Leaked Emails Warn U.S. Diplomats Against Calling For ‘De-Escalation’ In Gaza As Israel escalates its offensive, U.S. diplomats are being discouraged from publicly using three phrases that would urge calm.

From HuffPost: As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza, the State Department is discouraging diplomats working on Middle East issues from making public statements that include language such as ‘de-escalation/ceasefire,’ ‘end to violence/bloodshed’ and ‘restoring calm.’

Civilians will pay price for biggest challenge to Israel since 1973 Inhabitants of Gaza now face the prospect of an Israeli ground offensive

"An Israeli ground offensive in response, the first since 2014, is likely. The only thing that appears certain is that Gaza’s inhabitants, already battered by four wars over 16 years, are going to pay the heaviest price."

"The US and EU sanctions against Kosovo must be reversed and replaced by restrictions against the Vučić regime. Serbia’s EU accession efforts should also be frozen until Belgrade demonstrates a serious commitment to de-escalation (...)" @jasminmuj.bsky.social

"What I would say to President Vucic is stop messing with Kosovo. Kosovo is going to defend its freedom, its independence and its sovereignty at any price," Osmani said.

the dissonance between the european perception of the suffering of armenians and the suffering of muslims in the balkans (be it in the 19th century or now) can only be explained through anti-muslim racism (rooted in the tradition of the "türkengefahr")

"The EU also has to get its own house in order. Five EU members have so far not recognised Kosovo because of a false equivalence between the circumstances of its independence and their own minority issues."

reminder: vucic is a fascist. he was milosevic's minister of propaganda. he said "for every serb they kill, we will kill 100 muslims". he uses racial slurs against albanians. he needs to be sanctioned asap. it's unbelievable how western countries appease him in spite of it all.

"EU-brokered talks between Kosovo and Serbia have become so one-sided that they have reached a dead end, Kosovo’s prime minister has said."

"Unbekannten"?.. Es sind serbische Kriminelle.

‘a kosovo police officer was killed, another was wounded, and a third was injured in an attack by organized and armed groups in a village in the north of kosovo, according to the kosovo police.’

Serbian criminals killed a Kosovar-Albanian police officer. EU/US must halt their appeasement of Vucic/Serbia immediately.

how do you get invite codes 🤔

Decision of PM Kurti to refuse compromise of EU-Serbia is absolutely right. Resistance to neo-imperial projects is necessary. Self-determination!

Kosovo vs. Romania was interrupted due to racist slogans being shouted by Romanian fans and pyrotechnics thrown apparently.

Anti-Albanian racism is real and prevalent in Europe.

🙋‍♂️ Hi there

Maybe also with certain character traits?
I met a Turkish guy some days ago who told me that his father was called "Arnavut Kemal" by compatriots because of his stubbornness😀

One of my favorite fun Ottoman facts is that certain ethnonyms became synonymous with particular professions in Istanbul. I’ve read sources where Tatar meant Postman or Courier, but I understand that Hırvat could mean Sailor or Dock worker and Arnavut a Bodyguard or Watchman.
