No better reason why #EU & #NATO should urgently deploy a brigade in #Brcko if they want to save peace, #Bosnia's integrity and their own credibility. #BIH #EUFOR

“Srba ima kao lista, nema više komunista. Za krst, za krst, Nemanjića, za slavu, za slavu, Obilića”, pjevaju pripadnici SAJ-a MUP-a RS tokom defilea na obilježavanju neustavnog dana RS

Thank you so much, @AndreasvBrandt @Ambtedesco @GermaniaItalia for having us and your great hospitality! @commvisory @Alliance4Europe @CamGeopolitics @centrostudiusa @HSSde

[Ambassador Andreas von Brandt @AndreasvBrandt]

Interrelatedness of international food security + peace/stability.

It was an honor to meet with German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to discuss the future of Jewish life in Europe and the need to confront rising antisemitism.

Grateful for his commitment to protecting democracy and strengthening our shared values. 🇩🇪✡️

[CICA @CicaSecretariat]

#CICA is spotlighted in analytical piece by security expert Oliver Rolofs — “CICA Gains Weight: Kazakhstan Claims Leadership Role” — underscoring #CICA’s emergence as vital pan-Asian platform for #dialogue, trust-building & cooperative #security in rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape

“In an era of renewed geopolitical tension, an alternative platform is emerging — the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia.”

The article draws historic parallel from #HelsinkiProcess to modern-day #CICA, highlighting its unique role in fostering consensus, #connectivity & collective solutions across one of the world’s most diverse regions

EU-Beitrittsverhandlungen mit #Bosnien? Ausgerechnet mit jenem Land, dessen Regierung die eigene Bevölkerung gegen ein Treffen jüdischer Bürger Europas im eigenen Land aufstachelt? Sind das wirklich unsere Werte? Was für eine Schande. https://t.co/50e0sKjzTO

[Oliver Rolofs @ORolofs]

We Europeans now have the choice: Finally wake up, take Action, invest independently and decisively in defense and resilience on a large scale and not let #Ukraine fall or sign up for Russian language courses…

[Aspen Germany @AspenGermany]

„Am heutigen Holocaust-Gedenktag, 80 Jahre nach der Befreiung von Auschwitz-Birkenau, erinnern wir uns an die unfassbaren Verbrechen der Schoah. Unsere Verantwortung heute bleibt klar: Erinnern heißt handeln. Wir bekämpfen Judenhass entschlossen und überall." (tm) #WeRemember

[Peter R. Neumann @PeterRNeumann]

Die Nachrichtendienste hätten von Anfang an Teil der #Zeitenwende sein sollen. Für eine ernsthafte Sicherheitspolitik sind sie genauso wichtig wie das Militär. Doch Deutschland hinkt seinen Partnern in diesem Bereich weit hinterher. Was muss passieren? 1/

Weil wir den Schuss noch nicht gehört haben…

[Roderich Kiesewetter🇪🇺🇩🇪🇮🇱🇺🇦 @RKiesewetter]

Leute, das muss sich endlich ändern und zwar schnell: Die Bundeswehr erreicht nicht annährend die MCR der NATO, nicht annährend wird der Verteidigungsetat in Richtung 3 Prozent gehoben, die 2%/BIP werden nur durch Tricks erreicht. 1 https://t.co/V5RW49PICi

#Zivilschutz Meinung: für jeden Artikel der in die Ukraine geht, sollten wir zwei Artikel auf unsere Beschaffungsliste setzen und einlagern.

[Oliver Rolofs @ORolofs]

Warum es nicht reicht, mit dem Begriff „Zeitenwende“ den Bevölkerungs- und Katastrophenschutz für die aktuelle Bedrohungslage fit zu machen. Wie immer gut von @JvondenBerken analysiert.

[Jens von den Berken @JvondenBerken]

Heeresstruktur und Bevölkerungsschutz - ein Kurzvergleich.
Je nach Aufgaben erfolgt eine Anpassung der Strukturen. Das Heer befindet sich - je nach Zählweise - in Struktur Nr 10.
Und der Bevölkerungsschutz? Ein Thread.

"For a long time, Berlin and Brussels refused to believe Iran was pursuing a policy of aggression in the Middle East...

This is a special sign in Germany's capital these days. #Jewish life has shown itself visibly, cheerfully and brightly with a new Torah for #Berlin.

[Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt @ChiefRabbiPG]

While the world rejoices upon Julian Assange’s release, I am reminded of the danger he caused to many around the world.

When the Wikileaks story broke I was notified by the US Embassy in Moscow that my conversations with the US Ambassador about the welfare of the Russian Jewish community were going to be published.

When criminals are treated like freedom fighters and their crimes are not prosecuted, we encourage the same from others.

[Michael Thaidigsmann @Thaidigsmann]

The latest annual report by Germany's domestic intelligence service @BfV_Bund makes for some shocking reading. "Crimes in the Context of the Middle Eastern Conflict" increased by up 17,000 percent...

[Oliver Rolofs @ORolofs]

@UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine Ms. Albanese is another reason why the United Nations is in a deep credibility crisis & why the rules-based international system as a whole is eroding. It is shameful & an invitation to aggressors & terrorists to continue.

[Michael Thaidigsmann @Thaidigsmann]

Reading between the lines here:

Ad 1. If the Palestinians in Gaza or the entire territory want Hamas, it's their right to elect them (as they have done previously)

Ad 2. Even if there is a peace agreement, signed by Palestinians and Israelis alike, East Jerusalem must be given to the Palestinians. Although there never was a Palestinian state that included Jerusalem.

Ad 3. Although Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October and broke the ceasefire a thousand times, Israel needs to pay reparations (presumably to Hamas, whom Albanese wants to continue to run Gaza, Insh'Allah...)

Ad 4: While Israel must be re-educated, no such demand is made concerning Hamas or the Palestinians. They are just victims of Israeli aggression.

These are the words of an UN special envoy who has gone "native".

Großer Text von Herta Müller über Hamas, Gaza und die westliche Reaktion auf den 7. Oktober.

"Moral clarity" würde man das im Englischen nennen.

On the way back from #Aachen from a moving @KarlspreisAC ceremony, where I had the honor to accompany the 2024 Charlemagne Prize laureate @europeanrabbis @PinchasRabbi. The 2024 prize sent out a clear signal for freedom, Jewish life in Europe & the fight against anti-Semitism.

[Oliver Rolofs @ORolofs]

@PinchasRabbi I am very much looking forward to join you in Aachen next week for the awarding of the @KarlspreisAC Charlemagne Prize to you & the European Jewish communities. It is very much deserved in times like these, when Jewish life in Europe must have all our attention & support.
