🟡 BREAKING: Germany passed a new resolution that seeks to punish criticism of Israel with withdrawal of citizenship. Here’s what you need to know. Image
You think Germany’s anti-Palestinian crackdowns are bad? Brace yourself—things just got a whole lot worse. Image
The official resolution text emphasizes the need to crack down on “left-wing anti-imperialism” and adopts the far-right rhetoric of “imported anti-Semitism.” In addition, Germany may further slash funds for international aid organizations that are critical of Israel. Image
The resolution was drafted behind closed doors. For months, local media reported on the relentless pressure exerted by the Israeli embassy and lobbying groups on politicians. They have a looming fear of being branded "anti-Semites" or "Israel-haters" in mainstream outlets. Image
Critical Jewish voices warn that Germany is dividing Jews into two camps, “protecting” only unconditional loyalty to Israel. Jews critical of Israel are equally endangered by the new resolution. Image
The resolution increases the danger to people with Middle Eastern heritage in Germany where Islamphobia has reached extreme levels and this community has borne the brunt of the anti-Palestinian crackdown. Image

Tthe Kurdish national liberation group PKK says it’s laying down arms, declaring that conditions for armed struggle no longer exist. Many welcome the move, but some Kurds are critical, saying the root causes behind the PKK’s creation still remain. Here's where it all began. Image
The PKK was one of the largest armed non-state actors worldwide. Öcalan led its foundation in 1978 in the southeast of Türkiye to fight for an independent Kurdistan. The early PKK was heavily inspired by the socialist and anti-colonial movement that defined the 1970s. Image
Just two years after the party’s founding, Türkiye was rocked by a military coup. The Kurdish language was banned. The state launched a full-blown counterinsurgency campaign, targeting the surging leftist and Kurdish independence movements that had begun to take root. Image

May 8 is the day several European countries celebrate the defeat of fascism. Even though most of Eastern and Central Europe was liberated by Soviet troops, lies, myths, and misconceptions about the Red Army remain prevalent. Here are some of the most common myths debunked. Image
🟡“Human Wave” Tactics

The “human wave” belief is part of a wider idea that Soviet tactics were unsophisticated, with commanders senselessly throwing their troops at the enemy. The truth, however, is that the Red Army employed sophisticated operational art such as deep battle tactics, emphasizing coordination of strategic, operational, and tactical levels.Image
🟡Desertion and Reluctance

While there were instances of desertion and reluctance (common in any large army), the Red Army generally demonstrated high levels of determination and resilience. Many Soviet soldiers were highly motivated by a sense of patriotic duty and the defense of their homeland.Image

A far-right Trump ally just forced Romania’s PM to resign. George Simion, leader of the ultra-nationalist AUR party, won 40.5% in Sunday’s first round of the presidential election. By Monday, PM Ciolacu stepped down—Romania’s far right is now one step from power. 🧵 Image
Image
Simion vows to ban same-sex marriage, eliminate Holocaust education, cut military aid to Ukraine, and purge Europe of what he calls “neo-Marxist madness.” Image
His nominee for prime minister, Călin Georgescu, is under investigation for building fascist networks and has described Romania’s wartime Nazi collaborators as “martyrs.” Image
