Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.
The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.

Qué mal lo de eliminar el arbolado en las ciudades. No hay que tener muchas luces para saber que es el mejor mecanismo para reducir las temperaturas. Solo hay que darse cuenta del frescor que se nota cuando vas caminando por una zona de asfalto y hormigón y de repente te metes una zona con vegetación y árboles.
Pero esta gente que legisla desde sus despachos climatizados y vuelve a su chalet en coche oficial, no experimenta esto, ni intención que tiene.
Sufrir las altas temperaturas en las ciudades también es de currantes y pobres. Los mismos que les votamos.
Yo escucho el programa "El Bosque habitado" de Radio3 y un día explicaban que la excusa para arrancar árboles en Madrid (mencionaban esta ciudad) era que así "como no hay agua, no hay que regarlos" por supuesto explicaron el porque no es así. 🤷♀️

Simple. Labour has moved to the right not left, ditched its promised policies, and alienated its core support. Starmer, McSweeney and his coterie need to go as soon as possible, or Labour is finished
A year after Britain's Labour Party won a landslide election victory, it's fortunes have fallen fast. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's popularity is at an hist...
I hope so because it is not redeemable. Once you have people like Starmer at the helm and Akehurst as an MP, there is no recovery. It cannot be turned back. It has become a desert. Many of us will never be able to vote4 Labour again.
If a party moves its position, alienating its former voter base, then its entirely legitimate to argue it has simply moved to becoming the party it was formerly set up to oppose. Today's Labour establishment is made of Tories. Pro-war, pro-capitalism, pro-authoritarian, anti-ecological.
He who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it is made by one man upon another man, after the manner of the ordinary criminal, or by one man upon all other men, after the manner of an absolute monarch, or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy. -- Benjamin Tucker

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – More than 300 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the last 48 hours, according to the Gaza Government Media Office, which said Israel has “committed 26 bloody massacres” in that period.

These killings weren’t accidents. They weren’t provoked. They didn’t come about as an attempt to quell riots. The people killed were not collateral damage in attempts to kill Hamas fighters.
Si, es la forma mas barata que se me ha ocurrido de "agilizar" el pc. He comprado varios modulos de RAM DDR3 en Ali, estan muy baratos. Este es el segundo pc que consigo de la empresa donde curro y que los esta sustituyendo al no ser compatibles con W11. Si consigo mas pcs les pondré un modulo de 8 GB y se quedarían con 16GB en total, que para mover Linux es mas que suficiente. En principio se los voy a donar a gente del pueblo de mis padres que no tienen ordenador y enseñarles lo basico para moverse en Linux y navegar por internet. A este le he puesto 32GB pq me lo voy a quedar yo y queria empezar a usar maquinas virtuales. La configuracion base de estos pcs de la empresa es 8GB de RAM+disco mecanico 1TB+ disco ssd de 120 GB
Vaya proyecto más guapo. Donde yo trabajo cuando me dejan un ordenador pregunto si lo puedo reutilizar y si no hay problema también los "reutilizo" con discos duros reutilizados, ram recuperada y ya solo instalo Linux. Después los regalo a quien los necesite. El ciclo completo. 😊

Report: Gazan civilians can be "sitting there, doing nothing, waiting for the [GHF] site to open, & then they get shot in the head. I’ve seen that numerous times".
They get "brought into these very compressed spaces & then fired on... someone pulls a trigger on a machine gun. They have artillery fire on them. It is deliberate. There is no doubt."
Report: US contractors fired live bullets & stun grenades at Palestinians queuing for food at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites
The contractors are heard on video cheering as they shoot.
"One contractor said he saw other contractors shooting at Palestinians from a tower above the site as they were leaving the area, having collected food parcels."
"He said it was unclear why they were shooting at people departing the site."
A new Associated Press (AP) report detailing how American contractors guarding aid distribution sites used live ammunition, stun grenades and pepper spray against starving Palestinians seeking food has sparked fierce criticism online.

Since we all know the Jewish groups on Campus (with Administration & Political help) that did all the "antisemitism" racket since the genocide started & we know everything else they are doing now.
What if I told you Jewish groups (primarily ones that support Jewish Nazism—open & closeted) in West have been doing the same shit since atleast 1960s?
Here is the article titled that talks about it from 1985
Tactics: Have Jews/those willing to do their bidding, surveil soft power centers (ones that arent completely under the thumb of Jewish Nazis & one's that show any sympathy for Palestinians) who can influence public opinion
> monitor Christian publications, speakers, programs, etc., that take place in church meetings,
> United Nations and its agencies, on college campuses, in American churches, and among the country’s political leadership.
Ofcourse, same old tired "antisemitism" racket has been primarily designed to use both offensively & defensively, to neutralize anyone who opposes Jewish Nazism, Jewish Supremacy & Jewish Hegemony—use offensively,if one can get away with it, else, defensively, if it becomes difficult
Same exact techniques we saw from Jews in the 20 months are the same tactics deployed before too, against every group, using same exact "antisemitism" weapon.

Anfang Juli wurden bei Luftangriffen der israelischen Armee zwei Zelthallen der palästinensischen Organisation Mayasem Association in Al-Qarara im südlichen Gazastreifen zerstört. 1/10
In den Zelthallen waren eine Suppenküche und eine Schule untergebracht. Die Hilfsprojekte der medico-Partnerorganisation, die mit Spendengeldern aus Deutschland finanziert wurden, hatten hunderte Familien unterstützt. 2/10
Solche Vorschläge beruhen auf einer rassistischen Vorstellung und verstärken sie (sehr wahrscheinlich bewusst). Hier werden Menschen mit am wenigsten Macht als Probleme definiert, um Schuldige zu erzeugen, statt tatsächliche Probleme zu lösen. Das ist billig und so auf so vielen Ebenen beschämend.
Da ja Schulpflicht herrscht, lässt sich das mathematisch nur erreichen, indem die “migrantischen Kinder" gleichmäßiger auf die Schulen verteilt werden. Also wenn das umgesetzt wird, indem deren Familien geförderten Wohnraum in den bisher weißesten Schulbezirken bekommen… Ach Frau Prien, SO haben Sie das nicht gemeint?

Der wohl hervorstechendste und auch erschreckendste Aspekt der deutschen Realitätsflucht liegt in der Haltung, mit Tatsachen so umzugehen, als handele es sich um bloße Meinungen. (Quelle: Hannah Ahrend | Nach Auschwitz. Essays & Kommentare 1; 1965)

I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.
The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.
What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.
Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.
The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.

![An early warning by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), later echoed by most major Jewish organizations, spoke of a massive Arab effort to change United States foreign policy in the Middle East.
