Aber wird denn überhaupt gekämpft? Oder ist "kämpfen" für die SPD auch nur noch ein anderes Wort für weiter regieren?“
Die Brandmauer zur AfD stehe auch im Europaparlament – das beteuerte CSU-Politiker Manfred Weber noch vor kurzem. Doch es gab eine gemeinsame Chat-Gruppe und ein Treffen.

@SaladinAlDronni Happy to see that german boomers and polish tourists show the same signs of complete obliviousness to anything happening in the world.
European integration in action.
