The core issue has not been the existence of an Arab state, as Arabs already possess more than twenty sovereign states across the Middle East and North Africa. The dispute has been over the existence of one small Jewish state in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people

Industrial battery electric loco on preserved Swedish narrow gauge railway Jädraås-Tallås Järnväg. This was the summer week with forest fire risk, so no steam locomotives.
Built 1917 for a 6 km railway with ~6 km range at 13 km/h. In daily use until 1951 and as backup in 1960s. Now new batteries.

I'm sick of the whole "The Germans Didn't Know"
They KNEW the Nazis were rounding up Jews, and Romani.
They just looked the other way as they disappeared into camps.
They didn't WANT to know what was happening in the camps, but they knew what was happening.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The Ukrainian army is the strongest army in Europe. Thanks to our heroes. And I think it is simply not smart to keep this army outside NATO. But at the very least, let that be your decision, friends – not Putin’s.
