EU's High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, Monday:

"In Gaza we are no longer on the brink of famine. We are in a state of famine. It is not a flood. It is not an earthquake. It is entirely man made. By whom? [...] Israel is provoking famine! [...]"

[T]he West's political "elites" condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah's leadership.

There was no mention of international law for Hezbollah's unprovoked, year-long attacks: bombardments of missiles and attack drones every day at a country smaller than New Jersey.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell lamented Israel's continued successful attempts at destroying one of Iran's proxy armies.

When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, one of the world's most dangerous arch-terrorists, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres could barely hold back his disappointment, counterfactually calling Hezbollah's unprovoked war against Israel and the IDF's response a "cycle of violence."

Only Argentina's President Javier Milei displayed a reaction fitting the removal of a terrorist mass murderer...

Israel, as has been noted, is doing the entire world an enormous service by taking out Hezbollah.

Iran, just since October 2023, through its militias in Syria and Iraq, has launched more than 160 attacks on the US forces in the Middle East.

[W]hen Israel killed Ibrahim Aqil, the mastermind of the 1983 attacks and a member of Hezbollah's Jihad Council, its highest military body, the US could not even bring itself to thank its ally.

The world's political elites apparently cannot forgive Israel for seeking to defend itself, and rid the world of terrorists working to destroy both America and Western civilization. Could these elites, wittingly or not, be working towards the same result?

Bad News of the Week

Since the end of the coronavirus pandemic - although there hasn't actually been one - I've been waiting for its successor in a slightly anxious mood. Another rapidly infecting virus that spreads worldwide, is potentially deadly and, above all, restricts all our lives again. Now it's here: Mpox. For the first time since Corona, the WHO (World Health Organization of the United Nations) has declared the highest alert level, a “public health emergency of international concern”. Because of the virus that was previously called “Monkey Pox”. Discovered in Congo at the end of 2023, it has now also broken out in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya.

The initial figures spoke of 14,000 suspected cases. Based on the usual 50% rate and the reported 500 deaths, this means that one in twelve people who become infected will die. That's a lot. So it's certainly a virus that should be taken seriously. One day later, it was reported that the first case in Europe had emerged in Sweden. Then the first three in Asia in Pakistan. It's the usual pattern: on the one hand, every infectious disease spreads faster and more uncontrollably in times of international travel. On the other hand, specific cases are only discovered when they are specifically sought or tested for. So the numbers will now quickly go through the roof. Because the spread is already more advanced than we know.

What will happen now? What will the states do? How will society react this time? And above all: what have we learned? There is a lot of talk in Germany about the need to come to terms with everything that has happened around COVID. Also to learn from the mistakes. There is a lot of need for clarification - for example with regard to the procurement of masks, the closure of schools, compulsory vaccination, curfews and unequal treatment in the retail sector. And what has happened since (drum roll please!): Nothing. What applies to politics also applies in private life. Some friends turned out to be conspiracy theorists, others were law and order hardliners, most were simply irritated and unsettled. There were even rifts right through families. Rifts that still exist.

And now we could all be facing the same situation, just as ill-prepared. And if Mpox doesn't develop into a pandemic, perhaps swine fever will spread to humans. Or bird flu. Or something else entirely, be it from the South American jungle or from the secret laboratory of some deep state. Or a revenant from the past spreads again - cholera still exists after all and first cases of polio are reported from Gaza. No, I'm not panicking. But I do have one or two worries. After all, humanity has shown itself more than once to be incapable of learning from the past. I would love to be wrong about that.

Good News of the Week

Venezuela is not giving up. It is wonderful to see how the people are fighting for democracy, no longer wanting to put up with the corruption of their “elites” and finally wanting to have a perspective worth living in. Just under a month ago, elections were held in the Latin American country, which could actually live in prosperity and peace but is suffering from dramatic economic decline, inflation and poverty since years. Or as investigative journalist Sebastiana Barráez says in the news magazine Der Spiegel: “Maduro has couped!”

