Jennifer Rankin at The Guardian:

French judicial authorities on Sunday extended the detention of the Russian-born founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, after his arrest at a Paris airport over alleged offences related to the messaging app. His arrest at the Le Bourget airport outside Paris on Saturday was the latest extraordinary twist in the career of one of the world’s most influential tech icons. The detention of Durov, 39, was extended beyond Sunday night by the investigating magistrate who is handling the case, according to a source close to the investigation. This initial period of detention for questioning can last up to a maximum of 96 hours. When this phase of detention ends, the judge can decide to free him or press charges and remand in further custody. French investigators had issued a warrant for Durov’s arrest as part of an inquiry into allegations of fraud, drug trafficking, organised crime, promotion of terrorism and cyberbullying.

Durov is accused of failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform and was stopped after arriving in Paris from Baku on his private jet on Saturday night. “Enough of Telegram’s impunity,” said one investigator who expressed surprise that Durov flew to Paris knowing he was a wanted man. In a statement on Sunday evening, Telegram said: “Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act – its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving.

[...] Durov lives in Dubai, where Telegram is based, and holds citizenship of France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He recently said he had tried to settle in Berlin, London, Singapore and San Francisco before choosing Dubai, which he praised for its business environment and “neutrality”. In the UAE, Telegram faces little pressure to moderate its content, while western governments are trying to crack down on hate speech, disinformation, sharing of images of child abuse and other illegal content.

Telegram offers end-to-end encrypted messaging and allows users to create channels to disseminate information to followers. Especially popular in the former Soviet Union, the app is widely used by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and his circle, as well as politicians throughout Ukraine, to release information about the war. It is also one of the few places where Russians can get unfiltered information about the conflict, after the Kremlin tightened media controls in the wake of the full-scale invasion. Its apparently unbreakable encryption has made Telegram a haven for extremists and conspiracy theorists. Investigative journalists at the central European news site VSquare said it had become the “‘go-to’ tool for Russian propagandists, both leftwing and rightwing radicals, American QAnon and conspiracy theorists,” concluding it was an “ecosystem for the radicalisation of opinion”. The app was also used widely by far-right agitators plotting anti-immigration rallies in England and Northern Ireland in the wake of the stabbing of three children at a Southport dance class last month. The anti-racism campaign group Hope Not Hate concluded that Telegram had become the “app of choice” for racists and violent extremists and “a cesspit of antisemitic content” with minimal moderation or effort from the app to curb extremist content.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France over the weekend based on an inquiry into allegations of fraud, drug trafficking, organised crime, promotion of terrorism and cyberbullying, and child sex abuse material (aka child pornography) on the social media app.

Telegram is popular in Russia and most of the former Soviet countries, and in the west, a hub for far-right conspiracy theorists.

The arrest of Durov has ZERO to do with “free speech”, despite right-wing spin claiming otherwise.

Refuting common blood libel about Jews and israel:

gen·o·cide

noun

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

"a campaign of genocide"

From 1990 to 2022 the population of Palestine increased from 1.98 million to 5.04 million people. This is a growth of 155.0 percent in 32 years. The highest increase in Palestine was recorded in 1991 with 4.58 percent.

Israel is estimated to possess somewhere between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads (one can be used to wipe out all Palestinians if wanted but Israel will not)

What percent of Gaza's population has been killed?

1%

7, 2023. With 23,357 killed in Israel's military operation in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, the Gaza Strip population has now lost 1% of its 2.3 million residents. (There is no reason to believe these numbers are true as hamas is a terrorist organization with no intention of reporting accurate numbers therefore we can estimate less.)

Jews originally trace their ancestry to a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-speaking tribes known as the Israelites that inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the southern Israelite Kingdom of Judah.

With this we know that Jews come from Judea and Arabs come from Arabia.

49 Muslim countries 2 billion Muslims

To 15 million Jews in their one Jewish state the size of New Jersey. 100 to 1 odds.

Zion: the hill in Jerusalem where king David built his kingdom -David (flourished c. 1000 bce) was the second ruler of the united kingdom of ancient Israel and Judah

Israel predates Islam by 1500 years.

ZionISM: the believe that Jews have the right to self determination in their homeland.

Muhammad Amin al-Husayni (189?-1974) was the Mufti (chief Muslim Islamic legal religious authority) of Jerusalem under the political authority of the British Mandate in Palestine from 1921 to 1937. His primary political causes were: -exiling and further blocking from Jews in diaspora from immigration.

-Organizing pogroms against Jews

-meeting with Hitler

-launching a war that would they would again lose & effectively displace thousands of Palestinians back into their neighboring Arab countries where they came from and blaming it all on the Jews.

