Eine Geschichte des Antisemitismus (4/4) | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE
Oct 14, 2023 | Nach dem Ende des „Dritten Reiches“ kam das ganze Ausmaß der Nazi-Gräuel ans Licht. Und doch keimte der Antisemitismus gleich nach dem Krieg wieder auf – und Antizionismus und Negationismus wurden zu neuen Ausdrucksformen des Antisemitismus. Nie zuvor wurde Judenfeindlichkeit so stark angeprangert, strafrechtlich verfolgt und verurteilt wie heute. Und doch kommt sie zurück: verdeckt oder in schamloser Offenheit, in unterschiedlichen neuen Ausprägungen. Wie ist Antisemitismus nach Auschwitz überhaupt noch möglich?
Als Anfang 1945 die Lager nacheinander befreit wurden, kam das ganze Ausmaß der Nazi-Gräuel ans Licht, der millionenfache Mord an Jüdinnen und Juden. Diese Morde wurden als Holocaust bezeichnet, „ganz verbrannt“ meint dieses Wort im Griechischen. „Shoah“, der hebräische Begriff für den Völkermord an etwa 6,3 Millionen europäischen Juden, bedeutet „das große Unheil“. Aber gleich nach dem Krieg keimte der Antisemitismus wieder auf. Im Pogrom von Kielce im Südosten Polens wurden am 4. Juli 1946 40 Menschen jüdischen Glaubens, Überlebende der Shoah, ermordet. Auslöser des Pogroms war die angebliche Entführung eines neunjährigen Jungen, Henryk Blaszczyk. In der Folge des Pogroms kam es zu einer Emigrationswelle aus Polen nach Deutschland und Frankreich.
Nach der Staatsgründung Israels am 14. Mai 1948 wurden in den arabischen Ländern Juden, deren Vorfahren oft über tausend Jahre in diesen Ländern lebten, gezwungen, auszuwandern. Zurück blieb ein Antisemitismus ohne Juden, für den sich niemand mehr zu schämen schien.
Der Vatikan setzte dem 2.000-jährigen Antijudaismus offiziell ein Ende. Antizionismus und Negationismus, also die Leugnung des Holocaust, wurden zu neuen Ausdrucksformen des Antisemitismus. Mit dem 21. Jahrhundert begann ein neues Kapitel in der Geschichte des Antisemitismus. Noch nie zuvor wurde Judenfeindlichkeit so stark angeprangert, strafrechtlich verfolgt und verurteilt. Und doch ist die Feindschaft gegenüber Juden zurück: Antisemitismus ist heute sehr sichtbar, teils offen, teils verdeckt, sehr oft laut und in unterschiedlichen neuen Erscheinungsformen. Autor und Regisseur Jonathan Hayoun ist M.A. in Politischer Kommunikation, jüdischen Wissenschaften und audiovisueller Produktion. Er war Präsident der UEJF (Union des Etudiants Juifs de France) und Regisseur des ARTE-Dokumentarfilms „Rettet Auschwitz!“ (2017).

Israel-Hamas War: Ex-Israeli Soldier Says 'This Government Can't Defeat Hamas'

The ex-Israel Defence Forces soldier added: "The only way to defeat the idea of violent resistance is to create an alternative. One our government [Israel] opposes. So, this government can't defeat Hamas."

Tanks and Infantry Raid Gaza as Israel "Prepares Battlefield" for Ground Offensive - BBC News
Oct 26, 2023 | Israeli tanks and infantry have carried out their biggest ground raid into Gaza since the start of the current conflict. Israel’s military said they were “preparing the battlefield” ahead of an expected full-scale ground offensive.
The overnight raid came as Israel continued its massive airstrikes in Gaza, which the Palestinian authorities say have claimed the lives of 7,000 people, most of them civilians and many of them children.
Israel says its operations are targeting Hamas, following their raid on Israel on 7 October in which 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.

