Iranian authorities are unlawfully executing protesters and political dissidents on a weekly basis, a relentless attack on the right to life. From March 18 to the end of August 2026, Iran’s authorities announced the executions of 29 people in connection with recent protests. bit.ly/4cA0RCP

Fast alle deutschen Medien berichten über eine Warnung der Emirate zum 7. Oktober – DAS IST FALSCH. Laut der Haaretz-Recherche kam die Warnung, gerichtet an Israel, von Hamas-Chef Sinwar – anscheinend, um Netanjahu wieder in Verhandlungen zu bringen. Die Emirate haben sie lediglich übermittelt.
To understand the seriousness of Sinwar's threat, Coal Eyes was asked to hold another meeting with him in Gaza. The meeting took place in mid-September 2023.
"Well?" Sinwar asked. "Did you convey the message to the Israelis?"
"No," the mediator replied.
Sinwar took a deep breath, and in a chillingly quiet voice told him: "Convey a message to them that I am preparing the mother of all surprises. A terrifying operation. Something extraordinary." Again, he rolled the word "zilzal," earthquake, on his tongue. "Please convey to the Israelis what I am saying word for word," he demanded.

Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal according to international law. The hysterical response today to this common-sense move by the UK government is an indication to the level of impunity the settlement project has enjoyed.

The European old guard's staunch position of no-sanctions-ever-regardless-what-Israel-does is untenable. And it only guaranties that when the shift comes - and it will come at some point - the correction would be more aggressive.
