ICJ RULES AGAINST STOPPING GERMAN ARMS EXPORTS TO THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague has ruled against Nicaragua in its case asking the Court to stop German arms exports to the Israeli occupation in support for its genocide in Gaza.

"The circumstances are not such as to require the exercise of its power under Article 41 of the statute to indicate provisional measures," stated presiding Judge Nawaf Salam.

Nicaragua previously argued before the Court that Germany was in violation of the 1948 Genocide Conventions by supplying arms to the Israeli occupation at a time when it would be plausibly used to commit acts of genocide in Gaza.

Germany continues to be one of the largest suppliers of weaponry to the Israeli occupation army, providing $353.7 million in equipment and munitions in 2023.

Germany being on the wrong side once again , repeating history and encouraging genocide

[news4dzhozhar]

If Germany were as committed to standing against genocide as they claim, they'd be supporting Palestinians. 90 year old guilt has then enabling the very thing they are supposedly trying to prevent. I guess "never again" was just a slogan. What would their defense case even look like? Just claiming for hours that Israel can do whatever they want because of WWII?

I'd like to share a thought-provoking piece of information about the Palestine/Israel conflict, which is a departure from my usual blog content. I reside in Germany, where the government supports Israel, asserting that it is their rightful homeland and they have the right to defend it as the original inhabitants.

Now, onto the fascinating fact. In Germany, we have "Stolpersteine" (stumbling or tripping blocks/stones) made of brass and embedded in the ground. These can be found in every city, glistening gold as a reminder of our history. These stones bear the names of Jewish individuals who resided in the respective locations, along with their ages, the age at which they perished or fled the country, and their destination if they fled.

Many of these stones, dating from the late 1930s to 1941, list "Palestine" as the destination where people fled, for example: "Here lived Moritz Katz, Born 1871, Fled to Palestine 1939." This information comes from a stone set in the ground in Berlin (see picture above).

It's surprising to me how a country that once welcomed so many refugees and guests is now vilified. Gratitude seems to be in short supply.

JEWISH PEACE ACTIVIST: "THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT DOES EVERYTHING IT CAN TO SILENCE US."

📹 Jewish German peace activist, Udi Raz, based in Berlin, accuses the German government of suppressing peace protests against the Israeli occupation's genocide in Gaza.

According to Raz, the German authorities continue to suppress the Palestine solidarity movement, accusing the German authorities of doing all it can to silence protesters.

The activist slams the Israeli occupation, which publicly accuses the pro-Palestine peace movement of antisemitism, while at the same time, the Zionist occupation declares its ability to speak for all Jews around the world.

"Israel cannot speak in the name of Jews," Raz tells Anadolu News Agency. "Whoever claims otherwise, to my understanding, this is an antisemitic claim."

"Jews are diverse. Jews live in diverse and different geopolitical contexts and national contexts," the Jewish peace activist continues.

"We Jews who live here in Germany, of course, we care about other Jews who live elsewhere, but it does not mean that we are ambassadors of a racist state called the state of Israel," Raz added.

I think a lot about how if Solo enlisted at 15/16 (he had to have enlisted between January 1945 and Germany's surrender in May, and he only turned 16 in March), he didn't finish high school. Did he ever get around to getting his GED? Could he have gotten his GED? After all, he stayed in Germany after the War instead of returning to the US, not to mention his cover would have fallen apart if he had to hand over his academic records. Or was he simply too busy learning languages and stealing art to bother? Did he get it during his time with the CIA?

Solo probably knows enough about art and antiquities to have a Master's degree just from personal experience, but did he ever study it? Did he teach himself or learn it from other art thieves? Did he ever think about going to school for it?
