Israel announced the initial phase of “Gideon’s chariots,” the expanded ground invasion to permanently “conquer” Gaza, amid reports that Trump reneged on his deal with Hamas to lift the blockade, and will reportedly expel 1 million Gazans to Libya.
Von Pavel Durov auf Telegram. Er riskiert viel für die #Meinungsfreiheit:
„Eine westeuropäische Regierung (raten Sie mal, welche 🥖) ist an #Telegram herangetreten und hat uns gebeten, konservative Stimmen in #Rumänien vor den heutigen #Präsidentschaftswahlen zum #Schweigen zu bringen. Das habe ich rundheraus abgelehnt. Telegram wird die #Freiheiten der rumänischen Nutzer nicht einschränken oder ihre politischen Kanäle blockieren.
Man kann die #Demokratie nicht "verteidigen", indem man die #Demokratie zerstört. Man kann keine #Wahlbeeinflussung bekämpfen, indem man sich in #Wahlen einmischt. Entweder man hat #Redefreiheit und faire Wahlen - oder man hat sie nicht. Und das rumänische Volk hat beides verdient. 🇷🇴“
Les sanctions américaines frappent, Karim Khan, le procureur général de la CPI : ses e-mails sont bloqués, ses comptes bancaires sont gelés et 900 membres du personnel sont interdits d'entrée aux États-Unis.
Le procureur en chef de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI), a été placé sous sanctions américaines par l’administration Trump en février 2025, dans le cadre d’une tentative visant à contraindre la Cour à mettre fin aux enquêtes sur les abus israéliens à Gaza.
Son compte de messagerie Microsoft officiel a été désactivé et ses comptes bancaires britanniques gelés.
De plus, les 900 membres du personnel de la CPI se sont vu interdire l'entrée aux États-Unis, accusés de mener des enquêtes « illégitimes » sur des crimes de guerre présumés commis par Israël.
Le gouvernement américain a menacé toute personne ou organisation fournissant à Khan une assistance financière, matérielle ou technologique de se voir infliger des amendes ou des peines de prison.
Le jour où Karim Khan, a annoncé qu'il a soumis des demandes de mandats d'arrêt contre Benjamin Netanyahu et Yoav Gallant, dans le cadre de l'enquête sur la situation en Palestine. (20/05/2024)

Enver Hoxha: N. Khrushchev, slandering our Party at the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and crudely interfering with our domestic affairs, said that the Albanian leaders were against the criticism of Stalin's personality cult because the personality cult methods are allegedly thriving in our Party, that terror and injustice are allegedly reigning in Albania. We shall not stop here to reject these slanders, but the fact that their author has fallen so low as to mobilize the public opinion against our Party using such "arguments" borrowed from the most rabid enemies of socialism and communism, shows his dark aims. It is evident that by linking at the 22nd Congress his unsubstantiated attacks on the Party of Labor of Albania with his "fight against Stalin's cult and the anti-party group", N. Khrushchev aimed at showing the "analogy" between the alleged "Albanian Stalinism" and the "epoch of the Stalinist crimes" in the Soviet Union, in order to create in this way the "atmosphere" he needed at the Congress and in the world public opinion to make his slanders more credible. The Party of Labor of Albania has always taken and continues to take account of the teachings of Marxism-Leninism concerning the role of the masses, classes, party and leaders. It has always considered and continues to consider the manifestation of the personality cult as phenomenon alien to Marxism-Leninism, harmful to a communist and workers' party. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation.

Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation.

