so 2 years ago , this german C-Promi stated in a video that he was ordered to hide his star of david in the Best Western Hotel in Leipzig.. .... now you all know that german Puplic and Bourgoisie is obviously , not some kind of "Lynchmob" that would go Haywire on the Acussation of "antisemitism" like they are Pavlos Dog.... ähm .. ähm.. trying to hunt down the receptionist.. ..

Well it turns out that it was all a lie and he was pissed he couldnt check in first. So he just went outside and recorded his video accusing the receptionist of beeing antisemitic.. Its fucking hilarious , as germany is going completttly insane with its "guilt demands Holocaust or do you wanna be a Nazi " . No there is accute danger that maybe some germans might fiigure out that maybe a certain "entity" is maybe in the same practise , and all institutions are going full "damage Controll"

These are real.

This made me want to vomit. He was singing.

My husband's business was supposedly here. It was completely flattened to the ground. We got to know from a video an Israeli soldier posted on Tiktok. The soldier was singing as she shows the area destroyed and flattered. Heartburning.

So these ghouls are doing this now. The funniest bit I suppose is that there were literally zero people today trying to cross the one border point that was still open.

There is also a lot of discourse claming that this whole thing is somehow orchestrated by Putin. Meanwhile this right wing government is cutting workers rights left and right and basically dismantling everything that is left from our supposedly amazing socdem welfare state. I find all this to be very sus and wish I knew how this is framed in Russia or elsewhere but we obviously are forbidden to see that now.

What the fuck is up with Guyana? Feels like something dumb is gonna happen. Feels like it would be real reckless to do this just as it seems the crisis in Venezuela is calming down.

8 hours ago the Israelis had killed 100 post truce. Now the number is 178.

178 Palestinians killed since truce expired this morning, says Gaza health ministry

The health ministry in the Gaza Strip said 178 Palestinians have been killed since this morning as a result of Israeli airstrikes.

Most of those are children and women, the ministry said in its latest update on Friday. It added that 589 people have been injured.

The Guardian cannot verify these figures.

Yeah I condemn Hamas. I condemn Hamas for not killing "Tank Posting" yet.

I think the local Israeli guy in the music scene has been mostly bullied into supporting Palestine. He's been getting a lot of side eye so I wouldn't be surprised if he's hiding his true feelings.

New slammer post

In reference to what gustavo petro said

Hitler is knocking on the doors of the homes of the European and North American middle class—and many have already let him in.

Petro version

When Denmark's government made the decision to euthanise all minks in the country in the fall of 2020 they took over the now useless farms, paying generous compensations to farmers, with the intent of demolishing the structures that can no longer be used for raising minks.

Now the contracts to carry out one of the largest demolition projects in Danish history has been awarded to six companies. All of the six companies have recent convictions for breaking health and safety regulations regarding asbestos. One of the convictions happened when a company was breaking off asbestos roofing with a crowbar, lifting it with a grab and letting them fall two metres into a container, causing asbestos dust to fly all over the demolition workers.

This is not the worst news though. The union 3F who organises construction workers considers the six companies to be the ones who are best at handling asbestos safely, despite their history. The reason the companies got inspected and fined in the first place is that they actually report asbestos work to the authorities as they're supposed to. Other companies simply never tell the authorities about the work and thus have virtually no risk of ever having their asbestos work inspected.

The proposal was shown to key figures in the House and Senate from both parties. Longtime lawmaker, Rep. Joe Wilson, has even expressed open support for it while others who were privy to the details of the text have so far kept a low profile, saying that publicly coming out in favor of the program could derail it.

“Israel is trying to keep civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip as low as possible, but Hamas is not allowing the refugees to leave and Egypt is unwilling to open its borders,” the plan’s authors write in the opening paragraph.

They later go on to explain that “the only moral solution is to ensure that Egypt opens its borders and allows for the refugees to flee from the tyrant control of Hamas. The US Government provides Egypt with approximately $1.3 billion in foreign aid, and these funds can be allocated to the refugees from Gaza who will be allowed into Egypt.”

George Santos expelled from Congress in historic vote

After a damning ethics report, and as he faces dozens of criminal charges, the US House of Representatives has expelled Congressman George Santos.

The New York Republican is only the sixth lawmaker in history to be expelled from the lower chamber of Congress, and the first since 2002.

His tenure was marked by multiple lies about his past and allegations of fraud - all revealed after his election.

Friday was the third effort to oust Mr Santos after two previous failed votes.

The 35-year-old from Queens made a quick exit before the vote ended as its outcome became clear, rushing past a swarm of reporters.

"As unofficially already no longer a member of Congress, I no longer have to answer a single question from you guys," he said.

"To hell with this place," CNN reported he added before ducking into a waiting SUV parked at the Capitol steps.

Lawmakers backed the resolution to expel Mr Santos 311 to 114, with 206 Democrats and 105 Republicans voting in favour.

