Terrorism in a suit and tie: Grotesque rehabilitation of Al-Golani by the West
International politics has ceased to be a theater and has become a circus without a big top and without shame.
By Alberto García Watson
What used to be disguised as strategic diplomacy is now openly exhibited as geopolitical pantomime without shame or principle. Donald Trump's recent decision, with the enthusiastic blessing of diplomats from the United Kingdom and Spain, to remove Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the list of terrorist organizations is not only an affront to memory: it is an official consecration of hypocrisy as a diplomatic doctrine.
HTS, the marketing version of Al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, has a Nuremberg-worthy record: a decade of beheadings, suicide bombings, slavery, sectarian repression, ethnic cleansing and social destruction under the leadership of its charismatic executioner, Abu Mohammad al-Golani. But, of course, it was enough for him to put on an Armani suit and take a couple of photos with his beard trimmed and combed for Syria's number one terrorist to suddenly become a “regional stability actor”. Hollywood should be taking note.
The marketing of terrorism: from jihad to “multilateralism”
The most insulting thing is not only its media whitewashing, but the real motive that has made it “digestible” for the West: al-Golani is now the guarantor of a future Syria that, surprise, would gladly adhere to the Abraham Accords. Yes, the same agreements that normalize relations with Tel Aviv, while bombs continue to fall on Gaza and illegal settlements devour Palestine. So he is not only forgiven for the past: he is rewarded for betraying what was once the most sacred pan-Arab cause.
This turn is not pragmatism: it is geopolitical prostitution. Golani has not changed his principles; he has simply learned to put them up for rent. And nothing rents more today than to offer a fragmented but obedient Syria, submissive to Israel's interests and aligned with Washington's whims. The noble Palestinian cause, which for decades was the banner of resistance in the Arab world, is today conveniently pushed under the bus by the same man who preached its defense with blood and fire.
The West: selective memory and moral balance
Meanwhile, European capitals are juggling to justify this diplomatic resurrection. The British minister speaks of “pragmatism”. The Spanish Chancellor calls for “reviewing certain designations”. That is to say: if a terrorist is useful, he is called a partner. If he serves the narrative, he is called reformed. And if he kisses the ring of power, he is offered immunity with canapé and glass in hand.
The victims, thousands of Syrians, beheaded journalists, massacred civilians have been filed away as footnotes in the great novel of realpolitik. Not a mention. Not an apology. Not a hint of memory. The West, which once painted its face with the war against terrorism, today paints its face with indifference.
What's next? Golani at the UN talking about Human Rights?
It would not be unusual to see him next as a panelist at a forum on “peaceful transitions” or “security in the Middle East”. Perhaps he will be invited to Davos, or even Jerusalem, to talk about how “regional cooperation is the way to the future.” The same man who murdered in the name of extremism will now lecture on interfaith coexistence. This is not satire. It is foreign policy.
Conclusion: Treason as diplomatic currency
Al-Golani's whitewashing is not a mistake, it is a clear message: terrorism is forgiven, recycled and rewarded, as long as the traitor on duty signs where he is told to. It doesn't matter if he stabs his own people, if he betrays the Palestinian cause or if his record is worthy of the Hague Tribunal: if he surrenders to the new order, he becomes a preferred partner.
And so, terrorism is institutionalized, betrayal is celebrated and dignity is exported at a bargain price. The fight against extremism is no longer a cause: it is a slogan. And forgiveness, like sovereignty, is bought in cash or oil.

Israele non ha più alcun diritto morale di usare la parola “umanitario”.
Chiunque abbia trasformato la Striscia di Gaza in quello che è - un cimitero di massa e una landa desolata di rovine - e ne parli con indifferenza ha perso ogni legame con l'umanità.
Chi vede solo la sofferenza degli ostaggi israeliani nella Striscia di Gaza e non vede che ogni 6 ore le Forze di Difesa Israeliane uccidono tanti palestinesi quanti sono gli ostaggi vivi, ha perso tutta la sua umanità.
Se 21 mesi di morte di neonati, donne, bambini, giornalisti, medici e altri innocenti non sono stati sufficienti, il piano del ghetto dovrebbe accendere tutte le luci di allarme.
Israele si sta comportando come se stesse pianificando un genocidio e una deportazione. ⬇️7

Long Live RSS!
While we know that many of you are reading Hackaday via our Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed, we suspect that most people on the street wouldn’t know that it underlies a lot of the modern internet. [A. McNamee] and [A. Service] have created an illustrated history of RSS that proudly proclaims RSS is (not) dead (yet)!
While tens of millions of users used Google Reader before it was shut down, social media and search companies have tried to squeeze independent blogs and websites for an increasingly large part of their revenue, making it more and more difficult to exist outside the walled gardens of Facebook, Apple, Google, etc. Despite those of you that remember, RSS has been mostly forgotten.
RSS has been the backbone of the podcast industry, however, quietly serving feeds to millions of users everywhere with few of them aware that an open protocol from the 90s was serving up their content. As with every other corner of the internet where money could be made, corporate raiders have come to scoop up creators and skim the profits for themselves. Spotify has been the most egregious actor here, but the usual suspects of Apple, Google, and Amazon are also making plays to enclose the podcast commons.
If you’d like to learn more about how big tech is sucking the life out of the internet (and possibly how to reverse the enshittification) check out Cory Doctorow’s keynote from our very own Supercon.

Kommentar zur Enquete-Kommission: Wenn aufklären, dann richtig
Die Aufarbeitung der Corona-Pandemie ist aus Sicht von Birthe Sönnichsen überfällig. Doch es müsse um mehr gehen, als bekannte Probleme neu zu benennen. Und benötigte Hilfe dürfe durch die Aufarbeitung nicht aufgeschoben werden.
Was isn das für ein Querspinner-Kommentar?
Ganz bestimmt muss NICHT aufgearbeitet werden, wie ohne Präzedenzfall versucht wurde eine Pandemie einzudämmen.
Was endlich aufgearbeitet gehört: Wie "Impfgegner" uns allen auf der Nase herumtanzen durften. Wie das die Rechten gestärkt hat. Wer die Notlage skrupellos und korrupt ausgenutzt hat, um sich auf unser aller Kosten zu bereichern. Warum Kinder nicht geschützt wurden. Wie mit vulnerablen Personengruppen umgegangen wurde.

"As AI-generated content becomes more common online, concerns about its impact are growing. Some users worry about the spread of misinformation, especially as it becomes easier to generate convincing but entirely AI-fabricated videos.
“Even if the content is informative and someone might find it entertaining or useful, I feel we are moving into a time where ... you do not have a way to understand what is human-made and what is not,” said Henry Ajder, founder of Latent Space Advisory, which helps businesses navigate the AI landscape.
Others are frustrated by the sheer volume of low-effort AI content flooding their feeds. This kind of material is often referred to as “AI slop” — low-quality, randomly generated content made using artificial intelligence.
“The age of slop is inevitable,” said Ajder, who is also an AI policy advisor at Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram. “I’m not sure what we do about it.”
While it’s not new, the surge in this type of content has led to growing criticism from users who say it’s harder to find meaningful or original material, particularly on apps such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram."