How Israelis Feel about Palestinian Casualties: Sky News
Holocaust: Was in Auschwitz geschah | DER SPIEGEL
I'm posting this disturbing documentary about concentration- and extermination-camps today because anti-Semitism is increasing terribly around the world. People need to be reminded of the horrors inflicted on the Jews in Hitler's Third Reich in the 1930s and 1940s. We should never forget how the Jews suffered back then. Furthermore, we must do everything in our power to ensure that they never again have to suffer such humiliation, abuse and cruelty.
Ich veröffentliche heute diese verstörende Dokumentation über Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager, weil der Antisemitismus weltweit furchtbar zunimmt. Die Menschen müssen an die Schrecken erinnert werden, die den Juden in Hitlers Drittem Reich in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren zugefügt wurden. Wir sollten nie vergessen, wie die Juden damals gelitten haben. Darüber hinaus müssen wir alles in unserer Macht tun, um sicherzustellen, daß sie nie wieder solche Demütigungen, Misshandlungen und Grausamkeiten erleiden müssen.
Je publie aujourd'hui ce documentaire inquiétant sur les camps de concentration et d'extermination parce que l'antisémitisme augmente terriblement dans le monde. Il faut rappeler aux gens les horreurs infligées aux Juifs sous le Troisième Reich hitlérien dans les années 1930 et 1940. Nous ne devrions jamais oublier combien les Juifs ont souffert à cette époque. En outre, nous devons faire tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour garantir qu’ils n’aient plus jamais à subir de telles humiliations, abus et cruautés.

Melanie Phillips: The Murderous Consequences of Western Diplomacy | Top Story
I generally agree with much that Melanie Phillips says, especially when it comes to Islam; however, in this video she mentioned several times that Netanyahu's goal is to destroy Hamas. Melanie Phillips is certainly not alone in talking about this objective. One hears it over and over. I fully understand why people want to destroy Hamas. I go along with that desire myself; wholeheartedly so. But, how on earth do people think that it can be done? I think that it's an impossibility! Why do I say this? Simply because Hamas is based on ideas; so, even if you were to be able to kill each and every member of Hamas today, the ideas behind the organization would survive, only to be taken up by a new generation of people with identical sympathies.
After World War II, Nazis were caught and were either killed or put on trial in the Nuremberg trials. Some others esscaped to South America, and elsewhere. One, Aribert Heim, known as 'Dr Death' and also the 'Butcher of Mauthausen', escaped even to Egypt, where he converted to Islam and lived under the alias Tarek Farid Hussein. Others have since died of old age in exile. But have the ideas of Nazism died along with the death of these ruthless, cruel scoundrels? Certainly not! Nazism is alive and thriving to this day; in fact, it is growing in strength and number. And not only in Germany! We have Nazis here in the UK too; and there are many in the States, and elsewhere.
And the same it will be if Israel manages to catch and kill all the murderous Hamas members of today. In time, a new generation will grow up and take up the very same ideas and ideology; after all, so many of them are rooted in Islam. Many people might not know that one of Hamas's objectives is not only the establishment of a Palestinian state, but a Palestinian state based on Sharia law, so that its people will live strictly in adherence to Islamic laws and principles. Hell will freeze over before those ideas will vanish off the face of the earth! So it is really hard to comprehend how Benjamin Netanyahu imagines he will be able to kill off Hamas the organization and Hamas's ideas too, ideas which are based on faith and Islamic doctrine.
If Hamas can be eradicated, great; but I wish someone would explain to me how. – © Mark Alexander

