Op-ed - A war that metastasized: How Israel made itself responsible for Gaza, and for all the death and destruction there timesofisrael.com/how-israel-mad… via @timesofisrael

Dear @bueti, nice to see you on the front page of @SCMPNews today – with a link to this article: sc.mp/m5jv2. Greetings from Hong Kong!

🔴#Exklusiv Das verbirgt sich u.a. hinter den geschwärzten Stellen des #Sudhof-Berichts: Vergleich mit dem #Corona-Maskenhändler #Emix, Hinweise darauf, dass Ex-Minister #Spahn persönlich eingebunden war. WDR, NDR und SZ liegt der komplette Bericht vor👇tagesschau.de/investigativ/n…

Quoted from the FT: “The world’s leading economies have agreed to a deal to spare the US’s largest companies from paying more corporate tax overseas, throwing into doubt the status of the biggest global tax deal in over a century.” This is very sad. Nobody who cares about the…

1/ Nach der Befragung von Ministerin Warken im Gesundheitsausschuss ist klar: Beim Spahn-Skandal geht es längst nicht mehr um Masken – sondern um Machtmissbrauch im Amt. Ein Netzwerk hat sich in der Pandemie Staat & Steuergeld zur Beute gemacht. Und schützt sich bis heute selbst.

Unbedingt sehenswert: eine große Reportage des NDR zur Umgehung der Wirtschaftssanktionen durch die marode Schattenflotte, die unter falscher Fahne russisches Rohöl über die Ostsee exportiert – dieser Skandal wurde wesentlich durch @robin_j_brooks ans Licht gebracht.

I don’t want to hear any 🇪🇺 statement that the 🇺🇸 has the right to defend itself. This is a clearcut violation of international law.

Rather than repeating the term mindlessly, journalists should ask: "preemptive of what?" Absent an imminent & specific armed attack that cannot be avoided except with force, "preemptive" strikes are straightforwardly illegal. No attack meeting those criteria is even claimed. 1/4

Excellent piece by ⁦@Shahinvallee⁩ arguing that the EU need to do a U-turn on its trade policy response to Trump ip-quarterly.com/en/how-eu-botc…

Russia is in real trouble. Western sanctions have cut daily seaborne oil exports from 4 million barrels per day in January 2025 to 3 million now. This is before UK and EU sanctions - announced this month - have even fully hit. Putin's money machine is under real pressure now...

It’s a disgrace to see Ambassador @Ron_Prosor spreading this defamatory misinformation, it further undermines the reputation of the State of Israel and it’s a disservice to every student who suffers from antisemitic attacks.

Why has the dollar weakened in the face of rising tariffs and a rise in US yields relative to its trading partners? A little Easter thread: bsky.app/profile/christ…

Markets show signs of fleeing the dollar. Is the euro ready to challenge USD dominance and become the global safe asset? With @JohnHCochrane and Klaus Masuch, we explore this and preview our book "Crisis Cycle." Eurozone reform is critical. Read our take siliconcontinent.com/p/is-the-euro-…

A friendly reminder to US readers still using that burning platform called X: when your government abandons the rule of law by baselessly labelling residents as terrorists, illegally deporting them and ignoring Supreme Court rulings, you should know you're on the highway to hell.
