This shows that Germany obviously still doesn't get it: their "historical responsibility" isn't to support Israel even as they commit genocide.
When the lesson of Nazism is obviously a universal one about justice, they instead think it's a blood debt to a particular people.
Which is, when you think about it, the Nazi way of looking at it: hierarchizing peoples and assigning collective responsibility - or collective impunity - on that basis.
Germany's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council ends in crushing failure
After Germany's reactions to events in Gaza, Venezuela, Lebanon and Iran, no one could believe that "its utmost priority will be respect for the rules of international law", if elected
Viele von uns haben gewarnt. Das historische Scheitern Deutschlands bei der Wahl um einen Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat – bereits im ersten Wahlgang – bestätigt dies eindrucksvoll. Deutschlands internationale Glaubwürdigkeit hat unter der „Drecksarbeit“-Außenpolitik massiv gelitten.
Israeli soldier who killed one of the Israeli hostages explains to the mother of that hostage that this happened because Israeli soldiers were instructed to kill all males in Gaza, regardless of age.
Let that sink in.
La responsabilidad pública también implica la obligación moral de no mirar hacia otro lado.
Es un honor otorgar la Orden del Mérito Civil a una voz que sostiene la conciencia del mundo: @FranceskAlbs, Relatora Especial de la ONU en el territorio palestino ocupado.
LOL!
This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea."
So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂
This is a scene straight out of Kafka...
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
🇮🇹 The entire Italian Parliament rose to their feet to applaud as opposition member Elly Schlein praised her opponent Giorgia Meloni and His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for their commitment to peace 🕊
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a response to JD Vance's comments about Pope Leo XIV:
'For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’
That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.
When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars'
“My life has become a rollercoaster,” she says in reference to the death threats and sanctions. “I never imagined living without a bank card, but I do. People help me. My freedom is stronger than my fear. You are defeated the moment you stop fighting.”

Unreal... The sheer chutzpah of calling China an "unreliable global partner" in this context when you're the ones who caused the disruption.
Like a pyromaniac lecturing someone for buying too many fire extinguishers during a fire they started.
@moritz_gathmann Das ist aber nicht "der EU" zu danken, sondern zuallererst der immer noch starken Zivilgesellschaft in Ungarn. "Die EU" tut nichts, um den Verfall der Grundrechte bei "Partnern" wie Türkei oder Israel zu stoppen, im Gegenteil, diese Länder werden hofiert.
In the same sentence, Kallas manages to correctly describe Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "Russia’s war of aggression" while describing Israel & the US's war of aggression against Iran as solely "the war in the Middle East."
No mention of the culprit, the victim, or the crime. IN THE SAME SENTENCE.
