Global outrage mounts as funeral held for five journalists killed by Israel Last post from Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif, one of ‘Gaza’s bravest journalists’, decries failure to stop ‘massacre’

Israel has killed 237 journalists in Gaza in less than 2 years.

That's more than both World Wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the US war in Afghanistan - combined.

Which is what, some 60 years combined?

Pa naj še kdo reče da Janković ni trendsetter. 🙄

This is a wild one.

My take on the so called deal between the EU and US 👇

Banja. Kislina.

The UK got exemptions because it’s small. The EU, a real export power, got punished because it didn’t act like one. Washington read the lack of retaliation as a green light to impose terms.

Aslak is right the deal may not be that bad in terms of economic effects for the EU

Israeli tactics:

1. Stop aid entering Gaza
2. Deny famine is taking place
3. When famine becomes undeniable, stall as long as possible
4. When western pressure mounts, do the minimum possible
5. When western attention moves on, return to step 1.

Someone is doing something to protect #Schengen!

Good job!

(and greetings from Moldova, hopefully one day in the EU and in Schengen!)

Dystopian. 😬

Probably the most original public monument - Što Te Nema created as a response to Europe’s worst atrocity since World War II—the systematic killing of 8,372 Muslim men and boys in the UN-protected safe area of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina in July of 1995. When the wives of those killed asked what they missed most about their husbands, they said they all missed having coffee together the most

As a person from the Balkans, this monument to Srebrenica massacre is one of the most powerful I've ever seen. Please see the Alt text for much longer description.

Referendum o NATO članstvu. Resno? Volt si želi, da bi slovenska vlada predlagala uvedbo evroobveznic ali okrepila evropsko obrambno sodelovanje, kar bi Sloveniji omogočilo dosego cilja 3 % ali 5 % BDP za obrambo, ne da bi pri tem ogrozili socialno državo. Namesto tega se napoveduje referendum o članstvu v Natu – kar je le zadnji primer zlorabe in nespoštovanja referendumov.

»Zdi se, kot da vlada niti ni poskusila poiskati rešitve, ki bi preprečila prekomerno obremenitev državnega proračuna in gospodinjstev. Namesto tega bomo verjetno priča še enemu brezplodnemu referendumu, rezom v socialne države in nakupu ameriške vojaške opreme. Skrajni čas je za evropsko rešitev.« Borja Ranzinger, soustanovitelj Volt Slovenija

»Če se posvetovalni referendumi zlorabljajo kot orodje za politično taktiziranje – bodisi za nabiranje političnih točk ali za zavlačevanje oziroma spodkopavanje zakonodajnega procesa – potem moramo kot družba resno razmisliti o uvedbi višjih pogojev za njihovo razpisovanje. Referendum naj bo iskreno demokratično sredstvo, namenjeno vključevanju državljanov v ključne odločitve. « Matic Bitenc, soustanovitelj Volt Slovenija

V Sloveniji potrebujemo glas, ki sodeluje z evropskimi partnerji. Glas, ki prepoznava potrebo po skupni evropski obrambi, vendar ne na račun socialne varnosti. In glas, ki spoštuje voljo ljudi ter verjame, da se referendumov ne sme zlorabljati za politične koristi.

The State Department document implies it is time for the US to act: far-right forces in Europe must transform their political systems so that Washington can form an alliance of civilization with “Christian nations like Hungary”.

How sea slugs give themselves superpowers Their slimy shenanigans might have applications for humans, too

Scientists have known for decades that some sea slugs pinch chloroplasts from algae. But how they pull off the heist remained a mystery, until now

Paris is indeed a changed city compared to 10 years ago. Much for the better, kudos to Hidalgo.

Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all The latest Xbox layoffs are about a long history of mismanagement as much as recent overexpansion

I'm not sure they properly understood the point of all that "industry disruption" lingo.

No matter the appeasing goals, no European politician should act this way. Shameful and unworthy of the office entrusted to him. Also high time we replace NATO with an EU defence system.

Germany’s Merz rejects review of EU economic pact with Israel European leaders are divided on whether to reexamine the EU-Israel Association Agreement in light of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Germany again with full support of the genocidal Israeli regime and against human rights. www.politico.eu/article/germ...

Is it not also true that Israel should not have nuclear weapons (which they do, without being party to the NPT regime) and Iran has a right to defend itself?