After three defensive wars in 1949, 1956, and 1967, Israel had expanded its territory, leading to heightened tensions with the Arab states. On October 6, 1973, an Arab coalition of Egyptian and Syrian forces launched a surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur—the Jewish holy day of atonement.

After these victories and acquiring of more land, the Israelis chose to give back their ancestral soil as a land for peace deal which the Palestinians would violate year after year by electing genocidal governments that seek to finish hitlers bidding.

To date; The bilateral agreements between Israel and the Palestinians contain no prohibition against the building or expansion of settlements.

Despite contrary allegations repeated ad nauseam.

2001 Israelis uprooted its citizens who had settled in Gaza already in order to make way for the Arabs to settle in an effort for peace but almost immediately they elect Hamas which is a proxy of Iran much like Hezbollah who’s only political agenda is to kill all Jews.

Oct 7th is a direct result of what happens when you invite terrorists to your front door.

For more copy and paste link:

SATURDAY-OCTOBER-SEVEN.COM

For the “UN” excuse;

Islamic Countries in the UN (46): Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Sudan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Morocco, Iraq, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Syria, Kazakhstan, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Tunisia, Guinea, Azerbaijan, Somalia, Tajikistan, Sierra Leone, Libya, Jordan, UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Kuwait, Albania, Mauritania, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Gambia, Comoros, Djibouti, Maldives, Brunei, Lebanon. All of which are under the influence of IRAN which guess what? Owns Hezbollah and Hamas as its proxies. All of these nations have genocided or exiled all of its Jews. It’s no wonder they all take a majority vote over israel while simultaneously burying their crimes against humanity - but no mention of that from the peanut gallery on ur end right? Doesn’t fit your shill narrative. And to make matters worse; Iran's appointment to chair UN yes that’s right IRAN was appointed as chair for human rights - which drew rightful criticism at least thank god. Oh and 450 terror operatives in Gaza, mostly Hamas members, are also employed by UNRWA

[mariacallous]

At this year’s G-7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, U.S. President Joe Biden summed up his foreign-policy doctrine in two words: “democracies deliver.”

It is a sentiment shared by many other democratic leaders, such as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who seek to showcase democratic success at a time of widespread democratic disillusionment.

But what does it mean for democracies to deliver? And how can they do it better?

In a recent book, Defeating the Dictators: How Democracy Can Prevail in the Age of the Strongman, Charles Dunst explores these questions, arguing that, while democracies have delivered great things in the past, from the Marshall Plan to the moon landing, democratic systems are falling short today.

If democracies want to maintain their edge in the global competition against autocracies, he asserts, they will need to identify their own deficits and remedy them. Only when democracies are flourishing at home can they maximize their power and influence abroad—and convince the world that the democratic model is one to be admired and emulated.

According to Dunst, a government delivers when it can provide “a good life” for its citizens. This generally means ensuring basic needs such as health care and education, functional and fair state institutions, and a strong economy.

Dunst notes that throughout history, democracies have delivered, thanks to their free, open, and stable systems. Indeed, as one of us argued in a recent book, democracies have consistently outcompeted autocracies for the past 2,500 years, from the Greeks against the Persians through the Cold War.

But Dunst warns that autocracies today are more capable and more attractive than in the past, threatening democracy’s long-standing dominance. He argues that small autocracies such as Singapore and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) demonstrate how illiberal regimes can provide their people with a high quality of life—even while denying them basic political rights. Singapore’s subsidized housing or the UAE’s free health care services are appealing to many.

Larger autocracies can sometimes deliver, too. China, he argues, despite its recent slowdown, has made significant strides in infrastructure, education, and economic growth over the last few decades. Meanwhile, according to Dunst, democracies have been struggling with fraying or nonexistent social safety nets, outdated infrastructure, and political polarization, among other challenges, while autocracies build new airports and high-speed rail connections. It is no surprise that some are starting to question whether autocracies might be just as effective—if not more so—at delivering the good life than democracies.

Dunst argues that democracies are not doomed, but they need redirection and better long-term strategies to foster good governance and better compete with China and other autocracies.

He provides a series of policy recommendations for rejuvenating democracy: investing in human capital and innovation, building robust 21st-century physical and digital infrastructure, expanding health care and workers’ rights, cleaning up corruption, and enacting smart immigration policies to attract the best and brightest to democratic shores.

Overall, Defeating the Dictators is a creative and thought-provoking book bolstered by well-researched statistics, potent anecdotes, and a slate of high-profile endorsements from defenders of democracy on both sides of the aisle in the United States and from around the world. It provides a welcome, mostly optimistic take on a subject characterized by too much recent pessimism.

