In Albania THE PEOPLE (ordinary citizens en masse) have:
(1) understood the link btw int'l plutocracy and the assault on national sovereignty

A case-study of people both making full use of and preserving their self-determination.
My co-author and friend, Harvard-trained tenure-track academic based in the USA, was denied entry to Italy for an academic conference as a Turkish citizen. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case, and reflects what seems to be a policy across many EU countries recently.
En 1942, Hitler, que no toleraba que se fume en su presencia, fue a Finlandia a pedir tropas a Mannerheim.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things.

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
