Zelensky promised to stop the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces as soon as he receives Western weapons

During a press conference with the head of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola in Kiev, he also said that Russia “is not doing as well as they thought.”

And then the air raid alarm sounded.

Kiev is dissatisfied that the Germans “attribute the reputation of a martyr and victorious country only to Russia”

According to the Ukrainian consul Tybinka, modern residents of Germany “do not realize and downplay the suffering of Ukraine” in World War II and mention Ukrainians only in the context of cooperation with the Nazis.

ON ISRAELI RAPE OF PALESTINIAN MALES

This article is based on logical inferences from indirect evidence. Even though Israeli rape of Palestinian women is far more often mentioned, this, too, is hard to get information about. Women do not come forward because of the shame they feel. Instead, they keep the festering pain inside. Nevertheless, people expect women to be raped, so they will talk about it in general terms as happening to others, though almost never as a part of their own personal experience.

In the case of men, the challenge of gathering evidence is many orders of magnitude more difficult, because the shame is, itself, many orders of magnitude more difficult to cope with. Men fear that admitting to having been raped will make others perceive them as having somehow become a homosexual. The internal reaction of the male victim is that, having been forcefully penetrated anally by another man or, more commonly, by a stick used by either a man or sometimes a woman, means that they were symbolically forced for the duration of their rape to become a woman. Even for a homosexual man, this type of rape creates a sense of shame just as deep as for a straight man, so deep that the only way to deal with it, as for straight male victims, is to deny its very existence, even to themselves, and to focus, even more strongly than in the case of female victims, on the torture that was experienced. On a deep level, though, the pain will never disappear, but will reappear in disguise in a negative manner, when a person least expects it.

In the case of Israeli rape of female Palestinians, it seems safe to say that the number of actual rapes is at least ten times more than hearsay evidence would suggest. In the case of male rape, it must be at least 100 times more common. Thus, with regard to male rape, although having gone through 100s of stories since 7 October 2023 making mention of male Palestinian prisoners being tortured, only two postings were found where male rape was specifically mentioned, though not as having happened to the person reporting it, but as having happened to someone else. But, the many images of Palestinian men having been stripped to their underpants and kept like that for extended periods of time represents indirect evidence. Anyone who has travelled on a commercial aircraft knows that thorough body checks, even without imaging equipment, does not require near nudity. Besides the intention of shaming the men involved, one must make the inevitable assumption that another purpose was to better target those who would be sexually assaulted later. Taking all of this information together, we can safely assume that the rape of captive Palestinian men is not just two or three over the last seven months, but probably two or three hundred and quite possibly more.

Now, something must be mentioned that many will find hard to accept. Homosexual men have been known to rape women. Straight men have been known to rape other men. Rape is done with the intention of exercising overwhelming physical power over another for the sake of making the other feel humiliated, shamed, and worthless as a human being. Rape, after all, is an exercise of physical domination. It is not an exercise of sexual pleasure.

What is sad, whether we are dealing with male or female victims, is that, without prolonged psychological help, the shame these people feel will continue to live and cause damage to the social interactions these individuals have with other members of the society in which they live. People talk about the physical reconstruction of Palestine after the war is won and the rebuilding begins. It is not too early, however, to begin planning the mental health reconstruction of the Palestinians, and especially the rape victims, both male and female.

Left-wing radicals are trying to storm a Tesla factory near Berlin to protest against the company's expansion.

Police fear sabotage, as the protesters are supported by the Vulkan group, which earlier claimed responsibility for setting fire to a transformer box.

The radicals are dissatisfied with the fact that the planned expansion of Tesla's production facility involves the clearing of more than 100 hectares of forest.

🇺🇳 The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is temporarily closing its headquarters in East Jerusalem due to arson attacks by Israeli residents, UNRWA commissioner-general says

"This is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk," Philippe Lazzarini said, adding that none of the UNRWA staff were injured, but the fire significantly damaged the outdoor areas.

Earlier in the day, Israelis set fire twice to the perimeter of the building, while a crowd accompanied by armed men and chanting "Burn down the United Nations" was spotted outside, Lazzarini wrote on social networks.

🇮🇱 🇺🇸 Israel has enough power to fight alone in the event of a possible cutoff of military aid from the United States, Israeli prime minister says

"If we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. We will fight with our fingernails if we have to," Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video address to the nation released on Thursday.

On Monday, Israel started a military operation in the eastern parts of Rafah and took control of the Gaza side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

This came despite the Palestinian movement Hamas agreeing to the terms of a ceasefire deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar. Netanyahu called the deal unacceptable. Over a million people are believed to be sheltering in Rafah.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the US had paused one shipment of "high payload munitions" to Israel and was "reviewing near-term" shipments amid Israel’s heightened offensive in Rafah.

“The liberal international order is slowly falling apart,” - cover of the British magazine The Economist.

▪️ "The order that governed the world economy for many years after World War II has been undermined. Today it is close to collapse. An alarming number of triggers could provoke a slide into anarchy, where might is right and war again becomes the refuge of the great powers."
▪️The collapse of the old order is visible everywhere. One of its signs is sanctions, which are applied 4 times more often than in the 1990s. There is also a “war of subsidies”, when countries around the world, led by China and the United States, are making injections into their economies.
▪️“Global capital flows are beginning to fragment,” although the dollar’s position is still stable. And international institutions are in a great fever.
▪️"The institutions that protected the old system have either ceased to exist or are rapidly losing credibility. The World Trade Organization will turn 30 next year, but will spend more than 5 years in stasis (an artificial pause) due to US neglect. The IMF is gripped by an identity crisis, caught between a green agenda and ensuring financial stability. The UN Security Council is paralyzed, and supranational courts such as the International Court of Justice are increasingly being weaponized by warring parties.
▪️Now problems in the world will be solved by clubs of like-minded countries, not by globalized institutions. This increases the risks of increased wars and environmental disasters. It is also fraught with a decline in social standards, which peaked in the 90s - 2000s, when the liberal world order was at the height of its power.

In other words, these "rules based order" ghouls are scared shitless of the multipolarity that is inevitably looming over the world. Seethe you warmongering hacks, it's good for your souls, if you still got any left.