Still, the book has some shortcomings.

First, the methodology is questionable. Dunst cherry-picks the world’s most successful dictatorships, like Singapore and the UAE, and identifies their policy successes that democracies should emulate.

But this focus on highly anomalous autocracies risks losing sight of the broader, more dismal picture for dictators around the world, which Dunst only briefly mentions. After all, dictatorships are much more likely to be abject failures than standout successes. There is a robust correlation, for example, between autocratic rule and low GDP per capita.

Furthermore, Singapore and the UAE are both small states. It is doubtful their model can travel to other, larger states—whether autocracies or democracies.

Many of Dunst’s sensible recommendations border on the unrealistic, as he himself acknowledges. Passing sweeping voting rights or immigration reform legislation in the United States and other major democracies will not be easy. Some of his solutions for overcoming gridlock—for politicians to be ��braver” and have “courage”—are likely insufficient.

After all, the inability to force through massive change is a feature—not a bug—of democracy. Urging democracies, as Dunst does, to overcome their divisions and mass resources for investments in major priorities is like advising dictators to impose checks and balances on themselves to constrain rash decision-making. Neither set of recommendations meshes with the logic of the respective political system.

Second, with its strong and justified emphasis on domestic democratic renewal, the book mostly overlooks the important advantages that democracy provides in foreign policy. International relations scholars have shown that democracies build larger and more effective alliances, are more likely to sign and comply with international agreements, and are more likely to win the wars they fight.

In the strategic competition between democracies and autocracies, what democracies can achieve together may be more important than what they can achieve separately at home. Indeed, after Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there has been remarkable free-world unity, with the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia working together to sanction Russia and provide aid to Ukraine.

In many of the areas where Dunst advocates democratic investments, such as emerging technologies, democracies will be most successful if they combine efforts and work together. A democratic technology alliance, for example, could help the free world maintain its innovation edge and serve to embed democratic norms into 21st-century technologies. New democratic trade and economic partnerships could help “de-risk” and secure supply chains from autocratic coercion and overreliance on China and Russia.

To be sure, balancing domestic priorities with allied commitments will always be challenging, as evidenced by Europe’s recent frustration with Washington’s “Buy American” approach to clean energy innovation. Still, greater international coordination among like-minded democracies has vast potential.

In the end, democracies can defeat dictators by doing what they do best. They should continue to provide the stable economic institutions and freedoms that unleash radical economic innovation and high long-run rates of growth. They should use their combined economic heft to build the military power necessary to deter revisionist autocracies. They should expand and deepen their alliances and partnerships with like-minded states to advance shared goals and develop the free-world strategies of tomorrow.

They should also heed Dunst’s advice, to the extent possible, and strengthen their own societies and institutions to unlock democracy’s full potential at home.

UAE Visit Visa News For Pakistan Today: UAE Visit Visa Processing Time 2024

Dubai continues to be a top destination for travelers, thanks to its thriving business environment, luxurious lifestyle, and breathtaking sights. For those interested in a short-term visit, understanding the visa process, costs, and essential requirements can make the journey smoother. This guide will break down the visa processing time, fees, "show money" requirements, and other important considerations for visiting Dubai.

1. Processing Time for Dubai Visit Visa

The processing time for a Dubai visit visa largely depends on the type of visa and the agent or government platform you use. Here are some general timeframes:

Standard Processing: For those applying through official government websites like ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship), visit visa approvals generally take 24 to 96 hours, or approximately 3-4 business days. However, it can extend to a week in certain cases.

Agent Processing: If you are applying through a private agent, the processing time may vary. While some agents may expedite the application, others may delay the process due to higher client volumes or quota restrictions. Be cautious when choosing an agent, and confirm their licensing and reliability.

Agent Quotas: Agents are often limited by monthly visa quotas, which can affect the timing of your application. As a result, there may be delays if the agent’s quota is fully booked. To avoid unnecessary delays, choose reputable agents with good customer reviews.

2. Cost of a Dubai Visit Visa

The cost of a Dubai visit visa depends on the visa type and the duration of stay:

Short-term Visit Visa (30 days): Approximately AED 350–AED 400 (USD 95–USD 110).

Long-term Visit Visa (60 days): Around AED 700–AED 800 (USD 190–USD 220).

The costs may vary if additional services, such as travel insurance, are included. For visitors planning a long stay, travel insurance is often mandatory and may be included in the visa package offered by agents.