Initially, the state electoral authority declared President Nicolás Maduro Moro, who has been clinging to power since 2013, the winner without providing any evidence - as is actually required by the constitution. The opposition has now had access to more than 80 percent of the printed protocols of the individual polling stations and has made them public. According to these, their candidate Edmundo González won with around 67 percent of the vote - compared to 30 percent for the incumbent head of government. So did Maduro commit electoral fraud? It looks like it.

The United Nations and the Carter Center had sent election observers to Venezuela. They have now criticized the election authority's actions and declared that the official result was not achieved democratically. The panel of experts speaks of an “unprecedented process in recent electoral history”. No wonder that most Latin American countries as well as the USA and Europe did not recognize the “official result”. And Maduro? He doesn't give a damn. The despot has further intensified the repression against the population with the help of the military, the National Guard and other state organs loyal to him. According to the independent rights organization Foro Penal, over 2,000 people have been arrested since the election. These include opposition politicians. And journalists. That speaks a clear language.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the US government has now offered Maduro and close associates of the regime an amnesty if they relinquish power. I wish the Venezuelans would keep up the pressure. And the international stage too. Until Madura and his clan really abdicate. Because then the country, which has already been abandoned by 20% of its population in recent years, could return to better times. In a survey conducted by the Gallup polling institute in December 2012, the country's inhabitants were among the happiest people on earth. It would be nice if this vague memory could become reality again.

Personal happy moment of the week

“Your application for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) has been approved. You are now authorized to travel to Canada by air.” Nothing more to add here. Taking off this sunday. Boy am I excited...

I couldn't care less...

...about the discussion that Germany “only” came 10th in the medal table at the Summer Olympics in Paris - behind hosts France and Great Britain, even though their populations are smaller. “What does it take for more medals?” asks the Tagesschau news channel. That is of little interest to me. Much more important is the charisma of athletes as figures of identification for a nation, the role model function for children, the motivation to surpass oneself. After all, it's not for nothing that the Olympic motto is “Taking part is everything”. In that sense, Eddie the Eagle really did fly.

It's fine with me...

...that the Democrats' party conference is now turning into a coronation mass. Because the most important decisions have been made: Presidential candidate and his (better in this case “her”) running mate. Normally, I would now say that political program content should not be completely secondary. But I don't care about that at the moment. The main thing is momentum. The main thing is optimism. The main thing is not to go back. The main thing is that Donald Jessica Trump doesn't triumph in November. Harris Walz!

As I write this...

...we're trying to catch a mouse. Apparently it was raining too hard outside and it wanted to get out into the dry. Now she's hiding behind a bookshelf and is afraid of us - even though we want to rescue her and set her free. Update: we've got her and she's fine. Second update: there seems to be another one...

Post Scriptum

It's good when someone doesn't look away but points. Even if it's about Israel committing an injustice. After all, you are then almost reflexively vilified as an Anti-Semite. In this respect, I am pleased that the European Union is showing more and more backbone in this regard. In this case, I am not referring to the maltreated Gaza Strip, but to the West Bank, where the Palestinian population is suffering more and more from brutal attacks by militant Israeli settlers - who can be sure of the backing of Benjamin Netanyahu's increasingly right-wing extremist government.

Once again, there have been attacks by extremist Israeli settlers on the population of the West Bank. And now EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has had enough. He will “present a proposal for EU sanctions against the supporters of the violent settlers, including some members of the Israeli government”. Including the government! That's a bombshell. I very much hope that he finds the necessary support for this. Because this massive problem is currently all too easily overlooked in the great shadow of Gaza.

the girls are fighting!!! (Borrell v. von der Leyen)

[tomorrowusa]

The tankies, Trumpsters, neo-isolationists, and appeasers are all eager to kowtow to Putin – though they may have different reasons for wanting to do so. But it's in the interest of liberal democracy and peaceful international stability that we should continue to support Ukraine's struggle against neocolonial aggression.

Josep Borrell, vice president of the European Commission, and Dmytro Kuleba, foreign minister of Ukraine, co-wrote this piece for Project Syndicate.

