Gavazzeni claimed “many, many, many Italians” were alleged to have been involved, without providing a figure. “There were Germans, French, English … people from all western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians.”
“There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."

Why So Many Key Institutions Have Folded Rather Than Challenge Trump
Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe a lot of these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing. Just remember: Trump was defeated once before.

This man made a false claim about a guy in Gaza and when confronted by both that guy and the people who have talked to him, he's ignored them. The man in Gaza said he's even willing to jump on a video call with Ton Aarts but to no avail.

DO give money to international organizations, helping Gaza people with survival.
Even if some of those might be real people, it's useless & cruel donating to one while ignoring the other 2+ million people in Gaza

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

There is no 'remembering Srebrenica' without remembering the basic political reality that the West rewarded the perpetrators with almost half of Bosnian territory. The genocide is not resolved, it's not the past. The sheer existence of 'RS' is a continuation of the genocide.
