Punkt 19 im Trump-Plan, dem Netanyahu gestern zugestimmt hat: „…a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood,which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.“
Netanyahu heute: „We are firmly opposed to a Palestinian state. And of course, we will not agree to it.“

Nach dem Terroranschlag von Wien 2020, der zu einem kurzzeitigen Inseratenstopp großer Lebensmittelkonzerne führte, habe ich die vorsichtige Prognose gewagt, dass Österreichs Boulevardmedien im Umgang mit brutalem und heroisierendem Bildmaterial dazugelernt hätten. Offenbar war das ein Irrtum.

The attack on the Ahli Arab Hospital (#Gaza) ostensibly violates #IHL in several ways. The one generally missed:

The foreseeable civ harm of taking out the last hospital is manifestly #disproportionate even if there WERE a command&control target.

could it be that the only rightwing politician who successfully copied a (more) far-right party in recent years was Sebastian Kurz?
Some quick take-aways
1) Merz’ strategy doesn’t pay off (as political scientists predicted), neither in terms of vote share, nor in terms of coalition options.
2) SPD gets worst result in party’s long history. That’s it for Scholz obviously… and accommodation on immigration didn’t pay off, did it?

Britain had no elections between 1935 and 1945. That did not make it debatable whether Churchill was a dictator. FFS.

Great chart in this terrific piece on how Russia's hand entering into negotiations isn't as strong as Putin would have you think.

Russia's main territorial gains were all at the start of the war, and have since come at enormous cost.

Noch was: in den USA sehen wir jetzt die politische Säuberung des Staatsapparates. Das ist ein Merkmal von Faschismus an der Macht.
Benennt es so. Es ist nicht normal.

Schon in meiner Jugend hat man mir prophezeit: "Mit dem Alter wirst auch du konservativer werden! Wirst schon sehen!"
Ich habe das nie geglaubt, aber es stimmt. Jetzt sehne auch ich mich nach aus der Mode gekommenen Werten vergangener Zeiten. Demokratie, Gleichberechtigung und Medienfreiheit etwa.

Austria is on the cusp of having a government led by the far-right FPÖ with the Conservatives in reduced role. Anti-immigration, anti-science, anti Ukraine, anti-Coronavirus measures, anti-establishment, anti-human rights etc, as anti as it gets.
The Orban-Fico-axis will soon have a new member.

Dass Industriellenvereinigung und Bankensektor einen konservativen Kanzler stürzen um einen rechtsextremen Kanzler an die Macht zu bringen, klingt wie aus dem Klischeebuch simpelster Faschismustheorien.

In Ö hält sich die Realität ans Klischee.