What Russia is doing is a classic example of nineteenth-century-style imperial and colonial aggression. Ukraine is enduring what many other countries have cruelly suffered in the past. For Russia, this war has never been about Ukraine’s neutrality, NATO enlargement, protecting Russian-speakers, or any other fabricated pretexts. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine does not exist as a nation and that Ukrainian identity is artificial. The war is solely about annihilating an independent country, conquering land, and re-establishing dominance over a people that decided to be masters of their own destiny. Russia’s imperial ambition is doubtless familiar to many nations around the world that were previously subject to colonial rule and oppression. [ ... ] The war and its consequences thus concern every country. Should Russia prevail, it would send a very dangerous message that “might makes right.” Every aggressive power around the world would be tempted to follow in Russia’s footsteps. If aggression ultimately pays, why wouldn’t all those with territorial claims against their neighbors act on them? This is why it is in many Asian, African, and Latin American countries’ interest that Ukraine wins the war. Ultimately, this war is not about “the West against the rest.” Supporting Ukraine is not “pro-Western.” It is about rejecting war and terror. It is about standing for the principle of international relations based on mutual respect, and supporting Ukrainians’ right to security and liberty. Ukraine and the European Union share a view of international relations in the twenty-first century that is exactly opposed to that of Putin’s Russia. Our vision is based on international law, respect, and mutual benefit, instead of coercion, bribery, and fear. [ ... ] The only way to achieve a just peace is to double down on support for Ukraine. The EU has done exactly that in recent months, and it is set to increase assistance even further in 2024. Our common goal is to ensure that Ukraine can turn the tide of the war in its favor so that a just peace can be reached as soon as possible. The world’s support is crucial for achieving this result. It is in everyone’s interest that international law be upheld, and that cooperation is the highest priority. There must not be a return to the dark past of military aggression, imperialism, and colonialism – neither in Europe nor in any other region.

Many people mistakenly believe that Russia was never a colonial power because it didn't colonize overseas territories. But Russia did colonize vast parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Far East. Even now Russia uses a disproportionate number of racial minorities from its remaining colonized areas in Siberia to be used as cannon fodder in Ukraine.

Putin is trying to re-establish the tsarist/communist colonial empire that lasted from circa 1700 to 1990. That is what this war is about. Putin's geopolitical nostalgia for the USSR of his youth is the driving force behind the killing of tens of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of thousands of Russians.

Imagine if Britain, France, Spain, or Portugal decided to take back their old colonies despite treaties and international laws which recognize the independence of those territories. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is no different from such a scenario.

Ukraine stands for liberal democracy against a form of expansionist totalitarian fascism. And the aid the US has already given Ukraine has severely weakened our biggest military adversary at bargain basement costs.

A free and independent Ukraine, integrated into the European Union, would also serve as an economic powerhouse the way South Korea is in East Asia. Ukrainians have shown how resourceful and industrious they are in wartime; such talents will not disappear when the last invader is driven out.

Borrell calls on Georgia to scrap anti-LGBTQ bill

The European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell urged Georgian authorities on Wednesday to revoke a law concerning a ban on LGBT propaganda and gender reassignment, which he claimed further throws the country off the EU path, Euractiv reports.

“I call on Georgia to withdraw this legislation, further derailing the country from its EU path,” the European Union’s foreign policy chief posted on X, saying the bill adopted by Georgia’s parliament would “increase discrimination & stigmatisation.”

On Tuesday, Georgian lawmakers approved in the third and final reading a law on “family values and protection of minors” that will impose radical restrictions on LGBT rights.

The bill would give authorities a legal basis to ban Pride marches and public demonstrations of the LGBT rainbow flag, as well as impose censorship on films and books.

Leaders of the ruling Georgian Dream party say the bill is necessary to protect traditional moral norms in Georgia, where the deeply conservative Orthodox Church wields great influence.

