Netanjahus alter Traum erfüllt sich
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Jahrzehntelang warb Israels Ministerpräsident für einen Militärschlag der USA gegen Irans Atomprogramm. Lange vergeblich. Jetzt sieht er sein Ziel in Reichweite: Frieden durch Stärke.
Zu Beginn des Krieges gegen Iran habe er den Israelis versprochen, dass die iranischen Atomanlagen „auf die eine oder andere Weise zerstört werden“, sagte Benjamin Netanjahu kurz nach den amerikanischen Angriffen in der Nacht zum Sonntag. „Dieses Versprechen wurde gehalten.“
Für Israels Ministerpräsidenten sind die amerikanischen Bombardierungen dreier Atomanlagen in Iran die Erfüllung eines alten Traums. Über Jahrzehnte warnte der 75 Jahre alte Politiker vor einer iranischen Atombombe und forderte, diese Möglichkeit müsse verhindert werden – notgedrungen am besten mit militärischen Mitteln, gemeinsam mit den USA. Er sprach im amerikanischen Kongress und in der Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen, mahnte und drohte. » | Von Christian Meier, Kairo | Sonntag, 22. Juni 2025
Bombardements américains en Iran : Téhéran esseulé sur la scène internationale
LE FIGARO : La communauté internationale appelle désormais toutes les parties à la désescalade, en privilégiant la voie diplomatique. Si les pays arabes s’inquiètent d’une «escalade», seuls les très rares alliés de l’Iran condamnent une «agression».
Après l'attaque américaine contre plusieurs sites nucléaires iraniens dimanche 22 juin 2025, par laquelle les États-Unis ont rejoint Israël dans sa guerre contre la République islamique, le président Donald Trump a souhaité le retour de la paix au Moyen-Orient. «Les installations essentielles d'enrichissement nucléaire de l'Iran ont été intégralement et totalement détruites. L'Iran, le caïd du Moyen-Orient, doit maintenant faire la paix», a déclaré le président américain dans une allocution télévisée. Les États-Unis menacent en revanche Téhéran de nouveaux bombardements si «la paix ne vient pas rapidement». » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | dimanche 22 juin 2025

“Fordow Is Gone”: The US Enters the War in Iran
THE OBSERVER: After ordering bunker-busting bombs to be dropped on the nuclear enrichment facility, Trump threatened that retaliatory strikes would end in “tragedy for Iran”
he United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran early Sunday morning, with President Trump entering the war to stop the threat from “the world’s number one state sponsor of terror”.
Six B-2 stealth bombers dropped at least six bunker buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear site, which lies deep in a mountainside near Tehran. American warplanes and navy submarines also attacked two other sites, a uranium enrichment centre at Natanz and a nuclear fuel storage facility at Isfahan.
Addressing the nation from the White House on the biggest gamble to date of his presidency, Trump said that Iran’s key nuclear plants were “completely and fully obliterated”. The scale of the damage has not been independently confirmed.
“Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror,” Trump told the nation. I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.”
“Remember, there are many targets left,” he continued. “Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal, but if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.” < ahref=https://observer.co.uk/news/international/article/fordow-is-gone-the-us-enters-the-war-in-iran target=_blank> » | Jon Ungoed-Thomas | News reporter | Sunday, June 22, 2025