US President Donald Trump has said that he will hold a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday, 19 May, where the two heads of state will discuss the ceasefire in Ukraine and trade and economic issues.
“This isn’t 'The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” #Worsoff told the newspaper, referring to the dystopian fictional novel by #SuzanneCollins, in which contestants fight to the #death for #survival. “This is not, ‘Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country.’ ”
Nous n’oublierons ni ne pardonnerons jamais à quiconque a fermé les yeux, fait la sourde oreille et tourné le dos au peuple palestinien et à Gaza alors qu’ils étaient soumis au massacre et au génocide.
They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.
Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it's still been 10+ months since the last update.
I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. ~~Actual FOSS,~~ huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It's a champion.
Here's hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.
Mes amis, Il y avait une fois un continent qui n’en finissait plus de donner des leçons au monde entier. Sur toutes les scènes internationales, il prêchait la justice, le respect des lois, la solidarité entre les peuples. Les mots étaient beaux, puissants, martelés à coups de grands discours.
Mais voilà qu’un jour, alors que le peuple palestinien subissait un siège interminable depuis près de deux ans, un retournement inattendu survint. Ceux que l’on désignait sans cesse comme les mauvais élèves de la communauté internationale, ceux à qui l’on reprochait leur manque de principes, ce sont eux qui décidèrent d’agir. Tandis que les puissances européennes s’enfermaient dans le silence et les promesses vides, c’est la Chine souvent critiquée sur tous les fronts qui prit l’initiative d’envoyer de l’aide humanitaire, brisant le blocus imposé par l’État sioniste.
Imaginez la scène : ceux qui passaient leur temps à prêcher la morale sont restés figés, incapables de passer à l’action, pendant que d’autres prenaient concrètement le parti de l’humanité. Le comble de l’ironie, c’est de voir ceux qui étaient critiqués pour leur prétendue indifférence donner une vraie leçon de solidarité à ceux qui se proclamaient défenseurs des grandes valeurs.
Et pendant ce temps, les dirigeants européens restaient là, embarrassés, en train de compter les discours au lieu de compter les actes. Voilà la réalité, mes amis : parfois, l’histoire aime renverser les rôles, et la honte finit par s’abattre là où on s’y attend le moins.
Il y a peine 78 ans, un peuple errant, rejeté, brisé. Chassés de leurs terres (Europe de l'est), refusés aux ports, ignorés par les nations, ils voguaient de rivage en rivage, frappant aux portes... en vain.
Cuba leur dit non. L’Amérique leur ferma les bras. Le Canada détourna le regard. D'autres pays, muets ou complices, les laissèrent dériver, sans abri, sans terre, sans espoir. Ils étaient les indésirables de la planète.
Et puis, ce peuple arriva sur une terre qu’il ne connaissait pas, qu’il n’avait jamais foulée, mais qu’on lui avait promise. Une terre déjà habitée. Déjà enracinée. Déjà vivante. Mais peu importe. On planta des drapeaux, on traça des frontières, on effaça des villages.
Et voilà que ceux qu’on appelait autrefois réfugiés devinrent les bourreaux. Les exclus d’hier, devenus puissants, dressèrent des murs, imposèrent des blocus, rasèrent les maisons des autres, comme si l’histoire ne leur avait rien appris.
On regarde cette histoire à l’envers, et on se dit, presque : Peut-être que ceux qui les avaient refusés avaient lu l’avenir…

"Mit Blick auf eine ausgehungerte, mehrfach zwangsvertriebene Bevölkerung in Gaza wird immer klarer: Wer sehen kann, aber nicht hinsieht – wer alles weiß, aber dennoch verharmlost oder schweigt –, ist nicht bloß Zuschauer. Sondern Teil der Geschichte."
Der Begriff Genozid bleibt in Deutschland hochumstritten, aus Gründen. Auch unser Autor hat einige Zeit mit sich gerungen, ob er von Völkermord sprechen soll – und wirft den deutschen Medien nun Versagen vor
"Zwar steht das Urteil des Internationalen Gerichtshofs (IGH) noch aus. Doch zahlreiche Menschenrechtsorganisationen haben längst klar Stellung bezogen: Israels Vorgehen erfüllt demnach die Kriterien der UN-Konvention – die Absicht, „eine nationale, ethnische, rassische oder religiöse Gruppe ganz oder teilweise zu vernichten“. Ranghohe israelische Militärs und Politiker wie Israels Finanzminister Bezalel Smotrich haben diese Absicht immer wieder offen formuliert."
Auch Zuschauer sind Teil der Geschichte. In diesem Fall die Weltöffentlichkeit und gestern Nacht Europa - mich hat das Publikumstelevoting des #esc schockiert, wenn ich an Gaza denke und den unerträglichen Horror, den Israels Machthaber dort umsetzen. Eine junge ESC Kandidatin geht in den künstlerischen Wettbewerb für Israel, die auf dem Musikfestival gewesen war und das Terrorattentat der Hamas überlebt hat. Um Kunst geht es dabei nicht, das ist politisch.
Of course a white dude who writes for The Washington Post and the New Yorker thinks racism was the SECONDARY reason for Trump’s second term.
This is an extremely offensive point of view to those being hurt by 47’s administration. The winner’s campaign slogan was “Mass Deportation” and his opponent (who had over 100 days to campaign because Biden DID step down) was a black woman.
60% of WHITE MEN voted for Trump, who made no bones about the fact that he was going to deport every person of color he could find.
95% of black women voted for Harris. In fact, the ONLY demographic that went majority Trump was WHITE people.
SOOOOOOO……. Quit falsely blaming Biden and start looking around at our fellow white guys. The next 10 you see? 6 of them are likely Nazis. @TonyStark
I want to begin this column by paying homage to the two most extraordinary passages in Donald Trump’s extraordinary speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last week.

