JEWISH PEACE ACTIVIST: "THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT DOES EVERYTHING IT CAN TO SILENCE US."

📹 Jewish German peace activist, Udi Raz, based in Berlin, accuses the German government of suppressing peace protests against the Israeli occupation's genocide in Gaza.

According to Raz, the German authorities continue to suppress the Palestine solidarity movement, accusing the German authorities of doing all it can to silence protesters.

The activist slams the Israeli occupation, which publicly accuses the pro-Palestine peace movement of antisemitism, while at the same time, the Zionist occupation declares its ability to speak for all Jews around the world.

"Israel cannot speak in the name of Jews," Raz tells Anadolu News Agency. "Whoever claims otherwise, to my understanding, this is an antisemitic claim."

"Jews are diverse. Jews live in diverse and different geopolitical contexts and national contexts," the Jewish peace activist continues.

"We Jews who live here in Germany, of course, we care about other Jews who live elsewhere, but it does not mean that we are ambassadors of a racist state called the state of Israel," Raz added.

ugh I can't stop thinking of Megan Fox after @depoteka told me about her outrageous photo description that she looks like an Ukrainian sex doll. I'm honestly so tired of the same shit going on and on forever. I've googled the subject and someone said "you'd think Megan Fox is Vladimir Putin the way Ukrainians are after her" like... the amount of levels this comment was as outraging as Fox's stupid description is beyond me. but who cares, right? we are just primitive Slavs anyway and we can all die but we're useful when it's time to make a joke about prostitution

#im overreacting in the end but honestly it feels like this sometimes especially now when the world stops giving shit about the war #posted by me #!!! #eastern europe

kinda drives me up a wall when people go "hey i think x action in a war/combat scenario is inhumane and cruel and shitty" and someone responds with "oh but within the laws of war it's allowed or there's procedure for it etc etc". it doesn't have to be a war crime to be unforgivable man it's a shitty rulebook anyway

#like whether or not something's bad isn't determined by whether or not it adheres to arbitrary rules people made up and never obey #i thought we all knew that already. c'mon man. get a grip #obviously war crimes are bad but that's not where the badness potential ends y'know #this post is due to my dad talking about smth i sent him mentioning US troops firing on a bunch of guys in smth on deserters and he was lik #well they're not like citizens or refugees or deserters they're retreating enemy combattants. so it's different. #it IS different but isn't it still like. overly brutal? idk. #like would you want them to pursue Your ppl regardless? are they not allowed mercy just because you proved stronger? your positions could #be swapped easily and you'd think that as fellow combattants you would feel that deeply. idk maybe i'm just too soft or whatever but like. #seems stupid to me. war generally seems stupid to me but this specifically right now seems stupid to me #yes i know there are practical concerns and sacrifices in combat that make sense when you're actually there and me saying there should be n #wars and we should make it a fucking priority to not have wars doesn't mean ppl already in a decision-making role in the field should do #what i (an idealist) would do. they're responsible for minimizing loss and shit. whatever. doesn't mean it's not fucked up anyway. #and that's assuming the best case scenario for a leader in such a position. usually they just want to minimize Their side's losses. usually #by maximizing the other side's. or they just want to win and will sacrifice anyone for it if it's practical #which happens a Lot. usually it's a mix of the latter two to my understanding #as if americans' lives matter more than anyone else's and the other side doesn't have a right to mourn bc they offended us somehow #ugh that shit irks me so bad dude. there'll be like a terrorist attack in europe or smth and the news'll be like #ONE AMERICAN WAS KILLED. and twenty swiss. THE AMERICAN WAS VISITING FAMILY THERE ON SUNDAY MORNING WHEN TRAGEDY STRUCK etc etc #fucking hate that. i don't care if they're on 'my team' or whatever they're all equally human and equally dead #why the hell should i care if one of them was an american. just say 21 people died. like i get reporting on it briefly ig to like notify #ppl At Best but like. it's so grating. why can't you be normal about other people fucking goddamn you #why is this a controversial statement. why is giving a shit about people killing each other (often for like 10 ppl's financial gain) wrong #like. come on. i don't care if they 'deserve it' or whatever because i don't think they do. and even if they Did i don't think it's #America's Time To Step Up!!! every time smth like this happens (but only when it is financially beneficial to us to do so #such that we ignore atrocities all the fucking time bc it's inconvenient. we're not superheros. we're cops.) #not saying america shouldn't do anything bc like. idk. you screw everyone over to have all the power maybe you should use that influence fo #good. but my definition of 'good' is wayyyy way different from everybody who's ever held office here apparently so like. nuts to that #eugh. anyway im cutting myself off here rant over. for now