Qatar Ploughs Millions into Canary Wharf amid Criticism of Gulf State’s Hamas Links
THE TELEGRAPH: Sovereign wealth fund backs £400m refinancing of struggling financial district
Qatar has backed a £400m refinancing of struggling Canary Wharf in its first significant UK deal since the terror attacks on Israel sparked criticism of its links to Hamas.
Canary Wharf Group (CWG) secured hundreds of millions of pounds in extra financing from Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund and its Canadian co-owner on Wednesday as the landlord struggles with high vacancy rates.
The Gulf sheikhdom’s sovereign wealth fund, together with Brookfield Asset Management, committed £400m in equity and credit to shore up the business.
The finance injection comes as Rishi Sunak faces calls to impose sanctions on Qatar for continuing to host the Hamas leaders who directed the deadly attack on Israel earlier this month.
The former Qatari prime minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, has previously been accused of anti-Semitism by the Middle East Media Research Institute after he reportedly told a Kuwaiti newspaper: “Imagine oil [was sold] by some Jews…what would be the price of a barrel of oil?” » | Gareth Corfield \ Wednesday, October 25, 2023
Islam is an existential threat to the West. There is absolutely no doubt about it. The West will never be able to co-exist with Islam. One side will inevitably get the upper hand eventually.
When I say this, I am not being belligerent; rather, I am being truthful and prudent.
The West thinks it has the upper hand because of its advanced science and technology. It doesn’t. Disabuse yourselves of that notion! In many ways, it is Islam that has the upper hand; and for three main reasons: Sheer numbers and high birthrates; Islam’s commitment to the Islamization of the world. (When they say that the whole world belongs to Allah, they mean it. They are serious. Very serious. Damn serious!); and the West’s greed. The West’s insatiable appetite for profit. There is no end to the greed of corporations. CEOs and boards of directors would sell their own grandmothers for a few extra million. There isn’t enough money to be had for the blackguards.
Contrast this despicable behaviour with the nobler and cleverer behaviour and attitudes of Muslims in high places. They never sell-off their own assets and, further, they buy up key businesses in the West. This empowers the Ummah, the community of Muslims worldwide, and , of course, it empowers the ruling class in the Gulf; and such purchases pad out even more their coffers. Western suckers are only too willing to oblige.
Only today, it is being reported that the Telegraph, the very newspaper from which the above article is sourced, could be sold to Qatari investors. Imagine how much power the Islamic world will then wield over Britain’s ability to disseminate truth and write stories in an unbiassed way! This sort of thing is happening today right across the West. Politicians are only too willing to sanction these purchases for a few backhanders. The little people have little hope.

Police Hunt Lewiston Gunman, Saying Toll Is Likely to Rise
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The city was on lockdown early Thursday with an “armed and dangerous” man at large. At least seven people were killed in two shootings, the sheriff said.
Residents of multiple towns in southern Maine were under shelter-in-place orders early Thursday, as the police continued an overnight hunt for a man suspected of killing at least seven people in shootings at a bowling alley and a bar.
The gunman walked into the bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening and fatally shot at least seven people before moving on to a nearby bar, according to Sheriff Eric Samson of Androscoggin County. The total number of people killed and wounded was unclear. Mr. Samson said he did not know the number of casualties from the shooting at the bar.
Law enforcement officials said early Thursday that the gunman was still at large, and they released information about a man they described as a “person of interest.” They said they were searching for Robert R. Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine. On social media, law enforcement agencies said Mr. Card “should be considered armed and dangerous” and posted a photo of a man in a brown, hooded sweatshirt carrying a military-style semiautomatic rifle.
Local officials closed roads asked residents to stay home. The campus of Bates College, which is in Lewiston halfway between the sites of the two shootings, was on lockdown. » | Eoin Higgins, Orlando Mayorquin and Livia Albeck-Ripka ; Eoin Higgins reported from Portland, Maine. | Thursday, October 26, 2023

Palestinian Christians have accused Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, of “relegating” their plight behind “British domestic political and ecumenical considerations” in his comments on the Israel-Hamas war.
An open letter from Anglican parishioners in the West Bank says they are “utterly perplexed” by Welby’s public statements.
Welby spent four days in Jerusalem over the weekend to “show solidarity … with the Christian community in the Holy Land”, according to his website.
In a statement issued shortly before he left the UK, Welby appealed for the hostages being held by Hamas to be released and for humanitarian access to Gaza to be allowed.
“The evil and heinous terror attacks by Hamas on people in Israel were crimes against God and humanity. Israel has a legitimate right and duty to defend itself, and to pursue a proportionate and discriminate response to establish its security,” he said. » | Harriet Sherwood | Wednesday, October 25, 2023

