Erst den Rechtsstaat aushöhlen, dann auf jene losgehen, die ihn verteidigen – wie aus dem autoritären Playbook. So sah und sieht der autoritäre Umbau in mehreren europäischen Staaten aus. Jetzt eben auch in Deutschland und ganz ohne direkte Regierungsbeteiligung der AfD.

"The conflict has now taken on connotations of generalized sectarian war between Israelis and the Muslim world. The liquidation of Gaza would cement this narrative indefinitely. I do not think this is a good thing for Israel."

The U.S. - Saudi - Hamas deal (that thankfully cuts the Israeli gov out) includes Hamas having some participation in a new government if they agree to disarm, hand in their weapons over a three year period, and stop all military activity.

This is becoming very cringe for the crime minister.

It sounds like one of the American cardinals blabbed to the Wall Street Journal about how the papal conclave voting went down. The details are in the second half of the article.
WSJ's reporting agrees with what I'd heard: the Latin American cardinals had coalesced around Prevost even before the conclave, and provided the base of his support, which then attracted those opposed to Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Included in this article about the recent quake near Istanbul is a closer look at the relationship between the 2019 M5.7 Marmara Sea quake and the M6.2 event. ⚒️🧪
Here's Temblor's analysis of the M6.2 earthquake that struck the Marmara Fault near Istanbul. This quake was felt by a city of nearly 16 million people, but thankfully, the fault itself lies 15 km south of the city. Read more, in our latest, by Stein and Sevilgen.

"There are few unicorns in Europe, alas, and too little innovation. That said, there are absolutely no tech executives boasting on social media of spending their weekends feeding bits of the state “into the wood chipper”."
@spignal.bsky.social about Europe
The thing about Europe is it doesn't invest enough in defence. But nor does it joke about invading neighbours.

The thing about Europe is its economy is ailing. But Europeans have no concept of "medical bankruptcy".

Maybe #Netanyahu should have made peace with all of #Israel's neighbors, while his bully buddy #Trump was still strong...
He threw away that opportunity for the wet dream of a Trump #Gaza. Now the whole country might become collateral damage of the US #crash.

It’s not often that Israel mass-kills adult male Palestinians and the world reacts with outrage. All Israel has to do is claim they were Hamas to 2K-bomb them to pieces. But there’s something too familiar about 15 point-blank executions and a buried ambulance that cannot be explained away as “war”

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
