5/ Because the police didn’t cordon off the road during the protest, some buses and cars saw that people were on the road but didn’t care and tried to use it as usual.

4/ According to OSCE/ODIHR, they could not deploy a mission because “an invitation sent less than one month before election day does not leave sufficient time for credible and meaningful observation.”

2/ Russia accuses the Georgian citizen of fighting on the side of Ukraine. On October 25, 2024, Kinoyan was sentenced to 77 years in prison by the so-called court of occupied Donetsk. He was arrested in Armenia based on a wanted notice issued by the Russian Federation.

On 18th October UK @hopenothate.org.uk is rallying against the Farage and Tommy Robinson led attacks on #democracy. Vilifying migrants/refugees and Muslims. Attracting disillusioned citizen’s votes through populist lies and false promises! We must support each other fighting off the common enemy!

They tried to provide material aid.
They publicised Israel's attitude to Palestinians getting aid.
I'd say they achieved a lot more than someone sitting back making disparaging comments on a social media platform.

Even more so since Israel has ruthlessly tortured her in captivity along with the other activists. She more than deserves the award for basically sacrificing herself for the greater good of standing up to their genocidal antics.

I would support that, shared with Francesca Albanese, and I think it would be lovely to invite Donald Trump to present the award, as he has contributed so much to them having to earn it.

Seconded

She tried to get both governments to talk again, she pleaded for deescalation, she used her visibility to highlight the plight of normal Palestinians to the press and finally, she risked her life and incarceration - multiple times - to bring aid.

Those are the actions that deserve a price

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Greta Thunberg & the participants of the Sumud Flotilla for being able to break the genocidal Israeli blockade after 19 years and for successfully promoting human rights and international law by putting their lives at risk. @nobelprize.bsky.social

Wilders' last resort is that his far-right party becomes so strong that he can become the Dutch PM if a few other parties want to cooperate with him, like JA1 and the FvD, but even then he needs more coalition partners.

Maybe Dilan Yesilgöz's VVD will support him, for she is unpredictable.