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Der ehemalige amerikanische Präsident Barack Obama spricht Israel seine Solidarität aus. Er warnt aber: Eine Militärstrategie, die menschliche Kosten ignoriere, könnte nach hinten losgehen.
Der ehemalige ehemalige Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten, Barack Obama, hat Israel nach der Terrorattacke der Islamistenorganisation Hamas vom 7. Oktober zur Besonnenheit bei Militäroperationen aufgefordert. „Insbesondere kommt es darauf an – wie Präsident (Joe) Biden wiederholt betont hat –, dass Israels Militärstrategie das Völkerrecht beachtet, einschließlich der Gesetze, die darauf abzielen, den Tod oder das Leiden der Zivilbevölkerung so weit wie möglich zu vermeiden“, schrieb Obama in einem am Montag auf der Seite barackobama.medium.com veröffentlichten Beitrag.

Andrea Giambruno: Meloni's Ex-partner Dropped as TV Host over Lewd Remarks
BBC: Andrea Giambruno, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni's ex-partner, has been dropped as host of a national TV show after sexist off-air comments were leaked to another programme.
TV company Mediaset said he would maintain an editorial role on the show.
Ms Meloni announced last week that she was separating from her long-term partner after a recording was broadcast on a satirical TV show.
Mediaset is owned by the family of late prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Striscia La Notizia - The News Strip - last week broadcast a leaked recording of Giambruno talking to female colleagues about an affair he was having, and appeared to proposition one woman for group sex.
Mediaset said Giambruno was "sorry for the embarrassment and discomfort caused by his behaviour", adding that he had agreed to leave his screen role on Diario del giorno (Diary of the Day) on Mediaset channel Rete4.
The statement indicated there would be no disciplinary proceedings against the former presenter. » | Ido Vock, BBC News | Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Cornell Professor Who Found Hamas Attack ‘Exhilarating’ and ‘Energizing’ Now on Leave of Absence
NEW YORK POST: The Cornell professor who called the Hamas terror attack on Israel “exhilarating” and “energizing” is now on a leave of absence until at least the end of the semester.
Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history, went viral for the incendiary remarks to students during a pro-Palestinian protest soon after the surprise attack on Israel killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians.
“It was exhilarating. It was exhilarating, it was energizing,” he was seen telling the crowd, claiming “you would not be human” into to feel the same.
“I was exhilarated!” he said to a smattering of applause.
After initially standing by his statements, the embattled professor later apologized “for the horrible choice of words,” admitting they were ‘reprehensible” — before his students were told he would no longer teach this semester. » | Yaron Steinbuch | Wednesday, October 25, 2023

BBC World: Iran's "Sex-Change" Solution | Long Version | Reupload
If you are born with a sense of aesthetics which makes you predisposed to being attracted to people of the same sex, i.e. you are homo — Shh! — and further, you are born in a country such as Iran which is governed and ruled by the benighted, by old farts who continue even to this day to believe in the omnipotence of the old man in the sky, the old man who is so vain and insecure that he demands to be worshipped constantly and thought about during your every waking minute, and praised! — oh how much he wants and needs to be praised! — you know, the old dude with a long, long, white beard who is watching over your every move, even when you’re in the crapper!, and who is omnipotent to punish you for acting on the predispositions with which he created you, and for satisfying your desires, maybe with a tender kiss on your lover’s lips, yet he is totally and utterly impotent to stop natural disasters, such natural disasters as earthquakes, inundations, and wildfires. If you are born in such a country, this might be your fate. You might be asked, nay ordered, to change the sex with which the old man in the sky endowed you! – © Mark Alexander
Civilian Casualties in Israel-Hamas War 'Alarming,' Warns UN Secretary-General Guterres
Oct 24, 2023 | The war between Israel and Hamas has created a crisis in the Middle East "growing more dire by the hour," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said during a meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday.
"The war in Gaza is raging and risks spiraling throughout the region. Divisions are splintering societies, tensions threaten to boil over."
The Oct. 7 attack by Hamas into Israel left over 1,400 Israelis killed in the fighting. Israel has responded with a bombardment of Gaza. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 5,700 Palestinians have been killed in the two weeks since the war began.
Guterres condemned the Hamas attack and called for the release of hostages while also noting the attack "did not happen in a vacuum."
"The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing," Guterres said.
"The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas, and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people."
Guterres also called on fuel to be allowed into Gaza, which is currently being blockaded by Israel. He said United Nations efforts to distribute aid would not be possible without fuel for trucks and that Gaza's hospitals would not be able to function without electricity.