#liberopensiero #laduraverità

Immagino lo sfacelo totale dell' Italia in caso di guerra. Una Nazione senza più identità, alienata dalla ricerca ossessivo compulsiva di un "identità sociale dettata da social rossobruni". Alla ricerca perenne di denaro che non trova, lavori abbandonati e clientelismo, politica e compravendita, sesso e identità, sondaggi e illusioni, pornografia delle emozioni e consumo di massa. E ancora: culto del fluido, famiglie castrate, patrie svendute e censure arbitrarie, restrizioni crescenti e statue abbattute, tirannia dei “diritti per tutti”, lotte per pronomi di genere e liberalizzazione delle droghe: insomma un inutile armata Brancaleone. Un paese naufragato nello schifo per l ingerenza della politica magnereccia in ogni campo. E i loro figli? I figli e famigli del cerchio politico ma anche i più in lay fino all ultimo assessore sconosciuto imboscati da qualche parte, mica sono politici Israeliani che vanno in prima linea i nostri!

Nel tempo del delirio politicamente corretto, dove le opinioni autoritarie e gridate della follia woke soppiantano le idee autorevoli, l' uomo occidentale ha già perso. Sempre più assente e sradicato si è trasformato in un perfetto ingranaggio del conformismo, astratto e ripetibile, senza Dio, senza confini, perennemente migrante e precario, spogliato di ogni profondità e di ogni connessione con lo spirito e il suo passato. È questo la verità. Siamo passati dalla morale del Bene alla moralizzazione della società e alla colpa di essere europei.

La soluzione? Forse sarebbe proprio una guerra. La rinascita di una nuova integrità che sviluppi anticorpi necessari a sanare le follie di questo tempo liquido, la putrefazione degli individui e lo scenario infernale dell’ "uomo folla". Ciò che serve, in questo contesto liquido, globale e virtuale è la volontà di edificare un uomo sovrano di se stesso che non si accordi all' imposizione e combatta l’auto annichilimento in atto.

#listen if you're living in western europe or america or canada or anywhere that's not next to the border of ukraine #and you feel the need to express opinions online about how ukraine's neighbours should handle this conflict just fucking don't #just shut the fuck up #i've seen so many dumb people - some americans some not americans #but all of them way too far away from the conflict #expressing opinions about the fact that russian drones apparently flew above romanian airspace #and how romania is stupid for not acting (as in escalating) #bitch you have no clue how real this war feels here and how real it's been ever since the first refugees arrived in our country #hell even i can't imagine how real it feels for people living 200 metres from the ukrainian border #having drones above their houses every night and knowing one slight military mistake could end their lives #i'm not saying that our authorities should do nothing which they basically are atm because they're some useless pieces of shit #but you and even i living hundreds of km away from the border can't fucking imagine what it's like to have your life on the line #so if you have an opinion just keep it for yourself cause none of us want to read it on the internet

I think the fundamental problem I have with the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy is how they completely undermines the ending of RotJ.

In real life, I allow, it absolutely happens that 20 years after one great war there is another. Historical victories aren't clear cut like that. But let's be clear: if Star Wars worked like history does the rebellion wouldn't have won in the first place.

So let our heroes have their happy ending! Let them stay heroes. Don't do that.