3. Show Money Requirement for Dubai Visit Visa in 2024

In recent months, there has been an increased emphasis on "show money" or proof of financial capability. While not an official rule for all visitors, some travelers may be required to demonstrate sufficient funds for their stay in Dubai. This is especially applicable for visitors from certain countries, where immigration authorities may request proof of financial stability.

Amount of Show Money: As per recent travel advisories, a minimum of AED 3,000 (USD 815) is often advised as show money. This amount may vary based on the visitor's nationality, visa type, and intended length of stay.

Show Money Duration: Ideally, travelers should maintain the show money for at least two months before applying, as some immigration authorities may look for a consistent bank balance to verify the applicant’s financial stability.

4. Importance of Choosing Licensed Agents

Using an unlicensed or uncertified agent can lead to delays and financial losses. Some travelers report issues with agents who collect fees but delay applications or do not submit them promptly. Here are a few tips to ensure a smooth experience:

Verify Agent Credentials: Check if the agent is certified and has a good reputation for handling visa applications.

Clear Communication: Ensure that your agent gives you a clear timeline and updates on your visa status. Ask if they will apply immediately or after a set period.

Review Customer Feedback: Look up reviews and testimonials about the agent’s services to assess their reliability.

5. Additional Costs to Consider: Insurance, Return Tickets, and Dummy Tickets

To comply with visa requirements, some additional expenses may arise:

Travel Insurance: Often included in the visa package, travel insurance is essential for emergency medical coverage and can also affect visa approval. Confirm with your agent that the visa package includes valid insurance.

Return Tickets: A confirmed return ticket is usually required to prevent overstays. Booking a return ticket also demonstrates your intention to leave Dubai before the visa expires.

Dummy Tickets: Avoid relying on dummy tickets, as immigration authorities may sometimes verify bookings. To prevent issues, consider booking refundable tickets if your plans are flexible.

6. Role of Recruitment Agencies for Extended Visits

For those looking to explore employment options during their visit, consulting with#1 recruitment Agencies in Pakistan in Dubai or in your home country can be beneficial. For instance, the best recruitment agencies in Pakistan can offer guidance and potential opportunities for individuals interested in working in Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries.

If you're specifically considering employment in Saudi Arabia, a recruitment agency in Pakistan for Saudi Arabia can help you navigate the work visa process, including finding a suitable employer and understanding visa requirements in Saudi Arabia.

7. Common Challenges and Solutions When Applying for a Dubai Visit Visa

Delayed Approvals: Delays can often be traced back to agent-related issues, such as high application volumes or lack of transparency. To avoid delays, ensure that your application is submitted on time and regularly check the status with your agent or directly through official platforms.

Refund Issues: Some applicants report difficulties in receiving refunds if their visa application is denied or delayed. To protect yourself, ask the agent about their refund policy in case of denial.

Unexpected Documentation: Some travelers may encounter unexpected requirements, such as proof of accommodation or show money. It is recommended to have these documents ready to ensure a smooth immigration process.

8. Essential Tips for a Successful Visa Application

Prepare Proper Documentation: Besides the visa application, prepare supporting documents like your passport, travel insurance, bank statement (for show money), and return ticket confirmation.

Maintain Financial Stability: A stable bank balance not only helps with the show money requirement but also reflects positively on your application.

Stay Informed on Immigration Policies: Dubai’s immigration policies are updated regularly, so check recent travel advisories and visa requirements.

Use Certified Agents: Licensed agents are more reliable, as they are regulated and accountable to the authorities.

Consider Alternative Options: If you’re unable to secure a Dubai visit visa due to processing times or costs, look into alternatives like exploring nearby countries in the Middle East that offer easier visa processes or on-arrival options.

Conclusion

Applying for a Dubai visit visa can be a smooth experience if you are well-prepared and choose reliable agents. Understanding the visa processing time, costs, and "show money" requirements will help you manage expectations and avoid potential issues. If you’re seeking employment during your stay, recruitment agency in Pakistan for Saudi Arabia can provide valuable assistance in connecting you with the right opportunities. By following these guidelines, you can ensure a hassle-free entry to Dubai and make the most of your time in this vibrant city.

New Zealand Visa for UAE Residents: Complete Guide

New Zealand is a dream destination for many travelers, offering stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural experiences. For UAE residents, visiting this beautiful country is easier than ever, thanks to the New Zealand Visa Waiver Program. This program allows UAE residents to stay in New Zealand for up to three months without needing a traditional visa, provided certain conditions are met.

In this guide, we’ll explore the requirements for UAE residents to enter New Zealand, including the necessary documents, the application process for the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA), and other essential details. Whether you’re traveling for tourism, business, or to visit family, this comprehensive guide will help ensure your journey to New Zealand is smooth and stress-free.