Israel Demands UN Chief Resign after ‘Horrible’ Hamas Attack Comments
THE TELEGRAPH: António Guterres backed calls for a ceasefire, as he suggested the Oct 7 massacre was linked to ‘56 years of suffocating occupation’
Israel demanded the resignation of the UN secretary-general on Tuesday over “shocking” comments in which he suggested that the Oct 7 attack was provoked by the “suffocating occupation” of the Palestinian territories.
Eli Cohen, the Israeli foreign minister, cancelled a planned meeting with António Guterres over his comments, asking him: “Mr Secretary-General, in what world do you live?”
Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, said Mr Guterres should resign immediately, saying he was not fit to lead the organisation. » | Tony Diver, US Editor ; Henry Samuel and Ben Farmer | Tuesday, October 24, 2023

Pope Accepts Resignation of Polish Bishop after Gay Orgy Scandal in Diocese
GUARDIAN EUROPE: Vatican did not say why Grzegorz Kaszak was resigning, but priest from his diocese faced criminal investigation

The pope has accepted the resignation of a Polish bishop whose diocese has been rocked by reports of a gay orgy involving a male sex worker in a priest’s apartment, as well as previous violent incidents involving his clergy.
The Vatican did not give a reason why Grzegorz Kaszak was resigning as head of the diocese of Sosnowiec, in south-western Poland. At 59, he is several years shy of the normal retirement age of 75.
But his diocese has been in the spotlight after one of his priests was placed under criminal investigation for having allegedly organised an orgy at his apartment in Dąbrowa Górnicza involving a male sex worker. Polish media reported that one of the participants of the sex party collapsed after overdosing on erectile dysfunction pills.
A prosecutor said the priest was suspected of “failing to provide assistance to a person whose life is at risk” for having allegedly tried to bar paramedics from entering the apartment. » | Associated Press in Rome | Tuesday, October 24, 2023

Yuval Noah Harari Backs Critique of Leftist ‘Indifference’ to Hamas Atrocities
GUARDIAN EUROPE: Exclusive: Sapiens author among 90 signatories to statement of dismay at ‘extreme moral insensitivity’

The Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari has backed academics and peace activists in his home country in an attack on the “indifference” of some American and European progressives to Hamas atrocities, accusing them of “extreme moral insensitivity” and betraying leftwing politics.
Harari – the author of bestselling books including Sapiens and Homo Deus – joined 90 signatories of a statement expressing dismay with “elements within the global left … until now, our political partners” who had, on occasion, “justified Hamas’s actions”.
The 47-year-old, who has recently become a high-profile political activist in Israel, opposing Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightwing populist coalition and its plan to weaken judicial oversight, told the Guardian he intervened after speaking with peace activists in his home country who were “completely devastated” and “feeling abandoned and betrayed by supposed allies” in peace efforts, after academics, artists and intellectuals signed letters which failed to condemn Hamas.
Harari’s aunt and uncle lived in one of the kibbutzim targeted by Hamas in attacks that killed more than 1,400 people and saw more than 220 people taken hostage. They had survived after hiding while gunmen went house-to-house killing neighbours.
Speaking about the reaction from parts of the left in the US and Europe while on a visit to London, Harari said it was “shocking to hear some of the responses that did not only not condemn Hamas, but placed all responsibility on Israel” and to see “the lack of solidarity with regard to the horrific attacks on Israeli civilians”. » | Robert Booth | Tuesday, October 24, 2023