Scattered applause was heard on both sides of the House chamber after the motion was adopted.

Over 11 months in office, Mr Santos has faced an endless stream of controversy and countless calls to resign from both Democrats and his fellow Republicans.

His troubles began shortly after winning election to the House in November 2022, when The New York Times reported he had lied about a Wall Street career, his college degrees and having Jewish ancestry.

Tesla suing Sweden over license plates

summary: metalworker's union is striking against Tesla's refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement, strike extended to dockworkers in sweden and norway and now to postal workers as well. License plates can by law only be distributed via the post office, so Tesla can not sell any of their cars since postal workers are blocking those deliveries.

striking is the one good thing about swedish culture

ICJ Rejects Measures Requested by Guyana on Referendum

On Sunday, over 20 million Venezuelans have been summoned to a consultative referendum where they will decide regarding the Guyana Esequiba.

On Friday, Venezuelan Communication Minister Alfred Nazareth that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had rejected the measures requested by Guyana in relation to the suspension of the consultative referendum on the Essequibo.

Approved previously by the Venezuelan National Assembly, the Essequibo referendum will be held on December 3 and will contain the following questions:

1. Do you agree to reject by all means in accordance with the law, the line fraudulently interposed by the 1899 Paris Arbitration Award, which seeks to deprive us of our Guayana Esequiba?

2. Do you support the 1966 Geneva Agreement as the only valid legal instrument to reach a practical and satisfactory solution for Venezuela and Guyana regarding the controversy over the territory of Guayana Esequiba?

3. Do you agree with Venezuela's historical position of not recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice to resolve the territorial controversy over Guayana Esequiba?

4. Do you agree to oppose, by all legal means, Guyana's claim to unilaterally dispose of a sea pending delimitation, illegally and in violation of international law?

5. Do you agree with the creation of the Guayana Esequiba state and the development of an accelerated comprehensive care plan for that territory's current and future population, a plan which includes, among others, the granting of citizenship and Venezuelan identity card, in accordance with the Agreement Geneva and International Law, consequently incorporating such state on the map of Venezuelan territory?

Previously, on Nov. 15, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez presented her country's arguments before the ICJ in defense of holding the consultative referendum on the Essequibo.

On that occasion, she denounced the request presented by Guyana before the ICJ as carrying an interventionist intention from the neighboring country, which seeks to prevent the holding of a citizen consultation process that the Venezuelan Constitution provides for.

With solid historical and legal arguments, Rodriguez ratified the validity of the 1966 Geneva Agreement and questioned the intention of the Guyanese authorities to proclaim the 1899 Arbitration Award as valid.

She also noted that Guyana is part of a plan of aggression against the Bolivarian nation behind which are the interests of hegemonic powers and large oil companies.

In statements to the press made at the end of the ICJ hearing in The Hague, Rodriguez highlighted that the Bolviarian legal and diplomatic team had demonstrated that Guyana is not the victim but the aggressor country, which instrumentalized the Court in an attempt for repealing the sovereign legal norms that govern in Venezuela.

Britain and the Rise of Wahhabism and the House of Saud Dr. Abdullah Mohammad Sindi

...

"During the 30 years of creating Saudi Arabia (1902-32), the fanatical Saudis-Wahhabis brutally killed and wounded over 400,000 Arabs throughout the Arabian Peninsula; and carried out over 40,000 public executions and 350,000 public amputations, respectively 1% and 7% of the then estimated population of 4 million. 13 In addition, the Saudi-Wahhabi terror forced more than one million inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula to flee for their lives to other parts of the Arab world, never to return. 14

Unlike a century earlier when the Egyptian Ibraheem Pasha under Ottoman orders punished the Saudi-Wahhabi warriors for their crimes against Hejaz’s holy cities and inhabitants, this time the Arab and Muslim worlds were under the brutal control of Western colonial powers. Accordingly, the fanatical Saudis-Wahhabis escaped punishment and found protection and safety in Britain’s power and friendship."

Israeli military drops leaflets in southern Gaza city of Khan Younis calling it a "fighting zone"

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dropped leaflets in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Friday, calling it a “fighting zone” and telling residents to “evacuate immediately.”

“To the residents of Al Qarara, Khirbet Khaza’a, Abadan and Bani Suheila. You have to evacuate immediately and head to the shelter in [the] Rafah area. Khan Younis city is a fighting zone,” the leaflet said in Arabic.

During fighting prior to the recent truce, Israel repeatedly told residents of northern Gaza to move south of Wadi Gaza for their safety. The city of Khan Younis is located south of that line. The United Nations estimates that at least 946,000 internally displaced Gazans are currently in southern Gaza.

The leaflet drop came as Israel said on Friday it had resumed combat operations against Hamas after the seven-day truce.

That Donald Pabelou dude is not getting better

The newest Seymour Hersh article further cements the narrative his sources are giving him shit now in order to poison the well.

TL:DR Fictional negotiations between Zaluzhny and the Russians.

