Still the same one I was over there and there and there. (It’s not my bike!) Posting mainly from anywhere.

Die zweite Generation des Zionismus macht ihre Ohren dicht. Denn die Verwechslung von Ideologie und Identität steht im Zentrum – nicht nur des zionistischen Projekts, sondern jedes politischen Projekts, das über Generationen auf Dauer überleben möchte. Wenn diejenigen, die in das politische Projekt hineingeboren wurden, den Widerstand dagegen als Angriff auf die Ideologie verstehen, die sie vertreten, könnten sie diese infrage stellen. Sie müssen daher glauben, dass in Wirklichkeit ihre Identität angegriffen wird.
"In America, on all the children's television programmes, the baddies-the villains— are the communists. The kids are being brought up with the idea that the communists are the enemy-just like Hitler taught everyone that the Jews were the enemy in Nazi Germany. If a person wants to be a communist, why shouldn't he? It's wrong to teach children that all communists are bad.”
Concerns have been growing that Israel could undermine diplomatic efforts to finally end the Middle East war, with Donald Trump criticising his ally and war partner as irresponsible. "Israel has been fighting Hezbollah for too long and too many people are being killed," Trump said. "You don't need to knock down an apartment house when you are looking for somebody because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they are not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you."
Under the proposals, those sentenced to death would be held in a separate facility with no visits except from authorised personnel, with legal consultations conducted only by video link. Executions would be carried out within 90 days of sentencing. The measure allows courts to impose the death penalty without a request from prosecutors, and without requiring unanimity, instead permitting a simple majority decision. Military courts in the occupied West Bank would also be empowered to hand down death sentences, with the defence minister able to submit an opinion.
Dave Davies • 1h・o ... X Regarding Moby's criticism of our song LOLA in a recent Guardian interview these are the words sent to me and Ray from our dear friend trans icon Jayne County. I am highly insulted that Moby would accuse my brother of being 'unevolved' or transphobic in any way. Jayne County on what Lola meant to her Of course, when I first heard the name Lola, it conjured up memories of Marlena Dietrich standing on a stage in a crowded, smokey room singing one of her most famous songs, 'Lola!' From the 1930 film 'The Blue Angel' 'I am the naughty Lola all the men know me!' I always thought that the young lady in the song by The Kinks, had perhaps taken her name from the Dietrich character! And actrashy, dark bar in London's Soho district would for sure have an ' interesting' array of night time denizens! And a woman with a low voice and the name Lola, would certainly qualify for a possible encounter with either a transvestite or transexual! When I heard the song I was both thrilled and amazed that the Kinks would be singing a song about a trans person and wondered if anyone else had picked up on it! Who was cool or hip enough to

Speaking about the effects on people of the US-Israeli strikes continuing around her she said, "This is no longer just a human rights violation. It is truly anti-human behaviour. If someone has a problem with the Islamic Republic government, that is one thing - but not with us, the people. You cannot attack water systems or refineries. Most of Tehran's water comes from dams. If those become polluted, what happens then? The government has basically left people on their own."
The Tuttle fiasco has ominous echoes of the Documenta art festival in Kassel - another major creative event that was meant to open up Germany to the world and the world to Germany. Once authorities realised that there are corners of the world that are not on the same page as Germany, for example when it comes to Gaza, they rush to stamp the whole thing down. Perhaps hosting a major festival that tolerates the world's contradictions is too much to ask of Germany's government at this stage. It may be wiser to retreat to its comfort zone for a decade or two and host a festival of nonpolitical film in a more peripheral city, such as Bonn. I'm sure other festivals waiting in line, Locarno in Switzerland and San Sebastián in Spain for instance, would be pleased to hear it.
What's more, the Aziz family's charitable foundation receives income directly from some of the buildings where the evictions are taking place. This suggests the rent paid by the soon-to-be-evicted tenants could be subsidising the Aziz Foundation's PR-friendly activities, including paying for interns to work in the offices of MPs and some national newspapers.
"The death of truth is the birth of evil," he said. "I have confidence the righteous will rise up against this aberration. I have many dear conservative friends who are as worried about the far right as my democratic ones are worried about the far left. Surely the world needs a 'radical centre' that draws from both traditions."
Netanyahu sprach von einem „Angrifi auf die westliche jüdisch-christliche Zivilisation", ausgeführt vom radikalen Islam in Zusammenarbeit mit der radikalen Linken. Obwohl beide Kräfte eigentlich Gegner sein müssten, „eint sie eine Sache: der Hass auf Israel und die Juden", bekräftigte der Regierungschef.
„Historisches Treffen": FPÖ von Netanyahu nach Israel eingeladen Erstmals wurde mit dem EU-Parlamentarier Harald Vilimsky ein Parteirepräsentant der FPÖ offiziell von der israelischen Regierung eingeladen - und persönlich von Premier Benjamin Netanyahu empfangen. Thema: die Bedrohung durch radikalen Islam, extreme Linke und unkontrollierte Migration nach Europa.
