  • Insgesamt ein interessanter Artikel, einige Punkte finde ich jedoch falsch.

    Denn ganz Europa (und Länder darüber hinaus) erleben es oder haben es schon erlebt. Ostdeutschland ist nicht die Ausnahme, Westdeutschland ist es.

    Hier wird das Problem wieder in den Osten abgeschoben, obwohl die AfD überall in Deutschland stark ist, dort wo die AfD nicht ganz so stark ist, oft die Union besonders rechtsextrem, und nicht zuletzt wind die AfD Eliten überwiegend Westdeutsche, die das Potential aus den geplatzten Wendelügen in Ostdeutschland erkannt haben.

    Denn fällt Deutschland, fällt Europa. Es gibt kein Land, das diesen Platz einnehmen kann

    Der Satz könnte von einem “gemäßigten” AfDler stammen.

    Zumal es außenpolitisch zwei Positionen gibt, die für Konservative nicht zu übernehmen sind: die Haltung zu Russland und die Haltung zu Israel.

    Die AfD ist der stärkste Unterstützer Israels in Deutschland und Netanyahu such systematisch den Schulterschluss mit europäischen Faschisten, auch der AfD. Dabei sind extremer Rassismus, ethnische Säuberungen, Ethnonationalismus und Völkermord bestens kompatibel mit den europäischen Faschisten. Auch für die Union, FDP, SPD und Grüne bietet die Unterstützung für Israel ein super Motiv, um den eigenen Rassismus auszuleben, ebenso wie autoritäre Angriffe auf Wiseenschaft, Kultur und Grundrechte durchzuziehen. Auch dafür findet man bei der AfD begeisterte Zustimmung und die benannten Parteien stimmen gemeinsam für entsprechende Maßnahmen und Forderungen.

    Insodern verkennt das Essay auch, dass die anderen Parteien offenbar nur ein begrenztes Interesse haben, sich dem Faschismus entgegenzustellen.








  • It should be noted that Reichelt of Nius is the former editor in chief of the Bild tabloid, by Axel Springer. Reichelt was let go after the NYT and other Americam media published a story about Reichelt sexually harassing and having affairs with employees.

    German publications about that scandal initially were shot down through the influence of Axel-Springer and they only let Reichelt go reluctantly, when the pressure got too high. Now Nius serves as a chain link between the activist Fascist far right and the far right and broader right.

    This is why this campaign has been so succesfull. There have been many links established to help normalize the Fascist agenda and the supposed center is willfully receptive of it.




  • The UK is digging its own grave here.

    First of all persecuting peaceful protestors as “terrorist supporters” for supporting a group that is designated as “terrorist” for non violent civil disobedience is dystopian authoritarian nightmare fuel.

    Furthermore this will waste a lot of resources in the counter-terrorism units, judiciary and prison system.

    Then this will motivate for escalations. As peaceful protest is crushed and persecuted as “terrorism”, there is no legal reason not to commit acts of actual violence. If people are branded “terrorists” and imprisoned for many years either way, they might as well “make it worthwhile”.

    Finally this whole bullshit is weakening the perception of actual terrorism and support for terrorist organizations as a problem. If everyone is a terrorist for not licking the boots of the government, no one is a terrorist.




  • I can’t claim him to be from my country, but i think everyone should know about Janusz Korczak, who ran an orphanage for Jewish children in Poland and refused to be save so as to not abandon his children. He was murdered in the Treblinka extermination camp in August 1942 together with the children, who he stood by until their last journey.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janusz_Korczak#The_Holocaust_and_death

    Korczak’s diary survived the war; the last entry in it is from August 4.[44] On 5 or 6 (sources vary[44]) August 1942, German soldiers came to collect the 192 orphans (there is some debate about the actual number: it may have been 196) and about one dozen staff members to transport them to the Treblinka extermination camp. Korczak had been offered sanctuary on the “Aryan side” by the Polish underground organization Żegota, but turned it down repeatedly, saying that he could not abandon his children.[45] On 5 August, he again refused offers of sanctuary, insisting that he would go with the children,[45] asserting his belief: “You do not leave a sick child in the night, and you do not leave children at a time like this”.

    I recommend everyone to read more of his story.



  • This is the same argument like “if we dont sell them weapons, someone else will.”

    If Russia had the capabilities to do so, they wouldnt rely on Western companies to do it for them. But even if they did, not making ourselves dirty with complicity should be a good enough goal in itself.

    Unfortunately it seems that we are morally this bankrupt that instead of saying “nope” we rather say “this will cost extra, but sure lets do it”






  • You can follow their press releases. As far as i know the case in Brazil was the closest call for an IDF war criminal yet, having to flee from legal prosecution with the help of his embassy.

    The HRF acknowledges, that it is an uphill battle. However this serves three purposes already. First of all these crimes don’t fall under statue of limitations. If only these criminals are properly prosecuted in 30 years, the groundwork is laid now. Furthermore it creates pressure on complicit or inactive countries to actually do something, lest they can be held accountable later themselves. Finally by challenging the impunity of the Israeli war criminals, these criminals cannot relax on their holidays as easily anymore before going back to murdering Civilians. This means they will be less attentive and more prone to making errors, which leads to less Palestinians being murdered.

    See this interview with the founder of the Hind Rajab Foundation, Dyab Abou Jahjah for an explanation of their goals and effects.