Antisemitismus – Judenhass in der Schweiz | DOK | SRF
May 22, 2025 | Beschimpfungen, Anspucken, Tätlichkeiten oder Angriffe auf Leib und Leben. 2024 gab es in der Schweiz so viele antisemitische Vorfälle wie nie zuvor. Jede dritte jüdische Person erwägt, nach Israel auszuwandern.
Es ist nicht einfach, Jüdinnen und Juden zu finden, die offen über das Thema Antisemitismus reden. Zu gross ist die Angst vor den Folgen. Wer sich offen zum jüdischen Glauben bekennt, lebt gefährlich.
«Man ist immer davon ausgegangen, dass die Schweiz im Bereich Antisemitismus speziell ist, dass sie anders tickt als die europäischen Länder», sagt Jonathan Kreutner, Generalsekretär des Schweizerisch Israelitischen Gemeindebunds (SIG). «Das ist nicht mehr so.»
«DOK» spricht mit Jüdinnen und Juden in der Schweiz und fragt, wie sie Antisemitismus in ihrem Alltag erleben und wie sie damit umgehen. Erfahrungen haben alle schon gemacht damit. Die Reaktionen sind sehr unterschiedlich: von resigniert bis kämpferisch.
«Antisemitismus in der Schweiz hat sich spürbar gegen jeden Widerstand durchgesetzt. Was vor dem 7. Oktober im Versteckten gedacht und gesagt wurde, ist an die Oberfläche gespült worden», stellt der SIG fest.
Aufgepaßt! Diese Doku ist für Kinder und hochempfindliche Leute ungeeignet. – Mark

Michael Lambert: Are Things Really Bad Everywhere in Europe?
Jun 21, 2025 | In this video, I visit Munich, the capital of Bavaria and the third largest city in Germany.
The German economy has suffered from the ending of gas supplies from Russia and from a decline in sales to China; however, there are few if any signs of economic decline in Munich.
Although I visited on days when the shops were closed, there were plenty of people in the city centre and pubs, restaurants, beer gardens, and beer halls were all very busy.
Although this was only a brief visit to a small part of the centre of the city, it was clear that the German economy will survive and adapt,
Whilst in Munich, I was also able to visit Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, where I filmed another video which can be viewed here.

Global Journalist: Gay Rights in the Arab World
Sep 22, 2016 | One of the hardest regions of the globe to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is the Arab world.
In Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the punishment for the crime of sodomy is death by stoning, and many other countries impose prison sentences.
Also challenging is the fact that the stigma associated with being LGBT is so great, many people feel they can’t come out even to their family or closest friends.
On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at the uncertain lives of LGBT people in Arab nations.
Joining the program:
*Saleem Haddad, the Jordanian-born author of the new novel "Guapa," about the outing of a young gay man in an unnamed Arab country.
*Graeme Reid, director of the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch
*Esra'a Al-Shafei, a Bahraini activist and director of Mideast Youth, network of online platforms that amplify marginalized voices in the region.
*Antoun Issa, a senior editor at the Middle East Institute who has written extensively on LGBT issues in the region.

Iran Foreign Minister Accuses Israel of 'an Outrageous Act of Aggression' | BBC News
Jun 20, 2025 | Iran’s foreign minister has warned that Israel’s attack on his country is a "historic moment for human civilisation" in which countries must stand up for international law.
Speaking to the UN Human Rights Council, Abbas Araghchi said Israel attacked his country in the "midst of an ongoing diplomatic process" with the US about Iran’s nuclear capability - a process he said has been "promising".
He described Israel’s surprise attack as "an outrageous act of aggression", a "stark violation of the UN charter," which defied ‘the standards this council stands for.’
Israel has been hit by a new round of Iranian strikes this afternoon. It said its military had attacked dozens of targets, including what it called missile manufacturing sites in Tehran.

Brexit Remorse - Was Leaving the EU a Mistake? | DW Documentary
Jun 20, 2025 | On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted in a referendum to leave the EU. In 2020, the exit took place. Years later, none of the Brexit promises have been kept.
In the face of a deep economic and social crisis, many Britons now believe that leaving the European Union was a mistake. There is a great deal of anger in society, cutting across all generations. The anger is felt both among those who voted for Brexit, and those who voted to remain in the European Union.
Since the referendum, five prime ministers have resigned in succession -- four of them with a bang --because they were unable to fulfill their populist promises. How did this political chaos come about?
Many Britons are now talking about "Bregret” - regret about the exit. The film explores the future of this increasingly divided kingdom. What legacy will former Prime Minister Boris Johnson leave behind? What direction will the country take, in this complex transition period?
From initial hope to current regret, this investigation provides a detailed overview of the post-Brexit era in the UK.