Here are some New Zealand visas for UAE residents: Complete Guide

1. Eligibility for the New Zealand Visa Waiver Program: 

The New Zealand Visa Waiver Program allows UAE residents to visit New Zealand for up to three months without applying for a full visa. However, there are some essential conditions to meet:

Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure from New Zealand. This requirement ensures that you can return to the UAE or travel to another country without any issues after your visit.

NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority): You will need to apply for an NZeTA before your trip. The NZeTA is an electronic document that allows you to travel to New Zealand under the visa waiver program. It’s simple to apply for and is usually processed quickly online.

Return Flight Ticket: Proof of a return flight to your home country or another destination is required. This assures New Zealand immigration authorities that you have plans to leave after your stay.

Sufficient Funds: You must show proof that you have enough funds to support yourself while in New Zealand. This typically means you need at least NZ$1,000 per month during your stay.

Health and Character: You must be in good health and of good character to enter New Zealand. This may include answering questions about your health or criminal history.

Purpose of Visit: You should be able to clearly outline your plans while in New Zealand, whether for tourism, visiting family or friends, or attending events.

Meeting these requirements is essential to ensuring a smooth entry into New Zealand. Failure to meet any of these conditions could result in delays or denial of entry.

2. Documents Required for New Zealand Visa Waiver: 

When applying for the New Zealand visa waiver or traveling under the program, having all the necessary documents ready is crucial. These documents help immigration authorities process your application quickly and ensure you comply with New Zealand’s travel rules. Here are the main documents you’ll need:

Digital Passport Photo: You will need a recent digital photo that meets New Zealand’s passport photo guidelines. This is a key part of your NZeTA application.

Bank Statements: To prove you have sufficient funds, you may need to provide recent bank statements. This is essential for showing that you can support yourself during your stay.

UAE Residence Permit: A copy of your UAE residence permit or visa will be required as part of the application process. This document proves your residency in the UAE.

Previous Visa Copies: If you’ve held any previous Schengen or other international visas, it's helpful to include copies of these. They can demonstrate your travel history and may speed up your application process.

Passport Copy: If you’re applying for the visa waiver online, you will need to upload a digital copy of your passport. If you’re submitting a paper application, you may need to provide your original passport or a certified copy.

These documents are important, as they ensure you meet the financial, identity, and residency requirements for traveling to New Zealand.

3. How to Apply for an NZeTA: 

The NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) is mandatory for all UAE residents traveling to New Zealand under the visa waiver program. It’s a simple and convenient online process:

Online Application: Visit the official New Zealand immigration website or download the NZeTA app to apply. The application requires basic personal details, passport information, and the purpose of your visit.

Payment: There is a fee for the NZeTA, which can be paid online. You may also be required to pay an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL), which helps support New Zealand’s conservation efforts.

Processing Time: In most cases, the NZeTA is processed quickly, often within 24 to 72 hours. However, it’s best to apply at least a few days before your travel date to avoid any last-minute delays.

Once your NZeTA is approved, you’ll receive confirmation via email, and it will be electronically linked to your passport. This allows for easy entry into New Zealand.

4. Health and character requirements

New Zealand has strict health and character requirements for all visitors. As part of your NZeTA application, you may be asked questions about your medical history and any criminal convictions. In some cases, you may need to undergo a medical examination or provide a police clearance certificate if requested by New Zealand authorities.

Health: You should be in good health to enter New Zealand. If you have any serious health conditions, you may be asked to provide medical documentation to ensure your entry is permitted.

Character: You must be of good character to enter New Zealand. This means you should not have any serious criminal convictions or be involved in activities that could pose a threat to New Zealand’s security.

5. Plan Your Stay in New Zealand

UAE residents traveling to New Zealand typically visit for tourism, family visits, or business-related activities. When entering New Zealand, immigration officers may ask you about your plans during your stay. It’s helpful to have a clear idea of where you’ll be staying, which cities you’ll visit, and what activities you’ll engage in.

Popular tourist destinations include Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown, and Rotorua, each offering unique experiences like adventure sports, cultural tours, and scenic landscapes.

Conclusion

Visiting New Zealand as a UAE resident is an exciting opportunity, and the New Zealand Visa Waiver Program makes it easier than ever. By ensuring that you have a valid passport, an NZeTA, proof of funds, and the required documents, you can enjoy a stress-free journey. Remember to apply for your NZeTA well in advance, have your travel plans ready, and meet the health and character requirements for a smooth trip. New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes and welcoming culture await you!

Obtaining a New Zealand visa for UAE residents is a straightforward process if all requirements are met.
