I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break.
My main account is here. For now, I am also using solo@fedia.io for some local news.
Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].
To where? Where will they go? Who will take them?
(To) Hospitals
How will they even be let out?
According to the article : “Under this ceasefire agreement, there is supposed to be a mechanism in place for medical evacuations. We’ve still not seen that process spelled out,”
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to explain all this.
Without knowing much about current politics in Serbia (or having actual trust or hope in governmental politics in general) I wanted to ask you: is there any interesting opposing politicians/parties/coalitions to your knowledge?
I was under the impression that:
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the US accounted for 69% of Israel’s imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023.
And that:
In May 2024, the US confirmed it had paused a single consignment of 2,000lb and 500lb bombs over concerns Israel was going ahead with a major ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. But Biden immediately faced a backlash from Republicans in Washington and from Netanyahu who appeared to compare it to an “arms embargo”. Biden has since partially lifted the suspension and not repeated it.

I was not aware of the existence of Shut the System and I like their approach, so I find it’s great you included their link to your post @silence7@slrpnk.net
Edit: Did a sort of repost to In Person Activism@slrpnk.net
Thank you very much for your insight!
Once more then. In the picture you see Sasol petrochemical plant.
Not too sure how this comment is relevant to the article?
If you just saw the picture, there is something written bellow it:

The Forever Pollution Project - Journalists tracking PFAS across Europe
In January 2025, the Forever Lobbying Project exposes the lobbying and disinformation campaign orchestrated by the chemical and plastic lobbies to prevent the ban of these “forever chemicals” in the European Union. Fighting to keep their “chemical business as usual” with misleading, scaremongering arguments, polluting industries are shifting the burden of environmental contamination onto society, threatening the economic stability of European nations.
Working with 18 experts, the project calculated the cost of decontaminating Europe if nothing is done to combat PFAS emissions: the figure is more than €100 billion per year – and a staggering €2 trillion over twenty years.
Thank you. At last something that makes sense to me in this discourse.
No matter how her narrative is now:
In 2015, the younger Le Pen expelled her father from the party after a public clash over her public moderation. “I wonder: Did you really do this?” Le Pen asked herself, according to an account she told French television in 2019. “Because it seemed so insane. But we had no choice. It was either that or the movement would disappear.”
From How Le Pen turned respectable (and why you shouldn’t be fooled) - Politico, I think this article is an ok overview (with some issues imo, but not in relation to her father).
There are historical ties between fascist Italy and Zionists.

When Jews Praised Mussolini and Supported Nazis: Meet Israel’s First Fascists
Some worrying components of Hebrew fascism are still evident in Israel’s right wing, 80 years on
Like many others in the mid-1920s, Itamar Ben-Avi, the son of Eliezer Ben Yehuda – the reviver of the Hebrew language and the editor of the newspaper Doar Hayom – expressed a liking and even admiration for Mussolini and his actions. Unlike other journalists at the time, he longed for a strong, assertive leader in the Yishuv, and found him in the person of Ze’ev Jabotinsky. Another such person – a novice commentator who began his political and journalistic career in socialist circles and at the newspaper of the left-wing Hapoel Hatza’ir organization, and who was by late 1920s writing a regular column for Doar Hayom, titled “From the Notebook of a Fascist” – was Abba Ahimeir. Together with an intellectual who was disappointed in socialist circles, a writer and poet named Uri Zvi Greenberg, and the physician and essayist Joshua Heschel Yevin, Ahimeir established a group of young people called Brit Habiryonim (The Zealots’ Alliance), whose aim was to get the country’s youth to see the light about nationalism.
From the link above:
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held up the cabinet vote on the ceasefire deal that prompted premature celebrations in Gaza and was expected to take effect on Sunday, January 19.
- The Israeli military has stepped up attacks on the Gaza Strip since the announcement, killing at least 40 Palestinians, according to media reports.

I think all (mainstream or not) media outlets have different biases, no matter how they portray themselves. Sure, they have great articles every now and then, or have less bias on some topics.
For example DW has some interesting articles on the environment and is blind to islamophobia in Germany. (Yes, I know they have some articles on the topic. Still). Or RFI tends to be problematic in relation to France’s past colonies.
I think it’s best to have different sources and draw conclusions also by reading between the lines.
Good to know!
I don’t know what you are referring to. Could you share a relevant link?
It looks like there is No ban on conversion therapy in many states in the US, parts of Australia, Sweden and several places in Europe, according to the map on the wiki page Legality of conversion therapy.
