Sickened to my stomach waking up to the horrifying news out of Australia. To target Jews celebrating Hanukkah is so vile, sick, and cowardly. A day of celebrating has turned into a day of mourning. Antisemitism has deadly consequences, and it must be confronted everywhere.

The European Union should be ruled by majority and not by veto powered countries. This is also the reason why European Union should never have expanded without a reform of the current voting structure

Attacking the government of #Israel is not #Antisemitism. The government of #Israel is a terrorist state in the process of #Genocide.

‼️🇩🇪 VS 🇷🇺 - Merz 👏
That it is a war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine,
against Europe.
And if Ukraine falls, he won't stop.
And just as little as in 1938.
The Sudetenland was not enough.
Putin doesn't stop.....

Here's the guardian not putting the fucking target in the headline
Just to be clear, as the headlines this morning generally aren't, this was a Hanukkah event: a gathering of Australian Jews celebrating the Festival of Lights.
With the mass-shooting on Bondi Beach, at least 10 human lights have gone dark.
May their memories be a blessing.

Does anyone have a good 2025 Word of the Year?
May the new year celebrate, protect, and strengthen democracy around the globe — democracies that value and safeguard human life, including women’s access to safe, medical abortion.
I focus on democracy because it seems that that's what all these malign actors - both state and private - are coalescing against.
The global systemic conflict is fundamentally about people.
Our rights, our privileges, our access to resources, and our ability to decide our own future.

We don't share the same threat perception or sense of urgency.

Present-day Russia consists of 83 regions: 22 republics, 9 krais, 46 oblasts, 3 federal cities, 1 autonomous oblast, and 4 autonomous okrugs. It would be better if it lost some territories instead of claiming any in Ukraine!

NGO Al-Haq warns proposed “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration & Transformation Trust” would place Gaza under a US-admin foreign trusteeship with Israel. The plan sidelines Palestinians, turns Gaza into a commercial zone for foreign investors, and undermines the right to self-determination.