Activists said the measure was aimed at boosting conservative support for the government ahead of parliamentary elections on October 26 in Georgia, a country that has ambitions to join the EU but Western governments fear it is now tilting back towards Russia.

Tamara Jakeli, director of campaign group Tbilisi Pride, said the bill, which also reaffirms the existing ban on same-sex marriage and bans sex change operations, was likely to force her organisation to close its doors. she also added:

“This law is the most terrible thing to happen to the LGBT community in Georgia. We will most likely have to shut down. There is no way for us to continue functioning.”

LGBT rights issue is a complicated topic in Georgia, where polls show widespread disapproval of same-sex relationships and the constitution bans same-sex marriage. In recent years, participants in Tbilisi’s annual pride marches have been physically attacked by anti-LGBT demonstrators.

Crude Comments From Europe’s Top Diplomat Point to Bigger Problems

Josep Borrell Fontelles said Europe was “a garden,” and the world “a jungle,” triggering charges of neocolonialism and racism just as the E.U. tries to drum up support in the developing world.

By Matina Stevis-Gridneff

Oct. 17, 2022

BRUSSELS — European efforts to rally global support for Ukraine are being met with resistance, in part because of the long shadow of colonialism and the impact it still has in large parts of Africa and Asia.

The top European Union diplomat calling the world “a jungle” and Europe “a garden” at risk of being overrun isn’t helping.

In a speech to aspiring diplomats on Thursday, Josep Borrell Fontelles, a septuagenarian Spanish Socialist who is the bloc’s most senior diplomat, used an extended metaphor premised on this very idea.

“Yes, Europe is a garden.” Mr. Borrell told aspiring European diplomats in the Belgian city of Bruges. “We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build — the three things together.”

“Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden,” he added, calling the young European diplomats “gardeners” who “have to go to the jungle. Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means.”

The comments were scripted, and it wasn’t the first time he made them. He had employed the jungle metaphor in more limited remarks in August.

On Monday Mr. Borrell stood by his comments, insisting that he had been misunderstood.

He said that Europe was a privileged place to live and that his message to the aspiring diplomats was to cultivate relationships outside it, because it cannot be “an island in the world away from what was going on elsewhere.”

“I do not understand the interpretation that has been given to what I said, I certainly do not share the allegation that it is somehow imperialist, white supremacist or a retrograde message,” Mr. Borrell told reporters in Luxembourg on Monday.

Thursday’s speech circulated broadly on social media, a gift to Europe’s detractors. Among the first to seize on it was the Kremlin’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova.

“To continue the analogy, the European gardener is in a vegetative state,” she quipped on Telegram. “And now seriously. The ‘garden’ was built by Europe due to the barbaric attitude to the plundering of the ‘jungle.’ Borrell could not say it better: the most prosperous system created in Europe was nourished by its roots from the colonies, which it ruthlessly oppressed,” she added.

In Africa and beyond, government officials and citizens vented on social media. In regions where the European Union is clashing with local governments, the comments were fodder for a broader repudiation of Western meddling.

Ethiopian and Eritrean officials, whose governments are allied in fighting a brutal war against an insurgency in the Tigray region, jumped on the comments.

“Is Africa still a jungle only meant to furnish someone else’s garden as it has painfully been?” quipped Redwan Hussein, a senior adviser to the Ethiopian prime minister, in a tweet.

But Mr. Borrell’s garden/jungle talk also shocked traditional European allies who quickly denounced it.

“What a terrible analogy Mr. Borrell has made,” said Bob Rae, Canada’s United Nations ambassador, in a tweet on Sunday. “Surely history and our own lived experience teaches us that no part of the world is free from violence,” he added.

A spokeswoman for Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, who is basically his boss, said that she retained confidence in him and did not offer any corrections to the garden metaphor.

Still, many politicians and experts within the bloc were outraged.

“This abhorrent, colonial language is unacceptable from any representative of our union, least of all our highest-ranking diplomat,” said Alice Bah Kuhnke, a prominent Swedish member of the European Parliament with the Green Party.

