Inside #Externsteine, #Germany

A politician in #Germany's #FarRight #AfD had been dismissed from a #church post. The deputy parliamentary group leader in the #Saarland parliament, #Schaufert, was sacked from the administration board of his local #Catholic church after the diocese of #Trier ruled that he could not serve in a church office. "As the face of a party that represents attitudes that contradict the #Christian view of humanity, he damages the credibility of the church"

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Germany's crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices continued with the conference stormed by police.

Germany’s Interior Ministry had also banned some conference speakers from entering the country.

"This is not about protecting Jews from antisemitism. It’s all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice,” said Varoufakis

It is high time to think out of the box and to adopt new practices to prevent forest fires.

Apart from exchanging existing #tree species with more heat and #drought resistent types, as some countries like #Germany are doing, active forest management with preventive #fires to destroy the accumulated undergrowth that tends to become a tinder box is of the essence. Many countries could learn a lot from indigenous...

So it turns out Yanis isn’t banned from Germany and it was just a lie told by the German police to stop him from speaking at the event?

German police have announced they are shutting down the Palestine Congress and demanded delegates leave immediately. They have threatened to use force and already arrested one of the organizers, Jewish activist Udi Raz. He is the third person to be arrested today, two of them Jewish.

Germany detained a British-Palestinian surgeon today to silence what he saw in Gaza and arrested Jewish activists protesting genocide.

Germany says it has a strict framework for deciding on when and whether to ship weapons. It distinguishes export of:

  • war weapons: ammunition, aircraft, etc.
  • other military equipment: anything else that helps a military wage war

Says that Germany "carefully assesses: all export licences and there's lots of scrutiny.

More "evidence" of Germany's commitment to the wellbeing of the people of Palestine: airdrop pics

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


The speaker for Germany first wants to make the case that Germany has lots of concern for the wellbeing of the people of Palestine.

Evidence offered:

  • that Germany appointed a special envoy for humanitarian assistance to Gaza
  • that Germany donated plenty millions in humanitarian assistance to occupied Palestine
  • says that Germany didn't withdraw support for UNRWA

"While the situation in Gaza is dramatic, there is no risk of irreparable prejudice concerning the rights that Nicaragua asserts vis-a-vis Germany", says Germany.

whoa, the brazenness

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Germany says that Nicaragua's case against Germany has no legal basis, because the case against Germany depends on an assessment of actions committed by 'israel' (i.e. that 'israel' is plausibly committing genocide), while 'israel' is not a party to the proceedings.

Says that the International Court of Justice has no jurisdiction in this case.

Germany points out that it's been offering humanitarian aid to Palestine, not only through UNRWA but also the World Food Programme and other organizations.

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Germany keeps going on about 'israel's' (supposed) "right to exist", which supposedly is "internationally recognised".

Except that there's reasonable countries all over the world that don't recognise the occupation as legitimate.

Recall the Khartoum Resolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum_Resolution

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Germany rejects Nicaragua's accusations.

"Germany has learnt from its past".

Yeah right.

Says that because it's committed genocide in the past, supporting the existence and persistence of 'israel' is now Germany's duty.

Guess what? Germany has questions to answer for complicity in genocide … AGAIN.

Today is the second day of Nicaragua’s case against Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, for Germany’s financial, military and political support for the zionist genocide in Gaza.

This morning Germany will give oral arguments.

Germany admits that it's approved over 250 million euros worth of war weapons and military equipment to 'israel' since October 2023.

Nicaragua draw the court's attention to the fact that not only is the situation in Gaza most dire --- also in other areas of occupied Palestine violence, racism and apartheid are increasing

And Germany is offering support for all of that

"Nicaragua is hopeful that states, particularly with a history such as Germany's, would heed the decisions of this court [= International Court of Justice]", says Nicaragua.

Another speaker on behalf of Nicaragua takes the floor:

"The nightmare [in Gaza] is increasing, every single day."

"Nothing justified the collective punishment of the Palestinian people".

The world can't turn away, says Nicaragua

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Germany seems to ignore that Palestinian people have the right to self-determination, including the right to take up arms against an occupation, according to the UN charter, says Nicaragua.
