  2. Democracy v lobby power

    Ever wondered why European politicians keep backing #Israel even as public opinion turns against its genocidal war in #Gaza? Groups like #ELNET play a huge role - organizing VIP trips to Israel for lawmakers, pushing ready-made talking points that equate criticism with #antisemitism, and even influencing arms deals worth billions. While polls show most Europeans want sanctions, politicians stay silent, fearing backlash or economic ties.

    […] ELNET, whose former CEO, Emmanuel Navon, presented it to the Knesset as the European equivalent of the powerful American lobby #AIPAC, operates six branches in Europe - in Paris, London, Brussels, Rome, Warsaw, and Berlin - in addition to its main headquarters in Israel. Among other activities, ELNET organizes delegations for hundreds of parliamentarians, distributes advocacy materials, promotes arms deals, and acts against pro-Palestinian movements across the continent. In recent months, a group of journalists from Germany, Israel, France, and the U.S. conducted a comprehensive investigation into the organization, aiming to shed light on its activities. The investigation, based on dozens of interviews and thousands of documents, exposes how the organization operates and its close ties with senior officials in #Netanyahu’s government and other right-wing bodies. In the few mentions of ELNET in the Israeli media, it is typically presented as a nonprofit or international/European organization focused on strengthening relations between Europe and Israel.

    ELNET’s “Wall of Questions” (#Fragenmauer fragemauer.de) Campaign: In #Germany, ELNET’s public campaign explicitly states that calling Israel’s actions in #Gaza a “genocide” is antisemitic. The campaign provides “answers” that dismiss such claims as baseless and motivated by hatred of Jews, without engaging with the legal or factual basis for the genocide accusation ​⁠

  4. Chris Minns, NSW Premier: "for the sake of Social Cohesion™, we're inviting a wanted war criminal from a rogue state to visit, granting police extraordinary emergency powers to forcefully suppress the expression of non-approved messages in non-approved locations, and installing extra Social Cohesion™ fences and barriers in the middle of the city. In order to ensure maximum Social Cohesion™ please don't come into the city, and if you do, then disobeying the instructions of one of the 3,000 Social Cohesion™ officers will result in a $5,000 fine. This is for your own good. You will cohere, or else."

  9. Leider war der #Tatort aus #Dortmund heute nach ca. 30min gelöst, aber dafür war's #Faber - also in der Regel sehr unterhaltsam, wie auch heute - und der latent schlummernde Metaplot um Rosa #Herzog und ihre Mutter wurde reaktiviert und mit Otto #Pösken gibt's noch einen Metaplot und mit Ira #Klasnić und Lorik #Duka noch einen Metaplot. Wird spannend in Dortmund. Hoffentlich.
