"Judeobolschewismus" is back.
Perspektiven: Es wird der Tag kommen, an dem dieses Cover in derselben Gedenkstätte direkt neben dem „Stürmer“ stehen wird.
Die Menschen werden davor stehen und sich fragen: Wie konnte es nur wieder so weit kommen? Haben sich unsere Urgroßeltern damals nicht von genau den gleichen Parolen verführen lassen? Von jenen, die vor dem „jüdischen Bolschewismus“ warnten und behaupteten, die Juden würden einerseits die Unterschicht und Arbeiterbewegung steuern, während sie gleichzeitig die Eliten und das globale Kapital lenken?

Israel's "left-wing" leader @YairGolan1 said he was happy for Palestinians in Gaza to "starve to death," and forces under his command used Palestinians as human shields.

Absolutely incredible to see how German media and politicians normalize anti-Palestinian racism. What a joke that we have spent half of our lives questioning ourselves about how nazi Germany was enabled.

Hans-Ulrich Jörges meint, mit einer Linken-Regierung würde Berlin zum "Außenlager des Gazastreifens."
Er hat recht—Gaza ist ein Konzentrationslager. Das wissen die alle ganz genau. Die WELT-Moderatoren zucken nicht mal mit der Wimper. Sie finden es gut.

Der große Antisemitismus-Kritiker Kai Wegner hat übrigens mehrfach Heinrich Lummer (früherer CDU-Innensenator in Berlin) gelobt. Ein Blick auf Wikipedia reicht, um seine Kontakte in den Rechtsextremismus und seine antisemitischen Aussagen nachzuvollziehen.

Klar, Pistorius arbeitet als Verteidigungsminister ganz direkt mit dem israelischen Völkermordregime zusammen.
Da ist eine Koalition mit einem Landesverband der Linken, der zumindest ganz leise Kritik daran übt, natürlich nicht genehm.
Hier das Statement von Boris Pistorius. Seine Unterschrift kommt in den nächsten Minuten online. Die Differenzierung, die er vornimmt, ist uns auch wichtig. In unserem Brief gibt es einen eigenen Abschnitt dazu.

Im Umfeld von Betschka und anderen deutschen Journalist:innen wird Völkermord verharmlost und gerechtfertigt.
Dieses KI-erstellte @derspiegel-Titelbild verbreitet sich aus dem Umfeld der Linken:
Die Gesichter der sechs Autoren der Eralp-Geschichte sind drauf gedruckt und dazu „Namen der Niedertracht“.
Solche Einschüchterung ist die Folge, wenn man Journalisten „räudige Köter“ nennt und als Feinde markiert.
Volle Solidarität mit den Kollegen.

Ein Journalist vom Stern spricht von einem Bild, das sich „aus dem Umfeld der Linken“ verbreite. Interessant, denn ich folge vielen Linken und sehe es hier zum ersten Mal. Haben Sie Belege dafür, wer es gepostet hat usw @JuliusBetschka? Müsste eigentlich ganz einfach sein

Der Völkermord geht unvermindert weiter. Die Linke (und natürlich der Rest der politischen Eliten in D) verteidigen das Existenzrecht der mörderischen Institutionen, die dafür verantwortlich sind.
The IDF killed 35 people in Gaza in the past week. Since the “ceasefire” began, the IDF has killed an average of four people and wounded 14 others in Gaza every day.
In total, since the beginning of the “ceasefire,” the IDF has killed more than 1,580 people and injured another 5,711.

Resisting colonial mass expulsions. Return.
VIDEO | Residents of the Al-Jalda and Ain Deir Baha neighborhoods in Hebron (Al-Khalil), in the occupied West Bank, staged a protest demanding the right to return to their homes and an end to the Israeli occupation’s siege, which has entered its tenth day.
Thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from Hebron amid an ongoing Israeli assault and siege.

GAZA: ‘We are gradually losing everything that allows a city to function, survive, and sustain life.’
Gaza City is literally living through its final days, and every passing day makes life here more difficult and unbearable.
We are losing what little remains of our resources and capabilities, with no alternatives available. Dozens of essential goods and raw materials are still prohibited from entering. Every basic necessity of life is gradually disappearing from the city. I am not exaggerating; this is the reality we are living. Things you take for granted in your everyday lives, things you barely think twice about, are simply unavailable here.
It has reached the point where even lighters are no longer available. Wood, iron, cement, and all other construction materials are prohibited from entering. Bakeries, water stations, and shops are shutting down one after another because of shortages of fuel, oils, and raw materials. Even the agricultural sector has been almost entirely destroyed after approximately 70% of agricultural land was seized.
We are not simply facing a shortage of goods. We are gradually losing everything that allows a city to function, survive, and sustain life.
What is happening is pushing Gaza City towards complete dependence on external aid, rather than allowing it to produce its own necessities and provide for its people.
Write, share, and speak about what is happening. Do not stop amplifying our voices.

Great students! But the smug smirk on Baerbock’s face is truly revolting.
As someone who loves Uppsala University (I was even selected as alumni of the year in 2016), I am so proud of its students for confronting former German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock for her undeniable complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
It is a disgrace that she was asked to deliver the Dag Hammarskjöld Lecture in the first place. Hammarskjöld must be rolling in his grave.
But it is a sign of how far Sweden - and its institutions - have veered off its old path of supporting international law, peace and multilateralism.
And as it has abandoned the very values that earned Sweden the soft power it still partially enjoys today, Sweden has become an increasingly irrelevant player on the international stage.
For instance, it's been almost two months since the Swedish elections, and the country still doesn't have a new government in place. Yet, no one on the international stage seems to have taken note, let alone cared about Sweden's political chaos.
Sweden used to be a moral superpower that punched way above its weight. Now, no one even notices it.
These students in Uppsala, however, give me hope for Sweden.
PS. Baerbock defended and legitimized Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure in Gaza, and she ensured that Germany’s military support for Israel's genocide continued.

ALT THE MOST MORAL GENOCIDE IN THE WORLD Darryl Li Atop a hill in the western outskirts of Jerusalem sits Yad Vashem, the official Holocaust memorial and museum of the state of Israel, a pilgrimage destination for visiting dignitaries and children on school trips alike. Barely a kilometer away on an adjoining hilltop is Kfar Shaul, an Israeli community that includes a mental health hospital well-known for first diagnosing the so-called “Jerusalem syndrome,” whereby awestruck tourists temporarily believe themselves to be Biblical figures. Kfar Shaul was built atop the ruins of the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, site of the most infamous massacre of the 1948 Nakba. Some of the stone houses of Deir Yassin are still standing as part of the Kfar Shaul mental health hospital. ...
