The same Israel that blackmails queer Palestinian civilians to become informants.

The same Israel with politicians sitting in the current government and leading parties that agree that "LGBTQ" is the biggest threat to Israel.

The same Israel that still doesn't allow same sex marriage.

The same Israel that claims that killing civilians is okay because they might be homophobic.

As a queer dude, not in my name. Fuck Israel. I don't give two craps about their pinkwashing.

Meanwhile Israel is still free to roam around at the Olympics.

Killing surrendering soldiers is a war crime. Besides that fact, it's fucking horrifying that these people will come back from Ukraine and walk around freely, knowing that they executed tied up prisoners for shits and giggles.

I love it when western leaders preach about democracy while raining down fire on people across the world.

Have them vote inside of the party. You don’t need them inside the government. There’s no reason for that to happen. Stop putting lists of names on the ballot, just put a party name, and have these experts work inside of their parties then send a representative from said party to the government to cast the party aligned vote and weigh that vote by the amount of votes they got. You’d save on the administrative costs for the parliament and all of this business would be taken care of inside the individual parties. You can still give parties money to pay their own people according to their own preferences. You don’t need to have 700 people sitting in benches in a public building to virtually cast the same vote when they could sit in benches in their own party headquarters and deal with their discussions internally.

That is if we vote only for parties and not for people.

By the same logic the entire planet should’ve already sanctioned and embargoed Israel (for what it's doing in Palestine) and the US for doing the exact same thing as Russia but in Iraq (starting an illegal war) but I don’t see that happening.

Cuba is saying these things because Russia is one of the few countries still willing to trade with them. They’ve been hit by crippling sanctions for decades for doing nothing wrong and they’re trying to find ways to survive. End the embargo and you’ll see that change quite quickly.

Then there's absolutely no reason to have individual representatives. Just have one representative per party that represents the official party line in the parliament. No need to pay 300 people to do the exact same thing in the parliament when you can have one.

And for anyone that has been following this conflict for more than just half a year, this isn't new. Israel has been doing this for decades now. It's fairly normal practice for them.

Lift the inhumane sanctions/embargo on Cuba already.

Lmao they had so many chances to codify everything and never did. They'll just throw it as yet another carrot on the stick and use it for election propaganda. "Vote for us if you want us to codify that" and then after elected they'll just act like it never happened.

Yeah.. sure. Not a tankie, I'm European and don't care about influencing you to vote for one or another. But after seeing Biden "debate" Trump I know the dems are fucked. I mean sure, still go out and vote, but I honestly don't see many people doing so.

I'm not buying this shit.

So the blog post just states that the phrase isn't illegal to use but the state still decides to "investigate" its use often by using force, arrests, and by searching peoples' homes, confiscating their electronic devices and so on. It's good to hear that the "Verfassungsblog" argues that its use isn't generally illegal, but also states that the current police proceedings are going to great extent to intimidate people

And who represents Europe as a whole? Aryans?

Or any other troops overall. War sucks. Many young people end up as cannon fodder.

Germany doesn't recognize Palestine's right to exist. It's only fair Germany gets deported

Nothing new for the apartheid entity.

the phrase “from the river to the sea” is not illegal praise of terrorism in Germany, even if you may have heard so from your equally misinformed bubble

Oh yeah, my misinformed bubble, the official government press conferences: https://youtu.be/lBmDdNZmToU?si=rsLM5CyTSjEFxBTI&t=353

Or DW https://www.dw.com/en/german-cabinet-backs-deportations-for-praise-of-terrorism/a-69480819

I've seen people (including jews) getting fined for hate speech for an instagram story containing just "from the river to the sea palestine will be free" From now on, that will also come with a deportation.

The highly esteemed german courts will have the freedom to decide what fits into which context. A social media like will land you in court. Saying that hamas committed terrorist acts but also that it is a resistance movement spawned out of the oppression will also land you in a court because any nuanced discussion is too much for the german intellect and instantly means "pRaIsInG tErRoRiSm".

I can't wait to see all the neolibs that clapped when the greens and the social democrats passed these laws, when the AfD gets in power here (which will definitely happen sooner or later, following the EU wide far right movements) and when they decide to reinterpret those "contexts" their highly esteemed german courts like to discuss so much. I'm sure this draconian stuff won't backfire. But hell, who cares, it's only Ausländer getting the short end of the stick anyway.

The US let its rabid dog off the leash again.

Apparently not. Talk to our government officials. According to them "from the river to the sea" constitutes praising terrorism.

Here is the press conference, in German. The subject is discussed from the given timestamp (5:50) to around minute 20. https://youtu.be/lBmDdNZmToU?si=PqnNvXxDdyXkrbqN&t=351