Officials confirmed that Hamas and Israel are indirectly discussing a two-month cease-fire, followed by talks for a permanent truce. Both sides returned to the table as the IDF launched massive strikes in Gaza alongside an expanded ground offensive
The police has surrounded us and are announcing things in French, but as I do not understand French, their law does not apply to me (that's how it works, right?)
Some day there will be a documentary about Eurovision, showing how they heroically invented a technology that filters out booing during Israel's performance, banned pride flags from stage, beat up people shouting “free palestine”, and shut down all opposition to banning a genocidal state from participating, despite multiple nation's public broadcasters urging them to have at least a conversation about it.
I'd say this isn't like Eurovision, but sadly this is very much aligned with Europe's spirit.
In our world, violence can be so normalized, if necessary, that it's the bearer of the message that annoys us, for the insult of forcing us to have a glimpse down the ivory tower is so great, not even a human life could compare.
This is what RTVE, the Spanish public broadcasting service, and the Belgian public broadcast, due to pressure by unions, portrayed during the ESC finals:
Maybe going to the ESC and yelling isn't nice to the artist who isn't representing the state of Israel (necessarily) in any legal or ideological way.
However, every other option has been attempted. The public broadcasting services of multiple countries have attempted to start a conversation at the EBU about Israel's participation, which was always shut down the moment it started. Even the winner of last year's ESC, Nemo, said they don't see much of a reason as to why Israel is allowed to participate.
If Russia could still participate, you could bet your ass that thousands of people with Ukraine flags would protest this event and its superficially displayed peace to remind people of the reality of millions suffering from their war. Which would be the right thing, always.
To brush off these protestors as violent or annoying, when all non-disturbing ways have been tried, is unfair.
"I'd say this isn't like Eurovision, but sadly this is very much aligned with Europe's spirit."
I hope not. #Eurovision, like everything on TV, is there to make #profit for #billionaires. But I hope that #Europe itself is a little better than that... 🤔 🤞
The Genocidal State of Israel will be whitewashed in the Eurovision song contest in Switzerland. Multiple companies and states sponsor this event, where we will give voice to these shameless genocides, while letting them silence, destroy and kill everyone in one of the poorest areas of the world.
While Trump was wined and dined across the Middle East this week, from Saudi Arabia to Qatar to the UAE, he and the officials who embraced him looked the other way as Israel committed one horrific massacre after another in Gaza, leaving hundreds of P…

The U.S. Federal Reserve just pulled off something stealthy — over four days last week, without fanfare, the Fed vacuumed up $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s $8.8 billion in long-dated 30-year bonds on May 8 alone, plus another $34.8 billion earlier in the week. Not exactly small change.

Trump is Promoting Satanic Ideas to Displace Our People in Gaza… Our People Will Remain in Their Homeland and Will Not Leave: PFLP
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly condemns the racist and dangerous statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of Gaza’s residents to another Middle Eastern country, and proposed turning Gaza into a “free zone” managed according to his administration’s vision—devoid of any Palestinian national representation.
These statements, which align with reports from NBC News revealing that Trump’s administration has a plan to relocate nearly one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, reflect a sick colonial mentality. It evokes the memory of past displacement, Nakba, and uprooting projects that our people have suffered since 1948. It is the same mindset historically practiced by the United States through policies of extermination and expulsion targeting the Indigenous peoples of North America—within a settler-colonial project rooted in erasing native populations and seizing land by force.
We affirm to President Trump—and to all near and far—that our people have no homeland but Palestine, no future outside it, and Gaza will never be a station for exile or liquidation.
All displacement schemes are doomed to catastrophic failure. Our people—who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs and have demonstrated steadfastness against the most brutal colonial machinery—will go nowhere but to their occupied towns and villages in historic Palestine after liberation and the expulsion of the occupation.
The call to administer Gaza outside Palestinian sovereignty and governance is a desperate attempt to impose a liquidationist project aimed at separating the Strip from the rest of the homeland and dismantling the Palestinian cause entirely. We categorically reject this and will resist it with full force.
We call upon our people, our nation, and the free people of the world to confront these schemes by all possible means, and to reaffirm that Gaza is an inseparable part of Palestine—and no one has the right to decide its fate except its own people.
To Trump and those orbiting in his sphere, we say: The arrogant “cowboy” mindset that views nations as mere subjects to be relocated or have their fates dictated will never succeed in subjugating or uprooting our people. This supremacist, racist mentality that treats the struggles of nations like real estate deals or business ventures has failed throughout history—and it will fail again against the rock of Palestinian steadfastness. Our people have never bowed, and will never bow. They will remain steadfast, clinging to their right of return, liberation, and self-determination—despite Trump, the occupation, and their collaborators.
