A vast majority of 73% of Germans believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza This silent majority is compelled and coerced not to speak up - their opinions almost not at all represented in German discourse
Bei der Allensbach-Umfrage, die heute erschienen ist, gaben 73% der Befragten an, dass das, was Israel in Gaza macht, ein Völkermord sei. Nur 9% widersprachen.
Seuraavana päivänä kuljettajaan liittyvät druusijoukot perustivat useita tarkastuspisteitä ja kidnappasivat 8 beduiinia vaatiakseen kuorma-auton palauttamista. Myöhemmin samana päivänä ainakin viisi druusia kidnapattiin kostoiskuna. 2/X
Mikä on suomalaisten kristittyjen näkemys siitä, miten Israel kohtelee palestiinalaisia kristittyjä? Vaikkapa tuolla Taybehin kylässä.
Nyt olisi Suomi-twitterin kristityillä siionisteilla mahdollisuus tehdä jotain kristittyjen puolesta.
Yhdysvaltain ja Israelin tuella Gazan ruokahuollosta vastaava "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" on merkillinen puulaaki. Vaikka jättäisi huomiotta säätiön salailun ja uutiset heidän toiminnastaan, jo heidän sosiaalisen median läsnäolonsakin soittaa oitis hälytyskelloja.
Slovenia's Prime Minister Robert Golob says that unless the EU does "something tangible" to address the human suffering in Gaza in the next two weeks, a group of like-minded member states will move on its own to put "real pressure" on Israel. "It's high time," he said at #EUCO.
More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.
This is day **118** with no access for critical NRC life-saving aid to Gaza’s women and children. Every day we hope to get through with our relief trucks to a starving population. Every day the Israeli military blocks our relief - including over 3,000 tents to families that…
Ireland as the first EU member state to ban imports from Israel's illegal settlements. Where are all the other states that claim to support international law and the two-state solution?
Today I’ve published the General Scheme of the Bill to prohibit imports from illegal 🇮🇱 settlements in the Occupied 🇵🇸 Territory. This is an important step to uphold international law and Ireland’s commitment to a two-State solution. More details: gov.ie/en/department-…
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explore how Russia is working with Iran, and how the recent Israel–US strikes on Iran could affect the war in Ukraine. Iran has been one of Russia’s key allies in their genocidal war, but in reality the partnership is deeply one-sided. 1/21
Couple of thoughts on the leaked DIA report. We shouldn't take a single, initial, low-confidence report as gospel (obviously we also shouldn't trust Trump when he says the program was "obliterated"). It's still too early for a proper assessment. 🧵 edition.cnn.com/2025/06/24/pol…
Israeli summary of last 12 days: 500-550 Iranian missiles fired. 50-60 direct hits. 28 Israelis killed. Over 1000 drones. All intercepted but one. Several hundreds of Israeli homeless Israel claims 65% of launchers destroyed 800-1000 of Ballistic missile arsenal destroyed.
Ultimately, the EU has created a cost free relation for Israel, treating it with exceptionalism and deference, despite its clear violations of international law and the Association Agreement. Were Israel an African nation, the EU would have surely come down hard 👇
Yesterday, Austria, Germany & Italy argued against suspending the EU's Association Agreement with Israel (despite the EU finding it in breach of its human rights obligations). Instead, they urged dialogue and engagement as the only way forward. Meanwhile...Israel 👇
Israeli forces and drones opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central #Gaza early Tuesday, killing at least 25 people, Palestinian witnesses and hospitals said. apnews.com/article/israel…
🚨🚨🚨 A Israeli official told the Post that Trump demanded of Netanyahu during a phone call: "Completely cancel the attack." Netanyahu responded: "A response is necessary." The outcome: Only one target will be attacked.
Israeli official tells the @Jerusalem_Post: only one target will be struck
It has now been established that #Israel is in breach of its treaty obligations under Article 2 of the @EUCouncil Association Agreement, involving gross and systemic violations of peremptory norms of international law (e.g., the basic rules of #IHL). This comes next:
The @EUCouncil's 'qualified majority' decision to review #Israel's adherence to Article 2 of the Association Agreement raises an unresolved EU procedural law matter. A thread for those interested in the more technical aspects (which could have major legal and political…
Kansainvälisen oikeuden näkökulmasta USA:n tekemä isku Iraniin on varsin yksinkertainen tapaus, sanoo kansainvälisen oikeuden emeritusprofessori Martti Koskenniemi. "On selvää, että Yhdysvaltain isku on laiton", Koskenniemi sanoo. Lue STT:n juttu: mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/emer…
I don’t want to hear any 🇪🇺 statement that the 🇺🇸 has the right to defend itself. This is a clearcut violation of international law.
Venäjän hyökkäys Ukrainaan on laiton sota, rikos kansainoikeutta vastaan. Sen pysäyttämiseen tarvitaan laajaa, globaalia tukea. Miten se tapahtuu, jos länsimaat suhtautuvatkin sääntöperustaiseen kansainväliseen järjestelmään piittaamattomasti heti kun kyseessä on Lähi-itä?
The 🇺🇸 intelligence assessments are now evidently doctored on orders from the White House. The rest of the world could accordingly come to see them as less credible. Politicized intelligence has a very bad history. bbc.com/news/articles/…
What a time to be alive. The president of the United States doing battle damage assessment via sketchy OSINT accounts. I had blocked this particular account some time ago.
