“The gates of hell are now opening” – who said it best, Satan or the Israeli defense minister?

To the morally-vacuous West: these are the monsters you call your friends and allies. Hang your heads in shame, you decaying husks of humanity. This is your genocide every bit as much as Israel’s. And it will haunt you forever.

“If you ask people who study the topic, they will tell you that a modern famine is a man-made disaster. Natural disasters can play a part. For example, flooding and drought can destroy crops, but relief agencies and wealthy governments can now get aid where it needs to go. So it is ultimately war and political will that keeps enough food from being grown or delivered in places like Ethiopia and Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Haiti and North Korea and, of course, now in Gaza.”

The Dutch just collapsed... again.

They were already a caretaker cabinet, waiting for elections to happen.

But a debate about imposing sanctions on Israel resulted this evening in the minister of Foreign Affairs' resignation, after which his colleagues from the same party resigned as well.

50 Palestinians must die for each of the Oct 7, 2023 victims of Hamas, and “it does not matter now if they are children”.

Exactly what Hitler and the Nazis said and did with their "Final Solution". This is gaining power in and globally.

Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv to demand end to Gaza war, but none demanded an end of killing children and civilians. Like Germans in Germany, they appear oblivious to what happens next door

"Across the German media landscape, such narratives contribute to stripping Palestinian journalists of credibility, and – in the worst case – handing Israel readymade justifications for targeting them.

Germany’s “never again” pledge should carry weight given its deeply genocidal history. Yet it rings hollow when the country’s dominant outlets launder or supply propaganda to legitimise mass killing in Gaza. This is not journalism in the service of truth – it is journalism in the service of violence. Breaking this cycle would require a serious reckoning with the editorial cultures and political loyalties that have enabled German journalism to be weaponised in this way.

The killing of journalists in Gaza makes one thing painfully clear: Israel does not want a record to be left. When the history of this genocide is written, there will be chapters on the media’s role. Germany’s section will be uncomfortably large. No one should …
