❗️“Stolen Land”: Dutch Prosecutors Mull Legal Action Against Booking .com Over Israeli Settlement Listings

Dutch nonprofit org SOMO has accused Booking of “profiting from war crimes by facilitating the rental of vacation homes on land stolen from the indigenous Palestinian population.”

Research shows that Booking’s platform offered up to 70 listings for properties in East Jerusalem and the West Bank between 2021 and 2023, SOMO revealed.

SOMO filed the complaint with the Dutch public prosecutor in November, together with three other human rights groups, but has not gone public with it before.

What is known about New Caledonia population, which protests against French colonial policy?

French President Emmanuel Macron visited New Caledonia, where The local Kanak population has rioting for more than a week and the situation remains tense. What are they fighting for?

🔸The anger voiced by independence supporters in New Caledonia is directed against a new constitutional amendment recently passed by the French parliament. It seeks to enable more than 25,000 French people in New Caledonia to vote in elections. Kanaks are convinced that the political weight of their community will be weakened as a result.

🔸The population of the islands, according to the 2019 census, is 271,000 people. The largest national group is the indigenous Kanak population (41%) followed by Europeans (24%).

🔸 French authority in the region is exercised by the High Commissioner. He is appointed by the French president. Executive power is exercised by the local government, all members of which are Kanaks. France transferred most powers to the Kanak government, retaining control of of defense, foreign and monetary policy and justice. The neew law may change that.

🔸Some Kanaks demand independence from France. In referenda held in 2018 and 2020, only 44% and 47% of participants voted in favor of independence. A 2021 referendum was boycotted by independence parties, leading to a skewed result of 97% against.

🔸French High Commissioner Louis Le Frank blames the unrest on the Field Coordination Cell (CCAT), which launched protests at the beginning of last week. The party called on social media for demonstrators to display Kanak flags and banners opposing the French amendment.

🔸Members of the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS) also participate in mass riots. Its leader Jimmy Naouna wants Macron to scrap the electoral reform during his visit here.

🇳🇨 New Caledonia uprising puts France and Australia on geopolitical collision course

Both countries want to have the small Pacific archipelago in their sphere of influence. If France fails to crack down the mass riots and protests, Australia could very well step in and take advantage of the crisis.

“Australia could definitely fund the indigenous resistance movement, support them and, if necessary, as Australia has been very robust in the last few days, deploy its military or deploy the Royal Australian Air Force.”

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ On the Takeover Claims for #Kleshcheyevka and #Andreyevka in #SouthBakhmut Sector of #Bakhmut Direction⚡️

🔵 Regarding #Kleshcheyevka:

🇺🇦 Ukro Petrenko reported last evening, on 23 May 2024 at 18:33:

💬 #Kleshcheyevka. Clarifications for the 👉 assault on 21 May. enemy advanced along two streets to the ruins of the Intercession Church and occupied an area up to 600 m wide to a depth of 800 m.

❗️Even if we see his Copium Grey Zone as completely red, the village is not completely reconquered. Since so far, apart from the already known attack videos, no other videos have appeared that could have been located on the western edge of the village (you can convince me otherwise with links), the village cannot be considered to have been completely taken over.
🟡 It should also be taken into account that it would be difficult for the RFAF to secure the village as long as the heights to the west have not been conquered.
🟡 The same applies to the constant reports of the recapture of #Krynki. Here the opposite bank of the #Dnieper would have to be conquered, as the RFAF cannot gain a foothold in the previous part held by the AFU, which has been completely destroyed. Part of #Krynki remains a grey zone for the time being.

🔵 Regarding #Andreyevka, was the takeover 👉 claimed by the RF MoD yesterday. I noticed that Boris Rozhin left this important fact unmentioned in his 👉 summary.

❗️ In this case too, video evidence may be presented or confirmation from the other side may be awaited.
