Finde Kritik an Staatsäson wichtig. ABER: Staatsäson hat(te) mit Fachcommunity nichts zu tun. Welches Fach wäre es denn? Die Erinnerungsforscher*innen oder die Holocaustforscher*innen. Staatsräson war ein polit, Programm, undemokratisch in Szene gesetzt. Dazu:

Israel, Gaza, and the Starvation Weapon
The ICC tests a rarely prosecuted war crime.

"Unlike other war crimes codified in the aftermath of the two world wars, the use of starvation as a weapon of armed conflict was not formally prohibited in international law until 1977."

The secret history of Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa
Is the man once known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani intent on moderating or a brutal strongman?

“Sharaa had no problem spilling blood,” said one allied fighter, who was formerly a rival, “as long as other solutions were attempted first.”

Has China already reached peak oil?
The country’s demand for crude seems to be plateauing sooner than expected. The implications are huge
“For 5 megawatts of wind-generated power you need 50 tonnes of plastics. For every electric vehicle you need 200-230kg of plastic. Even in solar panels, 10 per cent comes from fibre and so on. So for the transition to happen you need more oil.”
