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.

this is how he asserts dominance. Come into my big, beautiful house and allow me to make you feel small, even for a moment, on public television. Now, what do you want to sell me?
Trump is just amazed because he had to not only learn English, but also hide his Russian accent and he's wrongly assuming all the world leaders are the same. Maybe not the same country, but secretly from somewhere else just pretending to speak GOOD.
I feel like the first paragraph of the briefing any sane world leader would get before meeting another world leader would probably say something like, “George speaks English natively as well as three other languages.”
"When you skipped history class and the briefing"... and you're patronising... (that is, Thump doesn't know history, skipped the briefing his staff surely prepared for him, and exhibited patronising behaviour towards the Liberian delegation) 😐
Edited to improve the sense of & explain my comment.
Trump doesn't *work*. He doesn't read. He doesn't take briefings. He never remembers what he's told. He just blunders about, contradicting everyone. If someone disagrees, he'll shout more.
Think about it. Trump is so lazy, he can't be bothered remembering what he said himself. His own words! Imagine that level of sloth.
Trump thinks being rich makes every job a zero-effort scam. If people actually work at their jobs, that only proves they're suckers and losers.
You remember the disdain that other nations had for U.S. tourists back in the 60s and 70s? At least they respected our politicians and military. Perhaps they still respect our military. Not making bets though.

⟦ Se #MordechaiAnielewicz fosse vivo oggi, sarebbe morto. Il leader dell'Organizzazione Ebraica di Combattimento durante l'Insurrezione del Ghetto di Varsavia sarebbe morto di vergogna e disonore nel sentire i piani del ministro della Difesa - con il pieno appoggio del primo ministro - di erigere una “città umanitaria” nel sud della Striscia di Gaza.
Anielewicz non avrebbe mai immaginato che qualcuno potesse osare concepire un piano così mostruoso 80 anni dopo l'Olocausto.
Non appena avesse avuto notizia che questo piano era stato concepito dal governo dello Stato ebraico, fondato sui sacrifici del suo ghetto, sarebbe rimasto sconvolto. ⬇️2
Dopo aver saputo che #IsraelKatz, l'uomo che ha proposto questa idea, era il figlio di Meir Katz, sopravvissuto all'Olocausto, e di Malcha (Nira), nata Deutsch, della regione rumena di Maramures, che avevano perso la maggior parte della loro famiglia nei campi di sterminio, non ci avrebbe mai creduto. Cosa avrebbero detto al figlio?
Al momento che Anielewicz si fosse reso conto dell'apatia e dell'inazione che il piano provocava in #Israele e in parte nel mondo, anche in #Europa, persino in #Germania, sarebbe morto una seconda volta, questa volta di crepacuore. ⬇️3
Lo Stato ebraico sta costruendo un ghetto. Che frase orribile.
È già abbastanza grave che il piano sia stato presentato come se potesse essere in qualche modo legittimo - chi è a favore di un campo di concentramento e chi è contrario? - ma da lì il percorso potrebbe essere abbreviato verso un'idea ancora più orribile: qualcuno potrebbe suggerire un campo di sterminio per coloro che non superano il processo di selezione all'ingresso del ghetto.
Israele sta comunque uccidendo in massa i residenti di Gaza, quindi perché non snellire il processo e risparmiare le vite dei nostri preziosi soldati?
Qualcuno potrebbe anche suggerire un forno crematorio compatto sulle rovine di Khan Yunis, il cui ingresso, come nel vicino ghetto di #Rafah, sarà puramente volontario. ⬇️4
Certo, volontario, come nella “città umanitaria”. Solo l'uscita dai due campi non sarà più volontaria. Questa è la proposta del ministro.
La natura dei genocidi è che non nascono da un giorno all'altro. Non ci si sveglia una mattina e si passa dalla democrazia ad #Auschwitz, dall'amministrazione civile alla Gestapo. Il processo è graduale.
Dopo la fase di disumanizzazione - che gli ebrei tedeschi e i palestinesi di Gaza e Cisgiordania hanno subito ciascuno a suo tempo - si passa alla demonizzazione, come hanno sperimentato entrambe le nazioni.
Poi arriva la fase della paura: non ci sono innocenti nella Striscia di Gaza, il 7 ottobre è una minaccia esistenziale per Israele che potrebbe ripetersi in qualsiasi momento.
Poi arrivano gli appelli ad evacuare la popolazione prima che qualcuno sollevi l'idea dello sterminio.⬇️5
Siamo ora in quest'ultima fase, l'ultima prima del #genocidio. La Germania trasferì i suoi ebrei a est; anche il genocidio armeno iniziò con la deportazione, che allora si chiamava “evacuazione”. Oggi stiamo parlando di un'evacuazione a sud di #Gaza.
Per anni ho evitato di fare paragoni con l'Olocausto. Ogni paragone rischiava di non cogliere la verità e di danneggiare la causa della giustizia. Israele non è mai stato uno Stato nazista e, avendo stabilito questo fatto, ne consegue che se non è uno Stato nazista, deve essere uno Stato morale.
Non c'è bisogno dell'Olocausto per essere scioccati. Ci si può scandalizzare per molto meno, ad esempio per il comportamento di Israele nella Striscia di Gaza.
Ma nulla ci ha preparato all'idea della “città umanitaria”. ⬇️6
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
E, se non sta pensando di farlo in questo momento, sta correndo il serio rischio di scivolare rapidamente e inconsapevolmente verso la commissione di uno o dell'altro crimine. Chiedete ad Anielewicz.⟧🔚8

@fringemagnet hah. Looks like it paid off. Where are you now in the saga? Should I rewatch episodes 1-3? I only watched them once in the theater when they first came out. So disappointed back then.
Funny enough the prequels are next on my list, I caught up with a couple of the animated shows that I had never watched, and The Phantom Menace is next. I plan to go in with a much more forgiving mindset, I will let you know if the plan works. XD
That's the combo! Though I was pretty young and very impressionable when Episode I was released back in 1999, so it may all backfire and just end up disappointing me more as an adult. 😁
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.

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.
Aber klar, ich wäre als Kind auch enttäuscht, wenn ich miterlebe, daß es nicht um meine Bildung geht, sondern ich nur irgendwo abgestellt werden muss, während meine Eltern arbeiten.
Politiker*innen im Landtag bekommen Luftfilter...aber die Kids müssen, zum großen Teil ungeschützt, in die Schule.
»Ebenso sollte klar sein, dass der Blick nicht nur auf die gerichtet werden darf, die besonders gefährdet sind. Von Beginn an müssen auch Kollateralschäden im Blick behalten werden. Welchen Preis sind wir bereit zu zahlen, um Menschenleben zu schützen?« 🤡
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. 1/2
