Opposition parties, which have attacked the Bill as a blow to one of the foundations of Israeli democracy, boycotted the final vote.“

„Israelis want Benjamin Netanyahu to say sorry and go away.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. And the justice of morality must and will win in the end.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1941-01-06), “State of the Union [Four Freedoms],” Washington, D. C.

»"We shoot at everything that moves"

More than a year after October 7, a second hostage deal is a long way off. Some Israeli soldiers are threatening the political leadership with refusal to go to war. Not only to force Israel's government to change course, but also because of misconduct in the army.«

„It is known in Israel that Netanyahu is deliberately undermining a deal with Hamas that would achieve the release of the hostages. Why aren't hundreds of thousands protesting on Israel's streets?“

„Man weiß in Israel, dass Netanjahu bewusst einen Deal mit Hamas unterwandert, der die Befreiung der Geiseln erzielen würde. Warum protestieren nicht Hunderttausende auf Israels Straßen?“

“President Joe Biden is expected to announce a new executive action as early as next week that would shield certain undocumented immigrants living in the United States from deportation, according to five sources familiar with the White House’s plans.

The action is expected to protect undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation and allow them to work legally in the country. The program could also provide a more streamlined pathway to U.S. citizenship.”