“It’s not the first time that Borrell’s behavior reflects poorly on the E.U.,” she added, referring to previous instances where Mr. Borrell’s comments drew ire for being clumsy, inflammatory or crude. “Once again, this raises questions about whether he is suitable to continue as high representative.”

Experts also said that alienating nations in the developing world could undermine the European Union’s efforts to bolster global partnerships in its search for its own independent place in the global power structure, as well as drum up support for Ukraine against Russia.

“This kind of comment puts a serious dent in the enterprise of European strategic autonomy,” said Mohammadbagher Forough, a research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies. “It upsets at the most profound level countries in the rest of the world, because of the history of colonialism.”

In United Nations General Assembly votes, a bellwether for how well Western allies are doing against Russia’s own diplomatic efforts, the European Union and the United States have struggled to rally support from African and Asian countries they would normally call allies. High-profile partners like South Africa and India have chosen to abstain on key votes, for example.

Seasoned E.U. observers point out that Mr. Borrell is not an outlier when it comes to the dominant thinking at the heart of the bloc’s policy machinery.

“My sense is that Borrell is not fundamentally different from what this commission thinks more broadly,” said Shahin Vallée, who heads the German Council on Foreign Relations’ Geo-Economics Program. “More broadly, I think Europe is at a point of trying to define its identity and its contours.”

“To me these comments echo two things: One is a civilizational turn and the resurgence of neoconservative sentiment,” he added, noting that the garden-jungle analogy used by Mr. Borrell was first employed by the prominent American neoconservative scholar Robert Kagan.

Mr. Borrell on Monday rejected the idea that his comments were indicative of a neoconservative stance.

“I have been disappointed by the interpretations that have been bandied around, I reject them totally,” he said. “I think everything I’ve done in my life completely goes against being called a neocon.”

A person could be excused for thinking that Borrell and Albanese live in an alternate reality; unfortunately, they do not. Sadly, these useful idiots who pretend to run serious and influential organizations are promoting a system of values that will consistently give terrorist organizations a victory, for at least as long as they are attacking Israel.

Borrell and Albanese pay lip service to the rescue of the hostages, but the truth is that they don’t want Israel to be rescuing anyone. They are promoting the reality that if Israel comes under fire while rescuing its people, it should not shoot back and instead let its soldiers die. What they want is for Israel’s hands to be tied so that they are unable to launch a rescue operation to begin with.

Sadly, when it comes to Israel, we already know that brains go out the window, replaced by moral insanity and hatred that prevent understanding why Israelis are fighting. This moral absurdity allows people to shed tears when Israelis are killed and subsequently declare that Israel has the right to defend itself, but then, when Israel does exactly that, these same people immediately condemn Israel and call for it to stop.

Instead of promoting false claims of a massacre, why do these people not ask why hostages were being held in apartment buildings in Gaza to begin with? If they care so much about ending the war, why do they not raise questions about Hamas’s war crimes and wonder why the hostages were being held in civilian areas in the first place? That, of course, they won’t do. Instead, they willfully fall into Hamas’s trap and blast false accusations against Israel, condemning it for doing what any country would do: rescue its people.

And while we never really needed the proof, what The Wall Street Journal revealed a few days ago underscores the point. According to the article, Gaza-based Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar wrote to his terrorist colleagues in Qatar that the deaths of Palestinian civilians were “necessary sacrifices.” Sinwar went on to compare it to the civilian losses in conflicts like that in Algeria, where hundreds of thousands of people died fighting for independence.

Anti-Israel activists prolong war

THIS HAS long been Hamas’s strategy: civilians are killed in Gaza, and the terrorist organization knows that no one is going to bother to ask why it embeds itself in civilian infrastructure, why it keeps hostages in apartments, or why it shoots rockets from children’s bedrooms. Instead, Sinwar knows that people will blame Israel and Israel alone.