I think just is a good start to explain why its nonsense.

Scandals happen for a reason. So Zaluzhny overtook Zelensky in terms of electoral trust.2

For those not following anymore, there is a long term dispute between Zelensky and other parts of the military led by Zaluzhny over the military strategy. Zelensky favors these stupid heroic defenses that obviously always fail why Zaluzhny apparently always wanted a more defensive approach. The focus point was Bakhmut defense vs retreat and then the failed offensive.

But now the narrative also includes the elections. Zelensky's government approval is tanking for obvious reasons and Zaluzhny is possibly the main opposition candidate as head of the military and embodying the people's trust on the military over the civilian government.

This conflict between them is nothing new but this scandal is hurting Seymour's credibility a lot. Again Mercouris makes a few more points even I missed at first glance today, starting here. I think this is just the third interesting thing that happened this year during this war, he is right this is the strongest indicator of a real political crisis in Ukraine that should be undeniable, he talks more about Zaluzhny vs Zelensky after this.

Anyway the points I think are not so obvious:

1- Even if true, Zaluzhny is in no position to carry out official negotiations, he can not claim to represent the government, he certainly can't claim to have any backing from the west. This should've been strike #1 for SH's trust on the source.

2- The same is true for General Gerasimov, he is not employed in any diplomatic capacity. He is Chief of the General Staff but most importantly, the fact the source picked him shows the they have no understanding of Russian government or politics, they actually believe Russia is a military dictatorship just like Ukraine, you know that smell of neolib BS? The point here isn't "democracy"(lol) but the fact Russia has an actual functioning government with clear division of roles and functions. The fact this isn't obvious to the source makes it clear the source is entirely speaking from a western biased perspective about Russia, you can almost dismiss it entirely based on this.

3- Lavrov was just on the news yesterday saying the exact opposite of all of this, that negotiations are impossible basically because western governments put their political credibility behind support for Ukrainian "democracy" and "western values". Any negotiation would mean admitting defeat and you can be damn sure Russia wouldn't take this without gloating over it to literally everyone in the world. Why conduct any of this in secret with some dumbass Ukrainian general lol.

Now for the obvious points you can skip

1- It is so remarkable Gerasimov would just so happily echo the same BS narrative about Russia being "incapable of winning the war". Not only it goes against everything pushed by own Russian "propaganda", it goes against every combat report and situation analysis since about week 2 of the failed counter offensive, when it became obvious it was a clown shitshow. Also Russia is making slow and steady in Avdeyevka, you'd lose some serious personal credibility to even suggest it in public.

2- SH needs to google what is a Minsk agreement, surely he must know already how we got here? Why would the Russians ever trust Ukraine let alone the west now.

3- The concessions are worse than what they were even back in April 22! At the time the terms was complete Ukrainian neutrality. Somehow this idiot thinks the Russians would accept Ukraine joining NATO? Maybe its not "impossible", but not without major concessions which they're not getting in the first place. Getting to keep what you conquered isn't a concession specially when the enemy already tried to take it back and failed lol.

If I said earlier Russia would gloat over defeating western "democracy" in Ukraine then the reverse is also true, it is inconceivable now that Russia would so easily allow Ukraine to join NATO which is exactly what Ukraine wanted. It would be seen as a victory for the west and allow the Biden admin a clear path to the '24 elections.

Evacuated from the north, being bombed in the south - YouTube

Israel is currently bombing all across the Gaza Strip. Since the truce ended, the focus is on the southern areas where, at the start of this war, Israel told people to evacuate to.

Most of those who evacuated from the north can’t go back.

We have met people who have been displaced two to three times since the war began. They left the north without anything and now they are in the south being bombed.

Israeli forces also published a map yesterday … asking people in Gaza to follow instructions and directions on evacuation and safe areas. However, people do not have electricity or internet to access the map. We are at a hospital where people have been asking us if we can connect to the internet for them so they can look up this map.

The map is confusing for people and they don’t know how to deal with it. At the same time, people do not trust the Israeli forces. People feel like no place is safe [in Gaza].

Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary in Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

Her recent tweets.

Hind Khoudary (@Hind_Gaza)

A complete neighborhood was wiped off in Khanyounis. Remember the South, the safe area?

50 houses in Al Shujeyeh have been bombed by Israel today.

50 houses. 50.

Thousands remain under the rubble of bombed homes in Gaza.

Houses are being targeted by Israeli warplanes in the north of Gaza.

Israel has been imposing restrictions on our movement since 2007 since the blockade started. Today we are not even able to mobilize across the Gaza Strip.

Everything feels so dark and scary.

I am stuck in the middle area, can't go north nor south.

People do not have any place to go.

Israel asked everyone to evacuate to the South on the first week of the war. Now they trapped all the people in the South - asking them to evacuate to the South?

Israel is isolating the middle area from the southern area in Gaza.

We are not allowed to move South as the Israeli tanks are opening fire on anyone trying to cross.
