"Selektion" in Wien:
"Die nichtarbeitsfähigen Frauen und Kinder dieser Juden, die sämtlich für eine Sonderaktion bereitgehalten und deshalb eines Tages wieder abgezogen werden, müssen auch tagsüber in dem bewachten Lager verbleiben."

"Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest is an outrageous attack on free speech rights the US is obligated to respect under international law. The US should refrain from starting a witch hunt against immigrants on campuses across the country." -Tanya Greene, US program director, Human Rights Watch
Free speech is a human right, and the US is obligated to respect it under international law.
Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest is an outrageous attack on this right.
New SkySat imagery from Planet Labs over northern Gaza from Dec 5 shows extensive damage to the Beit Lahia Cemetery after the IDF cleared two paths through the middle of it.
🧵 I have a cemetery destruction thread on Twitter that I'll re-post to Bluesky for tracking purposes.

Ok, so you’re one of those deliberately obtuse people who laughs as Israel killed entire families with bombs.
I don't know you well enough to judge, but either you're so swayed by empty rhetoric that you can't see Hamas isn't responsible for Israel's war conduct, or you do understand this but are choosing to be deliberately obtuse to avoid having to grapple with the fact Israel’s no better.
“Tonight, on my live-show I once again flip a coin and act like I understand the political climate.”
I’ve achieved two of four. So not the worst outcome. Will probably achieve three.

Aussage des Dieter Wisliceny (RSHA) in Bratislava:
"... hat der Begriff "Endlösung" eine völlig andere Bedeutung bekommen und wurde als Tarnwort für die biologische Vernichtung des europäischen Judentums von Himmler und Eichmann benutzt."

The idea of “Value-free history” to me at this point seems to be a farce. One only needs to look at the history wars in Ireland. From the 1930s to 1970s historians pushing for “Value-free history” often chose to whitewash the British role in Ireland’s an Gorta Mór.
Coogan consistently embarrasses himself. He remains unable to explain how a government that expended 10 million pounds (equivalent to 50 million USD today) and nourished 3.5 million individuals daily at the height of the famine could possess genocidal intent.
The more I learn about Napoleon the more his popular portrayals make me irritated. Like I started nibbling at the topic because of Ribbes shotty work claiming he was a blueprint for Hitler. But Napoleon was actually a monster whose crafted the modern popular conception of himself.
Contribution by Roland Binet to Defending History on how World War 1 misremembrance impacts our remembrance of Holocaust victims:
I am still formulating out ideas on my article on genocide. In the meantime I’ve ordered some new books. They have implications for my article on Tim Pat Coogan - I’ve been meaning to revise and expand it - and my future series of articles on Holocaust Obfuscation.
The IDF recently killed a UNRWA sanitation worker under circumstances akin to the killing of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. (Washington Post has cast significant doubt on the Israeli assertion that she died from a ricochet bullet.)
The distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza is facing severe challenges. The Israeli military has not taken significant measures to enhance the distribution of food.
"83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day."
Hey everyone, I’m back. I saw that Bluesky added video finally and has blown up again.
Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.
An independent panel released its much-awaited report on Monday about the UN relief agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA), providing 50 recommendations and noting that Israeli authorities have yet to provide proof of their claims that UN staff are involved with terrorist organisations.
Settlers killing Palestinians in occupied the West Bank is becoming as normalized. Soldiers aiding and abetting.
U.S.A. « said this week that famine was "threatening to take hold" in parts of the densely populated territory. »
The head of UNOCHA states « that the responsibility of the Israeli authorities starts when the assistance enters into Gaza. But it should only finish when it's delivered. »
Interestingly, Guenter Lewy's assertion in 2005 that no documents used by the Ottoman court-martial survived was untenable even before Taner Akcam republicated documents from Krikor Guerguerian's archive. The Turkish government published one in 1995. (Noticed by Hilmar Kaiser in 2014)
84% of Jews overall — 87% of left-wing and centrist Jews, and 84% of right-wing Jews — believe that the policies of the Israeli government toward Hamas in recent years made it easier for the terror group to carry out the October 7 massacres.
USAID chief, Samantha Power, has also confirmed Children in north Gaza are already dying of starvation. Famine has begun in Gaza.
In the week since President Biden warned Israel to swiftly address civilian suffering in Gaza, Israeli officials have touted what they say is a record number of aid trucks entering the territory.
But according to U.N. and other aid officials, little has actually changed on the ground.
Despite Israeli pledges, there has reportedly been little increase in supplies reaching civilians in Gaza so far.
"America’s largest library association, which annually hands out prestigious literary prizes..., has recently honored two authors with a track record of whitewashing Nazi collaborators."
ISIL terrorist attack on a Moscow concert hall on 22 March was allegedly motivated by revenge for Russian engagement in the Syria Civil war. ISIL also appears to be garnering more support as of late in Syria.
Current shelf organization + excess books. Currently my books on an Gorta Mór, Srebrenica and Rwanda are not shelved. Also some excess books I intent to sell.
