Q.e.d.

Ich stelle wertfrei fest: die israelischen Streitkräfte haben Handlungsfreiheit über Beirut, Damaskus und Teheran, und sie haben auch in Doha (2025) bombardiert, als sie es richtig fanden.
Sie sind der militärische Hegemon der gesamten Region.
Ausweislich der deutschen Debatte käme man nicht darauf.

What does it say about our age that the signature technology our geniuses come up with excels at 2 things: flattering and mimicking us ("great question, Dave") – and making it easier to kill other people with "overwhelming lethality" and superhuman speed?

"Shooting and crying" - so wird die Tradition israelischer Selbsterforschung oft zynisch abgetan.
Ich halte sie für etwas Wertvolles. Begründet hat sie der große Amos Oz nach dem 6-Tage-Krieg.
Sie lebt, wie das erschütternde Stück aus Haaretz über Gaza beweist. "Moral injury" - welch ein Wort.

Tue ich gar nicht. Ich finde das nur hier nicht zentral.

Ok, aber das ist ja nun doch ein anderes Thema. Sie hat sicher nicht eigenhändig Trump ins Amt gebracht.

And how can you call yourself a socialist supporting these religious crazies who killed the secular resistance fighters of Fatah when they came to power?

Rape is not resistance, as well as killing festival goers

Well, a massacre including rape and killing of whole families is certainly not ‚„resistence“. Apart from the war crimes they committed, they also doomed the Palestinian cause.

Occupation has been „temporary“ in the Westbank for 59 years now, that term is useless.
They will never give the 50 % of Gaza back they control. People there live in squalor. It’s an outrage.
Militarily, Hamas has been defeated long ago. (Good!)
🇮🇱 is going down a terrible path.

What I will never defend: the killing of at least 70000 people in Gaza, the reoccupation of 50 % of Gaza, the occupation of Southern Lebanon, and threats against Iranian civilization.
Permanent war („Sparta“ in Netanyahu‘s words) is a dead end. Don’t get me started about the West Bank.

I defended Israel‘s right to hit back hard and eliminate the threat from both. That was achieved with Hamas around summer 24. I admire the pager attack, I defended the killing of Nasrallah. And the war against Iran‘s nuclear sites last year.
The rest is politics, there needs to be a deal.

Do you follow what happens in Gaza, how people live there?
Hundreds of thousands have been displaced in Lebanon, many villages just blown up.
But Hamas is still there, as is Hezbollah. As are the Taliban.
The war on terror is a failure.

Maybe it’s better no to treat Trump’s „truths“ about Iran and Lebanon as foreign policy statements - but as geopolitical insider trading schemes?
Some people are certainly „making a killing“ as they say.

One of the worst phrases thrown around all the time (regarding Gaza, now Iran and Lebanon):
„finish the job“.
The dehumanization is right there in this word, it’s a cover for deeds we used to consider war crimes.

Halten wir fest: das iranische Regime hat Donald Trump dazu gebracht, Benjamin Netanjahu weitere Angriffe auf die Hisbollah zu verbieten.
Das ist die amerikanische Gegenleistung für die Ankündigung, die Straße von Hormus zu öffnen - und der Hintergrund der Gespräche zwischen Israel und Libanon.

Extract from an essay by former British diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall about her anger against Trump

Excellent piece by former British diplomat (and American citizen) Alexandra Hall Hall on the need for more anger against Trump's America.

Why Americans Need to Get Much Angrier About Donald Trump Hope is not a strategy and my fellow Americans need to wake up to the far greater damage to the US this President could still cause, argues Alexandra Hall Hall

Die sind für China nicht "Verbündete", das sind Zweckallianzen. Sicher nicht schön. Aber dass sich die Amerikaner dort verausgaben, ist gut für Peking. Man sieht Stärken und Schwächen. Über die weaponization von chokepoints (Hormus, Malakka, Taiwanstraße) hat man viel gelernt.

...practice multi-alignment without penalty. For big powers, it is disorder, for middle powers it's a world of endless opportunities.
China, not a traditional great power with the ambition to order the world, profits from Trump's superpower suicide by shoring up partnerships all over the place.

The idea that we are living in an era of "Great Power politics" needs revising.
The greatest military power in the world cannot overwhelm a broken, universally hated pariah state.
The Number 1 nuclear power ruins itself against a neighbour 1/5 its size. Middle powers all over the world ....1/2
