🚨🇸🇩 The Blood is Visible From Space Peter Rothpletz on the genocide in Sudan, Trump’s latest weaponization of the DOJ, and 'journalists' from The Free Press wreaking havoc on both sides of the Atlantic.

"The sand in and around the city of approximately 400,000 is so caked with blood that you can see evidence of the RSF’s war crimes via satellite imagery, according to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL)."

Zeteo's Peter Rothpletz in today's First Draft morning newsletter, on Sudan:

Join us TODAY to launch the Green Planning Commission, rethinking planning to recover a democratic & decarbonised future from the crises of our age.

Das bei @fragdenstaat.de veröffentlichte wiss. Gutachten zu dem Projekt liest sich übrigens köstlich:

„Auf Grundlage der überwiegend sehr oberflächlichen Erläuterungen lässt sich nur schwer die wissenschaftliche Qualität des Vorhabens ableiten.“

Egal. Neun Millionen safe 🤘

Trotz Kritik: Forschungsministerium fördert umstrittenes Projekt gegen Antisemitismus Forschungsministerium fördert Antisemitismus-Projekt unter Ahmad Mansour – internen Zweifel an Wissenschaftlichkeit zu Trotz.

„Die formulierten Thesen würden auf der Vorannahme basieren, dass in einem ‚muslimischen Kulturkreis‘ antisemitische Einstellungen ‚per se gegeben‘ seien.“ — Dafür gibt’s dann halt knapp neun Mil. Euro Förderung vom Forschungsministerium an Ahmad Mansour @correctiv.org

Übrigens, das hier ist nicht nur das gezielte Töten eines Medien-Mitarbeiters sondern auch Bruch des Waffenstillstandes. Wird oft vergessen.

Truth be told, ENCOURAGING MIGRATION was considered common sense among the 76ers. White immigration for the purpose of settlement and conquest, but migration nevertheless. Suggesting otherwise is - once again - bad history.

Dass Ding ist, wenn du nicht mal bei Kindern eine Linie ziehen kannst und in den Raum stellst, dass die Ermordung eines Achtjährigen möglicherweise ok ist, dann hat Deborah Feldman schon einen Punkt wenn sie fragt ob es vielleicht die Nürnberger Prozesse wieder braucht.

Wartezeiten.
Konkret: Frauen, die vergewaltigt worden sind, erhalten nicht sofort die notwendige psychosoziale Unterstützung und Beratung, sondern müssen Monate warten. Dabei wissen wir: schwere posttraumatische Erkrankungen werden am Besten durch rasche, professionelle Hilfe verhindert.

Abschiebung trotz Arbeit und Ehrenamt im Altenheim

Gestern wurde in einer Abschiebung aus Gröditz/bei Riesa eine irakische Familie getrennt. Der Sohn in Ausbildung bleibt allein zurück.

Der Vater war 3,5 Jahre berufstätig und frisierte am Sonntag im Altenheim Senior*innen kostenlos.

Massacres under way in Darfur after militia captures besieged city, reports say Human rights groups had been predicting Rapid Support Forces would begin executing non-Arab civilians

“It is likely that thousands are being killed at the moment, and many thousands more are at risk if the RSF is not restrained.”

Coates is coming to The Hague in a few weeks and I am looking forward to hearing him speak.

This weird thing in German political discourse where the Govt argues that if they just deport enough people, the crime in urban areas will stop. It’s racist and dishonest, and when you call it out they say it’s neither. Just spend the money on jobs, housing and healthcare, you clowns.

Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für alle, die Geschichtswissenschaften ernst nehmen.

Hmm... maybe the good people at Ruhrbarone can look into it?

Israel directly controls 58% of Gaza, then lays yellow blocks even further into the territory, severely limits aid and blocks almost all medical supplies from entering. It kills Palestinians in airstrikes and demolishes residential buildings.
This is anything but a ceasefire. It's still genocide.

YouTube video by Al Jazeera English Trump: “Israel’s not going to do anything with the West Bank”

Textbook example of the perennial power move to delegitimize the content of what someone is saying by focusing on the way they say it.
Also, English native speakerism is making a comeback in international communication ...

Really important work by @adambonica.bsky.social. The parallels between the US and Europe are striking. On the one side, tons of evidence that centrism (or anti-immigration) is not a vote-winner for the left. On the other, a center-left establishment that just does not want to believe it. 1/

Why Is Trump’s ‘Peace Plan’ Focused on Deradicalizing Palestinians, Not Israelis? Israel violated the ceasefire, while Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian woman and US journalist, and Israeli rioters shut down a soccer match.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

Al Jazeera Arabic’s “What’s Hidden is Greater” documentary investigation says it has identified the Israeli soldiers and officers directly involved in the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and the ambulance crew who tried to save her. ➤ The report names officers from Israel’s 401st Armored Brigade, including battalion commander Lt. Col. Daniel Ela and field officer Maj. Sean Glass, who allegedly ordered tank fire on the family car in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa district. ➤ The soldiers belonged to a unit calling itself “Vampire Empire,” described as partly made up of foreign and dual-national troops. One member, Itay Shukirkov, is an Argentine-Israeli now facing a legal complaint in Argentina. ➤ Evidence analyzed by Forensic Architecture and satellite imagery located the tank within roughly 400 meters of the car and ruled out any cross-fire. ➤ The Brussels-based Hind Rajab Foundation has filed war-crimes cases at the International Criminal Court and in several national courts, calling the findings “proof of command responsibility in a civilian massacre.” [Read / Watch via Al Jazeera]
