@novaramedia Super impressed by the nonviolent discipline of all those activists. Bravo! Well done also to the person who filmed the Danish police violence, and who refused to be pushed away. Thank you for your witness!
@derJamesJackson Great question, great interview. Tilo Jung was kind and compassionate, and let the contradictions of Felix Banaszak's position sit there, but not in a mean "gotcha!" way. Just human.
With activists – including an Irish citizen – facing a “show trial” in Germany, The Ditch can reveal the weapons factory they’re accused of vandalising is today sending a laser system for marking human targets to Tel Aviv.

@Sunniva_Rose@ministerBZ Banning imports from Jewish settlements in OPT, while helping Dutch companies launder profits from Israel's occupation - as Booking does, for example - isn't upholding international law. It's antisemitic.
I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this.
My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on.

Iran’s latest AI Lego video marks a significant pivot. Instead of taunting the US military, it reflects a new chapter in which Tehran will seek peace by reaching out directly to the American people, bypassing the US government. It's a mirror image of the US strategy of the past decades.
Some of the lines are quite noteworthy and will likely resonate with the anti-establishment sentiments prevailing among American youth in particular:
"I love the constitution, the way it was meant. But not the way your leaders bypass consent..."
Tonight, the world is witnessing the export of the Israeli military’s doctrine of engineered abandonment. In a violent raid in international waters, Israeli naval forces have intercepted, boarded, and systematically disabled various boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
After smashing engines and destroying navigation arrays, the military retreated—intentionally leaving hundreds of civilians stranded on powerless, broken vessels directly in the path of a massive approaching storm. Furthermore, communications with multiple vessels have been jammed, severing their ability to coordinate or signal for help.
While flotilla participants face a calculated death trap at sea, the people of Gaza remain the primary targets of a relentless, years-long campaign of starvation and slaughter. The logic being deployed tonight is identical: the Israeli state creates the conditions for death, sabotages the means of survival, and then waits for "nature" or "circumstance" to finish the job.
@zeitonline I don't get why they don't just propose a bill criminalising Palestine solidarity directly. Why the subterfuge about "Israel's right to exist"?
Have you ever thought about how investigative journalists find out who owns a company?
One way is looking up its "ultimate beneficial owner" — not the next highest corporate layer, but the person at the top of the chain — in an official registry.
But in many countries, access to these registries has been severely restricted. Here's my story on why, and what the prospects are for better transparency in the future.
It's not the sexiest topic, but this stuff is really fundamental in enabling journalism that can hold powerful bad actors to account.

Commissioner Von Der Leyen wants to remove Irelands veto on foreign affairs at the same time as the Irish Government wants to remove the triple lock on where we send Irish Defence Forces.