#Continuing with the parallels to 20th century history #the resistance movements in german-occupied europe *didn't* achieve victory #the great powers did and the resistance movements only had happy endings in so far as it fitted those powers #after the war the leaders of the polish 'home army' were executed by the soviets - who are a whole new issue that complicates things - the #'good guys' aren't that pure here though for once the 'bad guys' *are* bad - but anyway #this wouldn't have happened if this was a story like the ones movies like star wars tell #long long ago in a galaxy far far away #original post #star wars #star wars sequels #sequel negative #return of the jedi #rotj

[imreallyloveleee]

reading a book about Cambodian history, and finally started watching the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary, and it's weird to feel so angry about stuff that happened 50 years ago that you should already know but don't because the American public school system pretends that history ended with WW2 and ahhhhhhHHHHHHHH

#like obviously i know what the vietnam war was #but i never LEARNED about it #like my (well-funded and more or less centrist) high school curriculum was like #we won the war and then we rebuilt europe and then the civil rights movement happened and ended racism! hooray! #and ronald reagan tore down the berlin wall with his bare hands

People are believing the Lies fed by Russia.

Some people are making Posts and spreading Russian Propaganda, that Putin is saving Children from Ukraine. When in Reality, Russia is forcefully deporting Children from Ukraine to Russia and other Countries controlled by Russia, to russify them.

Delusional people are spreading delusioning Propaganda and confusing more people.

THIS is how the Russian Propaganda works.

Then they say "educate yourself" , "think for yourself" , "do your research" and more. But, what they mean is "Only I know the truth" , "Don't go to other Sources" , "Every other Source is controlled and bought by the richest people already" and more....

Russia is a horrible Country. USSR was oppressive and inhuman. Those were few among the many Reasons for its Downfall. Now, Putin wants to create another USSR. And wants no more Countries to join NATO. He feels (I think), that it is a Breach of Understanding by the US, when US wants to take Ukraine into the NATO Group.

Seriously... USA is the reason of most Calamities on this Planet. The Government of USA does things. Civilians of USA remain silent and let everything happen. Soldiers of USA perform Atrocities themselves, when they are "serving" their Country. I don't understand how destroying Countries is the same as 'Serving your Country'....

Maybe that is what America stands for... Destroying other Countries.

Process : Find Country with Resources > Make Deals > War on Country if Deal is rejected > Make drugs in that Country while waging wars and import those Drugs back to home > destroy that Country.

Afghanistan.

Iraq.

Iran.

Syria.

Vietnam..?

Now... Ukraine is in rubble....

Just die America.

Really.

Civilians of America also need to pay for not fighting back against these continuous Wars... Is USA not a Democracy? The President of USA is not a King. Right?

Shameful....

I wish USA and Russia lied side by side on the Global Map. Then they could just kill each other and solve these Issues once and for all. Since a long time, Europe has been continuously suffering due to the "Cold War" between these two Nations controlled by Cavemen...

#USA #Ukraine #NATO #Russia #Russian Invasion of Ukraine #Russia deporting Children from Ukraine #Delusional people believing that Putin is saving Children #USA being Inhuman #Warmongering #Fearmongering #Shameful #Democracy? #Death to American Government #Incorrect Methods #Europe Suffering #Ukraine suffering #End of Wars

A migrant from another country isn’t automatically a bad person. Far from. Most are just looking for a better life. But some people flee oppression, not least women. How do we help them by letting them come to our country, if we let the oppressors in too? Which is already happening, and would be a guarantee with open borders.

If you lived in Europe, you would know that a lot of the men that have moved here from African and middle eastern countries hold absolutely medieval views on women’s rights. And also on gay rights. There have been gang rapes. Numeous, systematic assaults on women at swimming pools, or just out on the town. Letting in men, and it is almost only men coming, that think that women wearing a skirt, shorts or a bikini and walking outside without male company, are free reign to do what they want to, that has been catastrophic for women’s safety in our countries.

