    Fröhliche Ostern, ihr scheinheiligen Arschlöcher!

    Die Christlich-Demokratische Weinkönigin und Ex-Bundesminsterin für Nahrungsmittelmonopole ist zum höchsten Fest der Christenheit extra ins heilige Land gefahren, um sich da nochmal von den VerteidigerInnen der #Freiheit und der #Frauenrechte erklären zu lassen, was der Muselmann für ein misogyner Satansjünger ist:


    Sie bleibt jedenfalls ihrer Rolle als Anwältin feministischer Handelsbeziehungen feministscher deutscher Nahrungsmittelkollektive treu:



    Außerdem hat sie ein Herz für Kleinwüchsige mit dissozialer Persönlichkeitsstörung:

    As Gaza Faces Famine, Israel Cuts Ties with UNRWA and U.S. Halts Funding for Critical Aid Agency

    Despite a U.N.-backed report sounding the alarm on imminent famine in northern Gaza, Israeli authorities announced Sunday they will no longer approve the passage of any UNRWA food convoys into northern Gaza. “Our ability to adequately continue saving lives is really being obstructed,” says UNRWA spokesperson Tamara Alrifai. “What’s going to happen to UNRWA if we can no longer truly operate?” The decision came as President Biden signed a $1.2 trillion appropriations bill that strips funding to UNRWA for the next year. The U.S. first suspended aid to UNRWA in late January, when the Israeli government claimed 12 of the agency’s 30,000 employees were involved in Hamas’s attacks on October 7. The unsubstantiated allegation prompted top donors to cut funding to UNRWA, though many of them have resumed funding as the agency welcomes new donor countries and an unprecedented number of civil society donations. Seeing the U.S., the agency’s largest donor, “withhold funding … is a huge blow to us,” says Alrifai. “Stripping UNRWA of funding not only shrinks its ability to respond to the looming famine in Gaza, but also puts at risk the schools, the access of kids to proper education, the vaccines, the mother and child care — everything across the region.”

    AMY GOODMAN: The decision came as President Biden signed a $1.2 trillion appropriations bill that strips funding to UNRWA for the next year. The U.S. first suspended aid to UNRWA in late January when the Israeli government leveled allegations that 12 of the agency’s 30,000 employees were involved in the Hamas attacks of October 7th. The unsubstantiated allegation prompted other top donors, such as Germany, the European Union and Sweden, to cut funding to UNRWA, although a number of countries have recently announced their intention to resume funding.

    For more, we go to Amman, Jordan, where we’re joined by Tamara Alrifai. She’s spokesperson for the U.N. Palestinian agency, UNRWA.

    Da wird nun sogar was mehr oder weniger positives über Deutschland gesagt. Und die Info hatte ich so auch noch nicht mitbekommen. Wurde das eher so im Stillen und möglichst ohne viel Öffentlichkeit gemacht?

    Zitat

    TAMARA ALRIFAI: Yes, I can talk about a few countries that just over the last few days made their contributions to UNRWA — Germany, for example, which, by the way, had not really suspended its funding. It just took a little bit of a pause to think. And they just announced — Germany just announced $45 million in income to UNRWA just in the last few days. The same, Canada, Australia, Sweden and a number of other countries that had initially withheld their funding to UNRWA following these allegations around 12 of 13,000 staff members in Gaza, now are releasing their funding.

    But I also want to talk about the role of Ireland or Spain, both of them having much increased their funding to UNRWA and also their political support. The European Union, our second-largest donor as a group, did release the large part of its funding to UNRWA. And also, countries like Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and, just today, Kuwait, all of them are supporting UNRWA. And again, income from private sources, from individuals and foundations, has skyrocketed since the beginning of this year, especially now during Ramadan, where many Muslims around the world are looking for a zakat-friendly way, so a way to donate as per Islamic Sharia law. We have this mechanism, and many, many Muslims from around the world, from Malaysia to Indonesia to Singapore, are donating to UNRWA.

    Israeli Supreme Court orders government to stop funding religious schools that defy enlistment, in blow to Netanyahu


    (CNN)—The Israeli Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the government to stop funding religious schools whose students defy the country’s mandatory military service, posing one of the most serious threats to date for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition.


    Ultra-Orthodox Jews have long held a privileged position in Israel, with their schools receiving generous government subsidies. The young men of the Haredim, as they are known in Hebrew, are in all practical terms exempt from mandatory military services – an issue that has bedeviled Israeli society since the country’s founding.