The problem is that when Borrell and Albanese do this, they are emboldening Hamas, putting Israel – as Sinwar himself wrote, according to the WSJ report – “right where we want them” when it comes to the question of who is winning the war. When Sinwar sees that Israel rescues hostages and comes under fierce international criticism, does that make him feel motivated to release hostages in a deal or to hold on to them for longer? Why wouldn’t he feel emboldened when Israel is slammed every time it attacks Gaza?

The sad little figure known as Borrel should stay quiet in front of wang yi instead of going around throwing insults and menaces, especially when the entire European economy depends on China.

The post is machine translated

⚠️ WANG YI A BORRELL: "VOI POTETE FORNIRE ARMI ALL'UCRAINA, NOI NON POSSIAMO FORNIRLE ALLA RUSSIA?" ⚠️

🇨🇳 Wang Yi, Direttore dell'Ufficio Generale della Commissione Centrale per gli Affari Esteri del Partito Comunista Cinese, ha chiesto a Josep Borrell, nazista Alto Rappresentante dell'Unione per gli Affari Esteri e la Politica di Sicurezza, perché la Cina non dovrebbe fornire armi alla Russia se l'UE le fornisce continuamente all'altra parte: l'Ucraina 🤔

⭐️ La Cina, che sta preparando una Soluzione Politica per la Pace, non ha fornito armi alla Federazione Russa, concentrandosi principalmente sulle esportazioni di componentistica e tecnologie a duplice uso alla Russia, ed è del tutto legittima la domanda retorica che il Diplomatico Cinese ha posto al "Guardiano del Giardino dell'UE" ����

🤡 Il neo-colonialista "Diplomatico" dell'UE è anche arrivato, qualche giorno fa, a minacciare la Cina, affermando: "Se la Cina inizierà a fornire armi alla Russia, attraverserà la «linea rossa» nei rapporti con l'UE" 🤡

🔥 Punto n°1: Nessuno, nessuno, nessuno può permettersi di dare ordini alla Cina, di dire "non deve fare questo" o "non deve fare quest'altro", come ha fatto Antony Blinken, Segretario di Stato USA. Anche il neo-conquistador europeo anti-Cinese, anti-Russo e, in pratica, anti-qualsiasi popolo che non possa essere inscritto al suo caro "suprematismo bianco" dovrebbe comprenderlo 😡

🔥 Punto n°2: Se c'è un soggetto geopolitico che non è minimamente intimidante, è l'Unione Europea. Borrell dovrebbe tornare con i piedi per terra, e ricordarsi che senza la Cina, l'UE collasserebbe economicamente. Dovrebbe dare un'occhiata alle statistiche commerciali Cina - UE su import & export, prima di lasciarsi andare a dichiarazioni ridicole

⚠️ WANG YI TO BORRELL: "YOU CAN SUPPLY WEAPONS TO UKRAINE, WE CAN'T SUPPLY THEM TO RUSSIA?" ⚠️

🇨🇳 Wang Yi, Director of the General Office of the Central Commission on Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, asked Josep Borrell, Nazi High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, why China shouldn't provide weapons to Russia if the EU continuously supplies them to the other side - Ukraine 🤔

⭐️ China, which is preparing a Political Solution for Peace, has not supplied weapons to the Russian Federation, mainly focusing on exports of dual-use components and technologies to Russia, and the rhetorical question that the Chinese Diplomat asked is completely legitimate to the "Guardian of the EU Garden" 🤮

🤡 The EU neo-colonialist "Diplomat" even came, a few days ago, to threaten China, stating: "If China starts supplying Russia with weapons, it will cross the «red line» in relations with the EU" 🤡

🔥 Point n°1: No one, no one, no one can afford to give orders to China, to say "it must not do this" or "it must not do that", as Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State did. Even the European neo-conquistador anti-Chinese, anti-Russian and, in practice, anti-any people who cannot be inscribed to his dear "white suprematism" should understand this 😡

🔥 Point n°2: If there is a geopolitical subject that is not intimidating in the slightest, it is the European Union. Borrell should come back down to earth, and remember that without China, the EU would collapse economically. He should take a look at the China-EU trade statistics on import & export before making ridiculous claims