Do Muslims Have a Future in Europe? With Dr Tariq Ramadan | Parts 1 & 2
WIKIPEDIA: Tariq Ramadan »
Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan cleared in Swiss rape trial: Tariq Ramadan acquitted after a Swiss court found no evidence against the former Oxford University professor. »
These two videos of discussions between the famous Dr Tariq Ramadan and Paul Williams, a British convert to Islam, are very informative for us here in Europe, in particular, and the West, in general. Listen closely to their discussion and you will hear, first-hand, the ultimate objectives of Muslims’ presence here in the West. This is not news to me. I wrote about this more than two decades ago. But it might be news to some of you.
Without wishing to sound churlish or unwelcoming, this discussion highlights in clear terms why there is a problem with devout Muslims integrating, or perhaps more accurately not integrating into Western societies. Unfortunately, many Muslims are just not able to comprehend why many Westerners are uncomfortable with the rapid growth of Islam in Western countries.
With young Western women only interested in going out into the workplace and, where and when possible, making careers for themselves, birthrates in Western countries are pitifully low. Fact is, one cannot have a high birthrate in a country when the objective of women is to go out into the workplace.
This problem can be traced back to the change in attitudes in the early Sixties. I am old enough to remember those years well. It was the birth of feminism. I remember when the book, The Female Eunich, written by Germaine Greer, was published. It caused a sensation. This book gave feminism its big break in the West. In my opinion, it was the start of the rot! Hitherto, mothers had stayed at home to procreate, raise the children, and look after the home and spouse. But to feminists, that wasn’t enough. So this, in my opinion, is one of the main reasons that the West is in the mess it is in today. But that is a story for another day.
Meanwhile, back to the point… If Western women don’t want children, Muslim women will want them. The birthrate in the Muslim commuity, the Ummah, is high. Why? Because Islam is a very family-orientated religion; and this, in my opinion, is to be respected. But it is going to cause us major problems.
So, quite how the West can stave off decline with such low birthrates, with declining morals, and by ignoring traditional family values, I do not know. But one thing is for sure: politicians of all persuasions must shoulder much of the blame, for they have played along with this nonsense. They have encouraged women to go out to work to take their place in the workplace.
So here we are! In a mess, a big mess, with Islam waiting for the next chink in our armour to show. – © Mark Alexander
Israel ist für China nicht mehr wichtig genug
ZEIT ONLINE: China lässt antisemitische Hetze im heimischen Internet zu und bezieht eine eher diffuse Position zum Hamas-Terror. Die Volksrepublik wendet sich damit von Israel ab.
Mit der Einschätzung des chinesischen Nahost-Gesandten Zhai Jun zum Gaza-Krieg können sicher weltweit politische Beobachterinnen und Beobachter mitgehen: Es bestehe die Gefahr eines großflächigen Bodenkonflikts und einer Ausweitung der bewaffneten Auseinandersetzungen entlang der Nachbargrenzen, wird er Montag von Staatsmedien zitiert. Auch damit, dass China bereit sei, "alles zu tun", um den Dialog zu fördern, einen Waffenstillstand zu erreichen und den Frieden wiederherzustellen sowie die Zweistaatenlösung und eine gerechte und dauerhafte Lösung des Konflikts zu unterstützen, wird er keinen grundlegenden Widerspruch hervorrufen.

Israel-Hamas War: "Enough of the Bigotry against Palestinians!" Piers Morgan vs Cenk Uygur
Oct 23, 2023 | Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by host and creator of The Young Turks and Presidential hopeful Cenk Uygur to discuss the ongoing war between Israel, Hamas and Palestine and a passionate and emotive debate over whether Israel's treatment and occupation of Palestine is just as bad as Hamas' attack on Israel.
Cenk says that he has "had enough of the bigotry against Muslims and Palestinians", explaining that there is far more coverage and public condemnation of the atrocities committed by Hamas than there are the atrocities committed by Israel. He questions why people do not call the Israeli government terrorists when they've killed three times as many civilians as a terrorist group.
Cenk is a powerful voice of reason. His words were sage. I didn't know that he's put himself forward to run as a Democrat. If he gets into the White House, we'll see a good America again. Were I to be an American, he'd have my vote in a heartbeat. - © Mark Alexander