    Zitat

    Netanyahu relies on two Ultra-Orthodox parties – Shas and United Torah Judaism – to maintain a governing coalition. His wartime cabinet partners – Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz, of the National Unity Party – have been heavily critical of Netanyahu’s approach to the issue of Ultra-Orthodox conscription.


    “The judges of the High Court of Justice want to saw off the branch of existence of the Jewish people,” Ariyeh Deri, leader of the Shas party, said in a statement on X. “The people of Israel are engaged in a war of existence on several fronts and the High Court of Justice judges did everything tonight to create a fratricidal war as well.”


    Nicht ganz sicher, wie ernst diese Drohung zu nehmen ist:

    Zitat
    One of the country’s two chief rabbis, Yitzhak Yosef, said this month that the Haredim “will all move abroad” if forced to enlist. The comment drew both condemnation, for encouraging Israelis to leave during a national crisis, and ridicule, because many secular Israelis would have no problem with the Haredim leaving en masse, said the Israel Democracy Institute’s Malach.


    Aus dem CNN-Artikel:


    Zitat

    The exemption, made in 1948, came when there were few Haredim in Israel – as many were and remain opposed to the state on religious grounds – and so had little practical impact. But the Haredi community has since swelled, now comprising 24% of recruitment-aged Israelis, making the issue of exemption thornier.


    Denke nicht, dass diese säkularen Israelis sich das richtig überlegen.

    Es sind nicht nur die ultra-orthodoxen Haredim in Israel, die dem "jüdischen" Staat vorwerfen, gegen die Grundsätze der jüdischen Religion zu verstoßen. Das hört man auch von nicht so fundamentalistischen Rabbis in den USA.

    Aber diesen "säkularen" Israelis, die das Gemetzel in Gaza leider mehrheitlich völlig in Ordnung, bzw. noch nicht hart genug finden, geht's bei ihrem völkischen Nationalismus auch gar nicht wirklich um die Religion. Die brauchen sie nur, um sich als gleichsam besonders auserwähltes, wie besonders vom Rest der Welt bedrohtes "Volk" zu definieren, dem gar nichts anderes übrig bleibt, als seinen Ethno-Staat mit brutalster Gewalt gegen Frauen und Kinder von seinen Feinden zu befreien.

    Ich würde gerne sagen Hasbara-Mittelverschwendung, aber die gibt es wohl leider wirklich. Und vielleicht zweifeln die sogar ein kleines bisschen, wenn man immer so schreckliche Hamas-Propaganda überall liest, und brauchen tatsächlich Bestärkung in ihrem Glauben an die deutsche Erlösung.

    Answering questions at an “evening drinks reception” hosted by the West Hampstead and Fortune Green Conservatives in London, Kearns said: “The Foreign Office has received official legal advice that Israel has broken international humanitarian law but the government has not announced it.


    “They have not said it, they haven’t stopped arms exports. They have done a few very small sanctions on Israeli settlers and everyone internationally is agreed that settlers are illegal, that they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing, and the ways in which they have continued and the money that’s been put in.”


    Kearns told the gathering that both she and Cameron believed strongly in Israel’s right to defend itself. “But the right to self-defence has a limit in law. It is not limitless,” she said, going on to suggest that Israel’s actions put its and the UK’s long-term security at risk.


    Frage mich, ob das unserer Regierung auch passieren kann, oder ob die dafür alle zu sehr in ihrem philosemitischen Delirium stecken.

    Die Israelis sind vor ein paar Stunden wohl mal wieder auf eine iranische rote Linie getrampelt:

    Senior IRGC commander, his deputy assassinated in Israeli attack on Iran Embassy's consular section in Syria


    A commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Syria and Lebanon has been martyred in an Israeli attack on the Consular Section of the Iranian Embassy in the Syrian capital of Damascus.


    Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy, Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, were killed in the Israeli attack on Monday.

    Al-Shifa hospital devastated after Israeli forces withdraw: Here's what we know


    Israeli troops have withdrawn from the Al-Shifa hospital, Gaza's largest, two weeks after it first launched an offensive on the facility.


    Eyewitnesses to the aftermath of the raid described it as "like a horror movie," with one journalist saying: “I’m looking around me and I can’t believe what I see."
