I'm reading about the end of the bronze age around the Aegean, Middle East and Egypt. The Bronze age in these areas was a time of alliances, trade and prosperity. Extreme weather conditions and displaced warriors brought an abrupt end to this. Luckily it's a history book with absolutely no scary echoes for now #climate#peace#war#foodSecurity
But Mr #Putin has already ruled out that he will attend the upcoming #Ukraine#Peace Summit, which is being held in Burgenstock, #Switzerland, from 15-16 June - which Ukraine is keen for Russia's allies to attend.
Let Them...The idea behind this way of thinking is that negative people are going to do what they are going to do, so you can take back your power by letting them. You don't need to use your precious energy to fight their negativity.
In the recent update,
Norway, Ireland and Spain recognize Palestinian state saying there would be no peace in the Middle East without it while Israel condemned the move and called it "taking the side of the it's enemy".
The Spanish, Irish & Norwegian govts announced Wed that they would recognize a #Palestinian state, saying there would be no #peace in the #MiddleEast w/o it.
Israel denounced the move as giving aid to its enemy #Hamas.
The coordinated announcements are purely symbolic — but not w/o some power.
The leaders of the 3 countries said they hoped their recognition would press #Israel, the #Palestinians & the international community toward a #TwoStateSolution to the conflict.
“In the midst of a #war, w/tens of thousands killed & injured, we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for Israelis & Palestinians alike: Two states, living side by side, in #peace & #security,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said.
"Mir wurde klar, dass Soldat zu sein bedeutet, Teil der exekutiven Gehirne einer Regierung zu sein, die versucht, den Status quo aufrechtzuerhalten, anstatt uns eine Chance auf Frieden und Versöhnung durch die Lösung von Konflikten zu geben. Was mich letztendlich dazu brachte, mich zu weigern, zum Militär zu gehen, war die Lektüre von Hannah Arendts Werk „Die Banalität des Bösen“. "
More than 4 months ago, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court asked me to assist him with evaluating evidence of suspected war crimes & crimes against humanity in #Israel and #Gaza . I agreed and joined a panel of international legal experts to undertake this task. Together we have engaged in an extensive process of evidence review & legal analysis including at the International Criminal Court in The Hague
Beware of attempts to smear the ICC prosecution by claiming that ICC has "equated Israel & Hamas."
ICC has done no such thing. That's not how law works. The law works by comparing a person's behavior with what the law says is legal & illegal. That's what's happened here. Period.
I am waiting for the day when Russia will stop this war against Ukraine and maintain peace. I know it's not going to happen anytime soon.
Russia has been increasingly deploying "glide bombs" in its offensive against Ukraine, with over 200 of these weapons used in a single week to target the northern town of Vovchansk during Russia's ongoing cross-border advance near Kharkiv.
🇺🇦Thinking of all of my Ukrainian friends, volunteers I met from around the world, and the heroes on the front lines.
✈️Since 2022, I've volunteered on four humanitarian trips across Ukraine, from Przemsyl Poland then to Lviv, Kyiv and Kherson, most recently in March 2024.
I will continue to be a voice for Ukraine's strength and beauty, reminding the world of the ongoing need for support across the country. 🕊️
🌎Our collective effort can make a positive difference.
"Gruppi sionisti come Canary Mission e Antisemitism.org , individuano coloro che nei campus hanno opinioni filo-palestinesi.
Le università si trovano quindi ad affrontare pressioni politiche e da parte dei donatori per censurare i professori presi di mira."
“#Nakba and #Shoah, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust, both mean ‘catastrophe’ in English, and because both are rooted in the 1940s, they are often equated or conflated.”
“Israel’s leaders and their supporters have chosen to exist as an apartheid, racist, theocratic military occupation; all the weaponry in the world cannot secure moral defense for it—though they keep trying.”
