The underlying conflict between Israel and the Palestians is quite obvious. The Oslo Peace agreement is dead and both sides are preparing for a showdown for the aftermath. While the PLO sticked to the conditions of the Oslo agreement, acknowleged Israel´s right to exist, abolished its former terrorism and called for a two state solution, Hamas and the Netanjahu government rejected the idea of a two state solution and did everything to undermine it.Israel used the Oslo Peace agreement to…

 There is a lot to read about possible government coalitions – from black-green, to the traffic light coalition to R2G. The latter variant is less likely, even if it is painted on the wall by Germany’s right-wing parties as a specter for the purpose of the election campaign. While SPIEGEL, Stern, SZ, FR and other media are very Baerbock-friendly, Springer’s BILD and Welt, Burdas Focus in combination with Jan Fleischhauer and Sahra Wagenknecht; Yippens Merkur now fire at the Greens…

Viel ist zu lesen über mögliche Regierungskoalitionen- von schwarz-grün, zum Ampelkoalition zu R2G.wobei letztere Varante ja weniger wahrscheinlich ist, auch wenn sie von Deutschlands rechten Parteien als Schreckgespenst zwecks Wahkkampf an die Wand gemalt wird. Während SPIEGEL, Stern, SZ, FR und andere Medien sehr Baerbockfreundlich sind, haben Springers BILD und Welt, Burdas Focus in Kombination mit Jan Fleischhauer und Sahra Wagenknecht und Yippens Münchner Merkur sich nun auf die Grünen und Baerbock eingeschossen, wobei die Konservativen und die AfD die…

At the moment there are next to no reports in the media about the Balkan. As the Jugoslavia war is over, peace seems to have replaced the ethnic cleansings and open conflicts. However ethnic tensions are increasing in the Balkan. Russia, China, Turkey and some Eastern European countries try to get spheres of influence in the Balkan and the Western military is still deployed in the Kosovo to prevent bloodshed between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians while Putin´s FSB tried to…

As the discussion about a boycott of the Olympics in Beijing 2022 started and in Western countries the formation of supporters, so called “anti-China forces” and pro-Uygur forces accelerates, the Global Times tries to make counterpropaganda. The Global Times now published an infographic about the official CCP arguments against the allegations of pro-Uygur supporters, especially against Adrian Zenz who spoke of genocide, ethnocide, mass deportation of 1 million Uygurs, forced sterilization and abortion and forced labour which we want to…

I think the problem is more complex than Black Live matters describes the racial problem. Of course, structural racism due to history that blacks in the era of colonialism were forcibly sold and brought to the USA as slaves and not as free willing migrants, the predominantly WASP society , social equality, the lack of a welfare state and poverty,  imperfect education systems  are factors which support racial discrimination and related social inequality. But in the case of police brutality…

Their last battle will serve to defend “Western civilization” in France. Twenty retired generals have made a high-profile appeal that denounced the “laxity” of those in charge of politics in the face of the threat posed by Islamism and, literally, “the hordes in the banlieue”. “France is in danger. We remain soldiers and cannot ignore what is happening to our beautiful country, ”they write. The appeal was signed by more than 100 officers and 1,000 other military personnel. He belatedly…

In the Global Review/ Club of Rome paper ” EU-Russian ecological cooperation needed despite and because of the Covid crisis”we described the Russian state of mind in ecological affairs as follows: “Russian strategists including Putin have a very ambivalent relation to climate crisis. On the one side Putin signed the Paris Climate Accord—different to Trump and Bolsonaro -, thinks about the consequences of the frost melt of the Russian East and the airing of methane, on the other side Putin…

While the situation in Burma/Myanmar is escalating, the Karen Union attacking Burmese military troops to protect protesters and some parts of the opposition call for international interference under the Right To Protect (R2P), China tries to fend off any Western or foreign support for the opposition before the meeting of the Myanmar coup leader Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing with the ASEAN as this would escalate and destabilize the situation. However, calls by the opposition for an invitation to the ASEAN…

Global Review asked Annalena Baerbrock and Katrin Göring-Eckhardt how they think about an EU-Russia climate protection cooperation. Unfortunately, we only received very general, rather negative answers, which, moreover, cannot imagine any cooperation with Putin and the Russian government, but primarily only through NGOs. Dear Mrs. Baerbrock, How do you think about an EU-Russia climate protection cooperation, the reforestation of the green lungs of Eurasia, the Siberian forests, the promotion of blue and turquese hydrogen technology with gas, the cooperation in…

After the Lybian war parties under the mediation from Russia and Turkey signed a peace treaty, build a transistion government and want to hold elections this year, the war zone and its regional players seem to move to the next front: Chad and the Sahel zone. In Chad, the polling stations had just closed on April 11th. The residents of the oasis town of Wour in the far north flocked to the markets to stock up on food for Ramadan,…

Israel´s government is trying to influence the Biden administration which pushes for a new Iran deal. Netanjahu still reserves the right to act on its own as a sovereign nation and is concerned that Biden won´t listen to Israel´s interests. However, a former IDF intelligence chief thinks that a new Iran deal could be a solution which buys Israel time and would be in its own interest. “Israeli cabinet ‘concerned the US wants an Iran deal at all costs’ The…

Eines der besten Beispiele für den deutschen postheroischen und radikalpazifistischen Liedersingsang ist Reinhard May und Freunde „Meine Söhne gebe ich nicht“, da er die Philiosophie des deutschen radikalen Nachkriegspazifismus und seiner Beschränkungen klar macht Hier werden matriachalische Leitbilder besungen von Müttern, die unter Geburtsschmerz eine enge Beziehung zu ihren Söhnen haben und sie sie deswegen nicht als Kanonenfutter weggeben wollen. Von Töchtern und Transgendern ist da ganz klassisch noch nicht die Rede. Aber lassen wir es einmal so stehen, die…

Anders als in den USA, wo das Waffentragen ein verbürgtes Grundrecht ist und im Sinne eines unveräusserlichen Menschenrechts verstanden wird und das Gewaltmonopol nicht nur bei staatlichen Institutionen liegt,Trumpisten, Neonazis, Tea Partyleute und Milizen bewaffnet herumlaufen, haben deutsche Faschisten, wenn sie bewaffnete Organisationen gründen wollen, nur den Weg über die Infiltration des staatlichen Gewaltmonopols , Schützenvereinen und der illegalen Beschaffung von Waffen.

  The Unlikelihood of a War With China and Russia By: George Friedman Much has been made of China’s seemingly unending potential to invade Taiwan – nearly as much as Russia’s buildup near Ukraine, which many believe is little more than a pretext for a future war. Lurking behind this is the age-old fear that Russia and China will team up to undermine the United States, say, by launching simultaneous attacks. This isn’t inconceivable, but neither is it likely. Let’s…
