Op 14, 16 en 17 okt 2024 vindt ten overstaan van de WIM (Wet Internationale Misdrijven) Kamer van de rechtbank Den Haag de inhoudelijke behandeling plaats van de strafzaak tegen Hasna A.
@MollyQuell @EliotHiggins 2).
Het is de eerste strafzaak in Nederland waarin een verdachte op grond van (secundaire) universele rechtsmacht wordt vervolgd voor internationale misdrijven die tijdens het bewind van IS in het zogeheten »kalifaat« tegen Jezidi’s zijn gepleegd.”

„Police say they have stopped what they described as a suspected third assassination attempt against @realDonaldTrump.
@BillMelugin_ @Shayan86 @FoxNews @realDonaldTrump 2).
Officers from the the Riverside County Sheriff (@RSO) stopped Vem Miller, 49, at the perimeter of Trump’s rally in Coachella on Saturday, carrying weapons that the local sheriff said were likely intended for »another assassination attempt«.
@BillMelugin_ @Shayan86 @FoxNews @realDonaldTrump @RSO 3).
If police are correct, the incident would mark the third time that Trump has been targeted by gunmen in the last four months, amid concern about the level of security around him on the campaign trail.
@Shayan86 Unlike the fascist Vladimir Pootn [1], the real Marxist is Xi Jinping
1).
„Mr. Xi’s inspirations – Lenin, Stalin, Mao – all forged or expanded communist regimes during or following wars.
@Shayan86 2).
Stalin’s 1939 pact with Hitler also offers an uncanny parallel to Mr. Xi’s support for Mr. Pootin: a communist state aiding a fascist state in its war on the capitalist West.”

[1] Although the current dictator of the RF is a man with a well-known Chekist biography, the exact analogy of the communist Soviet Union to Pootinʼs Russia seems problematic (a), even though for formal and legal reasons the RF is the successor of the USSR (b).

„[...] the people who pioneered the nation were predominantly European Jews [1] who had a very clear idea about what its identity should be and that was very clearly set to European tastes.
@rachshabi @reider 2).
Palestinian Jews [2], who were here and watched the influx of Jews from Europe, thought the exact opposite. They thought Jewish culture was Arab culture and that the Europeans were the ones that had deviated from Jewish culture.
@rachshabi @reider 3).
The big taboo in Israel is the term »Arab Jew« [3] [4]. Youʼre not allowed to say that.”
