For decades, the liberal camp in Israel has cultivated a convenient and effective defense mechanism. When faced with uncomfortable moral questions about Israel’s actions, responsibility was usually assigned to the far-right, “NAZA” attacks that alibi. Why ‘NAZA’ terrifies Israel’s liberal elite 👇

It’s a badge of honour for @bylinetimes.bsky.social to be banned from Reform and Conservative conferences - like being banned by Russia or China, it says more about them, than the journalists. Also, so ironic that the parties which waffle on about freedom of speech are the most scared of it.

If you want to understand why Ireland is so anti-colonial, anti-apartheid & anti-genocide you need only look at our history. A history, BTW, that includes two Irish presidents of Israel & the first Chief Rabbi there. It’s not about religion as you can see in this deep dive into the research above:

Why does Ireland care so much about Palestine?
As long as Irish people see their own history in the Palestinian present, Ireland's distinctive position in the world is unlikely to change

Europe-Russie: la tension monte #ukraine #DessinDePresse pour l'Opinion sur un article de Clément Daniez & Simon Carraud à lire ici : inkd.in/eFjCK79X
This political cartoon, created by the artist Kak for the French newspaper l'Opinion, satirizes the European Union's response to Russian hybrid warfare.
Symbolism and Meaning
• The Russian Ship: Flying the Russian flag alongside a pirate flag, the ship represents Moscow launching aggressive operations. The cannon fire labeled "BOM BOM BOM" represents hybrid attacks—such as cyber warfare, sabotage, disinformation campaigns, and political destabilization—targeting European nations.
• The Castle on the Cliff: Adorned with the European Union flag, the fortress represents the EU. It is situated high up, isolated, and visibly out of touch with the reality below.
• The Collapsing Cliff: Instead of firing directly at the castle walls, the Russian ship is blasting away at the rock foundation beneath it. The cliff is rapidly eroding and collapsing, threatening the entire structure.
• The Dialogue: A figure inside the castle looks out and naively remarks, "Ils ne nous tirent pas vraiment dessus" ("They're not really shooting at us").