And frankly as a feminist I think that it’s crucial that you understand this. Women don’t have the same rights that we do in the western world in every country of the world. There are entire continents where women don’t have basic rights. And the only way for us to uphold progressive, equalitarian values, is by having borders. Within which we can decide the law, and be protected by our countries laws.

Girl idk how to fucking explain to you that one can recognize male violence is an issue no matter where you go and who it can come from and that currently most nations border policies are actively harmful and inhumane to migrants and those in need of refuge. You sound like such a conservative shithead, you can reframe your argument as much as you'd like to try and hide that you seem frankily very racist and just don't want immigrants in your country, it really doesn't work.

"I think its crucial you understand this" um yeah, I literally study complex international situations for my degree. I think about complex shitty situations all the time, for a grade, for my future as an educator. I think you're extremely tone deaf to the idea that nation-states are not actually this amazing praise worthy institution you want to say it is and you repeating it as if western countries are the creme de la creme of morality and the most law abiding people ever is just painful to read. It doesn't automatically equal "progressive, equalitarian values" as it simultaneously kills and abuses thousands of people daily. But idk maybe thats just me :/ you can both want to make sure there's structures in place to protect women from any and all male violence while also wanting to help vulnerable people. And don't come trying "wah those men aren't vulnerable" like sure yeah probably, but i still frankily want to see all the migrant women and children reach safety and that means making sure the huge humanitarian crises happening with migrants right now is properly addressed by world governments.

#my poli sci prof would devour you if u tried saying that shit about nation states being the only safe government structure lmao #but yeah theres no fucking need to act like i dont understand how some violent misogynistic men have harmed some women in europe #like its not a crazy situation thats hard to fathom babe men from cultures that are that harsh on women suck #but at the end of the day the solution is never gonna be 'stop helping vulnerable people trying to escape war and death and poverty' #you just sound like a jackass then #there's like a million and ten ways you can aid those problems without coming off as a racist fuck using those women as a scapegoat #thats all im saying

[stupitunclehal]

fe3h and 3hopes alike would be so much better if the end goal wasn’t always unification

#fe3h #fe #somebody brought up that this was largely influenced by east asian history and lit iirc (specifically how china looked throughout history) #and how it's understood by both an east asian audience and the japanese writers of the game (plus also the echoes of japanese imperialism) #but it really doesn't mesh well with the historical behaviour of european states where unification happened with plenty of territories #kicking and screaming the whole time well into even the 20th century #and since fe3h is set in smth resembling medieval europe esp in terms of each individual player in the war and also #the church having a lot of the hallmarks of catholicism #it gets pretty dicey and weird quite quick? and unification does NOT look like a bright future in pretty much any ending #spext #spext: meta #if that even counts also presumably should have a tag on that

[milfbro]

Oh. Rebecca has some parallels with the Titanic disaster asdghjkl

I should've thought about that sooner

#not in any 1:1 sense but as an ending to the belle epoque #its all about nostalgia and 'what might've been' after all #also the war etc #seeing europe destroyed was hard on everybody ig

[inloveamateursatbest]

every time new atrocities are uncovered in ukraine, it usually only takes 1 paragraph of a news story/editorial/opinion piece for europeans to show they don't ever remember the balkans exist

#devastation caused by war in europe didn't end in the forties!! #the bosnian war was in the late nineties #the late 1990s #!!!

Sometimes a book is so wrong that you just have to set it down and cackle ominously for a few minutes.

#for reference #this is about les mis #because some of hugo's political takes are. bad. #i read the words 'compulsory universal education' used in an unironically positive sense #and did in fact stop to cackle ominously #because just. wow. my dude that is one of the Worst Ideas Ever #and you legitimately support it #also he is very very salty about napoleon having been defeated #sometimes it's funny like when he's throwing shade at the duke of wellington for no real reason #sometimes it's irritating because sir that was in fact a tyrant #admire him for his military genius all you like but please stop pretending he was some kind of ideal ruler #who was spreading Progress through europe #those are called wars of conquest #they are Not Good #okay end tag rant #les mis #victor hugo #winter says things #winter reads things #winter has a rant
