It looks like the U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released

Although an Israeli judge granted his release from police custody, he was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate Loffredo,

Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death,

“The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target,”

The statement also called on the U.S. State Department to come to Loffredo’s defense, saying that the U.S. “has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

It seems to me you are missing the point.

This is a political suicide. I cannot say that I am for this approach but what I see is a form of protest (and maybe what I think about it is another topic). What is striking to me is that this US-backed Genocide is taking place for almost a year, and due to despair americans are even killing themselves as a form of protest.

And of course there are other forms of protesting. People try to influence politicians in so many ways so the US stops providing guns and arguments attempting to justify it.

The 15 incidents we analysed - dated May 2020-23 - resulted in 43 deaths. The initial sources were primarily local media, NGOs and the Turkish coastguard.

Dear BBC, why analyze only 15 incidents?

Btw, from UNHCR: One year on from the tragic shipwreck off Pylos, Greece

The boat, carrying up to 750 people according to testimonies, capsized on 14 June 2023. Only 104 people were rescued and 82 bodies were retrieved, leaving hundreds missing.

Since the Pylos shipwreck, more lives have been lost in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, since 14 June last year, IOM’s Missing Migrants Project has recorded at least 1,516 deaths and disappearances on the Central Mediterranean Route, with 175 recorded on the Eastern Med. In 2023, 3,155 people lost their lives or went missing trying to cross the Mediterranean, while so far in 2024 the toll has reached 923.

Please keep in mind that all (neo)colonial powers have a history that is intertwined with racism. Germany is no exception.

Racism in Germany - wiki

Racism in German history is inextricably linked to the Herero and Namaqua genocide in colonial times. Racism reached its peak during the Nazi regime which eventually led to a program of systematic state-sponsored murder known as The Holocaust. According to reports by the European Commission, milder forms of racism are still present in parts of German society. Currently the racism has been mainly directed towards Asian and African countries[1] by both the state and through the citizens which includes being impolite and trying to interfere in internal matters of African countries by the diplomats…

There have been models of capitalism that favor government interventions, they are just not prevalent now-a-days. With a model like that, for the US, Keynes provided the golden years of capitalism:

I appreciate you say that. I only wish any of the downvoting people would right a comment on why or what they didn’t like, to further the conversation.

Azerbaijan is considered part of Asia, not Europe.

List of countries in Asia

To my understanding it is in West Asia. No?

[Edit: haha you got me there, made me think it’s considered europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan#/media/File:Azerbaijan_orthographic_projection.svg]

That’s what I see on the sidebar, and what you say is irrelevant and questionable.

Not too sure how this article is relevant to a Europe community?

In a way I kind of agree with everything you mention.

On the other hand if we think of how long education has existed in Europe, it alone, would not justify the percentage of existing christians now a days.

It is important to take into consideration, who is in charge of the education. In Europe, it’s very often christians. Those in power who are not christians, more often than not, do not dare go against the prevalent religion in europe.

I suppose if you feel this way, we better leave it here for today. Maybe if you take a look at this interaction of ours tomorrow, you will have a different point of view? At least I hope so.

There is no agreement to recognise Palestine because Israel is a settler colonial power since its inception. And is backed by other colonisers.

See: The Neglected History of the State of Israel - The Revisionist faction of Zionism that ended up triumphing adhered to literal fascist doctrines and traditions.

I USE THE WORD “FASCIST” in the literal sense. Do not flinch from it. The founders of Revisionist Zionism certainly didn’t. Respect them enough to take them at their word.

In 1928, a prominent Revisionist named Abba Ahimeir published a series of articles entitled “From the Diary of a Fascist.” They refer to the founder of their movement, Ze’ev Jabotinsky (his adopted first name is Hebrew for “wolf”), as “il duce.” In 1935, his comrade Hen Merhavia wrote that Revisionists were doing what Mussolini did: “establish a nucleus of an exemplary life of morality and purity. Like us, the Italian fascists look back to their historical heritage. We seek to return to the kingdom of the House of David; they want to return to the glory of the Roman Empire.” They even opened a maritime academy in Italy, under Mussolini’s sponsorship, for the navy they hoped to build in their new Israeli state. “[T]he views and the political and social inclinations of the Revisionists,” an Italian magazine reported, “are absolutely in accordance with the fascist doctrine … as our students they will bring the Italian and fascist culture to Palestine.”

It’s intersectional.

It was coined in 1989 by professor Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe how race, class, gender, and other individual characteristics “intersect” with one another and overlap.

[Edit: Even tho race is not a scientific thing anymore, we had this narrative for so long that the term is still in use. At least it is used as a social construct. And we struggle as societies with racism. Still]

Let them go to school

are you talking to the parents?

and half of them will be ex-Muslim by college

Have you seen this happening for christians? They pretty much all go to school.

I’ve never heard of a “gentle enforcement of the law”?

Also, law enforcement often comes from the police. France is no exception to police brutality.

So it looks like we both agree on the principle, but we have very different ways of approaching a solution.

What you say sounds brutal to me. The solution would be bridging the gap between theory and practice.

If you take a look at the map in the wiki page about the International recognition of the State of Palestine you will notice that most of the countries that have not recognised Palestine have been colonisers. Having them change their position is a necessary thing that needs to be done to for peace in the region.

As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.

Just looking forward to the next country that will recognise Palestine.

If it was a ban explicitly on Muslim headscarves it’d be discriminatory.

It’s a bit trickier than that. In France schools are secular by law. In principal this is great. In practice chistians never had an issue wearing their cross neckless, even in a visible manner. Muslim girls from conservative families on the other hand can be forced to quit school at a young age, since they are not allowed to wear a scarf there.
