QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The upcoming Turkish elections on May 14, especially if they yield an opposition victory, will be “a rare opportunity” for the US to broker a Turkish-Kurdish peace, argues a new report by the New Lines Institute, a Washington-based think tank....

In one clip, Neumaier was seen singing the Nazi-era German national anthem along with ...

I find this more so much more disturbing

solo ,

The "Horst-Wessel-Lied", also known by its opening words "Die Fahne hoch", was the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the de-facto co-national anthem of Nazi Germany, along with the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied". The "Horst-Wessel-Lied" has been banned in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II.

But this politician sang the Deutschlandlied

Not too sure where this info comes from?

solo ,

Ok I now see what you mean. Thanks for the link, unfortunately for some reason the video doesn't play for me so I can't hear it. Still in the article you linked they say he sung the nazi-era Deutschlandlied version, which includes the 2 first verses. The current version has only the third one.

US military says Gaza Strip pier project is completed, aid to soon flow as Israel-Hamas war rages on ( apnews.com )

The U.S. military finished installing a floating pier for the Gaza Strip on Thursday, with officials poised to begin ferrying badly needed humanitarian aid into the enclave besieged over seven months of intense fighting in the Israel-Hamas war....

"You take some flour. We made a floating pier for you."

"And you take 1 billion dollars in arms to kill those you starve to death."

solo OP ,

I'm kinda surprised the number is as low as 500, considering 35k have been killed in total, by all reports.

If you take into consideration that the West Bank is not the in this "war", how does this number sound like?

solo OP , (edited )

Now that you mentioned maps, I thought of sharing the United Nations one of this region, from September 2023.
It includes details of Isreal's perimeter fence and shows the few entry points to Gaza, as well as some other chilling details on how Israel controls the state of Palestine.

Btw Gaza and the West Bank are Palestine. The State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, just not by the traditional colonialists (US, Israel, most EU, Australia) and a few more. "Devide-and-conquer" is the name of the game.

[Here are included some more maps, with recent & scary details from UN of the region]

So this title claims that

US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters

After that we get nothing but in more words:

It’s unclear what was depicted in the deepfakes

The NSA declined to comment.

And some bits that kinda contradict the danger implied in the title

The Chinese and Iranian operatives never disseminated the deepfake audio or video publicly

While they didn’t deploy their deepfakes in 2020, Iranian government operatives

At the time, some US officials who reviewed the intelligence were unimpressed, believing it showed China and Iran lacked the capability to deploy deepfakes in a way that would seriously impact the 2020 presidential election

Finally, we arrive to the funniest part:

This story has been updated with additional information.

So the info is that there is no info? And this was written by 3 people? Give us a break CNN

The brothers created 16 Ethereum validators and targeted three specific traders who operated MEV bots, the indictment said.

To activate 1 validator you need 32 ETH.
So for the 16 validators they got, it would be 512 ETH. Prices in December 2022 for eth were around 1200$. So they "invested" in this fraud over 600,000$.

Today's eth price is around 3000$ so they'd be having over 1.5 mil, if they weren't that greedy

solo ,

And how on earth did you arrive to this arbitrary conclusion?

solo OP ,

Why you say this the author seems legit. No?

solo OP ,

His narrative is hilarious. Not me, everybody else

solo OP ,

Again then. Sometimes it's important not to talk about others and spend some time self reflecting. He's not there yet. For me, the power of denial is overrated.

UNRWA to close East Jerusalem headquarters after arson attack by ‘Israeli extremists’ | CNN ( edition.cnn.com )

In a statement on social platform X, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the arson attack was the latest in a series of threats, harassment and violent incidents perpetrated by Israelis against the agency’s staff over the past two months....

solo OP ,

Is it a type of irony, a type of consistency, or both?

His brain is so toxic that the unfortunate worm died of poisoning.

solo OP ,

Totally. Maybe something like have been doing for decades would be closer to reality.

solo OP ,

Great question, hadn't thought about it this way.
Well it looks there is a list of people detained by the International Criminal Court, not too sure what their positions or titles were tho.

solo OP ,

Milosevic's trial was also in Hague but by a different court. See:

Agreed its not one man. It's zionism

solo , (edited )

In the link I provided above it says something very similar:

While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.

Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. [...]

Apart from that when you say There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with I must inform you that this is not the case.
