Thus even with major influence campaigns by Russia the coalition of centrist parties did not crumble. And that is indeed a further sign of #peakfascism. Lovely!

To be more precise:
In this EU election the far-right ECP+ID parliamentary groups are projected to gain 130 seats combined (down [!] from 135 seats in 2019), the centrist-liberal coalition of EPP+S&D+RE is projected to keep its vast majority of 407 seats (down from 444 seats in 2019).

"Far-right makes gains as Ursula von der Leyen says 'centre is holding' but world in 'turmoil' " theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Although ECP and ID will have gained seats, the current coalition of EPP+S&D+RE keeps its majority in the EU parliament. I'll file that under #peakfascism
Von der Leyen says ‘centre is holding’ as far right surges in EU elections – as it happened
European commission president says ‘there remains a majority in the centre for a strong Europe’ as far right makes huge gains across continent; Emmanuel Macron makes shock election move

Lehre (2): Auch der Deutsche Michel linker/progressiver Couleur sollte seine nationale/nationalistische Brille ablegen und EU-Ergebnisse von der EU-Perspektive her denken statt sie mit nationalen Ergebnissen zu verwechseln oder zu vermengen.

Die (prognostizierten) Stimmenverluste der Grünen Fraktion (2,5%) und der Sozialdemokraten (2,0%) sowie der (prognostizierte) Stimmenzuwachs der Konservativen (1,5%) sind hingegen marginal. Lehre (1): Das Erstaunliche dieser EU-Wahl ist das Erstarken des Liberalen Blocks.

In der (prognostizierten) Sitzverteilung der Fraktionen im EU-Parlament haben die Linken 5% zugelegt. Die Rechtsfraktionen EKR und ID erhöhen zwar ihren Anteil zusammen um 9,83%, werden aber durch den Stimmenzuwachs der Liberalen von 11% (!) ausgebremst.

Der Deutsche Michel linker/progressiver Couleur erschaudert ob des nationalen Ergebnisses der Europawahl. Albern. Man schaue besser auf die (prognostizierten) Stimmenanteile der *politischen Blöcke* im EU-Parlament. Das Ergebnis sieht deutlich anders aus.

Instead of looking into the *national* election programs for the elections to the European Parliament 2024 I should have consulted the election programs of the parliamentary groups of the European parliament instead. Silly me, I could have saved a lot of time: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...
I'm often amused that Western-, Global South-, and Palestinian activists demand Israel to be abolished because it is a "product" of "colonialism". No-one calls for the liquidation of Lebanon, of Syria, or the Kingdom of Jordan that were likewise created and established by colonialism.

Iran’s ex-President Ahmadinejad to run in presidential election, state TV says | CNN
Iran’s hardline former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has registered to run for president in the country’s June 28 election, state television reported.
edition.cnn.comWill there be another Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov? (Not necessarily in the ranks of the Russian Air Defence Forces but anywhere in the political and security apparatus?) Will there be some good people left who can turn the world from sliding?
Especially when you have a sadomasochistic approach to life and a "culture" that superelevates it in a sacral manner. The "sacrifices" become the source of meaning and are thus necessary.

Too high have already been the casulties, the costs, the future prospects of Russia, the "sacrifices" that cannot be expected by both regime and population to will have been in vain. It's the losses and costs, the "sacrifices", that are making it impossible for Putin and the Russians to stop.

So to me the question boils down to: Is there still a way left to prevent the Russian war against Ukranie to morph into a major European land warfare? Right now things look like I expected them in 2022: For Russia there is simply no point not to enter into a major war beyond Ukraine.

Pro-Gazans insist that Israel heeds the ICJ order to stop its military operation in Rafah. Strangely, they keep awfully silent about the same court's call on the Gaza-ISIS for the unconditional release of all hostages. The Gaza-ISIS didn't comply, so why should Israel?
In that manoeuvre, the unique violence of the Gaza-ISIS is not savagery but a savvy tool of unmasking hypocrisy and "colonialism". It's a means to an end and as such no longer morally unambiguous.
4-4
And as Israel and the West don't want to appear as violent and barbaric, the Gaza-ISIS made its point of "tearing down the masks" and "showing the true faces" of both.
3-4
And conversely, if they defend Israel, they need to give the Gaza-ISIS some slack. In both ways the singularity of the atrocities committed by the Gaza-ISIS vanish behind a construed both-siderism of violence and savagery.
2-4
The method of the Gaza-ISIS propaganda seems fairly obvious: Paint Israel as committing exactly the same atrocities it accuses the Gaza-ISIS of performing on 10/7. If people detest the Gaza-ISIS, then they must detest Israel.

[Explanation: The word "holocaust" stems from Church Latin "holocaustum", the burnt offering. In Gen. 22, 1-19, God tells Abraham to take his son Isaac to sacrifice him in a fire set up on a mountain in Mori'ah (!)]

The Jewish state is thus set up to be sacrificed, burned as a Holocaust for the redemption of the original sins of the West. »

Burning Israel, the effigy of the West, will cleanse the West itself from its past transgressions. The wish to eradicate Israel is therapeutic, indeed salvific: the sins of all the forefathers, those imperialist, colonialist, slave-holding Europeans, will finally be atoned. >

cafeamericainmag.comEveryone seems to blame Israel (as an excuse) for what is essentially their own war voyeurism. Why not just accept your war voyeurism and stop blaming Israel? You crave for ugly images so you can wallow in your self-righteous fury, fine. Just leave Israel out of your derangement.

Still no expression of solidarity from the mosques in my hometown regarding the thwarted attack plans on the synagogue of our city.
Today police thwarted attack plans on the synagogue of my home town. Two attackers were arrested planning to stab worshippers and then be shot by members of the task force. Both are in custody, nobody was harmed.
This is one reason I keep wearing an Israel pin on my lapel. Fucking anti-Semites!
You know exactly what this and other pictures are about, don't play dumb.

In order to cater to all sides, Netanyahu waited too long. That was a mistake.
Israel ordered to immediately halt Rafah offensive by top U.N. court
Israel is unlikely to comply with the order, which the top United Nations court has no power to enforce, but the landmark ruling will pile pressure on the increasingly isolated U.S. ally.

In a sense they did. Because both, the Gaza-ISIS and Netanyahu, benefited from keeping the PA weak.
Well, Netanyahu is a story on his own. But as you are in the blame game, no serious discussion will come about that (or rather: him) and what his policies have done to Israel.
Yep, everybody's a victim. And it's never their fault, always that of the side they and the Gaza-ISIS want to exterminate (cf. Hamas Covenant from 1987). Learn something, then come back. Until then: Cheers.
