"A civilisation that stops having children, stops believing in marriage and stops defending its values is not evolving. It is dying."

The Islamic Republic's embassy in Berlin is recruiting terrorists as young as 12 for the #Janfada campaign.
"Sacrifice your life for Iran"
The IRI embassy in Germany openly promotes the martyrdom (=abuse) of children in the fight against the US and Israel.

The Welsh rail system is powered by hymns. All passengers have to sing in order for the train to move, when sung in harmony the train goes faster. When it crosses the border into England they have to use diesel… #trains #Wales
In Israel diskutiert die winzige neue OZ-Partei das Konzept eines "Arabischen Zionismus" in dem Juden und Araber ein gemeinsames Zion aufbauen.
Naja, wenigstens geben sie die Hoffnung auf eine friedliche Lösung nicht auf!
Gründung einer "jüdischen nationalen Heimstätte" (Staat) war Mandatsziel "wobei gleichzeitig die bürgerlichen und religiösen Rechte aller Einwohner Palästinas, ungeachtet ihrer Rasse und Religion, zu wahren sind.“ also Bürgerliche und Religiöse Rechte für alle und genau da gibt's Nachholbedarf!
Waffenstillstandslinien (Grüne Linie) sind völkerrechtlich für die Grenzziehung irrelevant.
Die Osloer Verträge waren explizit als Interimsabkommen konzipiert und sind so 1999 ausgelaufen.
Was bleibt? "uti possidetis juris" definiert die Mandatsgrenzen als rechtmäßige Grenzen Israels seit 1948.
Das war ein Vorschlag der Vollversammlung, welche laut UN-Charta nie bindendes Völkerrecht setzen kann.
Aus dem Vorschlag wäre bindendes Völkerrecht geworden, sobald beide Seiten Juden + Araber zustimmen. Die Juden stimmten zu, die Araber nicht.
Damit ist aber auch für Israel nichts davon bindend.
Ups.
Völkerrecht.
Most of the 388 million Christians persecuted around the world today are persecuted under the banner of “Allahu Akbar.” - says Uzay Bulut, a Turkey-born journalist and political analyst at @idicenter.substack.com.web.brid.gy
I don't know what is on his head.
Yes. They were uncritical of building nuclear power plants at a tsunami prone coast.
"Tehran’s response has been a single counterargument: the Islamic Republic still stands.
That argument mistakes the question. The survival of the Islamic Republic is not in dispute. What is in dispute is whether the surviving entity retains the capacity to direct the forces operating in its name."
Geerbt meint Staatensukzession: Entsteht ein neuer Staat, übernimmt er Rechte, Pflichten, Grenzen des bisherigen Territoriums. Nach dem Prinzip „uti possidetis juris“ wurden die Grenzen des britischen Mandats automatisch zu den völkerrechtlichen Grenzen von Jordanien und Israel.
... to Russia.
Es ist im Kern ein Konflikt zwischen Völkerrecht (Art. 80 / Uti possidetis) und obszessiv vielen politisch motivierten UN-Resolutionen. Israel hat wie Jordanien seine Grenzen geerbt. Nur sind Juden keine Araber: Während Jordaniens Grenzen sakrosankt sind, muss Israel für sein Erbe bluten.
A landmark full-cohort study from Finland 🇫🇮 finds youth with gender identity issues have much higher rates of serious psychiatric problems than peers, and these problems worsen in those undergoing gender-affirming surgery, highlighting major clinical implications.
Your country will look like what you teach your kids now.
It is appalling when people are prepared to kill simply because their religion is criticized.
Shukri Hamk: "They’ve killed or pushed out all the #Jews,
so now they’re focusing on doing the same to #Christians and #Yazidis
#Christians, #Yazidis and all other #non-Muslims in the
#Middle #East are slowly being #genocided by killings &
expulsions in #Lebanon, #Egypt, #Turkey, #Iraq & #Syria.
From the 1990s to 2010s, tens of thousands went to fight in Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq. It wasn’t poverty or discrimination driving them, but a particular “Ummah First” mindset, seeing the global Muslim community as their main identity, not their country.
"The Ideological Defense Institute envisions a future in which confidence in the Judeo-Christian foundational principles of Western civilization is restored, institutionally preserved, and effectively defended against ideological and theological threats."

After October 7th. "Imams and influencers who had spent decades parsing “Islam versus Islamism” dropped the parsing. Hamas was not a distortion. Hamas was the faith in action. The mask was not just off; it was thrown away because the victims were Jews and the victory felt too sweet to disown."
President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.
Concert pianist Yirui Weng grew up an atheist, but found Christian faith after hearing Vivaldi's Gloria.
For Yirui music had always expressed a kind of longing - but when she was in her twenties, that longing felt like a question, and she didn't have the answer.
#Iran is not Iraq. And it is not Syria. But Europe, the reluctant stakeholder has the most to lose.