Trump Is ‘Single Most Dangerous Threat’ to the US, Warns Republican Liz Cheney
THE GUARDIAN: Moderate, whose opposition to former president had cost her a congressional seat, considers a 2024 presidential run

Donald Trump is “the single most dangerous threat” the US faces as he seeks a return to the Oval Office, according to Liz Cheney, the moderate Republican whose opposition to her party leader’s presidency had cost her a congressional seat she held for six years.
“He cannot be the next president because if he is, all of the things that he attempted to do but was stopped from doing by responsible people … he will do,” Cheney – the daughter of former congressman, defense secretary and vice-president Dick Cheney – said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. “There will be no guardrails. And everyone has been left warned.”
Cheney’s fiery remarks come as the former president fights more than 90 criminal charges for subversion of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden, retention of government secrets after his presidency, and hush-money payments to the porn actor Stormy Daniels. He is also grappling with civil lawsuits over his business affairs and a rape allegation deemed “substantially true” by a judge.

Though his popularity with the general public is low, he maintains substantial polling leads in the race to clinch the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election. » | Ramon Antonio Vargas | Monday, October 23, 2023

Princess Margaret’s Steamy Affair with Eddie Fisher Revealed: ‘The Sex Was Explosive’
NEW YORK POST: Princess Margaret — the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II — engaged in a torrid affair with Hollywood superstar Eddie Fisher in 1953, with Fisher reportedly bragging he satisfied the royal “multiple times” during “explosive sex.”
“Eddie never talked about Princess Margaret in public, he respected her too much, but he told me about their encounter many, many times during our marriage. He looked back on it with great affection,” Terry Richard, Fisher’s fourth wife, told the Daily Mail in a new interview.
Details of the tryst, down to the “cigarette smoke and expensive perfume,” are included in Richard’s new memoir, “Beauty Queen Dreams,” the outlet reported. Richard, 69, was married to Fisher from 1975 to 1976. He died in 2010.
Fisher, then 24 and single, met Princess Margaret, then 22, in 1953 at the Red, White and Blue charity ball at the Dorchester Hotel in London attended by Queen Elizabeth
“He told me she was tiny with the most beautiful piercing blue eyes. He sang for 45 minutes at the ball and directed all his love songs straight at Margaret. When Eddie turned on the charm, he really turned it on,” she added. » | Jack Hobbs and Tracy Swartz | Sunday, October 22, 2023

Rishi Sunak is facing discontent among his backbenchers as he heads into the one-year anniversary of his time in No 10, with Jacob Rees-Mogg calling for the government to wake up from a “torpor”.
The prime minister is under pressure from rightwingers for tax cuts and more Conservative policies, while moderates are pushing for more centre-ground policies that deal with the cost of living to stop votes being lost to Labour.
With the one-year anniversary of his premiership due on Wednesday, up to 25 Conservative MPs are prepared to put in letters of no confidence in his leadership following the disastrous byelection losses in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire, according to the Sunday Times.
However, many more Tory MPs are resigned to Sunak leading the party into the next election because of the number of leadership changes the party has already seen since 2019. » | Rowena Mason, Whitehall editor | Sunday, October 22, 2023

Israël - Palestine : pourquoi la paix semble impossible
Oct 22, 2023 | Où va Israël ? La paix est-elle encore possible ? L'attaque du Hamas du 7 octobre 2023 et les bombardements sur Gaza font basculer le Proche-Orient dans une nouvelle guerre. Pour la comprendre, il faut aussi se pencher sur ce qui se passe depuis plusieurs années au cœur d'Israël.
La vie politique actuelle d’Israël est aujourd'hui traversée par une idéologie ancienne et longtemps marginale, qui traverse désormais la société jusqu’au sommet du pouvoir : le sionisme religieux.
Des extrémistes religieux, ultranationalistes, racistes et homophobes siègent comme ministres auprès de Benyamin Nétanyahou, à la tête du pays. Tous partagent une même attitude vis-à-vis des Palestiniens : ne pas négocier.
