The German Interior Ministry that has classified the use of the phrase "From the river to the sea" as potentially criminal sponsors an event featuring posters of Greater Israel "from the river to the sea" with the Ministry's logo.
In Potsdam organisiert die Jewish Agency for Israel und bewirbt die Veranstaltungen mit einer Karte von Großisrael, inklusive Gazas, des Westjordanlands und des Golans, also Israel vom "Fluss bis zum Meer" ohne Palästina. Gefördert wird das Ganze vom Bundesinnenministerium.

Allen denen verfassungsmäßig verbriefte Grundrechte etwas bedeuten, empfehle ich die Rechtsauffassung des wissenschaftlichen Dienstes des Bundestages zur Lektüre: der Vorstoss aus Hessen ist klar verfassungswidrig. bundestag.de/resource/blob/1…

The mea culpa moment of the British Labour Party. Many others will have to follow.
Labour’s initial response to the treatment of Gaza caused huge hurt. We got it wrong and I am sorry for that.

Quite telling that three MPs speak under condition of anonymity on the engineered campaign in Germany against #UNRWA. Cudos to @isacademartori for speaking up! haaretz.com/world-news/europ…

A doctor who saved lives in #Gaza is now fighting for his own. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya - detained without charges for over 500 days- is reportedly being tortured & at an imminent risk of death in Israeli detention. Abu Safiya is among 14 Gaza doctors (pediatricians, surgeons & other specialists) who remain detained without charge, many for more than a year. Their continued detention deprives patients of vital care & further undermines Gaza’s shattered healthcare system. Their release is essential to saving lives + restoring Gaza’s shattered healthcare system. @DrTedros

🇩🇪 Deutschland hat die Wahl zum nichtständigen Mitglied im UN-Sicherheitsrat verloren. 🇺🇳 Das ist kein Pech, sondern liegt an einer Außenpolitik, die das Völkerrecht à la carte auslegt, schreibt unser Kollege Marcus Schneider. ipg-journal.de/regionen/glob…

Beim 2. Irakkrieg oder Afghanistan und Libyen gab es noch Diskussionen, ob die militärischen Angriffe durch das Völkerrecht gedeckt waren. Seit der Zeitenwende spielt das Völkerrecht eine immer geringere Rolle. Diese Entwicklung kann niemand bei Verstand gut finden.

EU statement on Syria agreed by all 27 states. EU is right to urge protection of all minorities but singling out Christians - as if more important than others - is exactly the sort of sectarian thinking that should be avoided. Hope the Syrian people will be wiser.

I have no news about my detained father in Syria. Like millions of Syrians, I’m torn between hope & fear. We’re searching through harrowing videos, clinging to any chance. Yet, Key international humanitarian organisations are absent. The weight of waiting is heavier than ever

Dass meine Mutter nach den nicht enden wollenden Sorgen, schlaflosen Nächten und Albträumen der vergangenen Jahre im Alter von 83 nochmal die syrische Fahne schwenken würde....

My advice to journos covering Syria: this is a complex story to tell with a criminal regime, bad actors, foreign influence & uncertainty of what's to come. Tell complex stories, but center your stories in the agency of Syrians. It's their story, their country, their freedom.
